"You Say To People "Throw Off Your Chains" And They Make New Chains For Themselves?"

"Seems to be a major human activity, yes."

But my new chains are sparkly! And pink!

Really?

I'd have thought you'd go for an iridescent indigo.

Those were last weeks. Next week I'm going for an animated moire pattern in green, yellow, and black.

I forget which politician it was who used a series of terms found most prominently in The Jargon File in one of his speeches (grok and kluge among them). I found that quite funny, and apparently so did some journalist, since I read about it in a newspaper.

The fact that I cannot remember what politician it was and cannot find the article despite frantic googling on a number of occasions to me indicates how meaningful it probably was in the long run.

Meeting my dad on IRC would be more of a shock than hearing him talk about masturbation. In fact, hearing him not talk about masturbation would be something of a shock. My household had minimal taboos.

Am I the only one who thinks sharing an orgasm is saying, "Hey I orgasmed, it was pretty good."?

In that case, sharing an orgasm would not be creepy. In fact, it would be a standard measure of IRC nettiquite. The seasoned netizen would me mildly shocked had you not shared your orgasm with the whole channel! One must avoid these faux pas, in order not to become an hero!

The Right to Copy in a work is controlled by the Author of that work. That's what "Copyright" means. If an Author lifts restrictions on copying that work, then they have a number of options in asserting that this is the case. The Discordian "Kopyleft" is one of those options. There are others. For instance...

Fixed for great justice system.

I usually prefer to have both a digital copy and a dead tree copy of things. Since the dead tree copy must be bought, it legitimizes the digital copy into fair use. Also, I can stick a digital copy of all the books in my room (at last count, something like 400 volumes, not counting manga and reference manuals, with collections counting as one) on a thumbdrive and read it anywhere with a computer, however, I can read precisely zero digital copies of anything if I'm somewhere without a computer.

Well, say you were on vacation and you mailed half of it home?

Plus, it's technically illegal to manually place half of an orgasm in someone's mailbox.

I'm sure Daisy must have had *something*. You can't have that much indiscriminate sex with the 1920s nouveau riche without catching something.

This may explain why so many people went totally bonkers at the end.

I dunno. If you could fedex your neighbour half an orgasm with overnight delivery, would it be creepy?

Sounds like something Crowley would do...

That would depend on your neighbour.

That implies that the only way to share an orgasm with someone is fucking them, right? I don't think that constitutes sharing one, though <_<

Not 'lan'?

I've started making notes in my dead tree copy. It's great.
