Good Listener posted:My parents' house has a door in the bathroom you can open up with a laundry chute to the basement. It's not really a metal one though, it's almost like a long wooden fenced in box with a floor about 4 feet above the floor itself. Sometimes the cat would go into it and you'd hear her meow from down there. My house was made in the late 80s and I have a laundry chute under my master bathroom sink. It’s not very useful. Sooner or later I’m gonna alter it to be a safe at the top and shelving at the bottom.

Sooner or later I’m gonna alter it to be a safe at the top and shelving at the bottom. The house I grew up in (50s construction, maybe?) had a laundry chute from the upstairs to the basement. It wasn't terribly useful. I think we mostly just carried baskets of dirty clothes down the stairs (or shoved them, and they hopefully slid down like a sled rather than tumbling and spilling clothes everywhere). The laundry chute came in handy when, as a teenager, I used it to run ethernet from my bedroom down to the DSL modem.

Though, I got curious and checked it out, and I got a detail wrong. It wasn't actually a bar he wanted to work in, it was his aunt's diner/pool hall:

As they noted at SoSF, this is a flashback to 2017 (in which the company's name is indeed spelled differently):   That said, Batiuk does seem to enjoy establishing characters as humorously incompetent, then deciding that they also need to be rewarded, causing him to pretend that actually they've been hypercompetent all along.

Cheer Up Boss Dharma The actual play on words in the original Korean is the wind is burning. While looking quite straightforward in English, literally translated the husband is making reference to wind, not burning. So of course I had to alter his dialog accordingly.

Strontium posted:Intelligent Life All right, this pacing is driving me insane. I only just now realized Gwen was describing Mike and not Barry because her non-compliments are so uselessly vague they can't describe anyone. There is like, one joke here, and Reddick is actively avoiding using it. "So what's this mystery man like?" "He's loyal to his friends, financially secure, and has a unique look." "What's the catch?" "He has two friends, lives with his mom so he can spend money on toys, and is prematurely bald." "Fine. I'll take it." Now, "Mike goes on a date with Gwen's friend" is, by contrast, a premise that could at least last a week or two. So what I'm saying is, take us to the drat fireworks factory already Reddick!

I generally don't think "Those Were The Days" is being as malicious as people think and it's just simple "Boy things are different than how they used to be!" observation humor. Maybe I'm being too generous to it but it doesn't really stand out as being mean-spirited to me. That being said I'm surprised everyone ignored the one about how UFOs are real from a couple days ago. Also, Crankshaft ignoring Covid for over a year, and now making jokes about it as if people aren't still dying from it, is amazing. I know it's not gaslighting but is this gaslighting?

Some Guy TT posted:take us to the drat fireworks factory already Reddick! Speaking of arcs, Finch Marketing, the workplace of Skip, Gwen, Betty and Barry, was given 60 more days before being demolished and turned into a dump on January 8th 2020. The purpose of that arc was presumably to reintroduce Stalker Sarah, who hasn't been seen since February 14th 2020. And the arc that led to the start of Skip & Gwen's relationship also involved Gwen not knowing who she was hooking up with, and it lasted 5 MONTHS and the strip was daily at the time. (I've summarized the dating arc into five weeks worth of strips. Part 1 and Part 2. Enjoy.) And I'll bet anything that Reddick has forgotten that Betty and Mike met during a halloween arc in 2016.  So what I'm saying is Strap in, summer children.

Also, whenever Dinkle does his open-mouthed smirk, it looks so offputting. It's like he's stretching his mouth beyond what humans are capable of. somepartsareme posted:Also, Crankshaft ignoring Covid for over a year, and now making jokes about it as if people aren't still dying from it, is amazing. I know it's not gaslighting but is this gaslighting? If by gas, you mean it smells like a complete fart, then yes. Huh, I thought it was only Safe Havens where a character discovers knowledge regarding DNA that could completely change the world yet holds back on telling it for arbitrary reasons.
