Or maybe oven mitts or falconry gloves. GOPers, however, may walk around naked and hang out in middle school girls' locker rooms.

to an entirely no touching society.

No handshakes, no hugging, no photos where daylight can not clearly be seen between each individual...no crowded buses or trains, only as many people as can have fully open space around them allowed. People who are larger than the norm no longer able to use public places as they might accidentally touch someone.

It really is the only way to be sure.

if you break up with that person or if someone else gets hold of it, you are automatically guilty, no matter how consensual it was at the time.

In fact, don't have any sort of physical contact with another human being without a notarized, witnessed, and very detailed contact expressing exactly what kind of contact is acceptable and then an affidavit signed after said contact (with notary and witnesses) to verify that the contact was precisely what was allowable under the contract.

And even then, you're probably just better off never touching another human being.

If we're better off never touching another human being and touching ourselves is a mortal sin, what am I supposed to do?

you might eventually explode.

But you will be pure. Unless someone anonymously says you touched them and then, well, you did it because anonymous accusations are always true, in all cases.

I took a long break and kinda let all that go out of my mind. I am sure that if I really want to check I could go through my list of ignored again but I think most of them were removed from even that list a long time ago. God that was awful. I stayed out of a lot of it, I simply was not cut out for that kind of battle.

And was told Al tried to kiss someone.

I said "on the cheek" or what?

How come his wife is not all pissed off.

I smell a ratfu*ing.

And we are falling for it.

Again.
