[Ed. Note: A new poll went up just a few days ago to decide "Book Club picks for Jan. and Feb. 2019" and I didn't want to interrupt that process. Further, our polls are limited to 8 choices and this submission had many more than that. Given the timeliness of the topic, I decided to run this as a story, instead. Have Fun!]

takyon: Changed to an <ol> since users are posting #s.

        That's not the first overt homosexual comment you've made on this site when you feel slighted. Hmmm...

          Don't forget his subconscious dominatrix side! Probably why he identifies as an attack helicopter.

    5. Wash my fucking car

    Ughh... I hate to think of your hygiene if you keep your sex toys dirty.

    7. Start making salads and sandwiches instead of eating out of bags and cans

    Necessary but not sufficient.
    You'll need to finish putting together those salads/sandwiches, then eat them.

    8. Shitpost on Soylentnews

    Improve your posts until they get to the 'shitty' quality level?
    Take care, overexertion may be dangerous.

    If you need help in C, let me know. I have resources for you. C's a good language. Well, except for the functions in string.h.

      I thought about using Substrings for our CVI code, but it being a large evil corporation with a lot of eyes on the code I would probably have to sanitize the license, banner, and comments. Does the unlicense permit that? Your code could be used to enable baby-killing weapons' systems!

        Yep, it should be fine. Unlicense is basically just a declaration of public domain. You can do whatever you like to SubStrings :^)
