I mean in some levels though I would say… feet have always been something random in kids comedies as long as I know, and I can’t say that’s exclusively a nickelodian/snider thing. It was also the logo of Monty Python for starters.

That being said, of course Snider seems like a creep on so many levels

Question, does that mean 250 people were framed and went to jail. Or did the series go 250 episodes without a single satisfying bad guy catch.

You know, that makes me think of a really interesting spinoff, Imagine if someone made dexter, from the perspective of a non dexter character. (IE Oh I think we’re close to catching the serial killer, and… he’s vanished off the face of the earth… oh shit the murderer was one of our detectives… and he’s already dead. Oop another serial killer, and he’s gone.

To me ‘snitches get stitches’ means ‘don’t rat out the people you were doing the thing with because that makes you a traitor’.

Least people who do shitty things… don’t tend to make that distinction. It’s often used as a threat to bystanders and even victims. IE I took your lunch money, if you go to the teacher about it, we will beat you up.

If you are talking friends who participate, the implied violence would be unnecessary really. You roll on your friends when doing something against the rules, your friends will never include you in their activities again.

In defence that’s not a landline issue, that’s a god damn rotary phone. Touchtone phones were invented in 1963. So… people under 60 years old have likely never used them. I’m nearly 40, I’m pretty sure cordless phones were pretty standard in my house.

That being said, yeah even cordless phones, you’d surely know the basestation isn’t where the sound comes from. Though I’d imagine it’s probably just in ease of communicating the joke, as the focus is to make sure the reader isn’t mistaking it to be the girl speaking, as if you put it at the earpiece that’s still roughly where you’d put a speach bubble to represent the girl speaking without a phone.

There’s a lot that I would say that are just crazy to me when they become inherent by definition indoctrination.

Circumcision and childhood baptism also fall into those categories for me. Want to devote yourself to a religion have at it. but how the hell is it not a huge ass red flag to encourage the major changes and opinions at an age that clearly decisions can’t be made.

Baptism at least can be ignored… it’s a bath at worse, a sprinkle at best. But it’s still a facepalmingly stupid concept at best when the child clearly isn’t the one making the decision (obviously excluding when adults decide to be baptised, I have no objections there).

Same for teaching kids to pledge allegiance to a piece of cloth. Same for “teach them to love their country etc…”.

No you know what, teach them accurate history of their country, and of other countries. When they have understanding of it, let them compare, see what our country does good, did bad, with context of what other countries did that was good, and bad.

aren’t they supposed to look at the fully written out

“One hundred dollars 0/100” part of the check. Either way someone can slip in a 1 or a zero somewhere in the paper.

Honestly my only hope is… that the lone gunman suicidal “I want to go down in a way to be remembered” kinds of shooters. Learn from this, and consider shooting a wealthy CEO instead of a school or movie theatre etc…

I in no way want more violence… but I believe it would be nice if the “we can’t do anything about” violence, were more top of the power chain instead of bottom.

I’d assume it’s only a 1 shot joke for the comic (or only exists in very obscure alternate sources. Considering the mere existance of the flatbear is the punchline of the comic, it would be pretty damn lazy writing.

Though I’m sure at least a person or 2 made them in TTRPG campaigns via players using animate object, or necromancy/ressurection spells on bear rugs or cloaks.

tl;dr: they’re no longer pure and must be replaced with new virgin scissors.

Damn that’s a horrible punishment. (I’m at least assuming if fabric scissors are only to be used on cutting fabric).

I kinda think living in the real world is a bit of a pre-req. I don’t think the cooking anime quite counts there.

No it in fact is not. Selfishness causes any number of negative consequences - suffering, hostility, crime, conflict, rebellion, war, death… So it’s bludgeoningly obviously irrational, and therefore cannot be rational self interest.

for 99% of people yes. but if you happen to be at the very top of the ladder and if things are broken enough you can be self interested into destroying the world. Fact is the guillotines aren’t being rolled out. The protests that happen are pretty consistently swatted with barely a weeks hindrance to the years between them. We all suffer the consiquences of the olligarchy, the ones making the laws and decisions are largely above those hardships.

Can that jade PC play the classic game WOOD

Did that get saged into oblivion, I haven’t been on 4chan in ages. but it seemed like in 2016, the RP Trumpy jokes, drew the real far right, which eventually pushed everyone else out.

Pretty true, obviously most racist biggots don’t see themselves as racist biggots. They don’t see us as “open minded” they see us as close minded to their views.

So yeah that solves one fraction of the problem… IE bigger one being, a single mistake at one point in life, basically wrecks your ability to reform and become a productive citizen.

Yeah I would say more accurately, if you asked 100 people specifically about “have you ever heard of Mastadon, or Lemmy” you’ll get 99% “huh”.

if you ask the same people about crypto… I’d expect closer to 80-90% to have at least heard of crypto… Especially now that we have a president about to lead a crypto scam.

I mean, in terms of use… Name all the decentralized networks that the general public is aware of? Mastadon roughly 1 million active users, at a time when musk has let Xitter shit the bed to drop… to like 200 million users.

Meanwhile there’s a bitcoin option on every ATM I go to in every gas station. Fact is if you ask around the table at thanksgiving, unless you have a very nerdy family… odds are no one will be familiar with any web 3 items you name, other than crypto… and largely crypto will mostly only be known for it’s worse applications. A speculative gambling investment that is popular to use to buy illegal goods with.

doesn’t matter what anyone likes to argue, people are going to die and the only way to stop is to negotiate

OK agreed there, but question, what if the only negotiation the other side offers is “We take all your stuff and you serve us”.

It is

“Just stop being sad!”

There, fixed

Further have to say in fairness to the average american (which… apparently the average american voted for trump).

It’s not just the price of eggs… it’s basically everything… simply in anecdotal evidence, in the last few years, the price of all living essentials went up. Most people are experiencing their average grocery trip going up 50% or more… Rents skyrocketing etc…

and the democrats were bad at messaging. When things are hard, people blame the leaders, and Biden does get a lot of credit for, minimizing the damages covid did to our prices etc… Unfortunately the average american heard his response to it as “I did great, everything is good now”. Which didn’t work, because while things may be as good as they could be with the cards that fell… they are very far from good.

So yes, it’s lack of knowledge. Certainly the biggest point to be made is, trumps tariff plan is massively going to raise the price on everything, economist after economist has pointed out it will raise the price. But honestly I didn’t see much of attacking those plans in harris’s attack ads.
