It's also plausible because Pence is a loving idiot who refuses to associate with :females: when his wife isn't around. He clearly has weird ideas about sexuality in general.

Tldr; Author of the Witcher novels is salty that the video game based after his books has led to some people thinking the video games inspired his books, also CD projekt red offered him royalties for the game he initially refused thinking the game would be a failure and boy is he not happy. The books have sold 2+ million copies, the game? 25+ million.

And if that's not schadenfreudy enough for some here is a classic.

Yes they do occur in the states, just no one gives a poo poo because they're zoo animals, they're in cages and enclosures all day, who gives a gently caress how the animals gently caress?

Pence pays a suspicious amount of attention to animal fuckin', is what I'm getting at. :crossarms:

He's lived his life under the mistaken idea that monogamy was a natural thing and now, at this late date, he's getting a true education and it's either going to make him double down or break his fragile sanity into pieces. Either which is pretty good schaden because one gets the feeling by looking at him that he's not held together by sanity but by the idea that some magical space daddy metes out eternal punishment.

I get the feeling he's not strong enough to take that much of a shock to the system at his age, and will simply crumble internally instead of flipping out and launching the nukes.

Religion is the ultimate schaden, really. You train people to believe in dogma to the extent that any challenge to it results in either people taking the whole thing with a grain of salt or losing their minds completely. It's oddly beautiful in a very sadistic way. Which is another thing Mike Pence may learn about during his time in the actual world.

I doubt he knows anything about sexuality outside of procreation. Which is funny because it explains why he looks so alien: imagine a human being who has never felt an iota of actual joy that didn't involve thanking some deity. After a while it changes you into...well, someone who looks like they're wearing a discount Leslie Nielsen mask.

I'm guessing he gave up a royalty on every game sold to get a higher flat-fee up front, which would be the right move if you thought the game was gonna be a failure, and now he's lamenting how much he could have made.

You take an upfront payout instead of a piece of the profits/each sale. It's not a bad option when you think that things are not going to be a smash hit.

Honestly, he could probably use a better agent since a good one would make each game a negotiation and after the success of the second game he could have gone for the cut of each sale deal.

Granted, on the flip side, it could be very possible the series would never have taken off if he was taking enough cash from royalties for the developers/producers to decide it wasn't worth making any further games after the first or second.

We got some kids books in where I work today, and the stories were amazing.

One was about a penguin who wanted to fly, but everyone told her it was impossible. Then she slipped on some ice and fell off a cliff. Kiwi flashbacks!

The other was about a panda who escaped from an American zoo and befriended a raccoon in an alley. The panda didn't like any of the literal trash the raccoon tried to feed him, so they went to the library and found a book about pandas and stowed away on a flight to China. They learned Tai Chi and visited the Great Wall. Then they went to this panda sanctuary, and they tearfully said goodbye as the raccoon went back to America while the panda found a home filled with bamboo. The sanctuary then put the panda in a crate and sent it back to the same goddamn zoo. Of course the panda re-escaped, found his raccoon buddy, and the raccoon took the panda to a garden center where he ate lucky bamboo out of the dumpster.

Umm... lots of animals are monogamous or practice multiple types of mating habits where one includes monogamy. It is absolutely natural.

The real shaden is people getting so worked up over the VP not wanting to be alone with other women. Who gives a gently caress? Does it impact your life so much that you need to post multiple paragraphs online about it? Because, if so, let me tell you about US pat down and chaperone laws.

But it's not the only one, and that's the big thing.

And Pence can't be alone with other women because he can't see women as anything other than sexual material. That's quite a big thing considering he's a heartbeat away from the presidency and yet is so repressed/emotionally damaged that he can't trust his own libido.

Did Pence always have this rule about being alone with women or is it just because he's now hitched his wagon to Trump and is being paranoid about getting accused of something? At least if its the latter there's a logic to it that I can understand, even if its amazingly dumb.

Do you work in some nihilism for children themed bookstore?

I read the penguin one out loud to my coworkers after declaring it seriously appealed to the nihilistic side of me, also I fell of a cliff and almost died once so there was that too. We actually work in a zoo gift shop, and so a bunch of us are animal nerds. In one scene the penguin goes to a library to read books on flight, and the librarian scoffed. The librarian was also a skua, which is a type of large seabird that eats baby penguins. We laughed pretty hard about that too, imagining this librarian getting so pissed at the stupid penguin that he just eats her.

That's what's scary about Pence, he's smart enough to keep his mouth shut when necessary. When it comes to his actual beliefs he's crazier than Trump but so far he's been able to keep all that under wraps. Like, if Joe Biden hated a minority group we'd definitely have heard all about it within a week or two of the Obama presidency.

The problem is that being openly racist is pretty much the only way to sink your public perception. Sexism, homophobia, and transphobia are still accepted by a non-trivial portion of the US.

Yeah Pence's need for a chaperone when alone with ladies or drinking is odd and speaks a lot about his self control.

The problem is that it actually matters. If there's a diplomat that needs to discuss something in private, he better be male. If there's an applicant for a position that works closely with the VP, having a penis is an advantage.

Not life and death poo poo but shouldn't need to be an issue at all
