Yeah, there's a couple near me, but i live in the hipster capital of the southwest (ok, a little south of it.) So, know your type I guess.

One of them is attached to a bar/live music venue/go-kart track/laser-tag arena, etc.

To join the chorus saying 'yes' there is one in the mall about an hour from me. It is a dire unhappy little place, but it does exist.

How come there hasn't been some social app that lets you set your own theme song and have it play on other people's phones when you walk in the room? I'm patenting this idea right now, by the way, so don't get any ideas.

Chuck E Cheeses are still around I think. The one near me really sucked for games last time I was there though. Until a couple years ago there was one at a mall in my town, but I don't think it survived the remodeling.

I love the Moomins, but the comic strip seems to really lean heavily into the plot structure where some devilish figure of caricatured rationality tries to dissuade the Moomin family from leading a slovenly but luxurious life of leisure without any visible means of subsistence.

This depiction of the moomins, or moomin mama in particular isn't how I'm used to her to be honest. She's always been portrayed as a hard working housekeeper who has the answers to everything from food to illnesses.

My husband was telling me about one of his students. She's really talented and picks things up quickly but has been starting to slack. She told him she has a new (older and out of college) boyfriend and she has to spend every night at his house or he gets upset and she can't really do her homework at her house. Even though she's only 19 its totally "twu wuvvv" that she's throwing her college career / potential future employment away for.

There's no way the man in orange shirt isn't a a caricature of a friend of Jarla with the way he's drawn. In all likelihood the man in the flashback panel is also a caricature of a younger him. Some day I'm going to threaten Jarla with a dagger and make him confess.
