WTF?

[conuly]

Seriously, when did real life become like something out of a bad sci-fi movie? Please don't answer with such replies as "1984", thanks.

I need to stop reading the news. And to get out of this universe. Anybody making progress moving between parallel worlds? Maybe I can get a group of us, go someplace where sentience didn't evolve. Of course, we'd take plenty of domesticated animals, plants, not to mention ready-packaged supplies. And books, lots of books.

This is not the sort of thing one can coherently respond to at four in the morning.

It has even been suggested that the spray could be used as a therapy for trust-diminishing conditions, such as autism or some social phobias.

Wait. I thought people with ASDs are often characterized as naive and overly trusting? So this should help us be more likely to lose money to strangers and stuff, and this is a good thing?

I have what I guess you could call "trust issues", and I'm a social-phobic with some definite autistic tendencies, and if anyone ever tried to use something like that on me, I can guarantee that while it might possibly "work" in the short term, the long term reaction from it would be "never trust any bugger with a nasal spray".

If i have trust issues it is because life has taught me how people abuse trust. *snarls wiht incoherency* IT is most annoying that my jacobs ladder micorwave projector project is more of a death ray, less of a interdimensional portal generator.

You have to accept that along with hacking computers there will be those that hack meat. Figure out the virus checker for that and make a trillion dollars, guaranteed.

I cannot remember where I read it but there's something about nipples and that hormone. It makes men stay around women or something.

I can see it all now: Axe Oxytocin Body Spray; oxytocin replaces ecstasy as the rave drug; test cases in court -- will oxytocin be considered a date rape drug?; Republicans will condemn it and the DEA will make it Schedule II.

*shrug* All it is is oxytocin. Pregnant women walk around reeking of it and don't generally manage great feats of mind control.
