It gets better. It definitely repeats itself a bit.

However it has some real stuff and goddamn nobody can make me laugh like John DiMaggio.

He does this sound when his mind breaks. It’s awful but also had me in tears laughing.

Matt Groening has mom issues.

Dagmar from Disenchantment is in the same vein.

For context, this was done in Albera not long ago.

Calgary, after decades of agitation by anti-fluoridators, removed fluoride from the water.

10 years later, they brought it back.

Yes, there IS such a thing as too much fluoride. Technically you can die from an overdose of WATER. That dangerous H2O substance can kill you if you ingest too much. Not a joke, water intoxication or water poisoning is real. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/water-intoxication

Point is, fluoride is certain doses is safe and highly effective in preventing tooth decay. There are literally decades of studies.

Can confirm. Texas sucks

The US has it entire arm up the arse of the South Korean army and government.

I don’t even play games and this makes me want to learn how to copy and distribute their crap on general principle.

Their cutsie characters can’t mask an abhorrent, corporate beast.

What did Klitschko say in 2014 when the US sponsored a color revolution?

Legit consider getting a sleep study!

I got diagnosed narcoleptic in my late 40s. I always assumed it was the cartoon version of narcolepsy.

Yes, those people exist. But like anything else, there are degrees. I have fallen asleep in work meetings, rock concerts, movies, driving in traffic, and somehow narcolepsy never crossed my mind.

If you can quickly fall asleep in any sound environment, that is definitely unusual (and also extremely familiar).

A friend gave me a mint planter when I told them I was terrible with plants.

I planted it and it died. He was dumbfounded.

What’s the opposite of a green thumb?

Zhang is 2 time ufc champion and has even fought IN CHINA.

If the government is giving this guy a hard time, it isn’t for doing mixed martial arts.

I’m almost finished reading it. So far, it’s the best translation of the Odyssey that I’ve ever read. The language is more accessible and modern and it flows and reads much more like a novel.

I minored in classic civ in college and have read 2 other versions of the Odyssey previously. She did a great job.

Yep! We fled Lebanon during the war. I live in the US, but have been back a few times since.

Are you Druze? If so, we may be related 🤣

Marhaba! My family is in Abey and Abadiyeh. My cousins are ok as of yesterday.

So glad to hear you are safe habibi. Thank you for sharing.

I have watched it off and on since it first aired and I can’t remember ever seeing Trump. In fairness I haven’t watched much the last couple years.

Mr. Garrison isn’t Trump, no matter how much they nod and wink.

Obama wasn’t portrayed by another character and neither was Bush and neither was Clinton.

Did they ever actually show Trump? Or was it bs Garrison as Trump?

Looked out of curiosity and seems the answer is no. Also, they literally said they were scared to make fun of him.

They’re such wusses.

During W’s reign they used kid gloves. Always been like that with conservatives.

Dogs eat cat poop like it’s candy

Why is something as vital if not more vital than US Mail left to scummy private companies?

We’re well into the 21st century. Many businesses will direct you to their website when you call in.

Having affordable internet access is not a luxury it’s a necessity.

It’s petty third world mindset to allow these rent seekers to continue to profit off of awful service. Especially when they actively seek to block municipalities from setting up their own ISPs.

I honestly would get one if I could afford it.

It is significantly more. I mean, it’s one of those things that isn’t that much more in the scheme of things, but when you’re scrambling to replace a roof, it’s a lot.

I paid $8k for a new roof a few years back. I got estimates. Metal would have been about twice as much.

Hard to justify when a decent shingle lasts 15-20 years.

You literally cannot imagine the doses of oxytocin and dopamine when your kid looks you in the eyes and smiles for the first time. All the wonderful moments are like a goddamn fix.

It’s literally the only reason (most) parents don’t murder their kids when they’re being shitty little assholes.

But seriously, you simply don’t realize how heady a hit of emotional bonding-feel good cocktail it is until it happens to you.

And this is coming from someone who spent half the 90s candy flipping.
