... y'know, I think out of all of that, what got me the most was that they named one of their information gathering (or something along those lines, anyway) systems TRED. It's, like. Seriously? You named it a barely changed tread? Bloody farcical. Jackboot says hi! It's decided to stop even freaking trying.

I appreciate absurdity in my fiction, not my high level legal news, goddamnit.

Eh, it would be if you didn't have the same reaction to non-homosexuals flirting with you after you said you weren't interested, if quite mild as the phenomena goes. Otherwise it's just being fairly normal.

The question was pointed more at kk than you, AI, though it does explain how it makes sense. There's a fair number of homophobic homosexuals out there. Critter in question was probably just slinging insults at random, but it's still a thing that exists.

... whatever the point-of-view character is for the more disturbing dreams I end up having does, indeed, tend to not particularly react with fear or disturbance or whatev'. Me on the other hand, often gets riled up enough to wake myself up from inside the dream.

I'll only have like three or four of that sort of thing I can remember/wake me up per year, though, and that's with pretty regularly (as in, usually at least a few times a week, sometimes a few times a day) having dreams I remember (for at least a little while) after waking up. Most of the time, when it comes to dreaming, I can only assume my subconscious freaking loves me or somethin'. Lotta' real nice stuff. High adventure, delightful lasciviousness, wonderful conversations, oft times pretty amazing set-pieces or ideas (dream brain kinda' loves to invent or improve on games ♥), the list just sorta' goes on. Sometimes the ruddy things will even compose music for me, to the point I kinda' wish I was worth a damn when it comes to writing down musical notation. If I could dream indefinitely, I probably wouldn't bother waking up.

Is true. Still kinda' terrible design to have it so your website is completely nonfuctional without it, though...

E: Though the more irritating thing is it doesn't work, say, here on B12, even with javascript on. Or on hosting site itself.

Furry porn only gets weirder the deeper you delve, yeah.

Nah, that's true of pretty much all of that sort of thing, not just furry stuff. 'Fraid to say that just making (some of) the participants anthromorphic or act like animals or whatever isn't even remotely enough to win the weirdness race, or even give it a notable competitive advantage. It's just a thing, and a quite minor one as things go.

... in other news, I'm starting to wonder exactly what photobucket did that makes anything hosted on their site completely invisible to me. Maybe it's an opera thing, I'unno. Have noticed the few times I've went to the site itself to try to view something the layout and whatnot has turned absolutely miserable. Can't even seen the gorram picture without javascript running, and sometimes not even then

No, no, P, I can confirm that untrue. Pretty sure it was either '95 or '96 that I first found porn online, and I've seen archived stuff from earlier than that -- there's a few collections floating around of old BBC licentious an' lewd material. Think I ran into Anthony's Firefly before that, which was pretty much my first encounter with sexually explicit media, period.* _{Also the first time I saw the word necrophilia :V}and yes i know that was a joke

Also nah, at the conversation in general, that thing isn't really what I'd call furry media, exactly. I mean, maybe retroactively? But it's more relatively-standard early-ish sci-fi/alien smut than anything related to the more modern furry-labeled material. Proto-furry softcore, maybe? Kinda' interesting to contemplate what the proper categorization would be...

*E: Well, that I recognized as such. I read some of the adept series before that, but at the time wasn't really cognizant of what I was reading. Some things can be ignored, giant bug proboscis up the bum, not so much. Especially considering what was happening before that.

E2: Incidentally, I recommend to no one that they read firefly. Just. Putting that out there.

... I didn't eat crab anyway, but that's definitely a "Note to self: In near baltic sea, avoid crabs" kinda' thing.

... probably? Pretty sure you can potty train the smarter birds, anyway.

E: And now I'm wondering if you could train a pet crow to crap on your neighbor's car. Damnit, brain.
