It's going to be Ten Cent Beer Night, but for nerds. Combine the gamers with the Pokemon scalpers and all hell will break loose!

I assume fun, natural fun.

Going on the registry is a fate worse than death in that it's impossible to ever have a normal life once released from prison. But there are absolutely people who deserve that outcome placed upon them for the harm they caused.

"Romeo and Juliet" laws largely exist to prevent this from happening. So an 18 year old dating a 17 year old in his math class, a couple months from turning 18, shouldn't have to go on the same sex offender registry for life.

That's a very specific case that does not apply to most sex offenders.

In the words of one of my old poli sci professors, can we go back to living in precedented times?

Even if she wasn't his student, there is a clear differential of power between a teacher and a school student that has to be addressed. Not to mention the fact that she was fucking 16!

22 is old enough to fucking know better! Especially as a teacher, where there is a clear power dynamic. What makes men act like this?

Replace The Pope with someone like Zooey Zephyr and that would be a pretty bomb ass blunt rotation.

$700k. I don't think I'll make it to 65 either way, so I'll take the money.

Never heard of Reggie's. Didn't know there was a second manga shop besides Kinokuniya downtown.

Being a TA was very different than becoming an adjunct and teaching a class. I'm thankful for the opportunity, which kind of fell in my lap, but it's still a huge jump in workload as I'm also taking a class as well. I can only imagine teaching more than 1 class.

That's probably going to be the killer of her next crime novel, now that I cursed it into existence.

She wouldn't be creative. She'd probably go with Ima Mann or something like that.

At this point, I don't give a shit who is on the list. Reveal the whole thing, burn the status quo down and start over.

I would have liked to see positive trans representation in media when I was growing up. The only place that I saw where trans women were depicted as desirable, as opposed to freaks and monsters, was in fucking porn! I wish I was kidding.

Fucking work of art, right there. The sheer level of coordination it takes to pull that off is something I can only dream of.

Wrestling is awesome!

I was named after a John Wayne movie my grandparents liked, it wasn't some major thing. People choose names for their kids for a variety of reasons.

They released the original version of Gatchaman on Blu-Ray, in the US at least. Not sure about the UK. Regardless, no 7-Zark-7 in sight.
