@Thassem, you don't want to go to space?
I was voluntarily sterilized when I was six because I didn’t want to be tempted to unethically have children. It was the correct decision given the information I had when I made it.

Contact me privately if you are a yellow in Oyand or Orvara looking for a swap into a country that might be allowed FTL.
My residency in Vidalet won’t do me any good. Once my roommates leave I won’t have anything tying me here. I might as well help someone else.
The mods of this blog have discussed recent events and decided not to comment until the results of the test are known.
Moderator Iustitia, Mod Thassem, which would you like best: magically waking up as a purple, a grey, or an orange? Which would you like worst?
Mod Thassem:
I would most want to be purple. There are more jobs purples can do from home than greys or oranges.
Grey and orange would be about equally bad. If I were orange I’d end up clumsily attempting to teach some sort of online course. If I were grey I suppose I could do statistical analysis of some sport.
Moderator Iustitia:
Grey would probably be the best of those options, for me; military history is fascinating. I doubt I’d be particularly suited to orange, and purple has enough flexibility that I could make something work.
The main benefit of any of these scenarios would be the ability to use my accrued savings to purchase a child credit, rather than relying on the paltry chance I have of receiving a permission.

Hey Mod Thassem! Please comment Adrift’s and Seacircle’s children! :D
The following sentence has been on the about for more than a year:
Please stop asking me to comment on Adrift’s and Seacircle’s children.
You probably think you’re very clever. You’re wrong.
It’s always a relief when spring is over. Regretting decisions that were absolutely correct is such an unpleasant feeling.
