IIRC being a prostitute isn't illegal in the UK.

Advertising the fact, standing in the street soliciting, living with another prostitute are all illegal. But straight up paying or accepting money in exchange for sex is fine.

Of course you would know that.

Are you implying Darkling is a Prostitute?


Anyway, help. Attempting to study for my trig regents, and all I can focus on is my stomach. It's been killing me since this morning. I eat, it doesn't go away. I don't eat, it doesn't go away. I take Antacid, Painkillers, Ranitidine, etc, to no avail. I even tried vomiting,  but I couldn't empty the stomach. I've been reduced to eating carrots because, well, I didn't eat Lunch or Dinner now.

EDIT:

Good god, again?

Hmm. That could be your appendix. You should seriously consider checking into urgent care.

I know when mine ruptured it started off feeling like it was a stomach issue, but gradually got worse. Nothing I took initially helped at all.

Woman at work is convinced that Sandy Hook was a government hoax. As in, she believes that absolutely nothing happened, and all of the stories are photomanipulations and lies.

Conservatives would have a fit if marriage was outlawed.

Yeah, go get that looked at.

Press on it. If it hurts, go get it looked at. If it doesn't hurt, let go. If it hurts when you let go, it's probably your appendix. (Rebound pain is a weird thing.)

Spoiler: Fun with psychology (click to show/hide)

Convince her that other things are government hoaxes too. Start with small, remote things that she can't verify, and work yourself up to the point that she gets Truman Show delusional. When you start getting asked about the reasons for why they made a world just for her, tell her that it's actually the year 4509 and that she's an ex-suicidal that got her memory wiped as an alternative to suicide (because suicide prevention is ethically questionable now) and is now hooked up to a virtual reality generated by a new kind of Bayesian AI as a performance test of generating reality in a way that is consistent with previously experienced sensations, as well as any possible remnants of her original memory. It's not perfect in that the AI has limited knowledge of her previous memories, so it had to come up with convincing excuses for resurfacings of her old memories, which is why it invented dreaming (real-life humans don't dream). The reason you are explaining all this to her is that the AI is in the final phase of testing, which it will only pass if, after all those years, she is still capable of rational thought, AND if the researchers directly controlling your words cannot convince her that she still lives in an illusion.

[MagmaMcFry]

At some point, also get some friends to bump into her over the course of the day and say things like 'wake up' 'it's an illusion' and so on. Then when she turns around, they are walking as if nothing happened.

I thought about that, but it wouldn't fit into my scenario, since there is no reason for such things to happen there.

[Neonivek]

Oddly enough... I think the TV Show that actually has the best overall music is Batman the animated series.

Why the WORLD isn't there a show that gets CLOSE to challenging that title?

I mean LEAGUES ahead of any competition.

It is to the point where only anime can compete and even then only the really great animes.

Dang it I want some quality new cartoons. Enough of these Comedies.

MIND YOU the worst shot ever probably goes to Batman show.

I saw someone unload a full clip from a Tommy Gun at Batman, who was standing still, and missed every shot. He actually got better at shooting when Batman got further away.

Sigh.. my mother watched a "documentary" on the Internet and now she's on about how Monsanto are using chemtrails to control the weather in order drive organic farmers out of business.

Now she wants me to watch it as well so I can have a "questioning mind" but I really don't feel like sitting through an hour and a half of conspiracy nuts droning on and on about their baseless claims.

[RedWarrior0]

To be fair, if any conspiracy theorists have a point about something not being right, it's either the JFK assassination theorists about the CIA being evil or the Monsanto theorists about Monsanto being evil.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Monsanto being evil is less a conspiracy theory and more undeniable fact, but the chemtrails thing is just ridiculous. Especially considering that there are many, many more completely legitimate criticisms to level at Monsanto.

Allow me to turn that confused grimace into an amused grimace.

Ask her to read a Farmer's Alimac

The accuracy of those things can be freeky!

But yes often you have to watch the stupidest things in order to tell people they are being stupid.

I still remember this HILLARIOUS video where they created a conspiracy theory based around Cellphones and what have you... In that "How can they be so cheap if they get their parts from all around the world?"

Heh, did they judge the cost of shipping them one by one?
