Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

It's just....I can see always getting good grades and reaching college and being confused by C's. I can see thinking you're super special and talented because everyone always told you you were. Not right, but I can see how it happens.

How are you so utterly, mind-bogglingly, unself-aware and unversed in the ways of the fucking civilized world that you don't know to leave when an officer asks you to? And then you call some other officers? And then call the first officers for a ride home? And then try to get a cabbie to subsidize your little stint with actually having to pay for your stupidity?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So there's little incentive to LIE on those forms...

Fuck the forms; the lady asked me directly. Which made me think, "...Do I look like a tranny?"

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

The workout couldn't wait til she found her card or got a new one? Or did she not belong at all - and really bad at sneaking in?

She probably thought that when they found out she was actually a student, they'd be really sorry. Her parents would even call!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

If you lose a card, it's something like $25 to get a new one. And they can take the money from the debit account associated with the card, and most students will generally have several hundred dollars on that account -- there are requirements about how much they have to put on at the beginning of the semester.

I believe the sex at birth question is about excluding donors with a higher likelyhood of HIV.

Meeting with Nickelodeon went well. I'm consulting on the control systems for their new resorts, beginning with the one in San Diego. This meeting was mainly to start to put numbers to the pie in the sky ideas for the facility, so I'm really in at pretty close to the ground floor on this one.

Eh, it's usually a LOT harder to tell FTM trannies from bioguys than it is to tell MTF trannies from biogirls. Most of the guys I know who've been on T more than few months, and who've had chest surgery, you'd never know. A few, I can guess from experience (height is a big indicator), but even then...if they've got no tits and a full beard, how can you know? MTF's are usually more handicapped by the general height/size issue, as well as the getting-rid of hair, and the differing social expectations that make their interaction often seem awkward, as a female.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Wow, I'm thinking trespassing, resisting arrest, failure to obey an officer... all because you *had to* use an elliptical machine?

I think counseling is in that student's future.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think counseling is in that student's future.

And/or a swift kick in the ass from the Reality Fairy. Who is a tranny....
