Infrequent Miscellanea

you're an antique rover abandoned by the galactic empire who originally deployed you to a remote moon but now a princess from an opposing polity is stranded here too so to bound you show her old cave art you discovered in the moon's lava tubes....

if I still identified as a woman, most half-decent people would at least hesitate a moment before calling me whiny, hysterical, bitchy, probably on my period, incapable of deeper thought, lying about being sexually assaulted, only good for cooking, cleaning and spreading my legs. but now that I'm a man it's like the gloves are off. they're GIDDY with excitement to see who can call me a cunt the fastest. it's "fair game" to hit me now, because now the target looks different, looks like he needs humbling, and so they have a free pass to commit a social taboo.

The dog robots are supposed to be autonomous, threehalves is explicitly only for being piloted by a human. The giant horns make it difficult for this machine to enter through doorways, and that is the point. Coupled with the built-in weak points, it is very easy to disable this thing, so it can't be used by the police or the military effectively.

Two people do not decide that they are "courting". One person decides to "court" someone else. It's an action, not a stage in the relationship. A man decides to court a woman because he wants to encourage her to have romantic interest in him. He's trying to win her favor. It's not an exclusive relationship--a woman could be courted by multiple men at once. She'll spend time getting to know the guy who's interested in her, but they won't officially define their relationship as one where they only show romantic interest in each other. If they reach a point where they want it to be exclusive, that's when you propose.

bizarrely, America has in many ways gotten more conservative about dating since World War II.

Some of that was the rise of the Moral Majority in the late 1970s, but it was really in the 1980s, when heterosexuals realized that they could get AIDS, too, that the open attitude toward sex that was so common in the 1970s slammed shut. That's when the idea that sexual activity was "dirty" -- as in, literally disease-ridden -- broke out of the religious right and returned to the cultural mainstream.

And yes, there's a difference between dating and sex, but it didn't take long for "dating more than one person" to be considered a sign of implied promiscuity and moral laxity.
