I tried to find a good word for the opposite of "nonsense." Just "sense" isn't exactly an opposite, you see, and there don't seem to be any precise antonyms. So I tried "esnesnon," but that just seemed backward. I tried reversing the prefix, but just got nonsense again.

By this time my nonsense was multiplying, and it all came to nothing. I tried dividing it again, but still had nothing. In frustration, I tried dividing the nonsense by the nothing and the universe crashed.

And I just noticed I used "a bit" twice in two sentences. Oh well.

It's why we get along so well. Aria and I are both so reserved and understated...

Edit: I totally apologize to anyone who may have just spit out their beverage all over their comms terminal.

I hear the products are beneficial to morale and help reduce psychological stress.
Ah, I wouldn't mind to try them then.
Do we have any volunteer to show Ms. Kim how to use the devices?
\o. Reporting for duty.

Idk. about Ms. Kim but there is another person in this thread I'd love to show my devices to.
Also keeping a special place in the corpse container.

Depends on what topic you were aiming at. If you're discussing your devices, it probably is though.

Too many rumours to print, obviously. At least the rumours accurately reflect my own innocent nature.

What devices have you got?

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

Today we learn that the attack on Reschard V, a mostly agricultural colony with no military presence or tactical value, with a population of some 100 million inhabitants, is not an example of genocide.

The planet being rendered uninhabitable, with only 2000 survivors recovered, a survival rate of less than 1 in 50,000, for no discernible reason, does not count as an act of genocide or planet-poisoning.

Well, wasn't that informative ?

Wait wait wait. How comes it isn't genocide?!

Do you know what is sarcasm?

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

Thank you for posting here, Mme. Rhiannon. It reminded me I was tempted to post something off-topic in reponse to something you posted a little while back:

The regular stuff you would find on a carrier converted into a bdsm club. Slaves, chains, whips, power drills, stasis pods that keep people awake... and more.

I find that your selection of devices has room for improvement.

Yes, if we accept Arrendis's beliefs. But that means it's madness to act like it should be otherwise. Try as you might, it won't be. We'll still be a mix of kindness and cruelty-- and disregard. People are people, and they'll keep being people.

Possibly the greatest single monster of our world is a person who couldn't live with that, and decided to make us "better."

By that logic, Aria, all laws are monstrous. People are going to murder, steal, commit assaults of all kinds upon one another, so why should we try to compel people not to?

We'll always be a mixture of kindness and cruelty. Some offenses, though, we don't tolerate. 'God said to' is just as much bullshit as 'the fedo told me to do it'.

Of course, I've seen plenty of people post at permanently docked-up enemies like they were trying to kill them with sheer condescension. Very rarely does it feel like they might actually succeed. Chapeau.
