Jesus. This was me in university. I eventually just gave up studying, attended classes, took horrendous notes and somehow graduated. Then again, a BA in journalism involves a poo poo-ton of writing & almost no exams.

Did that woman time travel from the 20th century or something? Otherwise she lives in a society with lizard people and people with far worse injuries and clunky looking cybernetics that look a lot more scary than a guy with bandages. Also I've wondered why Emi gets human looking cybernetics and others have to go around looking like metal monsters. It's not like she's rich.

I don't think it's supposed to be "yikes, injured guy", I think it's supposed to be "oh poo poo it's that guy who hosed the crime boss's wife, better not go near him!" (which is what he then says in the next panel)

I coasted along through elementary school and high school getting high grades just by listening to classes and doing the minimum amount of homework. Then suddenly that didn't fly at university level anymore, and I basically wasted three years getting bad grades until I finally knuckled down, learned how to study and forced myself to do the work and graduated with very high grades. It was seriously one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Some time later I was diagnosed with ADHD and a lot of things started making sense.

Shaman Tank Spec posted:Linn might want to get herself checked out for ADHD. Interesting how many things I've been seeing in the past year that have made me think "oh hey that person's experience that led to them getting diagnosed with ADHD as an adult sounds exactly like my life." Hmm. Darthemed posted:Docks I remember mocking this ad on these very forums. I can't believe that was this long ago now. Cowslips Warren posted:As much as I love Val, I'd like him to see how this Christianity thing has worked out over the years. readingatwork posted:Yeah this particular aspect of PV really hasn’t aged well. It’s bad enough on it’s own terms but also obfuscates the fact that the historical version of this would have been incredibly violent. Yeah, I don't mind Val going off to Rome to recruit missionaries or whatever, but actively smashing idols is a little too direct for me. It's not like the pagans are doing anything wrong here. Even their burning down the church in the strip below is just a response to Val's vandalism. His Divine Shadow posted:There was also no christianization of scandinavia going in the 400s, Val is like half a millennia early here. I suppose Val's efforts didn't take, then!

Breaking Cat News Phoebe and Her Unicorn  Wallace the Brave  Heart of the City  Okay, here's a Heart worth complaining about. There is no joke, there is no anything, it is just story setup and basically not even that. It's not even half a conversation, it's the opener of a conversation (that comes out of nowhere when I thought we were ramping up the MtG story?) Similar to Georgia Dunn's webcomic problem, this doesn't feel like a newspaper comic, it feels like Steenz basically made a Heart of the City graphic novel and is just releasing three panels at a time, rather than each individualized strip being its own thing that also works in service of the greater story. EDIT: Reading again, I guess ordering book six on the day book five comes out is sort of a joke? But like, people do that. If you're sure there's gonna be a book six, you might do that. It's not a very good joke, I'm saying. Curtis  Honestly if Billingsley were smarter I'd say this is a good commentary on how fragile and fake our entire economic system is, but he's not. This is just "what if there was a downside to everyone having food?" It's like he's trying to write a djinn fable or a Twilight Zone episode where every request comes with an ironic unforeseen side effect, but his good thing was "solving world hunger", so he has to convince us that's bad somehow. What's really getting me is that, let's say Billingsley's right and somehow the salad bowls would put all farmers and grocery stores out of business somehow. That sucks for them, they will need to get new jobs. Fortunately for them, they don't have to worry about eating, because again, they can get magic free salad like everyone else in the world. Also does the city have its own significant agricultural economy? If this is a nationwide economic crisis, why are they being summoned to the Mayor, and not like, Congress, or the United Nations? Billingsley retire bitch. Vargo fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Sep 1, 2022 |

Let's start with something I completely forgot about yesterday, because OOW caught up with one of my favorite bits of extracurricular listening when it comes to mulling over the old days and the times: the complete broadcast day of WJSV Washington, DC (or the zip-filed version with a lot of supporting documents). Content warning because "the usual issues" pop up in multiple places. Mutts  Sally Forth  Skippy (November 10, 1934)  Peanuts (September 4, 1975)  Funky Winkerbean, in which the five people the universe revolves around talk about that whole left-out feeling.  And speaking of "being excluded from things", hey, Les? Where's your wife, buddy? Crankshaft, in which I guess the station's just been sending out dead air all this time all this time while these goobers have been futzing around.  Mutt and Jeff  Rip Haywire  Thimble Theater (April 3, 1939)  Out Our Way (September 25-27, 1939)
