Is that wood patterning or does the bag contain a scalp?

Probable death beats the shit out of guaranteed death

“We’re in a simulation” is easily the most annoying new religion

I did, they were dreck. There’s no cure for tankism like reading theory written by their little tin gods.

“Opposing a dictatorship is bad if the connotations are problematic”

There doesn’t have to be tribalism, people just need to accept that systemd is a botnet

They did vote for genocide. Not voting is a vote. There’s no way out of it, they’re responsible just like republican voters.

It doesn’t matter, everyone who didn’t vote against Republicans has blood on their hands. You can never, ever get away from personal responsibility for the consequences of your actions. It doesn’t wash off. You can take your soapbox with you on the way out.

It really fucked me up when Dumbledore announced that house Slytherin would get one point for “every Irish papist who did not deserve to be killed by British muggle soldiers”, and continued “naturally, the score has not changed”. No idea how J.K. got away with that one.

“You’ve never messed with Santa Claus, have you?”

Http ruined the gophernet.

Not completely a joke

“And it’s not science fiction to project that within five years most economically valuable tasks will be performed by machines at a higher level of quality and lower cost than by humans.”

That is absolutely science fiction.

I expect morons to stay home whining that Democrats weren’t perfect enough and then complain voting doesn’t matter when they suffer under Republicans.

Fun fact from director Jerry Rees:

Okay, the flower. Here’s the way it went.

There’s the night in the thicket. Poor Blanky gets full of stickers and everyone is just cranky. Arguments all around, and the Radio drawing his own “zone” of privacy in the dirt that no one shall cross! And Blanky is feeling like the insecurity blanket even more than usual. He crawls to Lampy seeking snuggles. But Lampy calls him a fuzzball and tells him to get his own place to sleep. Blanky finally tries to snuggle with Toaster. But even the long-suffering, warm Toster is in no mood to cuddle with Blanky and pushes him away. Blanky is left all alone. Vulnerable and unprotected.

Next day in the meadow, there is mayhem. But amidst the mayhem is the flower. The flower is painted exactly the same yellow as Blanky, by the way. Like Blanky, it tries to snuggle with Toaster - the difference being that it sees its own reflection and falls in love with the “other” flower. There is no way Toaster can possibly help the flower. After trying to reason with it, then pushing it away, Toaster retreats, then peers back to see the vulnerable lonely flower wilt. Toaster is at a loss, there was no way to help…

The very next moment, Toaster sees Blanky being pulled down a hole by a bunch of mice. Immediately Toaster jumps to protect the vulnerable Blanky. Last night, Toaster had pushed him away. But now Toaster comes to the rescue - protecting it.

When Lampy teases Blanky, Toaster step up to protect him again.

Blanky returns the kindness by making himself into a tent for the group to use as shelter.

Later, Lampy has noticed that Toaster is being nice to Blanky and asks why.

Toaster does her best to explain. But underneath it all, seeing the vulnerable little yellow flower wilt when she shoved it away has made her feel like never shoving vulnerable little yellow Blanky away again. To keep Blanky safe. To keep Blanky from “wilting”. In the case of the flower, there was no way to help. In the case of the blanket, there is.

This use of two vulnerable characters - both painted the identical color - both seeking cuddles - both being pushed away - one wilting emotionally - one wilting literally - was an emotional path of change for the Toaster.

Also this meme format is trash

The biggest issue with that comic is someone being cold at 69°F. Your circulation is Fucked with a capital F if you’re cold at that temperature.

in the copy that I found, Nemi says “Tons” which is kindofa British way of saying things. For a while I had that at “Lots” which is more American

For what it’s worth, you have that backwards.

What’s up with the re-wording? Stylistic choice, or bringing it more in line with the feeling of the original Norwegian wording?
