One of my apartment neighbors has a "NO JUNK MAIL OR FLYERS" label on his mailbox, and he seems to get less than the rest of us.

The problem at my house is that my father was insanely into mail-order catalogues in the early '90s, and we still get them ALL. I'm sure I could unsubscribe him if I sat down and tried to, but... I'm lazy. The amount of catalogues we get is absolutely insane.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the link, WindSparrow. And maybe I'll try that tag, Perkins, although I can't imagine the mail delivery person would be happy about that.
German man castrates teen daughter's 57 year old boyfriend. There's so much sympathy for the father in the comments--I don't get it. There's no indication the older guy did anything illegal. It might be icky, it might make you defensive as a parent, but supporting castration? Seriously?

I've had lots of Mormons try to convert me. First of all, I think nabbing a crip is like a six-point buck to them. Second, racial profiling, which is creepily accurate since there are Mormons in my family...but how do they know? Do you just go after every blonde that doesn't wear makeup that often, or... Kind of boggled by prostletizing Lutherans...the ones I know would take a casserole over more than The Word, but I know there are a number of different branches and stuff. For myself, it would be a hard thing to get "filled with the spirit" in, but I did it for a while to make my grandma happy and meet kids who didn't call me "spaz"

holy shit, ita, literal castration? What's wrong with people?

Because books.

That's medieval, for real. Jesus.
We're still getting all kinds of junk mail for the last two people who lived here. I'm not sure how my delivery person would feel about a sign, either, though.

My mail carrier already has a grudge against me. I'm pretty sure I would either get extra junk or just stop getting mail at all.

And everyone's calling the boyfriend sick and not the father.
I'm beginning to feel like the odd one out for not thinking the boyfriend is definitely sick. I don't know, I haven't met the 17 year old. It could be really disturbing, but maybe it isn't. And it could still be disturbing if she were 23. It depends on the 23.

Art Crawl!!!
I have to say that no matter how much you dislike somebody - when is castration ever the answer?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ION, I love this book cover:
She lusted in sin orgies and reefer brawls.
Cool! I mean, if you're gonna have an orgy, you might as well make it a sin orgy.
But who has the energy to brawl after "doing reefer"?
