Marco:
Sugestion for next week's poll:

Is Marten a new character or just one we haven't seen in awhile?

- I completely remember him and am definitely not lying.
- new character
- old character
- Ummm......hang on. Let me check the archives.
- Wasn't he one of the librarians introduced with Tai?
- No clue, tired man.

--- End quote ---
The second, of course; Millie can read her own manual and then follow up on any topics on the net at speeds far faster than Brun can comprehend a page.  Can't you just see them all tangled up together in a comfy chair somewhere with Brun quietly asking Millie the meaning of certain terms as they read across them?  Which unexpectedly for Brun leads to a make-out session? 
MmmmmmmMmmmMmmmmm (recursive).  4252

--- Quote from: Case on 17 Dec 2020, 08:53 ---P:S: If it were true that beauty, not gender, was the deciding factor that the veracity of your claim is desperately clinging to - then why restrict the claim to women in the first place? :psyduck:

Just checking - you need really explained why a beautiful woman benefits a lot more from her looks than a handsome man ? Just because I'm really surprised somebody needs that explained. Its like, super obvious in everyday life.

Thats because men, on average, care a lot about visuals, and thus care a lot about how beautiful a woman is. While women are more into other senses, namely touch and smell, and care more about factors like the wealth of a man. I've even met women who claim they dont care about how people look at all, though I have no way of testing if thats actually true.





--- Quote from: Gyrre on 17 Dec 2020, 15:46 ---Vile, yes. But I have actually met them.
They're misogynistic turds who usually still have the maturity of a 13 to 16 year-old, despite being well into their 20s, 30s, or 40s.

Err ... thats usually the people who have been like that between 13 and 16.

Because as a former 13 to 16 year old, I'm quite insulted that you sugggest I, and many others, would ever have been like that.

Sure, the sex drive is very strong at that age, and sure, one lacks experience with the opposite gender. That doesnt mean one doesnt want romance though. Or isnt into knightly ideals of honor.

--- End quote ---
So are smockers, unfortunately.

I'm a man and thus not potential prey for the people you describe. But theres surely a lot of people who think its okay to make me a passive smoker. I have very sensible lungs, cigarette smoke litereally hurts them, so I'm pretty angry at smockers.

So yeah, I didnt suggested you said it wasnt real.

Academic research suggests there’s more of a “beauty penalty” for women, because when they don’t live up the societal expectations of their gender (even when those expectations would make them worse at their job) they are penalized at a higher rate than similarly attractive men.

Torlek:
So does Northampton not have a public library and everybody just has to go the Smif library when they want to check out books?

Zebediah:
Northampton has a very good public library for a town its size but that’s not where Marten works so Jeph had to send them to Smif for that connection. Maybe Millefeuille is associated with Smif College and has borrowing rights?

Weird and probably irrelevant historical fact: Northampton’s public library contains the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Library.
