What the hell sort of question is that? Of course I'd pay up! I have money, pride, and my teeth, and of the three, I can least afford to lose the last. Wouldn't almost anybody submit to the shakedown? That's how protection rackets work, after all - everybody does the same math and comes to the same conclusion as I just did.

(Of course, the context was "I think this company was rude to me over the phone, therefore I decided to live without hot water and heating because I have my principles" so, you know, I guess we have different approaches to life?)

CanCon, for the uninitiated in the ways of Canadian media, is Canadian Content, a percentage of which is mandated in Canada in much the same way Animaniacs used to have edutainment chunks, and for much the same reason -- the betterment of the public.

Noncon CanCon is when you're trying to avoid all mentions of That Show and it still crosses your social media feeds.

Dubcon CanCon is when it's Hudson Williams doing a photoshoot.

I am not going to throw a CanCon Consent Fest because I feel obligated to read everything people submit for fests I run and a) I don't wanna have to read fic for the gay hockey show and b) Noncon generally moves me in the direction of the back button. But if someone else throws a fest, I will write dubcon for at least two of my Canadian fandoms.

For today I have a self-rec of a fic I did centering Saki from Sukeban Deka that I feel fits into the prompt of "The Explorer".

Title: Whims of Youth
Fandom: Sukeban Deka
Pairing/Characters: Saki/Jin
Rating: T
Word count: 1466
Content Notes: Age Gap, Non-Consensual Kissing Initiated Via Saki, Canon-Typical Mentions of Teacher/Student Relationships, Teen Crush, Complicated Feelings, Developing Feelings, Introspection
Summary: This was a gamble. Saki didn’t know how Jin was going to react.

DEAR ABBY: It seems that everywhere I go, people expect tips. Yesterday, I pulled up to the drive-through at a cookie store, and before I paid or was handed my cookies, the clerk asked, "Would you like to leave a tip?" My niece recently told me that after she left a tip at a restaurant, the server followed her outside and asked if she hadn't been a very good server because the tip was small. I can give you more examples just from my family regarding their experience with tipping.

In this economy, I don't feel the 20% rule should apply. For the price of a lunch for two at a sit-down restaurant these days, the tip costs as much as a small entree. When I go through a drive-through, I don't feel I need to tip because I'm not inside using their facility. But if I don't, I get a disappointed look from the gal who gets paid to make and hand me my drink. What are your thoughts? -- TIPPED OUT IN IDAHO
