Robin's prurient interest in Strike is something that always intrigued me from the beginning. Especially her discomfort knowing Strike spent the night with a super model. But that's not the start, the start is when she miscalculates that Strike successfully reconciled with Charlotte. Excerpt from CC:
Now, in the silence, watching the telephone, some of her anger at Matthew spilled over on to Strike. Where was he? What was he doing? Why was he acting up to Matthew’s accusations of irresponsibility? She was here, holding the fort, and he was presumably off chasing his ex-fiancée, and never mind their business…
… his business…
......
"Morning."
"Hi."
She accorded Strike a fleeting glance while continuing to type. He looked tired, unshaven and unnaturally well dressed. She was instantly confirmed in her view that he had attempted a reconciliation with Charlotte; by the looks of it, successfully*.* The next two sentences were pockmarked with typos.
Granted Robin was in a state, a row with Mathew overnight, Strike's absence when she got to office, but why thy jitters when she realized Strike might have made things up with Charlotte?
‘Is she stunning-looking in person?’ asked Robin with an unconvincing casualness as she folded the Standard.
‘Yeah, she is,’ said Strike, and he wondered whether it was his imagination that the three syllables sounded like a boast...
Robin made her selection at random and returned to her desk chair to eat. Her new hypothesis about Strike’s overnight whereabouts had eclipsed even her excitement over the progress of the case. It was going to be difficult to reconcile her view of him as a blighted romantic with the fact that he had just (it seemed incredible, and yet she had heard his pathetic attempt to conceal his pride) slept with a supermodel.
Robin got hooked.
I don't particularly remember any sexual interest between them during SW, but COE stretches it a bit.
During their stay at Travelodge:
She still felt strangely unsettled, knowing that she was sleeping five rooms away from Strike. That was Matthew’s fault, of course. If you sleep with him, we’re over for good.
Her unruly imagination suddenly presented her with the sound of a knock on the door, Strike inviting himself in on some slim pretext…
Don’t be ridiculous.
Robin blames Mathew for putting ideas in her head. but we know better.
For the next instance, she cannot blame Mathew.
“That’s her,” said Strike ... Robin watched the blo

I have never seen a question about a TV show on r/AskHistorians where they don't mention HBO or Netflix etc. in the title. On places that aren't heavily astrotufed such as /tv/ nobody talks like this, they just say the title of the show.

Really digging the dark techno driving beat, but his other harsh noise albums are too much for me. He's got a ton of records so there might be others like this buried in his catalogue but I haven't found em.
I also really like Blanck Mass, Fuck Buttons, Boards of Canada.
Businesses like ours are being left out from any government relief. Once the again our lifestyle and the people who drive it are left behind.
Directly from the SBD disaster relief application page:
"Applicant does not present live performances of a prurient sexual nature or derive directly or indirectly more than de minimis gross revenue through the sale of products or services, or the presentation of any depictions or displays, of a prurient sexual nature. "
Amazing right?
There is really nothing to say after a relapse, but I would like to attempt to say something nevertheless. What I have been doing the last six months hasn't really been working. I had one 60 day streak, but since then they have dwindled to a few 20s and now I am lucky if I reach the teens. The Your Brain on Porn viedos usually keeps me solid for a week after watching them, but I can only watch that so many times. Coming here helps as well, but then there are always those impulsive moments where I somehow convince myself that starting over won't be all that bad and then there will be sweet relief. And that is incredibly stupid because--and I admit this with hesitation since so many of you don't have this outlet (for lack of a better word at the moment)--I literally get to have sex almost every day with my wife. I think that is why I can usually make it to the teens but then around that time I want to be visually stimulated with something novel. Admitting that just now I realize how selfish that is because I do have a wonderful wife and sex life, but I grew up on porn and when I do not get that stimulation something inside of me seems to be withdrawing. Perhaps this is why that unfortunate cliche exists: that everything after "but" is bulls***. I suppose I must starve this desire for a bit of extra dopamine around the ten day mark and that I must go to extra lengths to make that happen. I don't like posting on here, but perhaps that will help--at least until I can overcome this and get a lot of time behind me. Perhaps it seems like doing this every now and then is no big deal but I make no mistake about it, this thing has and will kill me metaphorically: spiritually, creatively, my marriage, relationships, sense of self, confidence, perversity, hypofrontality, etc. Every time I relapse I take an extraordinary risk of perverting my mind and becoming a more regular user, and I believe that would destroy me like it has done in the past--which I can now see in retrospect.
Just listened to history of aids and loved it, any albums like it by anyone else?
