"Alan Moore loves superhero comics, especially the DCU and would clearly like to still be writing them. This anger is clearly the anger of a someone who still loves their ex even though they know it's impossible to live with them any longer—-mainly because they keep doing shit like this and Blackest Night."

Hear hear!

I'm only responding because Junior already promoted you- I don't usually feed trolls.

"ultimately lead to a country run by rich companies who can persuade dishonest politicians at the drop of a dime."

Exactly. It's a ritual whether you recognize it or not. Perhaps more so when you don't.

"i plan to re-read it some day."

Me, too.

This... might not be a great thing for STI transmission.

This sounds pretty good to me. After all, it's not like the Pill is actually so very benign. It can mess up your cycle, radically screw with mood and emotional state, and even alter who you're attracted to. Not that it hasn't been worth it, but we'll need to weigh any side effects from this procedure against those…

Yeah- there are enough shithead guys out there to ruin it for all of us. "Of course I've had the ultrasonics, honey!"

Exactly.

That would actually be great- and a kind of middle finger to instant reboots.

Aaaaand it comes back around to the metric for you, doesn't it. Admit it. ;^)

Cool- I'll check these out. Thanks!

I am not an isolationist, either. I simply bemoan that we're left in a "Man of Steel, Woman of Tissue Paper" situation. It's really hard for us to touch anything but the most stable structures without rocking them, and we never get to/have to use our full force.

Thanks- that's very enlightening about how it goes within the world the researchers themselves are operating in.

Ah-ha.

Depends what news.

I didn't see any such control in this experiment, but would be happy to follow a link to an experiment that does have some. Also, even if people are predisposed to go one direction or the other, surely that disposition can be reinforced or radicalized.

You make me love you.
