"Those damned 5 year olds piss me off so bad... #5,209"
Totally a thing you want the public face of your company on record as saying,

"There are lots of mature 15 year olds... Well, he's *MORE* mature then he used to be. #5,435"
What did you do- no, I don't want to know.

"I also hate jerk rear end little five year olds who sit in back of you and yell out the names of the Pokemon when they appear. #19,176"
I also hate it when children act like children when watching children's movies.

"And technically, she's not *my* three year old... I just kidnapped her. #20,108"
Oh, that wacky :lesnick: and his antics.

"<Trelane> Sometimes I envy the Japanese. Like, I bet their Ramen is much better than the crappy Ramen we have here. Also, the radiation from Nagasaki and Hiroshima will one day result in the creation of Nipponese Supermen
<LOAF> And they get to have sex with thirteen year olds all the time. Instead of once or twice a month. #21,244"
I'm really starting to regret doing a search on the word "year."

"Huzzah, downloaded the first episode of Pokemon Advanced Generation. Hehe, this is so great. May is pretty hot for a ten year old. #21,520"
For fucks sake.

Like, the idea that, as a kid, learning about HTML, the internet, etc. you have a cringy website is basically par for the course. You have a website that, lacking a holistic skillset, looks like hot garbage and, lacking content, just stands to catalog the dumb poo poo you say/do with your friends, all that makes sense. The website stays live because you forgot about it and bought a 10 year hosting package 7 years ago because it wasn't that expensive, and it was worth not having to go through the headache of resubscribing every year.

But to have that website resurface when you're an adult, and for you to continue to endorse the weird/creepy poo poo you did and leave it in public for all the view, and tell people to visit it.

You know what the best part of a guy randomly sniping people is? Stores and stuff are empty! I went to the mall and the movies and to dinner and there was nobody anywhere. #19073


Random sniping is actually pretty great... it's like a big snow day
, except stores stay open. There's like nobody at the mall and stuff. And there's probably less of a risk of dying than if you drive around when it's all icy. #19088

Campus is pretty abandoned today... random snipings continue to keep people at home. #19100

It's too bad he was a sniper... Lee Malvo has the best name ever. Hitler was a pretty good name before it got ruined, too. #19578

In defense of dingos, babies are pretty delicious. #19617

Fetuses are probably pretty tasty. #20814

I broke my brothers head once. They had to staple it closed. I threw him into a chair. He started screaming and screaming, but my parents wouldn't believe him. Then he took a bath and the water turned all red. So they took him to the hospital. #20821

When I was a kid I told my other brother to jump off the back steps of my house. Which are about a story above ground. And he did it. I'm very pursuasive ;-) #20822

When my grandfather died, we discovered that he kept 12 loaded guns under his mattress. I'm not really sure what he was waiting for, but it would have been neat if it had happened. #20823

If they don't, then they're going to see a lot of people unexpectedly leaving. If this is tolerated out of nepotism, CIG might as well get some bright neon signs fashioned for their LA spaceship mural and rustic furnishings break room that read "Toxic Workplace".

The Dysfunction Junction of CIG LA is odious enough but now it's radioactive. I mean, how does Ben EVER go on RtV again?

I'm sorry -- I have a low opinion of CIG but self-preservation of the Diarchy has always been job 1. They won't circle the wagons for Ben and he'd be wise to save them the awkward conversations and tears. If they do otherwise, then look for departures from Foundry and CIG to accelerate. We've crossed the Rubicon-- options formerly available are foreclosed now, and inaction is a choice that will bring direr consequences than it has previously.

I believe the bolded is 100% correct (although I think in Sandi's instance, her self-preservation will come absolutely before CR's and if her ego hasn't superceded her low animal cunning she'll be out soon) - I think the question for them is if letting Ben go accomplishes that goal better than keeping him around to be The Fall Guy because letting him out now will leave a pretty high chance that he'll tell everyone where the bodies are buried.

If all this is true, tho, then if the media really does a full broadside on CIG because of this (and I don't see how they could pass up an opportunity like this), then its public-facing reputation will finally be solidified as scum to anyone that has not yet had any experience with it.

If they were willing to fire him, or at least shuffle him out of sight and out of mind, this might be mitigated, but if CR or his lawyer writes another autistic, rage-filled letter to try and defend him, like they did with the Escapist,...then seriously, CIG will get crucified definitively.

In short, I'm all set for this to be a full-out nuclear apocalypse!
