It’s interesting how some things have changed over the years when it comes to chat rooms. And how other things haven’t. When I first started in The Palace the internet was new, and chat rooms were for shut-ins, agoraphobes, and nerds. We basically lived on the internet. So it made sense to some to treat the room as a place you entered and left.

This whole fucking thing is fucked.

We’ve discovered the breaking point of paradise. Hope the next sentient species is a little less selfish.

Kid gloves are the only size that fit him

She just means she doesn’t give a shit if people think she’s biased or corrupt.

I thought it said antique and didn’t question that, either.

They see what they want to see.
