I could kind of deal with that but now he is talking about adopting a cat and feeding it a vegan diet. I hope he doesn't go through with it.
I am almost certain this will kill the cat. Dogs can get away with vegetarian diets and the likes, but cats need meat in their diet. They simply can't get the proper nutrients without it. Pet Island's cat megathread appears to confirm this.

Please don't let this dipshit get a cat.

The last one comes from a book by the guy who wrote Jaws, a medical thriller. He later admitted giving people this idea was a mistake.

And Andrew Wakefield, the guy who published the very-definitively-proven-to-be-fraudulent studies about vaccines causing autism, lost his medical license and his 'studies' were publicly denounced. It doesn't matter that the truth comes out later--the damage is already done, and those people are already completely convinced.

People are stupid.

Edit: vvvv I knew there were some big conflicts of interest, but I didn't know that. Wow, that's brazen.

Didn't it come out somewhere that Anita Blake is Hamilton's self insert? I wish I could remember where I'd read that.

Anita is described in the series as a petite woman of mixed German and Mexican heritage with curly long hair and pale skin

I realize there's a lot of stuff that one could pick apart about Vacuum's old comics, but the part that sticks with me is "The Man/The Legend" shirt. All vampires in Anne Rice's books are impotent, so Lestat is apparently legendarily floppy-cocked.

I remember reading somewhere that Anne Rice vampires were actually supposed to have perma-boners. It went over my head when I originally read the books. Man now you are making me talk about vampire boners. Why you gotta go and do that.

Hm, that does sound vaguely familiar. I might be mixing them up with White Wolf vampires now. Damnit, why do I know anything about vampire dicks?

I am The Fury, you know that shingles is contagious, right? A sex addict with (I'm assuming untreated, because she sure doesn't seem to be seeking treatment for anything else) active shingles is pretty bad news.

PS: sever, etc.

False alarm. I made that post from memory and I apparently mixed it up with something else. She was correct, shingles is non-transmittable (assuming you've had chickenpox). I shouldn't post when I'm tired. Sorry about that.

I'm also wondering if her occasional shriekings about OMG I'M SO AWFUL YOU NEED TO CALL THE COPS ON ME weren't a little bit self-aware with a ring of sincerity to them. Like, "yes I have problems and my psyche is in tatters and I hurt people, I need help and/or to be put away". Not enough remotely enough self-awareness to actually seek out these things herself, or try to curb her abuse, or even admit it in a serious way. So gently caress her. Kinda interesting though maybe.

No, I think it's far more likely that the aim of that tactic was to turn I am The Fury's anger and aggression into pity. "Oh, no, you're not that bad, baby. It's ok, we can work this out."

Just more manipulation.

You can't convince someone that they're crazy. They have to believe it themselves before they can be helped. The whole 'you can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink' thing, except with anime-waifus and poo poo.

Basically, becoming human/normal/not-a-monster-anymore is the "good ending" in the World of Darkness, but Denise-alikes completely miss the point and are just dying to be a ~*~sexy vampire~*~ or whatever.

It's always Fight Club ripoffs because they provide a fantasy world that allows sheltered middle-class white male nerds to fantasize that they have a purpose in life that doesn't involve coming to terms with how much they've failed by the standards of our society.

Chill, dude. That was a perfectly fine way to tell a story and wasn't even particularly wall-of-text. I appreciate you taking the time to write out the story. But seriously, don't worry so much about whether you're going to annoy your readers somehow. We are all looking for new stories and, while this isn't "middle school friend wants to kill me because she thinks I was her archnemesis in the anime-astral-plane" levels of crazy, it's still crazy poo poo and I'm enjoying it.

One of my favourite porn stars makes that exact same noise when she is greedily gobbling the nob. I just hope next time I'm pounding my flounder that her head isn't replaced with a giant red dogs face in my mind.


That being said it was a great story.

But the giant red dog's face was the guy receiving, not giving!

My girlfriend's (male) cousin dated a girl a handful of years ago who decided to name herself Kali, after the goddess of destruction or whatever. The girl also renamed said cousin to Dante because special snowflake or whatever. The cousin is back to dating this girl, and she still goes by Kali when she's pushing 30. I feel embarrassed for her. Not sure if he's gone back to being ~Dante~ or not, because he doesn't speak to either me or my girlfriend.

The only real downside to him not speaking to us is that we don't hear all of the stupid poo poo that he is getting up to anymore.
