@Phorm complete with exaggerating the inciting incident as I can tell (well the pizza part anyway)

Oh and I have baaad news for a lot of em on what happens at "professional" conventions

@Doephin

Yeah, absolutely. For example: if anyone thinks that chemistry conventions don't involve ridiculously irresponsible amounts of drinking, and also fucking, they're in for a rude awakening.

I was further dismayed how quickly this all was leveraged to make bigoted arguments, too. Just makes me really sad.

@Phorm @Doephin Conventions are for wild sex hookups.

You can't convince me Shriners we're only doing it for the tiny cars and fez hats

@Phorm @Doephin

can confirm, some conventions I've had to go to for work even had an in room cash bar...
