Has anyone, anywhere, ever claimed to be offended by the word Christmas? Not instructed employees to say happy holidays, not disallowed nativity scenes in secular institutions, but straight up responded to someone using the word Christmas with "I'd rather you didn't say that word?"

I hate "ask" as a noun, and its been around since Beowulf.

If you use ask as a noun in front of RodShaft, you're going to get your "ask" icked.

This cartoon is more fun if you imagine that the setting is somewhere in Afghanistan and there's a random American standing there talking and no one listening has any idea why he's there or what he's talking about.

Exactly, "I know it's a big ask, but could you..." "My ask of you is to..." I hear daily.

It was REALLY big in corporate speak a couple years ago, and there's a lot of stragglers still using it.

I won't crack open a can of Ask Ick on ya. I'll just cringe internally whenever I hear it, knowing in the my depths that you've siphoned a bit of my soul to grease the cogs of the corporate machine.

Like, Vegancomics is insane by insisting there's a universal moral standard about eating meat, but I still want to ask these people exactly what the difference between a dog and a pig is that's so bad. But then I realize that there's no difference between "My cultural norms" and "Undeniably right" to republicans.

The proposition that there is a moral standards about it is not "insane," it's just something you disagree with which is fine. That doesn't mean it's insane.

The thing that's "insane" about vegankomix is the horrible way it's delivered, the fake "scientific" made up poo poo, the procession of strawpeople, and the artist's total lack of self awareness.

But your point about pig vs dog is on point. It's fine if someone doesn't want to eat dog because they have too many happy memories with a dog and just personally don't want to, but it's very hypocritical to insist that it's "wrong" to eat dog.
