D'you use Firefox? 'Cause if you do, you can install NoScript (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/722) as an addon. It blocks scripts of all kinds on websites you haven't explicitly allowed. It takes a while to get up and running, while you go to various websites and tell it "this one's okay," but it's fantastic otherwise. Great security, and it blocks irritating Flash. Most websites that use Flash menus, if they can't load them (say, they're blocked), instead present you with a simple and ugly plain HTML menu. Some do this weird thing where everything contained in a menu is visually stacked right on top of one another instead, in which case you have to tell Noscript the site is allowed (temporarily, meaning just while this particular instance of FF is open) in order to even see what's going on on the page.

I don't know, believe, or much care in/about god/gods/etc., but I still say and write "oh my god" and "god dammit" and things like that. It's a word, everyone "has a right" to use it. (Whether or not it's socially acceptable in a given set of circumstances to use it is another question entirely.)

Also, even though I'll never remember the name, thank you for that TVtropes link. Exactly that was way early on in Dollhouse, and, uh....mmmm.

Also also, I hate you for including a TVtropes link. I've wasted an hour and I've still got about 15 TVtropes tabs open. Gah.
