D’awww

I hate to say it, but I absolutely guarantee the law will do nothing but show up afterwards and pick up the pieces. If he does decide to get his fat ass off the couch and come get you, you’ll have to handle him yourself.

My grandmother too.

Every time the pockets-in-pants thing comes up:

Women in the comments: OMG yes please what we have now sucks

Men in the comments: well acktually…

Or, hot take, a company that sells clothes with pockets makes less money than a company that sells clothes without pockets and then offers ladies $50-150 purses to compensate. If you think the fashion industry hasn’t noticed that, you’re crazy.

It’s like how the American auto industry noticed they could make more money selling big vehicles and so all of them just stopped making smaller cars. Plenty of Americans say they want smaller cars, but the American auto makers don’t care.

No, it’s definitely a thing, and trends more in clothes geared to older women. When I shopped at Forever 21 back when I was in my 20s, I was a size 4-6; when I shopped at REI I was a size 4. When I shopped at Chicos, on the other hand, which caters almost exclusively to older women, I was a size 0. And sometimes even that was too big on me.

They want us to all go back to saying things like ‘she’s in a delicate condition’ and shit lol

‘Sharpedo Pokémon’ works too

“All right,” said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need… fantasies to make life bearable.”

REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.

“Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—”

YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.

“So we can believe the big ones?”

YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.

“They’re not the same at all!”

YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME…SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.

“Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point—”

MY POINT EXACTLY.

-Sir Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Technically a viola is actually a mini cello. I hope his knowledge of bash & zsh is better than his knowledge of musical instruments lol

Then why are you everywhere in the comments making all kinds of effort to complain about the artist and the message you see in their work?

Seems if we all agree this sort of thing happens to women, now and again, then we have nothing to argue over.

Well yes. But that twat was all up in the ‘not all men!’ and ‘women do bad stuff too!’ so I just opted to make it more gender-neutral so they wouldn’t derail the conversation with inanities again.

The problem is they found new ones lol. Anything but actually discussing the core issues and their personal issues, I guess.

No, they didn’t? This literally happens?

Where in the comic does it say ‘all men do this’? Because that seems to be your interpretation.

It seems you’re projecting quite a lot onto this comic for some reason, and you’re driven to fight to prove your interpretation of the comic isn’t true. You might want to do some introspection and think about why that is.

She’s not interested.

I’m assuming you identify/present male? If so, she is afraid of openly rejecting a man. There’s an old ‘joke’ that would be funnier if it was less true: men are afraid women will laugh at them; women are afraid men will kill them.

Trust me, you would get a lot more than ‘thanks’ if she was in to you.

It seems more like you’re the one deliberately making a bad-faith argument by feigning ignorance of the meaning of the question, but what the heck, I’ll bite.

In case you didn’t know, the statement about bear vs stranger is simple: both could be dangerous. But the bear you know at a distance is dangerous, and bears are rather more predictable than humans. The stranger, on the other hand, is far less predictable, and you don’t know if they’re safe or dangerous until you get close.

After all, she/he could be crazy and carrying a gun, and you don’t need to be a speedy 600lb killing machine to be deadly with one of those.

And that is why women chose the bear.

I like Pratchett’s take. The Tooth Fairy of the Discworld takes the baby teeth and hides them in his domain because pieces of a person can be used for sympathetic magic, like cursing someone, and he wants to protect the kids from that.

I admit I find it amusing, given what 6x7 is

Yeah, but you have to factor in the rabid Christian belief that she’s an eternal virgin. So they have to make up all kinds of complicated explanations for how any siblings could exist.

(According to official doctrine they were either cousins or children of Joseph’s from a previous marriage)

Wow, how old is he?

Sandy looks so good! She’s a natural in front of the camera ;)
