Rant 218 / Crichton Died

Here's a really weird idea. Say a relative of yours took photos of you naked when you were a little child. Nothing wrong there. But thirty years later when you have turned into a homosexual pedophile, somehow these photos come into your possession.

Would it be wrong to masturbate to them?

It'll be something like masturbating to a mirror, right? Except worse because of the element of pedophilia. Or is it?

Technically, it's not illegal to have nude photos of yourself even if they were photos of your very much younger self, unless you sell/give them out to others. But morally, it is quite debatable especially if you masturbate using them.

Tricky problem. I'd say it's not wrong except for the incredible amount of narcissism that you would need to have to do such a thing with full knowledge that it was yourself in those pics. Fuck, you're masturbating to yourself, if that's not narcissism nothing is.

But other than that, it might be morally wrong too since pedophilia is inherently "bad", and ditto for homosexuality for many people. Still, it's not that different from masturbating to your own image in a mirror. Is it wrong to do that? I don't see how it can be. Bordering madness, true, but wrong?













Food is a form of entertainment. Not only is eating fun, but so is the cooking process.

First, food can be played with like a toy.


Second, it can be a great time waster.


Third, sometimes it just looks plain funny.

What's there not to like?










Finally feeling irritated by the scorching heat of my keyboard, I finally decided to wipe the vents at the bottom of the laptop with a piece of wet tissue paper. And that was when I felt how it was really burning at the center ventilator. Probably the processor. Seeing that the tissue wasn't dusty, I folded the used side inwards (so that only the clean sides faced out) and placed it right under the vent (doesn't block because I placed something under my laptop to elevate it and give it more room for ventilation). Checked it an hour later and it was dry and warm. I threw it away and used a paper napkin, poured some water on it so that the whole piece was wet, and placed it under the vent.

Again, an hour was all it took to dry up and become warm. In fact, the area right under the vent was flatter than the rest of it, like it was ironed by the hot air blowing out of the vent. No wonder I got the Blue Screen of Doom so quickly. All that heat must have screwed something up inside.

From now on I'm leaving a piece of wet paper under the laptop whenever I remember.
