I've started working on fleshing out a "Civil Services" group for the game.

@Chet Oh, honey. No. No.

I... honestly don't know how one could remove the racial concerns from the Vietnam time period or anything inspired by it. Modern history isn't really my forte, but I'm fairly sure the war had black people in it and that it was influenced by (and in turn itself influenced) the Civil Rights Movement back home.

You might be great at concept theory... but not at knowing what all the words you're putting together actually mean.

@Tinuviel I'll let you fly the ship ???

The last time you let me fly the ship I did a loop-the-loop, tried to roll it, and then almost crashed into a star after ripping the engines apart.

Do you really, really want me to fly the ship again?

Make me.

@insomniac7809 I keep forgetting how weird the US is with religion.

super hippie Presbyterian church

... how in the fuck does that happen?

PCUSA was the first major denomination to have gay marriage in the US. Not hard at all.

Those two things are totally not the same thing, at all.

Of all the things I mentioned, that's the one that confuses you? Really??

It's the only one I have direct experience with.

My cat (the male) is driving me more crazy than usual lately.

I really need a job to get out of the house more so I'm not constantly tempted to throw him to the elements just for some peace and quiet.

Hell, I want to do that with my 11 year old boy. I'm tempted, but he would just use his opposable thumbs to open the door again. At least it would work with the cat.

Isn't that what our parents did to us, though?

@Kestrel You can turn that off in the Notification section of the settings menu.

Anyone got any requests?

Super awesome pilot person, jaded with a heart of gold?

@insomniac7809 There's two versions of the song "Living Next Door to Alice." One is normal, one features the lines "Alice? Who the fuck is Alice?" during the chorus. I had only heard the latter version, so whenever it would come on the tradition would be for the audience (this was a prime karaoke song) to shout the added lines.

Picture my surprise when I was the only one doing this for the 'normal' version of the song...

I'm about to start on my PhD in clinical psychology myself

So... if a guy needed some lithium citrate... you could help out with that prescription right?

Having a really light-hearted, fun, casual, jokey conversation about ordinary and not even passably problematic things.

Some rando butting in: I see you are all talking about things that make you happy. Let me tell you about the sadness that plagues my life and why I myself could never experience such happiness as you are currently enjoying. It all began when I was a small child ...

Oh, so you know my mother too?

girl scouts will turn your daughter into a satanist lesbian

Yeah, really dodged a bullet there.

5 Parents. We're not replacement parents, and yet we are often expected to teach things that are in the wheelhouse of subjective experience, and cannot be taught by rote in a school.

@Chet You're being a dipshit.

@Chet said in Ensign Sue... the comic:

@Tinuviel Plagiarism, eh old bean?

No, dipshit.

@Derp Well yeah, but symbolism-analysis of weirdly banal stuff is one way to do it. If you're trained to look deep into boring shit all the time, you'll actually use the critical thinking you're taught to. It's one thing to teach how to think critically, it's another entirely to teach when.

ETA: Also, once the book is in your hands it's not the author's book anymore. It's yours. What the author thought or hoped or dreamed doesn't matter.
