t hold the handles of the debate.
ben_vulpes: 'tisn'
t actually "alone at home" in this part of the world.
mircea_popescu: all joking aside : kids gotta grow up with kids. first few years dun matter, but if he doesn'

danielpbarron: i encountered one of these "just friends" chicks somewhat recently : girl hits me up on farceb00k seeing that her friends are friends with me; chats me up daily for like a week; I suggest she come see me and get some food somewhere; her response "what would we do? just talk?" ; mine "sure" ; haven'

t stand about 80% of everything hollywood ever made because of the boob cut.
mircea_popescu: you know, just because she isn'
t looking 2 inches under the apex of the camera lens (which is how that effect is obtained, and in all women, even the liveliest cockteases of the lot) but instead 30 degrees to the left in the foliage changes EXACTLY nothing
