Here I was, ready to call them out on stealing the joke from The Hangover, since I vaguely remember these comics from the same time period. (Matt’s comics are also my least favorite, and this one has a punchline more than just grabbing random women.) It turns out this strip came out 4 years before the movie.

And as time goes on and more dirt appears, you can do a cool layered look.

Yep. It’s why I try not to lean into anything too hard and get secondhand or minimal supplies. If she latches on, we can look at expanding, but that usually just fizzles out.

What a prick

It means when the government helps people that aren’t me or people I like, or fails to hurt the people I don’t like.

I’m already doing the thing. I do not wish to exert the effort to do the other thing. Fuck the ramifications.

How could this have happened?

I would think that removing the barriers to voting that affect younger voters is the better option, along with getting rid of the electoral college and allowing felons to vote. Taking away voting rights for certain classes of citizens is a slippery slope, especially when the root problem is some votes count more than others and many potential votes never make it to the polls.

it sucks when I get that wave of productivity and then I try to push myself like that every day and beat myself up when I don’t achieve it.

Oof, yeah kids can be a handful. It can be hard when they’re around because there is truly no “off” when they’re around. Plus children need attention. They will need you less as time goes on, at the cost of becoming mouthy pains in the ass.

The mess will still be about the same amount, but a different kind. (You remember how teen boys can be.)

I’m hoping that you’re just having a temporary rough time with the kids, but you actually like them and want them around. If so, rant away! The life of a parent has a lot of challenges. If not, I would cut your losses and move on. (And not date anyone else with minor children.) The children will know they’re not wanted, and it hurts them to know their stepdad doesn’t like them.

“b-but I was one of the good ones!”

I’m AFAB and no one has ever said anything when I went to the men’s room. Got a lot of weird looks. The men’s room is so quiet, save for the unabashed shitting going on in there. The ladies tend to wait until they’re alone before they drop a deuce.

Secondhand, Harbor Freight, and Ryobi is the way for most tools.

Better said than me. Noticed this type of thing even more blatant during my career progression in a male-dominated field.

I’m guessing you have the audacity to speak more directly and unapologetically. For example, if you were at the table and you needed the salt, a stereotypical polite man way to say it would be “Pass the salt, please.” And a stereotypical woman way might be “sorry, can you pass the salt, please?”

I’m not sure how deep this person’s thoughts go, but she might be expecting some more “squee,” cutesy or baby type phrases, said with a higher pitch instead of speaking with fewer qualifiers in a flatter tone.

Nah if I’m on hold for too long I just hang up unless I have no other alternative.

…am I in the minority where I don’t mind making calls all that much? I prefer doing things online, but sometimes a 5 minute call is easier than dragged out asynchronous correspondence.

The Torah is only the first five books of the Old Testament. Depending on what branch of Christianity you go by, the Old Testament contains 39-49 books. But that’s only a small nit.

I’ve never heard of that particular interpretation of the Abraham story, being raised Catholic. I also can’t find any sources that say that the Jews believe that the Abrahamic Covenant started as a joke between God and the angels, but then again my quick search might not have had the right keywords.

She is not a kind person if she is only kind when it is convenient for her.
