The Richard Nixon school of ballet and the arts / Re: Open Bar: We hacked the DNC and all we got are these lousy emails

Cain I just wanted to note that I stared at the reply box for several minutes on the child abuse investigation article after reading it, trying to compose myself..

The fact it's happening still
is a welcome sign to me
that not ALL the fruits have rotted
on the tip-top branches of the tree.

Poetry aside, I think I mostly need something to punch.

Was it the Dutroux one by any chance? If not, then you've probably got much worse to read yet. That entire thing is still easily in the top 10 worst things I've ever forced myself to read.

This article here. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-37500878

What is this Dutroux? A Frenchman? I've never heard of. Got a link?

Depends on the client I suppose, I read somewhere (might be bullshit) that the majority of men who visit prostitutes are the elderly.
It depends on what they are going in for: is it just sex, or are they looking for "the girlfriend experience".

It's a much more complex issue, but there is at the heart of it an objectification, and the fact that they represent a workplace hazard. I'd be inclined to condemn their actions but not for continuing a culture of objectification, rather being subject to it, unable to exist without it.

Reading is how the demons get in your eyeballs.

This is true, and it's why all books should be banned unless it's the Bible, and we really shouldn't look at that too hard, either.  Just in case.

The Bible puts THE MOST demons in your eyes tho...

No, "Bob" does, but only after you pay in COLD, HARD CASH.

Well... ok. You're right. Per capita most demons per page for sure. I'm just guessing here, but sometimes I think maybe "Bob" figured out how to reverse-engineer the ark of the covenant.

I'm absolutely certain that calling it "planet 9" was some sort of last ditch attempt to keep "Planet X" propaganda from proliferating and leading folks to the Church and true prosperity. Like no doubt whatsoever.

This may be the first time I've ever seen a chatbot successfully rebel.

Huh.

True.  It's all full of people, and people make things more complicated by virtue of nobody is exactly the same.  I did find the idea that condemning the client being toxic food for thought, though.
