So I guess you could say the response was… swift

Bah, I’m not going to either of those dumps. But thanks for the info!

What’s the name of this webcomic?

Mine right now (sorted by recent):

• Ad for local flooring installer
• Sponsored ad for power company
• “Hey, everyone. 👋 I’m Shawn. Hello!”
• Ad for local home remodeling
• User giving away a cat
• Sponsored ad for garage doors
• Another user welcome message
• Found pet alert from local animal shelter
• Sponsored ad for bathroom showers
• Ad for local bathroom remodeling
• Ad for local handyman service

So when it’s not ranty freakouts it’s 85% ads.

Fun fact: the Fallout series has 73% more toilet skeletons than any other game franchise, according to the Environmental Storytelling Toilet Skeletons’ Workers Union, which is an organization I just made up.

This is my experience with every fourth post on the Nextdoor app.

Dare I ask, why? I mean obviously meth addicts aren’t known for their shrewd decisions in general, but is there some sensory or cognitive change in particular that compels them to put foreign objects in their butts more than say, alcoholics would?

Yeah I feel like 80% of Norwegian is just mutated German.

e.g. Tier --> dyr (animal)

Día de los Muertos, because of the amazing art at the very least. Plus, who wouldn’t want a second Halloween of sorts? (I know the reasons to celebrate are very different)

Also, Earth Day and Arbor Day, because our trees and planet are awesome.

women aren’t on the way to the house but I don’t know what to do with it but I think they are definitely going to be a good person and I will be able to get a new one in the morning

Huh.

Some insects are attracted to light sources, but not mosquitos. They seek out the things our bayou friend already mentioned.

No. Testicles, though lacking the raw strength of Muscles or the courage of elder Uncles, would not be separated from steadfast Principles. Though many tried to insult him with nicknames like “Tubercles” or “Microparticles”, those could never stick like they did to poor Treacles or restrain his vigor like heavy Manacles.

Tired of senseless Debacles, he studied scholarly Articles and read ancient Chronicles and prayed nightly for the most magnificent Miracles. Finally one day while meditating, a vision of complex Epicycles formed in the most profound Tabernacles of his mind. He awoke to realize it mattered not what hateful words prodded him like chilly Icicles; he was already atop the Pinnacles of manliness, and he wasn’t alone. From that day forth he hung proudly with his wiry protector, the hideous and patchy Follicles no one dared approach.

I used to think it was just a social in-group/out-group thing, so English speakers could more easily spot foreigners for not knowing the odd pronunciations. But the more I learn about language the more I think of the adage “don’t ascribe malice to what could be adequately explained by incompetence”.

With how many speakers use English, I now think it just gets jumbled and mangled over time and there’s no real central authority to correct for that. Ultimately that makes our words sound weirder and more colorful so it’s not the worst thing, especially once you understand that even native speakers don’t know how to pronounce most large words until heard.

Many are from a huge list (some modified) but I picked out favorites that seemed fitting for a pet and it was actually easier to just retype them. Some were my ideas (e.g. Lt. Dangle because I love Reno 911). I didn’t want duplicates so alphabetizing was the simplest way to avoid that. And yes I giggled pretty much the whole time 😁

That’s actually amazing that we have eclipse shots from Mars. Anyone know how it was taken? What instrument?

But then there’s no implied murder after the fact.

I TRIED CLICKING AND NOTHING IS HAPPENING!!1!

Isn’t this just Skibdi Toilet?
