When you know that you've finally made it...
  • Not the other guy but I thought they looked cool. I like the art deco cars and they at least looked different from the generic cars we see today. I guess some people just think different = ugly?

  • Fear triumphs over hope as Trump wins the presidency – how did it happen?
  • They weren't fooled. They knew exactly what he is.

    They didn't care.

    That's the fallacy that us lefties kinda fall into, that if someone was just educated enough or knew enough or could see the facts, the person would change their mind.

    The thing is, this was all about trying to get back at the left and minorities. "Fuck you I don't like the changing world I want my pretend 50s universe with no blacks and gays"

  • People in their 40s and 50s with no children, how does it feel?
  • Turn 40 in about a month and let me tell you, it's dope AF. I've got more friends than I know what to do with, having way more fun than in my 20s and I'm not tied down to raising a kid. I go to cons and adventures all the time that I couldn't do nor afford if I had kids. Having kids always grossed me out. I've got friends with kids that I can corrupt as needed.

  • Socially Awkward Rule
  • Sometimes, yeah.

    Or, specifically, I can't stand the people who constantly post about how they have social anxiety in a public place for attention (which seems like the opposite of what they would want) and have this whole persona of a "smol widdle sad bean 8c I'd wather wet people die den tawk to dem".

    I've had to deal with a lot of toxic, manipulative people who use their identity of having "social anxiety" as a way to manipulate and control others. "I am so weak and tired from talking and anxious, we should go back to the hotel right now and if we don't I'm going to throw a fit!" Doesn't matter if it's the funeral for their partner's dad and said partner hasn't seen their family in years because they live far away and it's really important for them to get closure, naw, the anxiety is more important so we gotta leave NOW.

    So yeah, I don't like some socially anxious people. And I hate people who have attitudes like this comic, because for some people, it's not hyperbole, they are that selfish and self centered.

  • How is anime and manga more popular than comics and western cartoons?
  • Dude the marvel cinematic universe is we...was one of the biggest hits to smash into the box office. Batman is one of the most popular fictional characters ever written. People are still talking about adventure time, regular show, Avatar the last Airbender, and they ended how long ago? SpongeBob is still on the air. Simpsons has lasted longer than most anime.

    What are you talking about, Western comics and animation being less popular?

    You want to know a pretty unbiased way to judge this? Look at a Halloween store. Spirit even has stuff from the hawk tuah lady, so you know they work fast and go with what's popular. You might see an old Naruto costume or two, maybe a Goku, and an endcap of what's popular this year possibly still demon Slayer. But you'll see a bunch of stuff for Batman, Superman, hell the joker and Harley Quinn gave their own sections each, and that's just DC.

  • The real oppressors
  • People see staying up late as a moral failing and feel that it's their job to guilt trip anyone who sleeps in as lazy and wasting the day away.

    People see morning people as industrious and morally superior and don't criticize them for their preferred sleeping habits. At worst they get some ribbing for not being able to stay away for new years, but it's seen as understandable and a more pious lifestyle.

    So... Yeah. Morning people wingeing in the comments here can fight me, I'll meet you at 10 o. Clock tonight outside.

  • hey, since we're posting vans, anyone have suggestions for a good cargo van?

    I'd like one with a roof rack and if it had a trailer hitch that would be a bonus. I prefer longevity and ease of repair over looks. I plan on painting it to look like a jazz cup like I did with my old cop car (pic included)

    If you help me find a good one I'll name the crudely painted wizard in going to put on it after you
