30-odd years ago I sent one of my nephews a PC for Xmas. My sister’s kid. A few weeks later I finally got a chance to travel back there and paid them a visit. Seeing him on the PC, I jokingly told him that eventually he’d be able to impregnate a wombat in Australia just using a PC here in Brooklyn. 24/7. No problem. This Chinese kissing device seems to point in that direction. Sort of.
Once again, life imitates art.

Ugh!


59½ years is a helluva parking fee.
Honesty is important, but ACAB and that woman is not going to get any help that she needs ![]()
… nobody explained to the kid that we don’t have to answer questions at all ![]()
The article does not say, but clearly the child has never had the talk about the police
I fear they are in for a surprise as they get older and learn more about the world. I hope they draw the right conclusions from what they learn

Still, self-help is no match for methamphetamines. If they were worth a damn, they’d be helping her seek help through social services. ![]()
That was what I intended to convey, but apparently failed to do. Writing clearly can be hard ![]()
Yeah - she is going to jail, not rehab, in all likelihood. If I knew that she would be going into a diversion program that would give her good, fact based substance abuse treatment (which there is not a lot of)) and real therapy I would be happy with this outcome. Instead I just think about how she will be locked up, further impoverished (involvement with the legal system is expensive), and released back into a worse position
