I can only imagine Amazon trying to convince the rights -holders to licence vast quantities of gay & straight porn based on their properties that are primarily marketed to teenagers.

It pretty much comes in every genre imaginable, though probably 90% is strictly romance related (though not always porn-y romance). Another good chunk is people obsessing about what happened after the story ended (or was prematurely canceled).

My feeling is that they would have some rule about previously published works - if it was loose on the Internet before you tried to sell it to Amazon, they won't take it. It would probably be worth their while to try and match anything submitted to previously published works (If profs can do it with your term papers,…

I am a big fan of the dress code my mother basically enforced:

Generally students don't need as many clothes when they have a uniform to go to school in (And they don't have as many copies of the uniform as they would have of regular clothes), so they only need casual clothes for the weekend. It overall results in parents having to buy fewer clothes.

Ha! Doctor who doesn't have the budget for something like that!

For Serious? That was the mildest, politest version of "I'm an atheist" I've ever heard.

I've made it a habit to never underestimate the ability of humans to bust into and break things that other humans have invented

I think it varies from store to store how strictly they follow the "which websites are allowed " rules - I got almost $100 off my microwave at Best Buy because I found a sketchy members only group -buy website with a way lower price for the same model. The cashier and manager at that store didn't care enough to…

Don't.

Perspective. It might not be as good as eggs, but it's a heck of a lot better than, say, instant Quaker oatmeal (With Sugar and also more Sugar) or Cocoa puffs and Milk. If you aren't a person who cooks hot breakfast every morning, its a much easier change to make than scrambling some eggs instead - I personally can't…

2) Since when is having a live-in a necessity?

The last time I was seen in public in sweatpants (in a non exercise context) was when I was recovering from stomach flu and I went to the corner store to get a bottle of ginger ale in the vain hope it would make me feel better .

I was having trouble expressing my feelings in words. So I went to GIFs. Here is a selection of things I found while searching "Glitter Explosion"

Same reaction. I nearly went cross eyed staring at it, and I still can't be sure.

My mistake :D Whatever it is, I'm sure it's fine as long as supreme executive power is only derived from a mandate from the Gingerist.

I was thinking it was more an anarcho-syndicalist commune ...

I actually assumed that it was to curtail the possible spread of disease. Wild animals are more likely to have fleas, ticks and parasites, or to carry wild strains of virus or bacteria that aren't common in a domestic pet population.

I think it's better that everybody just wash their hands of the whole thing.

Is it weird to be annoyed that I wasn't invited to an out -of-town friend's wedding? Especially since I knew they were getting married (at some nebulous point) and had already budgeted to make the trip.
