Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm grading a student paper. Question: do most people consider pornography use a form of infidelity? I don't see it that way, but if it's a commonly held belief, I don't want to quash her.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I have certainly heard it phrased that way.

do most people consider pornography use a form of infidelity?
I don't know about most, but in my neck of the religiously conservative woods, it's a bare couple of steps away from adultery. Oh, and it's something men do, and it wrecks families, and they have earnest conferences about keep the scourge out of your home.

I've heard it called that as well, but I think most is overstating the case by a fair bit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think the idea that pornography is adultery is an incredibly sheltered one, and now that I'm an accredited (what?) anthropology paper marker, I'd question the student.
"for all intensive purposes"
I do love this, and like to say it almost as much as "I dismember when". I have been corrected on the dismember thing, and it felt like Christmas.
Work has been...continually productive. And revelatory. And I need to not flirt. And I think a co-worker is disappointed with/pissed at me. I let something drop through the cracks? I don't even remember that that part of it even exists! Seriously! I feel so bad.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I know a smart early 20s woman (I am being all "make her unidentifiable on the internet" but if you know me, you likely know who she is) who does actually feel that pornography is cheating and thus adultery in marriage. I don't agree with her theologically, but I can see how she rationally and calmly came to her decision. And since she's upfront about it with men she dates, fair enough.
I've been watching MST3K episodes, so I'm filtering everything through an obscure and disquieting lens.
As is right and proper.
Awesome maintenance dude just stopped by and my light / ceiling fan contraption needs to be replaced - but it's not dangerous that the light flicks on then off, so until a new one comes in tomorrow or Wed, it's Studio 54 strobetastic here. Until I get bored. So maybe 90 seconds of strobetastic and then I use other lights that actually stay on.
Now I can actually nap. It might mess up my sleep but, gosh, I want a nap. It certainly can't make me less productive that not.

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

I've seen plenty of letters to advice columns written by women who feel that way.
And, on another note, I saw a woman in the grocery store, with a teenage boy, maybe 14 or so, who I'm pretty sure was her son. The mother was wearing a "Coach Paterno: Just one thing: Thank You" shirt.
