Are you serious? Well odds are someone amongst us is dating. Teenagers are hormonal heathens after all.

Good to hear. And I'm okay. Got my medicine. I'm kind of baffled about Ghost though, he's still out of it and I know they're treating him pretty aggressively.
......i'm beginning to doubt the reliability of this device.

...i'm in no way involved, and have no intention of getting involved. he was the one who mentioned naked people first; i was simply trying to help him handle the situation.

i hope that clarifies things for you. also, no romantic feelings are involved from my end.
[for the record, Peter. don't you know libel is illegal?]
You don't have to understand it. You just have to anticipate it. There's a lot of sick people in the world, and there's a lot of rightly embittered ones too.

We're now in a position where we and anyone around us is going to be a target. And it blows because we don't even have a solid reason yet for why the CDC wants us to do this but we're not having much of a choice with that either.

Yeah. I'm kind of worried about what they're going to try to deem a "weakness." We're exempt for now but I'm a little worried about the guys that have to go through it.

I don't like feeling so helpless to it. But there really isn't any other way. I'd rather focus on the small differences I can make for people back home.

Still, I think there can be strength even in weakness. It's human to be weak, we're not tools or machines. Before anything else, a soldier should be human.
clearly i mean how could you make such an egregious mistake, never threading with u again
I said yes too but you have to admit, their recruiting services kind of box you in.

But it's good that you're okay and you're learning. I never said ordinary people can't do it, I just meant that it's harder when you don't have a precedence.

But if you ever need help with anything, I know I'm a total stranger but don't be afraid to ask.
