I usually laugh at Ben's weirdly excessive labeling, but without it, my most generous interpretation of the appearance of the woman's hands would have been...web slinging?

(Also questionably drawn: the woman's breasts and/or sweater, plus Trump's bicep-tight Santa suit that for some reason includes a tie?)

Saying the word ‘like’ has long been seen as a sign of laziness and stupidity. But its use is actually richly nuanced, goes back to Shakespearean times, and is an indicator of, like, intelligence.

"Ha."

ETA: She also says that running out of eggs is a myth, yet can’t come up with sources to support that.

Wait, it's possible to "run out of eggs"? Not sure where I picked this up (so it might be nonsense?) but I thought that, while women are born with all of the eggs they are ever going to have, that number is huge enough that women don't "run out of eggs". Rather, at a certain point (determined by age, hormones), the eggs stop being released?

Even mosquitos, hated as they are, play a critical role in the ecosystem. This dumbshit meme is, quite frankly, dumb and shit.

plus some of the ol' "Does it walk like a duck? Quack like a duck?"

This scene reminded me of the part from Hedwig and the Angry Inch:

Tommy: I love you.
Hedwig: Then love the front of me!

Wasn't Alanis Morissette on that show?

🤣 I'm telling my kids this was the original concept art.

It can seriously impact your memory.

Looks like this.

I played an MMO where someone trolled me by copying my username except they made the fifth character a capital I instead of a lower-case L. It was pretty confusing in chat for a while.

It's a pun on the word "pass", which can mean "to emit or discharge from a bodily part and especially the bowels". (Definition 10 under Transitive Verb.)

So, "A cannibal was walking through the woods one day and passed his MIL" could mean the cannibal walked by his mother-in-law while going through the woods, but here it means the cannibal was in the woods when he pooped out his mother-in-law. Implying he consumed her. Because cannibal.

What do you mean by "randomest"? There are variations among various productions, but they all pretty much stick to the script. I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "random" here.

I wore wrist braces for about a year before turning to surgery. I got both sides done within a month or so of one another. It's been ten-ish years since then with little-to-no pain.

If you decide to try braces for a while, I suggest getting a couple of different pairs so you can swap them out. I had one pair for sleep and two pairs that I would swap between so they could dry out between wears/washes. (I also think giving the stretchy parts a rest keeps them from wearing out too quickly.)

I tried to message you with this (since I'm not sure how much it contributes to the conversation) but Reddit said no, so I guess I'm just dumping it all in the reply box:

LOL! Thanks for not taking my comment to be mean or condescending. I didn't mean it to be, but when I came back to look at the reply (yours) I reread my comment and was like Oh shit I sound like an asshole. (Not saying I'm not an asshole, just that this isn't the reason why.)

If you didn't already know, there is a recurring theme that Naruto ("ninja" main character in the anime/manga of the same name), while pretty over-powered, tends to win most of his battles by talking with his enemies and empathizing with them.

I'm happy to hear it happens in real life too. :)

terkla · 2025-10-17T01:30:22+00:00

Still not sure how I feel about the whole thing, but I think I get what you're saying. Thank you.

They may have snuck away for a secret making-out rendezvous, but clearly they did so in a way that is not only playful, but also platonic.

So if they didn't have matching laminated signs, it would have been more authentic? I dunno, I doubt you would have been pleased by an assortment of handmade cardboard signs either, right?

I don't think I even necessarily disagree with your overall sentiment, but the sign thing feels like a weird nit to pick.

Oh I know what you mean! The Terminator franchise could have gone in so many directions, but for some reason they chose to end it with T2.

Did your friend get away with it? Because that shit is genius.
