The original old comments before meme are gold :allears: The reviews of the comic and all that are great.

I love all the people getting caremad at people who call the comic bad. They get all "why are you unwilling to grapple with this brilliant work's depths" like the only reason to dislike it is stance on abortion. No dumbass, the writing is poo poo.

Seems pretty of arseholish to me. Like they're trying to say "hey, we're fun, we're having a laugh, no hard feelings right? We're still 100% deadly serious about this though, you definitely need to stop using those words that we own. But, like, in a fun way."

So what's your point? Are you, like, against trademarks as a legal concept?

That's not the angle in the news articles I've read though.

edit: like obviously I'm not the only internet person to think that but I haven't seen anyone in the news worried about that possibility

I'm sure there's a reason, like he doesn't work with infectious agents, but I haven't seen anyone say he doesn't

The CDC does a ton of work that doesn't involve loving with contagions in a lab, like planning and coordinating responses to outbreaks, putting together training material, and analyzing data gathered during outbreaks. It's not reasonable to assume, absent info to the contrary, that he had any contact with dangerous pathogens.

That's the kind of thing journalists would include if it were the case because it makes for a better story.

Them not specifying he didn't work with viruses most likely means they were assuming the reader knows what the CDC actually does.

Is he really that much of a victim in the book? I myself am horribly misshapen and shunned by the townsfolk, but I don't go around killing children.

It's a different story when you look at his depiction in pop culture though, yeah.

The whole point is that he starts out a blank slate and no one bothers to teach him how to be. You presumably had parents and friends and such. Literally everyone he trusts turns on him. His first experience is his own creator turning away in horror.

A significant amount of Heinlein brainspace seems to have been dedicated to justify his protagonists hooking up with children and/or relatives. 100% of this stories with time travel have this, and he wrote quite a few.

He basically made a hobby of creating seemingly obvious self insertion characters who were overlapping yet also mutually exclusive varieties of insane.

My first exposure was his fairly reasonable older stuff like Tunnel in the Sky and Citizen of the Galaxy. Then I found Starship Troopers, then Time Enough for Love. Basically imagine a thirteen year old laying in a hammock making the :pwn: face for days at a time. That summer owned.

Agreed. Established and newly cultured yeast strains for brewing are really picky about ideal conditions, and wild yeast/bacteria can gently caress up a batch easily. If the models were even involved rather than this being a publicity stunt, some creep used it as an excuse to molest underwear models and claim it was for science.

I suppose there's nothing truly wrong with Snopes debunking headlines from satire sites, but they should really just say "no it's a satire site you dummy" and move on instead of writing this whole big article about it.

They seem to pick out satire headlines that make the rounds on social media as if they were real.

It just occurred to me that there's no way these kids were old enough to remember 9 11, if they were even born yet. They have 0 emotional connection to this moment of silence and it's hilarious that anyone would think they would.

The moment of silence was never about 9/11. It was a way to allocate time for prayer in public schools. The concept started being pushed in the 80s.

8th grade is the third year of middle school. If it's 7-9 it's called a junior high school. A middle school is 6-8.

I went to a school with a big sign that says "middle school" out front. The sign is still there. I drove by it yesterday. The school was and still is 7th and 8th grades. Apparently the terminology is regional.

Police are trained to work their way up the scale of force step by step until they get their way. If barking orders doesn't work, the taser comes out. It also comes out if you piss the cop off, or if he got a new taser and hasn't gotten to use it yet.

i think smart casual is just a clever way to say "no black people" if you want it to be, otherwise its just a license for your doorman to harass anyone he feels like

In my experience even when it's not racist or fly by the seat of your pants capricious it's one of those things where even if you can find a group of people who agree it exists and agree that there's a single, standard definition they all disagree on what that definition actually is.
