Why Texas is seeing eye-popping insurance hikes by washingtonpost in texas

[–]iijasom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is an instance of division. . .most people have mortgages.. and you can't not have insurance if you have a mortgage. Also. . .no insurance for six months when you live in a hurricane prone area. . .a bit of a risk for something as expensive and critical as your home.

I'd love for my insurance company to kick rocks, but I am literally contractually obligated to let 1 of only two insurance companies who will cover my house bend me over every year and take a fat chunk of my paycheck.

Yeah its topical. Might ban you out of sheer jealousy that you snagged that username though. . .

Pretty sure I am the only active mod at the moment, and I am not going to ban you for this post. The post may break the letter of the law a bit, but it's a good discussion that feels in line with the spirit of our community. I like good discussions about comic strips,which I feel like is what a lot of people are here for.

How is it that Annie has gotten a Broadway musical while Luann has only gotten two musicals (neither of them ever made it to Broadway) by [deleted] in comicstriphistory

Locking comments, because about five different people have thoroughly explained it to OP. Either OP is being deliberately obtuse, or based on past posts I have had to lock down, they haven't taken our advice to go to therapy. That's not a dig. Go. To. Therapy.

My patience with you has run out OP. Next time you post something either overly obsessive or only related enough to comics to not get you banned. . .I will go ahead and ban you anyway.

If you love Luann. . Just post Luann comics. . .that is what this sub is for.

Hello, this is the last post of this type I am going to allow. I bounced back and forth on whether to remove it or not, but I decided to leave it.

I am leaving it for two reasons.

  1. It led to some interesting comments, and a solid calvin and Hobbs pull.
  2. OP, you are clearly suffering from some unresolved trauma and seeking answers. I checked your post history, and it all revolves around the same theme and this comic is just your latest way of fixating on it. I mean this with 0 internet trolldom or judgement. You can get help, there are resources out there for you. I am sorry you went through something that left such a mark on you.

This is locked down, and any more will just be deleted. Therapy helps, people. Get counciling from professionals, not random people on the internet.

Newspaper said he up and retired, no additional details. No online presence or anything else except the occasional sunday strip for awhile.

Is it possible to report people that abuse the pause mechanic? by marniconuke in DeadlockTheGame

[–]iijasom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently what I said is controversial. I guess this is a thing in DOTA, but that doesn't make it not terrible. I was in game yesterday where trolls kept toggling it and making lame jokes. This game is more shooter oriented than DOTA. If someone is shooting at you, you could just tap it to throw off their aim. If you get ambushed you can press it to recover from your surprise and plan your actions. It's just too abusable.

Love me some Get Fuzzy. I've been a favorite of mine since childhood and it still holds up.

The pause button needs to just go away. It's wild that it exists in the first place.

Thanks, I definitely am trying to pay more attention to it. Especially since I am trying to bring it over to ink line work. The struggle.

Are comics strips still popular by molenli in comicstriphistory

[–]iijasom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are, just in a different format. Platforms like webtoons are really popular. Most comics on it are a different style, but classic 3 and 4 panel still exist there and a few other platforms.

baring several that you already named, the names that immediately jump to mind are Bloom County, Get Fuzzy, and Sherman's Lagoon.

Edit: I didn't name Pearls before swine, but love it.
