You said Doug is schizophrenic, and the show is autobiographical. So it's an autobiographical portrayal of the creator's experience with having schizophrenia. Maybe you want to be cute and not connect the dots so you can maintain plausible deniability when people tell you that you're ridiculous, but it's obvious that it's what you mean.

Or, you know, Doug's daydreams were a gimmick to pad out the script of a kids show

I'll admit that any exaggeration of the shittiness of Jim Jinkins is essentially framing a guilty man, but I still can't figure out why you've got such a hardon for this lovely show

Doug's fantasies are a maladaptive coping mechanism. He occasionally works out a solution to his problems through them but for the most part they're a means of escape until some unrelated event resolves them or he gives up and confronts his problems like a mature and rational person like he should have at the start.

Something I think is kind of dumb about the Predator franchise is the idea that their whole society revolves around hunting. Its one of those bad sci-fi tropes where humans can be all sorts of things but every alien species has a monoculture that revolves around one thing.

We're in the Predator's untamed wilds part of the universe. We've only seen hunters because they are the only ones who would bother to come out here.

It's like a deer saying that humans are a monoculture of hunters. The rest of the Predators just do their day job and dream of one day leaving their boring office, hopping in their uncle's old space junker and strapping on a shoulder cannon for an afternoon

I'll likely be in a typical high school "fight" soon. I found out a friend of mine had been making out with my then-girlfriend, so I texted him (obviously pretty pissed) that he should man up and either fight me or just let me have a few punches. I told him we'd be square after that and that my intent was not to beat him to pulp or anything ridiculous.. he said he would try to sue me.

I asked a few mutual friends what they thought I should do and they agreed I should kick his rear end. Given that Ive already said I am, I can't (and don't really want to) avoid it.

However he thinks we're cool and that I've gotten over it. How should I best go about this so that a judge would throw out his case? I don't think he still has my "lets fight" texts on his phone as it was a few months ago. What evidence he might have is that: his mom read my texts, and a number of people around town know that Ive expressed a desire to beat his rear end. I think it unlikely that he could convince anyone to testify, unless the court required it. Except for his mom.

Should there be witnesses present? I'm guessing there will have to be because it'd be creepy as hell to stalk him or some poo poo.. most likely he'll be with some of our mutual friends, and then I'll come by and tell him to come outside because we're gonna duke it out weather he likes it or not. I doubt it will be a very vicious or anything.. like I said just your typical squabble between two skinny 17 year olds.

Haha, I'm in highschool. Kicking a guy's rear end because he messed with your girl is a perfectly normal reaction, I'm not yet an adult and I'm not going to pretend that I am one.

I don't think I've ever met someone who wouldn't beat me up for making out with their girlfriend. You don't just pussy out and say "ah well the law states that he has no legal obligation to keep his lips away from ________, too bad."

I'll admit asking a bunch of Goons sitting at their computers answering stranger's questions was not a great way to get advice, but I figured one of you might have had enough experience in the real world to give a reasonable response.

I'm not pissed at the guy I'll probably shake his hand afterward, I'm just doing whats reasonable to get square. Of and I have nothing against the legal system and how it's set up, but a lawyer talking to me about "ethical obligations"?

Get your head's out of your asses, goddamn.

(oh and this is all hypothetical obviously)

You do know that a lot of the people in this thread are real people right? Not fat goons sitting at computers?

There are a several practicing attorneys, law graduates and law students. These are real people with varying degrees of real knowledge and experience (and everyone's usually good enough to give advice up to the level of their competency).

Also asking people for advice and then insulting their ethical conduct without knowing any of them is a kind of lovely thing to do.

wait no, I know the right answer:

Poor kid. The correct answer would have been to shove him in the hallway immediately after finding out, loudly proclaim why, and let the fight happen or not from there. These sorts of things wouldn't happen if they would just teach "Fight Etiquette" in grade school. I hope as he grew up and matured he figured out the civilized way to start fights with people.

Have I ever told you about the time I got my wife off with a fart?

About a month ago, I was hard asleep, and she was against my back, with the small of her back against my rear end. Well, I let a powerful one rip. We're talking busted speakers blasting party rap powerful. And it hit just right to activate the nerve highway in her spine. I'm completely oblivious and she's lying there in pure ecstasy when she tries to wake me up. I laughed and fell back asleep and she was pissed in the morning because wtf was that? Was I doing that on purpose? No, I am the ubergoon, and my farts are that powerful.

it requires less effort to have the timer set to an arbitrarily high number so that you can just press start, wait 1 minute, and then take the food out than it does to actually set the timer for 1 minute every time you're making something

this is basically what I do

My mind is completely boggled, how on earth is having a continuous timer that requires you to remember to check back on it easier than just hitting the 30-second button a couple times :psypop:

The microwave at my work does not have a 30 second timer. It also does not have the "fast cook" option where you just press 1 and it cooks for 1 minute. You have to type in the full number every time.

I get extremely slightly annoyed about this every time I have to reheat food, and then immediately forget about it because who gives a gently caress this is so goddamned minor.

Work microwaves are a different weird issue, they always seem to be the strangest oddball cases. But I've bought at least four microwaves in the last decade, and they've always had that functionality despite my shopping criteria being "the cheapest usable option".
