I know that seems pretty messed up (what kinky shit might happen next? mummification? coprophagia?), but if you'd stuck around for the last half-hour or so, then things do get weird in a good way.

@avclub-54b9060039a6d5ecfbae83f82a76be29:disqus That's what I had to do, eventually. I thought that finding someone who you could watch TV with might be more important than a strict congruence w/r/t religion, but maybe one's correlated with the other, to some extent.
