Do kids still go door to door selling cookies? I assumed cookie order forms just appeared at workplaces for a few weeks out of the year.

MechaCrash posted:Cartoons like these always piss me off, because it treats regulations as things that the mean ol' government does to poor plucky entrepreneurs just to be dicks, and not direct responses to ways in which business are loving people over. There should be an isolated area where we'd deport all the "regulations bad" people. There would be only two rules in that land: 1. they can't leave, and 2. they can't make rules. It'd be fun.

it's migraine inducing that these people can say the dems are throwing tantrums when repubs throwing huge tantrums and not doing their jobs is how they gained control of congress. i also cannot begin to fathom how people are happy the regulations are being rolled back it's not like the recession was forty years ago.

A HUNGRY MOUTH posted:Tell me you wouldn't pay a fraction of a penny to know that somewhere, fish are being made to use a little treadmill. That it's being done for a reason is just a bonus as far as I'm concerned The original "shrimp on a treadmill" study that conservatives love to whine about was a small portion of a larger study about the health of the aquatic populations in whatever body of water they were examining. The treadmill cost under $100 and was definitely worth every penny, shrimp need their exercise.

tyblazitar posted:Only when contrasted to other genders; English as a whole lacks genus and so you can't really say anything has it. It still has gendered pronouns such as he, she, it. Since pronouns can replace any noun, every noun can be replaced by one (or more) pronouns, and therefore every noun is actually gendered.

A good loving cartoon. Retromancer posted:I got 3 panels into this cartoon before I realized they weren't trying to do a Friday I'm in Love parody. Me too, I was thinking "well this just doesn't scan at all." Groovelord Neato posted:i also cannot begin to fathom how people are happy the regulations are being rolled back it's not like the recession was forty years ago. They believe that was triggered by the poor little banks being forced by the government to loan money to irresponsible black people who couldn't afford it. No, really.

Since I'm on a Gatis Sluka kick, here's some cartoons that I haven't seen here and made me laugh: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7There was one I can't find now which wasn't translated and looked like an inane "Ikea instructions are complicated" joke, but the expressions were so goofy I couldn't help but love it anyway. They were like "Oh man you're gonna love this" and "gently caress yes I'm gonna do so much sitting when I get this thing assembled!"

Cat Mattress posted:That's redundant. Yes, I remember how first and second person pronouns are gendered in English. That is why I have different forms of "you" when I speak to men and women. Also, grammatical gender is language internal, as in German, whereas what linguists call sexus has real world reference. This causes conflict in German where girl is neuter grammatically but feminine in real world meaning, leaving speakers with two viable third person singular pronouns.

Since pronouns can replace any noun, every noun can be replaced by one (or more) pronouns, and therefore every noun is actually gendered. So every noun is technically gendered, and technically 99.9% of nouns would receive a gender neutral pronoun, therefore ??? ????? ????????????? ????????????????????????????????
