I think it's very natural to want justice in stories like this. Bummer endings can be very effective and memorable; but seeing an antagonist get away scot-free can feel like salt in the wound. When it comes to writing horror, I like to refer to The Twilight Zone. TV standards and practices were much more strict back when it was made, so they couldn't rely on gore or other modern horror tropes. The bummer twists and endings still manage to stick with you, but they don't leave you unsatisfied. When Burgess Meredith's glasses break at the end of Time Enough At Last, we feel how rough that situation is. The one thing that can bring him comfort in a nuclear apocalypse is just cruelly ripped away from him. There's no villain to be angry at, just an unfortunate twist of fate. But when there is an antagonist, they tend to get some kind of comeuppance. This story is very well-written, the same goes for pretty much all of Personalias's work, but the ending here and in Ersatz did kinda bug me. In Ersatz, the last chapter kinda felt like a "nyah-nyah, Gloria wins" by mentioning her anti-hypno glasses. Here, it really stings to see someone who wanted to help the world be brutally backstabbed and punished. Frank didn't necessarily need to win, but I just wanted to see Jolene lose in some way. As baby-crazy as Amazon society is, I think the research board would be a bit miffed at Jolene for turning the next medical breakthrough into the Lobotomizer 9000. Maybe they'd threaten to cut funding or end the project if she can't deliver on what Frank had been promising. She'd need her "baby" to help her, but her "baby" isn't talking. Frank isn't crying, or eating, or satisfying her sadistic delusion, what would be the point of trying to communicate if nobody can understand you? Time ticks down, Jolene gets desperate, she's failing as a researcher and failing as a "mommy". She made this bed, now she's going to sleep in it. Of course, that's just my own personal taste. -

When I was maybe 10 years old my mom made a hot dog casserole that I still love today. One box of macaroni twists, boiled and drained, one or two packages of hot dogs cut into round pieces, one package of frozen mixed vegetables, 2 or 3 cans of Campbells tomato soup (or mix soup and tomato sauce), 16 ounce carton of sour cream. Mix it all together in a big casserole dish, top with 8 ounces of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and bake it for an hour. I love it but haven't made it in a while since I'm not eating pasta and trying to cut carbs and my A1C. -

Hey thanks I started to see the point in having the correct amount of chargers and extra redundant ones. -

I still write a few checks myself, but I was just trying to be funny again! When Mikey said, "Check. One, two. Check" it was obviously he was sounding like someone testing a microphone at a concert or meeting to make sure it was on and working. It still boggles my mind how everyone takes things so serious. -

I've travelled with diapers in my bags through dozens and dozens of airports, predominantly in carryon bags, although aside from the "waiting for your luggage, which may or may not have accompanied you" part, I prefer to put diapers in checked bags, because if they need to eviscerate the bag, to satisfy their curiosity, it happens in the basement of the airport, rather than on a table in front of you, with 30 people standing around. My understanding of the training that TSA X-ray technicians undergo - and I stand to be corrected by anyone here with firsthand knowledge, mine is only secondhand - is that they can read scans like a jeweler can read a diamond through a loupe. They get tested periodically, both in terms of certification, and also with random tests while working. So, yeah, they know those are diapers, and not diapers stuffed with contraband, or folded shirts, or anything else. And they don't care what you have with you, as long as it's not illegal, and it doesn't endanger the aircraft, nor violate their requirements with respect to maximum quantities of liquids, etc. Even when my main bag is going into the luggage hold, I always have at least one diaper in my laptop bag, and I've never been asked about it. The diaper I'm wearing when I go through the people scanner, is a different story. Those experiences run the gamut from zero interaction on the topic, to molestation coupled with indecent exposure.
