I’m more surprised that this wasn’t the title for today’s strip. I don’t think I’ll be surprised if it’s not the title for the volume, but only because I have more going on in my life than your comments section people and I sincerely doubt I’ll remember saying this when the kickstarter happens.

But yeah, I’ve heard nothing but good things about Redclaw. Not a follower, but they seem cool.

Incapacitating *and* disqualifying. It has to be both. I can be persuaded on whether or not he’d still have a pulse, but those two conditions are absolute.

Does that mean journalism as a major is actually as useless as most humanities majors are commonly portrayed?

I’m not sure that there’s been an individual portrayed as this universally bad for a planet since Sephiroth.

So journalism school is an actual example of how any school at all is portrayed when counter-institutionalists talk about systemic indoctrination? Mostly because it’s an actual example of systemic indoctrination?

Of all the things legitimately wrong with US standards, this is possibly the least significant and easiest to adapt away and it is still breaking things.

Shoot, I was gonna guess Zadok the priest. You’re too good at this. Unless there’s actually some antediluvian named Ziusudra, in which case you are legitimately better than George Frideric Handel. Fucking Baroque ass bitch, making shit up…

Try popcorn. If you literally trim the fat, it’s an okay source of protein and fiber for a carb. Also invest in a pressure cooker. It’s not exactly fast, but it’s he actual prep is. Then you walk away until it’s done.

If you want to be a dick, ask which genocide or human rights violation they’d have supported when “none of them” is physically impossible.

I think the sentence fragment “Stalin worked with Mao, FDR, & Churchill to stop Hitler, Mussolini, & Tojo” kind of drives the point home when, by the standards in play, none of them would get a vote from the people addressed.

Not really. The plus kind of kills the flow. In fairness, it’s theoretically possible pan and ace people may have less drama, but nb and gf people definitely have more.

Oh good, you took my advice and hugged Echo. Glad you figured out which people have a bigger impact on your life and that it’s a much more fun discussion than it could have been.

And for the record, an actual apology would be “I’m sorry *I made* you feel that way.” Cue the quotes.
xwiry (@xwiry.bsky.social) reply parent
Family typically have a couple decades to earn a baseline amount of respect to be tolerable. Sounds like a lot of wasted time at this point. Go get a hug from Echo, see which person is having a bigger impact on you, and talk with her about why that is. Seems like it would be good for both of you.

And we learn something new about Asteria: she doesn’t sell crafted goods or she’d have already bought a house.

A California governor with good publicity and does some high profile good things while regularly shafting just about everyone and constantly talking about wanting to be president. Where have I heard that one before?
xwiry (@xwiry.bsky.social) reply parent
I’m certain this impacts how often they’ll say something like “why can’t other states be like California?” Absolutely no contradictions from them. No, sir.

So the part that makes it so different is that morals aside, Ebenezer Scrooge was generally known for consistency. Miserly consistency, but consistency nonetheless. Everyone would know how to process this: instantly call bullshit. What we wouldn’t know how to handle is if he stuck to one story.

And Trump’s name was usually a good indication not to get invested in something, but this part was clear. Old Epstein was as dead as a door-nail.
xwiry (@xwiry.bsky.social) reply parent
Epstein was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The register of his suicide was signed by the AG, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of the FBI, and the President. Trump signed it.

It’s not that he’s actually British, it’s just that Tolkien is translating the ancient mangascript for a British public to understand, identify with, and appreciate. Bakura’s actual accent was lost to time millennia ago.

Obvious innuendo pun aside, it’s possible that the species just has more going on and occupying their consciousness than just “traditional” activities. Also I hear that communication is a key trait when picking stamps now.

Edward is having “I’m a parent who already overthinks” thoughts. It’s fair that he’s having thoughts, it’s just gonna be a bit before he gets to questions he can’t explain away. Especially since he knows more than anyone with an on panel perspective.
