I will also wait to see more before jumping on the hate wagon. I have a lot of faith in Akiva Schaffer’s comedic sensibilities and directing skills.

Yeah, plus a 500 is the backend admitting it fucked up and not blaming the front end like a 4xx would be.

I’m not really a Dark Souls guy, so at first I thought this was about Hayao Miyazaki, cuz he likes big ladies too.

But see, that’s one of the things the Kinsey scale doesn’t really address. Is it really all that gay to be attracted to (as a man) someone that is presenting in a feminine way regardless of genitalia? I wouldn’t say it is. I know femboys and trans women are obviously different, but with regards to this question, you pretty quickly get into transphobic territory if you go around implying that it’s gay to like trans women or anyone else presenting feminine just because of genitalia. Or is the argument that since femboys identify as boys, that it’s automatically gay to have sex with them by definition?

I think the insurance company part was invented by this comic but I didn’t know a ton about Batman. I did see online that Wayne Medical is a subsidiary of Wayne Enterprises and operates many of the hospitals in Gotham.

True, the hospital could be doing the bare minimum to keep him alive. But I get what the person you’re relying to is saying. Surely if you’re a capitalist ghoul who runs both a health insurance company and a hospital, you would want as little overlap between customers as possible in order to maximize profits, right? The people paying you insurance premiums would ideally never get sick and require the insurance to pay out, and the hospital would ideally be full of people with other insurance plans.

+1 to this for my personal anecdotal experience as a cis man. If I’m wearing a suit or something, I might refer to something that is in my breast pocket, or if I was ever to wear armor for some cool reason, I might wear a breast plate, but I can’t think of any other situation where I would ever refer to that upper torso part of myself as a breast. But like everyone else is saying, you do you, dude.

And yet my friend, you bow to no one.

Some people say about Trump, “I like him because he’s brave enough to say what we’re all thinking”. I say that about this translator.

Oh man, I gotta go listen to some Vulfpeck.

Woof woof. Faster than fear!

I think whether I was a fruit or not, I wouldn’t want to operate with the assumption that I’m going to be eaten, so scientific categories all the way. As a human, I like to think of myself as a mammal/ape/homo sapien/whatever instead of wondering which parts of me are white meat vs dark meat.

Whenever I want to say something is cool, I have to complete the whole phase of “cool, alright. C-c-cool, alright, kick it.” But if I’m being sarcastic about the thing being cool, I will say the first part but then continue on to say “ki-ki-kicks my mom”.

Yeah, I saw one yesterday for the first time during football because I typically avoid all the classic sources of commercials, and it was just two dude bros who looked like they were making a podcast sitting around saying “Yo, I don’t want all my tax money being used to give prisoners sex change operations”. And I thought, “who on earth would this possible convince to vote for Trump who wasn’t already absolutely going to?”

So if and when we make that happen, and we have a society free of that stuff, do we think everything will always be perfect and free of conflict and no one will break the (hopefully much improved) laws? That seems unlikely, so we’ll need some kind of way of keeping the order, right? Will it not be the responsibility of a specific job? Will there be people with that job but we won’t call them any of the names we currently have for that general job category?

I personally really enjoy how David and the skeletons either can’t out won’t elaborate on the parts of their whole thing that the people are confused about. There’s just something funny to me about how it doesn’t seem like they’re intentionally being obtuse. They’ll gladly answer the vague question of “and the skeletons are…?” with the equally vague “part of it!” with a big smile, as though it was a perfectly fine and helpful answer.

Hey Wayne, did you ever find Bugs Bunny attractive when he put on a dress and played a girl bunny?

I still legitimately didn’t know what it means to not “be a feminist” with regards to sexual relations. Like, don’t treat her as an equal, so be a selfish lover who doesn’t care if she gets off as long as you do? Or more like the original post, don’t concern yourself with “feminist” concepts like consent and just start having sex with her without asking her if she wants to? Just be a caveman who takes what he wants, when he wants it? I know that there are plenty of women who are into that sort of thing, so no kink shaming, I justed wanted to be sure I knew what we were actually talking about.

To give the original question answer slightly more (probably unfounded) credit, there are a lot of people out there who know the basics of what inflation is, but also seem to have a fundamental assumption that in a “normal” economy, wages will also increase at the same pace as inflation, resulting in a net zero effect on a person’s buying power overall. Even though, yes, things are always getting a little more expensive in absolute terms, they don’t seem more expensive. So the answer to the question someone with those assumptions might have actually been trying to ask is that even if inflation returns to a “normal” rate, wages have remained stagnant for a long time and aren’t keeping pace with inflation like they used to, so now things actually are more expensive in a relative sense.

All the Simpsons fans out there know how great Zinc is.
