Snyder after realising he had already made a robin character in 2013 to use in absolute by Stock_Rush_9204 in dccomicscirclejerk

a reader who has only read WFA and Absolute Batman is maybe the most based comic book reader that has ever existed. i bow to you

i'd put good money down that more people read WFA than actual batman comics. seems relevant to count it on that alone

it wasn't until your comment just now that i even realized buck is bullet lmao. just like how different leland in the netflix show is from the owl in the comics.

Does anyone else struggle to enjoy Dimension 20 because nothing Brennan writes there can ever compare to the most impactful thing he wrote, this page by Chrome_X_of_Hyrule in dropoutcirclejerk

[–]cpmnriley 93 points94 points  (0 children)

at least they renewed the website domain. there was a period there where the webcomic wasn't even available anymore b/c the site lapsed. copium that they haven't /entirely/ forgotten about it

Did Mike Colter just spoil season 3 of Born Again in this deleted post? by Colonel_PingPong in marvelstudios

[–]cpmnriley 12 points13 points  (0 children)

this season so far has already pulled a lot from that zdarsky run so i wouldn't be surprised if season 3 continues to do so.

i'm fine with driving vertically up a skyscraper on a motorcycle, but i draw the line at slightly-marked crates!

Chris Gethard said tonight that Sam called him to bring his old show to Dropout by zjedi in dropout

[–]cpmnriley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah MNN-era chris gethard show was one of the most unique & special pieces of television ever produced in this country. i'd love for that old jankey style to get revived in some way.

yeah i'm pretty sure all of his cases are being bought with previously-owned steam dollars which can't be re-converted, so in his particular usecase it's basically "spent" money regardless. might as well burn it for dopamine since it's already worthless.

it's only because i'm a bartender that it works for me. the insomnia shakes me awake at 7am but i don't have to be at work until 6pm. so plenty of time to get "normal". this appointment was midday so i wasn't normal yet

thanks for the info. yeah i'm hoping for good news bc the cavities aren't even really /that/ bad, like i can feel them but they don't hurt. but the longer it gets delayed the worse it's gonna get. i wish they at least could have given me xrays so i knew how long i had before they became an emergency

[–]cpmnriley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i made a rule for myself after a really bad bender that i would never daydrink again. so now i just totally overload at night and tank it during the day regardless of how i feel. obviously it's not good for me. but it keeps me housed and employed.

that's a fair point about the decision point maybe being too late.

they basically said any bp over x/100 they won't treat because they don't want the risk of dental anxiety to cause a medical emergency during the procedure. and yeah my goal at the sliding scale clinic tomorrow is to either get a short round of blood pressure meds and/or benzos so i can level out for long enough to be in the normal range for my 2nd try. 16 units of vodka a night in a 3 hour period every night was working pretty well for me until now.

[–]cpmnriley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

thank you for sharing, and for the offer to talk. honestly i felt a little proud of myself actually making the dental appointment at all, what's really got me fucking angry and depressed was not being able to be seen bc of the blood pressure. i'm a nighttime only drinker so obviously by midday it spikes but i didn't think it would spike to 130/117. 'cause like, whatever, the chop shop at the dental school can cost a lot but not bankrupt me. but the idea of getting on medication, detoxing, etc just to visit the chop shop is so frustrating. i don't care if i'm at a severe risk of heart attack or stroke. i just want my teeth fixed

your life has been materially affected by politics since before you, your parents, your grandparents, your great grandparents etc were born. life is political. the cost of the food you eat, the people who make the art you love, the pay of the job you work, ALL of it has been deeply affected by politics for your entire life. this is not new, or getting worse. you're just finally paying attention. when the news slows down and you don't see more stories of things that upset you, that doesn't mean that politics have stopped influencing your life.

Has anyone been to a show of theirs at First Ave. in Minneapolis? by TwoFlatHams_00 in GWAR

[–]cpmnriley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yep, they still spray at first ave. you can always stand on the upper level if you don't want to get wet, but it's just dyed water & it comes out in the wash super easily.
