There sure has been an outpouring of hatred towards trophy hunting in general. I wonder if it will actually make a dent in its practice and legality?

As long as macho culture exists then no it isn't going to go away. This is especially true when people can find it socially acceptable to just go "lol stupid sissy liberals" and discount it as jealous whining. See, having the head of a dangerous animal on your wall is manly because you killed a dangerous animal! Never mind that you did it with a piece of equipment that the animal doesn't even understand. From a distance. In a place where you paid to have a trophy animal literally handed to you.

Trophy hunting is really idiotic right now because it's basically just rich pricks that want to stoke their own egos paying to have their trophy just handed to them.

You give her $3, let her punch some numbers on a keypad, and give you three pennies. The only reason you would give extra pennies is if you want to feel smug when the cashier is confused at receiving such an unusual amount of money.

Sorry, this isn't like UK cartoonists where they actually draw the painting. Plagiarism is cool if the artist is dead, right?

I had to go look at the cartoon on GoComics and then read the comments to figure it out, but it's because Tom Brady said he couldn't make his phone available to investigators because he destroyed it when he bought a new one. The reference is appropriate because Dali painted The Persistence of Memory because he loved destroying clocks.

The dentist story is silly since the legitimate reason people should be outraged- that very wealthy people have cart blanche to ignore the law- is not part of the story at all. Most people are unaware of why they are outraged other than an animal they think is cute or noble was slain.

I think it's pretty simple: in 2014, Republican and Tea Party candidates promised the voters everything they ever wanted from the GOP: fight Obamacare, Immigration, everything. And they won! So, obviously, it can't be that their relentlessly antagonistic, crowd-pleasing tactics simply don't work for a deliberative body--it's the goddamn RINOs gleefully supporting Obama's every move! Lee and Cruz's recent efforts to defund Planned Parenthood failed to gain any traction because they are antagonistic assholes, but Branco and the base would much rather blame everyone else than admit they've got the wrong ideas on governing.

Nah, it's perfectly reasonable to give change. A lot of cashiers prefer have more pennies so the next time they have to break a twenty they have change available. Have you never had a cashier ask if you have exact change so they don't have to give away all their sweet pennies? The problem with this scenario is not the duck's actions, but the STDH response from the cashier.

According to one of my lecturers at uni, "Death to X" is more or less how the Middle East phrases what, in most English-speaking countries, would be "gently caress X."

People in the west read "Death to X" and they see it as this giant proclamation of how X must die. In context, that makes about as much sense as reading "gently caress X" and thinking 'why does that guy want to have sex with X?'

Reminds me of when Roberts voted against SSM and Muir did a strip about how Roberts cross-dresses (because he is a pathetic sissy who must have voted for SSM, you see).

E: It's actually a pretty obvious AGC: people who oppose SSM are obviously in the closet themselves. (Yes, yes, I know cross-dressers are not necessarily gay/trans.)

There's a lot of speculation that Harper will start our official election campaign super early, as early even as this weekend. The reason for this is that the longer the election campaign officially is, the higher the limits are on election spending. The Conservatives have way more money than the other parties, so the longer the campaign, the more likely their enormous war chest will play a decisive role. Starting the campaign also puts strict limits on third party spending so those dastardly unions won't advertise against the Conservatives.

If you're American and confused by concepts like limits on third party advertising and campaign spending limits that politicians literally go to jail for violating, well, yeah we have those.

Evangelical voters care about two things: ending abortion and stopping gays from marrying. Smart Republicans have figured out that actually doing anything to stop gay marriage is a guaranteed loser; so they're going to scream nonstop about abortion instead.

I think it's less him trying to condense change and more of the rear end in a top hat "I already punched in the nunbers and now you're trying to hand me more money." which even simple math slows you down and jobs do keep track of a cashier's speed. Also, it's common way of scamming cashiers, as noted earlier.

Basically Tinsley's being a dick.

Doing something like giving $5.13 to pay for something that's $4.13 so you can get back a whole dollar is pretty normal, but you really shouldn't get mad at cashiers for being bad at math or whatever. It's pretty much the lowest form bullying outside of picking on kids at the special olympics.

More pennies means more pennies to count at the end of the day. the problem with the scenario is that it involves Tinsley whose petty nature is blowing up what would be at most a mild annoyance to someone else. And that's as true for cashiers as it is customers. Sometimes it's great to get extra pennies and sometimes it's not. People who use it as an opportunity to lord their arithmetic skills over someone who didn't even know they were playing the game is an rear end in a top hat.
