Fairly broad coincidence, ain’t it?

Howard Beale posted:How dare you consider your parents ever thought about s-e-you-know-what My son went through a period where he would positively turn green whenever we'd (hardly ever) turn the conversation so he'd realize that his parents got it on. He even got super-annoyed at it. He's 29 & getting married soon. He just got over it. Sorta. If he ever really gets on my nerves I'll regale him with the tale of flipping his mattress after he moved out & finding a pile of condom wrappers.

Green Intern posted:I've noticed that April is apparently left unsupervised a lot of the time. Maybe these things wouldn't happen if that wasn't the case. I can attest that toddlers to two-year-olds, while not able to walk or stand with any fluency, are quite capable, when not observed even for a moment, of violating the speed-of-light rule and have arms that can extend up to five feet.

Because they have extracted their target, they should be leaving, but instead they are choosing to stay and kill people. Prison guards will not let an escapee go without some effort at tracking & stopping. Arguably, they’re sowing discouragement.

For whatever it was worth - and I've repeated this in this thread a few times - the only Dilbert comics I've seen for most of the past 25-years were in the page-a-day calendar, where this vile stuff seems to be curated out. Not sure how much of it leaked into the papers...so maybe that's part of the reason it hung on as long as it did. I remember when Johnny Hart was also funny, back in the 70s. Then he went down the born-again rabbit hole. Sad. Well, gently caress 'em.

Pmurt broke these folks - he made it OK to say the quiet part out loud. The problem is two-fold: only Pmurt could get away with it, and corporatists weren't quite sure how to deal with it because on the one hand, Pmurt was excellent publicity, and it took awhile for them to get hurt by these attitudes. Consequently, to some extent chuds could get away with being out about it because Pmurt, but now that he's marginalized, and businesses have seen how this kind of toxic radicalism hurts the bottom line more than the publicity helps, they're exposed & getting hit. There's two levels to our culture: the moment-to-moment internet news cycle, and the depths of actual societal attitudes. The first one is constantly in motion, and setting a narrative that the (our) world is going to hell. But on a deeper level, society is more liberal: it wants actual freedom and choices, and we are moving in the right direction - mostly at a glacial pace, fighting corporatism all the way, and with occasional backward steps - but we are. /end rant I'd be a bit apprehensive if these two were my batmen:

I am old enough to remember using these poles to open & close the extremely large windows in my elementary school building in the 60s. The high school also had these windows but they were upgraded in 1980. The windows were cantilevered - pulling on the latch at the top of the lower pane caused it to tilt in. And the bottom of the upper pane to tilt out, after which they could be swung out & parallel to one another; as the lower raised & the upper lowered they ultimately would hang stacked, with a large opening above & below. The cartoon is pretty accurate about the size. The window openings were 8-10 feet tall and easily three feet wide.

rannum posted:Mascot world (also the earlier thanksgiving Girls Day Out the moms and sister had that took place over the course of a morning & afternoon that involved going to like ancient tombs and stuff) probably didn't set people off not just because it was tighter paced but also probably because it involved less... everything. It as basically just the dad's misadventure. See also: No one really cares that every halloween a haunted doll fucks with the Forths (she even cameo'd a few weeks ago), or the two times Hil went into the past and met a forest giant that gave her a polaroid of her future. I remember reading Joe Matt's autobiographical novel, Peep Show, and he did a strip about how he got tired of drawing people in the same size format, and how he craved doing extreme close-ups with oversized portraiture. All artists need to have a change-up now & then.

His Divine Shadow posted:Jesus Christ just put her in a home. If ever there was a person qualified for ättestupa here's one. Having gone through five years of home care for my mother (dementia) I can tell you that, in eastern PA at least, it costs $5000-$6000/month for a decent place. And by decent, she wouldn't have been abused or neglected unto death. That's if she was willing to go, which she was not. Unless you have power of attorney, you can't force an aging parent into a home, and only a monster would do that. It is a very, very difficult situation, even without dementia.

Shop was able to vacuum out the injectors & fuel feeds, and flush the tank. It runs fine now.

I cannot thank you enough for all of the time and hard work (and creativity in translations!) that you put into this. I thoroughly enjoyed it all, and remain very impressed with the quality of the art and expositions (your final analysis notwithstanding). I remember from my childhood, young adult years Europe, that there is (was?) a fascination with the American West, and wonder if it has to do with Europeans/British Islanders presented with (as they saw it) virgin, untamed land, and how they responded to it - something none of them had seen for several dozen generations. I do remember that the treatment of First Peoples as ...regular people as remarkable, given the utter lack of same in the mainstream literature in the US, particularly as a boomer.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:On that same note: During covid, I watched the original 39 episodes of The Honeymooners, and one of the plots involved the Kramdens finally getting a phone installed in their apartment. They were pretty poor but you'd think home phones would have been pretty standard by 1955 or so. Homes, maybe. Apartments - not so much, especially in the housing crunch that followed the end of WWII, when landlords were in tall cotton...which did not encourage investment and innovation by landlords. Interesting sidenote: The Kramden's apartment looks as grim as it does because the set builders were all children & young adults during the Depression and modelled it on the tenements & cold-water flats they grew up in.
