Hey, that reminds me of my mother’s special chocolate chip cookie recipe. Who doesn’t love the warm gooey smell of chocolate chips? Well this was her special recipe when we asked her for cookies. She said:

1. go to the fucking store
2. and buy the goddamn cookies there, you think I’m your fucking slave?
3. if you don’t have money then get a fucking job
4. christ, you ruined my life.

MMMM! The heartwarming memories of childhood!

c’mon Garf, you’re a smart cat, build a trebuchet.

I read a convincing analysis that one of Napoleon’s problems was that by that point, many of his Marshals had died, and at any rate he wasn’t as much of a threat because everyone had copied or adapted to the French innovations.

yes, as evidenced by the dent in the seated guy’s cane.

Typical Napoleon. Tactically and operationally, the escape from Elba to take over France was brilliant. Strategically and politically, though…

When in doubt, just attribute it to Winston Churchill. Wait…

They are “journalism vegans”. They are choosing to abstain from actual journalism for clickbaiting, herd mentality, and personal lack of skill reasons.

My favorite medieval latin script is the one with illustrations of cats standing up and rabbits with knives.

If it was really important, they woulda made a movie about it! (/s)

How the mod ruled:

Great choice!

If we’re picking characters, I wanna be Uncle Iroh!

Reminds me of that parable of that person who was feeding a bird outside their office window every day, and although they didn’t know it, they themselves were benefiting from opening the window and getting fresh air. Like, maybe the human who made this post would have gone part deaf if he’d left the TV on so loud.

I dunno fam, I wouldn’t mess with someone else’s tool box without their permission, no matter what our relationship…

The sad thing is, 30 seconds with an image editor would have fixed that. But apparently that would be too much work.

I’m not sure how “suspicious behavior” could be relevant to a seller issuing you a refund.

“suspicious behavior” is just a BS term used for switching the blame back to the consumer. Kind of like “for your convenience, we are [removing a capability]” or “for your safety, we are [taking away a right.]” You are correct that it makes no sense.

nah, I like this kind of conversation. back on r$ditt this whole thread woulda been just deleted.

I did get a sticker. I also got “sticker shock”.

Plot twist: once you accept the wheel without reinventing it, you have to pay a monthly wheel subscription.

That’s fine that you think so. Humor’s subjective. tbh I was struggling to explain why I liked this particular strip, because humor is hard to explain. And sometimes this cartoonist’s humor doesn’t do it for me either. I think that’s part of why humor is so valuable, bc of its subjectivity and fragility.
