I have her father's blessing to marry her!


She told me she would not marry me.


We're not dating.

---

A close (platonic) friend of mine was talking to her dad some time after she hit a deer, when I'd driven out to check up on her while she waited for a tow truck and lent her my car. He thinks she should marry me, and she dropped that on me at a small friends' get-together a few drinks in.

It's left me mostly bemused, but it's also juicy enough that it kind of demands you mull it over and reflect on how things ended up this way. It's somehow flattering, a testament to our friendship, and stings a little all at the same time. "There's a niche for that" summarily describes her romantic outlook on me (we've joked about that, and about me becoming a hot-tub streamer), anyways.

I guess I can put 'turned down for marriage' on my lifetime achievements, though?

Yeah, but it would be "turned down for marriage without even asking" though.    :P

Is the proposition of dating intriguing nonetheless? :)

Broadly? Sure. With this friend? It's a line we've both agreed not to cross- we're just not each others' types, and trying to make something work outside the context of our friendship to know 'what if' or be less single won't make either of us happier.

That's some bomb-ass maturity right there. Good on both of yas.

Starting to read something* I saw mentioned elsewhere, a few chapters in and they casually mention property management companies having main battle tanks.

And I'm just like.

HOA equivalents having an armor division is possibly the most dystopian proposition I've read in years. Holy hell.

I almost killed someone tonight.
Drunk, high on coke idiot attacked the new barkeep in my regular pub.
I interfered and then he attacked me.
Had to squeeze his throat artery until he passed out.
End result, no one died. Guy just passed out for 30 seconds. Which was enough for the security to come and take over.

Glad nobody died.
Good job on the sleeper hold.

I hope neither you, nor any non-combatant was wounded either.

Thanks.
No injuries for innocent bystanders nor me except for a minor bruise or two.

I'm still baffled by my own action though. I tend to avoid conflict.

But I have some golden rules. One is, don't touch the kiddos that serve me my beer.
On normal weekends stuff like that doesn't happen in my regular pub. It is a friendly place.
But last night was King's Night (today is King's Day), and on that night it's just a coming and going of drunk random people everywhere.

Aren't you disabled or something? I like to imagine you choked the guy while sitting on a wheelchair, but I'm probably confusing you with somebody else here.

My disablility is called autism. It doesn't require wheelchairs.


EDIT: WTF. France was struck by the biggest attack on internet ever seen in the world.
It was not a digital attack.
It was physical. All around the country, but mostly in Paris and Lyon, glass fibre cables were cut in a coordinated attack.

3 out of 4 main 'backbone' cables, connecting the entire nation to internet were cut, as well as many cables running next to highways and railroads.

No one has claimed it so far. Your best guess is as good as mine.

News I could find on it suggests the amount of people actually effected was less than 1% of the folks using the carriers involved... something like 40k people in a relevant area larger than paris? Reports seem to be saying there wasn't a huge effect in terms of actual impact, due to available redundancies and whatnot.

Perhaps is just people robbing the fiber or thinking is cooper wire to rob it. Happens ALL the time here.

I'm curious as to how a tank would evolve. Would it climb out of the primordial ooze wiggling it's track-nubs, feeding on smaller jeeps before crawling onto the shore having evolved proper treds?
