The last poll considered in that link occurred on March 2-4. So the results seem outdated in regards to the recent convictions.

So your advice is: 1) don’t pay it and 2) work and live in a different country. Super reasonable! /s

Men can criticize modern dating. Any gender can. I’m not saying you can’t. The final frame in this comic portrays strong anger at rejection which is never okay. Sadness? Sure. Disappointment? Understandable. Anger? No. The anger signifies that you feel that the other person owes you something.

I mean, sure, the girl in the comic is super insulting. But obviously what she said wouldn’t happen in real life. Overall, the comic just feels like a mythical scenario (which is completely cool for a comic) that’s embracing toxic nice guy mentality (less cool).

At the risk of overanalyzing a web comic, I feel it’s worth cautioning that this screams toxic nice guy syndrome.

Bloody damn pixie

Why? You’re disappointed with the explanation? Disagree with it? Or you don’t like its somewhat informal tone? I thought it was well written, enjoyed the information / humor, and can respect the explanation.

I appreciate the spirited response, but you’re misunderstanding things.

Arizona, like 14 other states in the U.S., allows its governors to appoint justices to its highest court but gives voters the opportunity to vote them out later on. In Arizona, the initial retention vote takes place two years after justices are appointed. If a justice is not voted out, they will face another retention vote every six years; if they are removed, the current governor is allowed to appoint a new person to the state Supreme Court, albeit from a list provided by a statewide judicial commission.

The previous post was merely attempting to specify how to “vote out” judges facing a retention vote.

Calculating the total number of hours that one sees their parents, and then dividing that total by 24 to determine the “number of days” they’ve spent with their parents is misleading and nonsensical. You yourself spend nearly every other day with your folks and, through your math, you’ve calculated that you’re “really only” spending 5% (1.6 years / 30 years) of your time with them. This reminds me of (though is not nearly as bad as) this “A Day Off” anti-time-off propaganda.

Edit: Grammar

The meat industry contributes to a significant amount of global carbon emissions (11-17% of global carbon emissions according to a few sources). The meat industry has been the primary reason for the Amazon rainforest’s deforestation. Industrial cow, pig, and fish farms are quite destructive/poisonous in whatever environment they’re in. The large amount of antibiotic misuse in meat farms is leading to super resistant bacteria. In multiple studies, a healthy vegan diet is has been shown to be better in multiple health metrics when compared to a healthy omnivore diet. And, finally, the meat industry is typically terrible for the life of animals involved, especially the large meat farms.

Overall, prolifers typically supporting the political parties that typically support the meat industry does suggest hypocrisy. I imagine that’s what the original commenter was suggesting.

White Lotus is what first came to mind for me. Left me on the edge of my seat. And during every episode I always felt like I KNEW what had / will happen, only to be debunked and on a completely new theory by the end of the next episode. Loved it and an looking forward to season 3.

Your texts are formatted much better than most. I’m not sure what concern you have with the spacing (what, is there an extra space after the pluses? Meh). Double texting is very common. You’re good, 8.

Not sure if it’d help, but you could stick a buuunch of camping, hiking, outdoors, etc. stickers on your van. Try to turn its image from a “ghetto” van to a “hippy / outdoor enthusiast” van. I imagine you can order large sticker packs online for very cheap.

Are you trying to making a connection between a bad / weak man and being gay? If so, that’s a shitty, inappropriate attempt at a joke.

In several of the parks, yes! Hell, getting drunk off of “drinks from around the world” at Walt Disney World’s EPCOT is a popular theme for adult guests nowadays. However, I’ll mention that Disneyland is still quite restrictive (though their neighboring park, California Adventure, is not and fully embrace alcohol sales).

Several of the global Disney parks besides California Adventure sell alcohol. Even in the original park, Disneyland, which has long had a nearly total ban on alcohol has relented and has started selling booze in limited venues (most notably, the Blue Bayou restaurant, which is a fantastic restaurant btw). Money talks, and booze is pretty good money.

You’d 100% be selling overpriced alcohol in an adult-centric theme park. If Six Flags and even Disney have figure out how to do it safely (and very profitably, I’m sure), so can other theme parks.

You can update the TVs settings to block these new large video ads. However, Amazon is getting more and more intrusive with its ads. I imagine that, similar to the Alexa Shows that I also use, every few weeks they’ll tweak the ads, making your previous “disable this” settings no longer applicable. It’s technically a new ad type, so they can auto enable it again. Super frustrating.

Largely in response to these new autoplay ads, I replaced my Fire TV with an LG TV. I’ve got another LG TV from only a few years ago that doesn’t really have ads. This one… does. Damn it. Don’t get me wrong, they’re much less in-your-face when compared to Amazon’s ads. But, damn, does everything just have to be ads now?

I love that the printed “24 pack” label on the top right serves as the “24” slot. Great reuse!

My wife has tried several bra brands. She landed on Branwyn merino wool bralettes, which she loves. Very comfy and great airflow. I’ll mention, she is smaller and prefers bralettes over more supportive bras, so your mileage might vary.
