The issue is that the vast majority of people don’t view religion as “what I should or shouldn’t do.” They view it as “what should and shouldn’t be done.” They can’t just follow the tenants themselves; in order to follow their religion - at least not the way they interpret it - they need to make sure the tenants are being universally followed. That’s why religion is always at odds with society as a whole unless that society is already overbearingly religious. It will never change unless there are no major groups within society with different beliefs than the norm.
Yeah, if I’d have destroyed something in a tantrum, I just wouldn’t have had that thing anymore. It didn’t even matter if we could afford a replacement or not - I wouldn’t get anything my parents couldn’t trust me with.


The books were great, but putting on an Eyewitness VHS and hearing that opening theme song is a core memory for me.


I just bought a new copy of that for my nephew for Christmas! Didn’t realize it’s been around for a while.
That one’s next on my list after I finish rewatching Chuck!
They’re not offering you 30% off a TV because they think you need it, they’re doing it because it benefits them, so they dress it up like it’s sometime you need so that you hopefully believe it. You only get what you need when you fight for it.
Elon doesn’t work, though, so he doesn’t deserve to be alive. It’s not about money, it’s about effort to contribute to society. My favorite saying is “community is uncomfortable,” because it portrays the work that it takes to be there for your fellow person. Even someone with a disability or other issue that prevents them from doing traditional work is already working plenty just to get through the day. Elon is the exact opposite of that.


I started making alarms for things a few years ago, and now I have alarms for everything. It’s great. I never have to worry about forgetting anything because at this point I make an alarm reflexively any time there’s a thing I need to remember in the future.


I didn’t even mind back when the best “play place” my family went to was a restaurant that had a couple arcade cabinets tucked away in a corner like this - something about this picture just feels far more isolated. I guess it’s just the empty hallway - the arcades were just a few feet away from a table at the old restaurant.


Looks like a McDonald’s play place, which has transformed from a big room full of tubes and ball pits to an empty hallway with 2 touchscreens and chairs.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. People generally hate learning things they’re not interested in, and one of the least interesting things for the average person is a fact that challenges their established world view.
My wife doesn’t understand why I always clean every dish/pot/utensil as soon as it’s done being used, even before I sit down to eat. If I leave even just a stray fork to be cleaned later, I’ll just keep stacking dirty things to be cleaned with it later until I run out of dishes, run out of room, or both.
“Character” was always just “beaten down to the point where they don’t talk back to their ‘betters.’”
While you’re right that the first time home buyer incentive does make it easier to afford a house than a lot of people realize (I bought my first house in January 2020 with a $10k down payment, and was easily able to stay on top of mortgage payments with a $40k/year salary), this is a comic, and the real issues of high housing prices and property scarcity due to private corporation buyouts are being exaggerated for comedic effect.


I traded my copy of Pokemon Fire Red with a bunch of legitimate shinies to my buddy for this game back in middle school. Worthwhile trade.


It’s an average, calculated as the cumulative increase in monthly costs compared to January 2025 from February 2025 through September 2025. So people in West Virginia are paying $425 more per month on average than they did in January, while people in Utah are paying $1,030 more per month on average than they did in January. The average increase across all states is about $700.
Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 after it came out that a white house intern, Monica Lewinsky, had been giving him blowjobs, and now this.
Women get too many compliments, men get too few. That’s why I steal compliments from women and give them to men. Nice tits, by the way.
