Scooter? Sam Eagle?

Yeah, it would probably be seen as kind of a killjoy move now, but it might have been better if FA had always just displayed tags in alphabetical order rather than in the order they're typed in to discourage this kind of thing.

A cartoon drawing of the rear of a green-and-woodgrain AMC Eagle, mid-jump above a rural road in a coniferous forest, driven by an anthropomorphic wolf. Stickers on the back read "My kids have 4 paws," "My parents have 4 paws," and "Werewolf Driver- Please Be Patient"

Something like this has happened to me more than once.

Also, I've had people ask if my husband was my brother, which is probably due to heteronormativity (we look nothing alike), but honestly is probably less awkward?

for distinguishing sentence breaks, that would explain a lot of visual design confusion I've had over the years!

I mean, no joke, I have complained to people I've been working with both about how small the periods in some fonts are, and how weirdly round the commas in some fonts are. If this is really just a difference where some people don't use punctuation shape as their main visual signifier...

I think I'm learning how much these conventions are interrelated. In my brain, (a) the hand written period is a tight circle that is noticeably larger than a comma head, (b) too-small periods are a deficiency in font design, and (c) two spaces after a period is a weird anachronism.

I acknowledge that this is true in most modern fonts, but to me the comma is a small pen-stroke and the period is (or should be) a fat dot or square. So to me this is a problem with periods (and/or commas) being drawn wrong? Or perhaps not wrong, but way outside how I think of them.

This is the one and only case where I will defend American numbers. When it comes to metric units, date formats, and so on, I will concede to European superiority. But like... why would anyone use the full stop symbol for the less consequential divider in a number. It baffles me.

My family is mostly from Texas, so "y'all" is something that rubbed off on me a bit, but I didn't use it much online for a while because I thought that people would think I was a hick.

Tips for adults: Make the animal noises together.

This is your reminder to pet your partner and tell them they’re a good animal.

It's very funny that you then missed the typo in this skeet.

Even that's not a perfect analogy though, and also some breeds tend to live way longer or shorter lives than others...

I forget where I saw this, but I heard a different rule of thumb for dogs that was basically "After a year, they are basically like a 16-year old. After two years, basically 24. Then add 4 years for every year after that."

*Amazon lists the eTextbook at the same price as a physical hardcover*
No, Amazon. I'm not going to pay $65 to license a textbook-like digital artifact. I'm going to get a physical object that I permanently own, with an index that is as good as CTRL-F in 95% of cases.

The “Calvin’s dad explains two types” meme, inspired by a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon. Clockwise from top left: 1) Calvin’s dad walks into frame to find Calvin trying to operate a record player. The dad says: “There are only two industries left in America: gambling, and fraud.” 2) The dad shows where the record goes, and how to turn on the player, while Calvin watches. Dad says “Derivatives? Gambling. AI? Fraud. Video games? Gambling. Social media? Fraud.” Calvin says “yeah”. 3) With one hand open palm up, Calvin’s dad cheerfully explains to Calvin out of frame below him, “The stock market looks like gambling, but it’s actually fraud.” 4) In bed in a dark room, Calvin clutches at his pillow, eyes wide in existential terror. There is no text in the panel.

30 years ago today, Principal Skinner purchased fast food to disguise as his own cooking at an unforgettable luncheon with Superintendent Chalmers.

If you start an argument, and then immediately say that the other person is wasting your time for engaging with the argument you started, that's not only rude, but it makes you seem incredibly dumb. If you think arguing with people is a waste of time, stop posting! No one is forcing you to do this!

This is a common thing on the internet that I wish would stop. It's rarely helpful to start an online argument with a stranger at all (I'm as guilty as anyone else here), but if you're going to come into someone's replies like this, you should be prepared to actually back up what you're saying.

Just saw an exchange on here that went roughly like:

A: *snarky statement of opinion*
B: No, you're wrong.
A: *explains concerns more seriously and in detail*
B: You're just an angry person. I don't have time for people like you.

I hate this. You deserve better. Everyone deserves better. I hate that there's so little joy that's not tainted.

Sorry to hear it. I've been lucky in that I've been able to work remotely, though I can't say that I have the same sense of purpose I used to have, now that I'm working on climate science for an administration that just hasn't gotten around to firing me yet.

But since someone wanted the airport train to give "welcome to the West" vibes, they recorded the announcements with an accent that no one in Colorado has had in a century, if ever. Totally just a guy imitating old Western movies.
