Tangentially related to earlier I see a lot of posts floating around Tumblr saying that some queer relationships can reproduce and that saying otherwise is cissexist, but I don't really imagine many, say, transmen would want to carry a baby, or many transwoman would want to inseminate someone (Not to dismiss any transgendered people who would be willing, but I just don't think there would be that many). Am I correct in this assumption or am I being a presumptuous asshole?
I will happily discard my semen, never to be used again.
i'd say a good chunk of my dreams are scary, or at least unsettling
i don't interact with online acquaintances in my dreams all that often, but i do sometimes. When i do, they typically appear in person, because i rarely dream about using the internet.
Internet people in my dreams don't always look like their IRL selves; often they resemble avatars they've used, or a kind of odd blend of their avatars and photos they've posted. If they use avatars of the opposite sex, they sometimes appear as girls with male voices or vice versa.

"Oh, yes! Fill the churches with dirty thoughts! Introduce honesty to the White House! Write letters in dead languages to people you've never met! Paint filthy words on the foreheads of children! Burn your credit cards and wear high heels! Asylum doors stand open! Fill the suburbs with murder and rape! Divine madness! Let there be ecstasy, ecstasy in the streets! Laugh and the world laughs with you!"
Anyway blog antinatalism's reaction to this is just going to turn into crushing disappointment and misdirected anger when they decide Pizzolatto isn't an OG antinatalist (read: cuckoo for cocoa puffs).
I can tell this without reading them, I know them too well.

my lovely cuddleferret is a fan, and he has collaborated extensively with Current 93 and his work generally sounds ever so splendid and i have a special place in my heart for short stories...
I should set aside more time for reading, I really should.

It's easier if you have a Kindle. Much of his stuff is hard to find in print, I understand.
Also do not buy The Conspiracy Against the Human Race from Nine Banded Books if you buy it.
Because then you will be supporting the press that published a book literally called "The Homo and the Negro"

And that's terrible.
Nine Banded Books also published a book entitled "Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture" which may be the best coffee table book i have ever seen
How come in fiction, there only seems to be red roses; and never white, pink, or yellow?
Also, why is Gold the all symbolic and cool mineral in fiction. Pyrite is a way better mineral, it at least makes a decent growth habit; and has much better cleavage than gold. How can you not love a thing that makes cubes in many directions?
And really, why is it "red as a ruby" and not "Red as Eudilyte".
And how come you see giant symbolic serpents in fiction, but never skinks?

Symbolism. Stock metaphors. And at least some of the time, lazy, unoriginal writing.

One of the first computers my parents owned ran Windows 3.1. On that compy, A:/ was the 3 and 1/2" floppy drive, and B:/ was the 5 and 1/4" floppy drive (which we never used). We had that for several years before we upgraded it with a CD-ROM.

Heh, the first computer I ever used ran Windows 3.1
It was my Mom's work computer...later she upgraded it to Windows 95 by downloading the entirety of Windows 95 over dialup.
Also, I'm kind of bugged that most mineral names end in "ite". It makes them all sound the same; as though we just numbered them.
I mean, Cerussite looks so cool; but the name can't stand up to stuff like Chalcedony, Feldspar, and stuff.
And heck, Cessium auride is a frigging interesting substance; but nooo, fiction really doesn't seem to like liquds (well, I dislike liquids; but Cessium Auride does some pretty awesome stuff when mixed with water).
I mean, so many chemical and physical properties of things that exist in the real world...
And really, fiction should learn the difference between Ductility, Brittleness, resistance to being deformed, resistance to scratching, hardness, and strength.
Actually, no. Fiction, keep treating those things as the same. Don't homogenize your physics with reality. The more variety, the better.
Just try to exploit things like Liquid Nitrogen and ferrofluids and the non-neutonian stuff.

Whoa
CompuServe (her employer at the time) actually instructed all their employees to do it that way, because they had a volume license of Windows 95 and didn't want people going out and buying the floppy disks (yes, Windows 95 was sold on floppy disks) and charging it to an expense account.
TBF, Miyazaki is an old man who grew up with the first real manga to ever be published, so I'm not sure that he's really coming from a "Captain Obvious" viewpoint.
I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
>According to the recent retiree, anime suffers because industry staff is made up of otaku who "don't spend time watching real people" and are "humans who can't stand looking at other humans."
See, this is what I worry about with regards to myself.

of course, this doesn't bother me
in fact i don't remember you appearing as anything other than yourself.... even if you did, i associate you more with Rarity than Cadpig, still
i've definitely had at least one dream where you were using a Rarity avatar online, not sure about a Cadpig one
On the 31st day, this happens http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2014/01/30/the-most-shocking-thing-about-hbos-true-detective/
you post too many selfies for me to associate you with any other image
(i think the only other heaper for which i could say this is Justice)

i read a Ligotti short story once, can't remember what it was called
i liked it
They did publish the memoirs of a holocaust denier and a book on penis size by a man who says we should sterilize those on welfare.

Because nine-banded armadillos.
DARN IT NINE BANDED BOOKS, YOU RUINED THE HYPOTHETICAL COMBINATION OF THE BOOK AND THE NIN-BANDED ARMADILLO.

And the award for Captain Obvious goes tooooooo
I just find it funny this is (anime)news,
I would've never thought of that as.
I'm too tired to continue that, please pretend I said a really funny joke.
They have an article about a set of marines located on a lower position to regular marines?
