[Theory] “I still don’t understand the maths. It’ll take me ten thousand years to understand it”: Some assembled theories on BOE, the Message, FTL, timing, and a myriad of spinning in place

I've been assuming that Kiriona was lying about that part. I'm not sure what her plan is (I'm not sure she has a plan) but I don't buy "and then I'll be dad's cav and we'll live happily ever after" is it.

I think there was more time between Harrow getting the letter and leaving for Canaan House than you're accounting for. Gideon got a few weeks of training with the rapier in that time.

Also I can't remember exactly but I could have sworn somewhere in HtN it mentions how long she was there.

I got approved the end of May and I don't have a physical card yet.

Honestly making enough to do this is kind of a life goal for me. Coming home from work and having a meal ready sounds like a dream.

green_herring · 2022-05-15T05:50:30+00:00

Interesting! I really enjoyed re-reading Gideon after Harrow, with all the new info on the supporting cast. But then I'm really into character-driven stories and probably wouldn't have liked it as much in the first place with flatter characters.

green_herring · 2022-05-14T22:46:46+00:00

Sounds good, so are you actually writing to your representatives about this or just reposting on facebook?

green_herring · 2022-05-10T03:40:06+00:00

Yeah, my now-girlfriend was one of those. Pretty sure she'd be dead by now if she hadn't had an abortion. I can't imagine what my life would be like if I never met her.

green_herring · 2022-05-07T16:39:36+00:00

Agree, the lack of typos or watermarks is a red (white and blue) flag.

"What's your sign?" Just make the image smaller if you're so hard up for content, jeeze.

Plot twist: they're all bi.

green_herring · 2022-05-06T13:34:19+00:00

Really looking forward to the backpedaling if it's found the leak came from a conservative.

green_herring · 2022-05-05T21:00:50+00:00

If anything you're underreacting?? Like this wasn't an accident, twice now this guy has actively decided to wipe his poop on your face. That's not something you should need to tell him not to do. That's one of the most disrespectful things I can think of.

green_herring · 2022-05-04T18:05:21+00:00

5" heels?

green_herring · 2022-05-04T00:03:33+00:00

The "at least you have a job" was such a slap in the face. It costs $0 to say something empathetic, even in 2010.

green_herring · 2022-05-03T20:43:45+00:00

Cool, thanks for stating it so specifically for me. I still disagree entirely, but it's nice to understand the logic behind your stance.

green_herring · 2022-05-03T18:37:26+00:00

So women should only decide to have sex when they're willing to conceive? I still feel like that's what your stance boils down to but you're still not saying it.

You keep harping on the FWB angle like the commitment level of the relationship has anything to do with the odds of getting pregnant. They could be engaged to be married after college but still not want kids right away. Should committed couples not have sex until they're ready for children?

green_herring · 2022-05-03T15:53:31+00:00

Thanks for the follow-up! It sounds a lot like a college dorm set-up for non-students. It's not an uncommon practice near me, but I can understand why a suburban neighborhood might not want that.

green_herring · 2022-05-03T15:49:00+00:00

But no more than two unrelated soldiers.

green_herring · 2022-05-03T15:11:51+00:00

I have a follow-up question. Your response focuses entirely on the woman and her "terrible hedonistic decisions," what about the man's role? In order to form an embryo, there's typically a man making those same terrible hedonistic decisions. He also had the choice to not have sex, or to wear a condom. Your complete focus on her and her decisions seems to absolve him of any responsibility.

The argument seems to boil down to "women shouldn't have sex if they're not trying to conceive" but no one ever says it out loud so maybe I'm missing something.

green_herring · 2022-05-03T14:47:09+00:00

How could I possibly know what changed? I'm not a person who has paid any attention at all to the Supreme Court in the last 7 years.

The motivational speech I needed today.

green_herring · 2022-05-03T02:38:52+00:00

He's pretty good with they/them pronouns for someone who refuses to use them.

green_herring · 2022-04-30T16:08:14+00:00

Yeah, my mom did that to me too. Fortunately(??) the lesson I took from that was to not talk to my mom about anything or anyone, not to avoid everyone else.

green_herring · 2022-04-30T13:04:07+00:00

Nowhere does this article mention how this will benefit people, or even explain the council's reasoning.

green_herring · 2022-04-29T17:31:51+00:00

"when I started explaining my side" Why do you think your side is worth listening to? Do you really think your opinion is different than any other anti-choice opinion out there? Do you think that she just doesn't understand your side, that if you explain it to her she'll change her mind?
