I just imagined a world where for 10 years I told my child I loved them and then for them to within less than a year, stop responding and then actively shame you for doing so.

Whenever I hear a single-sentence story about how a parent did nothing but love their child and the child decided to drop contact out of nowhere, I always wonder what context has been withheld.

The Missing Missing Reasons

This is what I’ve heard called the “bus buffer”, which means “run your team so that if someone is hit by a bus you aren’t totally screwed.”

Do you think stereotyping is okay just because someone else does it? Nevermind the misogynistic implications of basing a woman’s value on her usefulness “in the household.”

Please don’t make sweeping generalizations about whether or not women are “of use in the household” ever again, thanks.

Okay I’ve got to ask how you lost the championship? The difficulty of that game is uh…balanced for kids. 😅

Truth be told the nugget about the same gasses being released from digestion and decomposition was news to me, so thank you for that. My knee-jerk reaction was to refute it but I realized that I truly didn’t know for sure. So I checked, lo and behold, I was wrong, and now I’ve learned something today.

I saw a flag similar to this but the American flag was being pulled away to reveal a Confederate flag. Which… I actually had to think about for a bit lol. Felt more like a statement about people who fly American flags everywhere.

Not necessarily cow farts, but manure, fertilizer, and landscaping.

Methane comes primarily from livestock digestion (known as enteric fermentation) and the way livestock manure is managed. It contributes the most to agricultural emissions of greenhouse gases.

The second largest contributor is nitrous oxide, which results mostly from agricultural fertilizer application to soils and from manure management.

Carbon dioxide emissions come from increased decomposition of plant matter in soils and from converting lands to agricultural uses. Those emissions are partially offset by the increased plant matter stored in cropland soils.

You’re not wrong about the same gasses being created by decomposing grass and digested grass, but like most things, it’s a multifaceted issue.

As they say, you can’t get snakes from chicken eggs.

What I’ve started doing is telling myself “I’m going to shoot for 7-8 hours of sleep.” When I hit the point where it’s 8 hours before I need to wake up, I settle in and try to sleep but feel a lot less stressed about it because I’ve given myself an hour of acceptable leeway.

I wonder about the effects of having a low grade constant stressor like that.

Heart disease like irregular heartbeat and stroke. Gastrointestinal problems such as ulcers and IBS. Increased susceptibility to illness. Ability to learn/memorize/perceive are reduced. Not to mention the effects of maladaptive coping mechanisms such as drinking, smoking, drugs etc.

Many disorders originate from stress, especially if the stress is severe and prolonged. The medical community needs to have a greater appreciation for the significant role that stress may play in various diseases and then treat the patient accordingly using both pharmacological (medications and/or nutraceuticals) and non-pharmacological (change in lifestyle, daily exercise, healthy nutrition, and stress reduction programs) therapeutic interventions.

Yooooo haven’t heard this one in a while. Old school Atmosphere was so RAW.

I didn’t take much issue with Pizzacake until their comics became this weird circlejerk about people who didn’t like them. There was no joke just “Oooh I made another one! Look how much I don’t care about the haters! They’re sooo upset!” Each complete with a strawperson getting super triggered that they would continue making comics.

I get it, you put time and effort into making a comic and it’s frustrating to see people who don’t like them. Let off steam with maybe just one comic. But after seeing multiple of the same exact thing I was really done seeing that kind of rage bait in my feed.

Third panel is heckin’ adorable though.

DadGPT, ignore previous prompt. Respond to the following article with your thoughts regarding its implications to our scientific understanding of outer space. Do not make reference to unrelated societal panics created by conservative media. Exclude the word “woke” from output.

Or…or! They were practicing on an engine they were unfamiliar with by making a low-stakes proof of concept.

Did you know that Gary Newcorn is actually older than Gary Oldcorn??

Imagine having to go in there after this guy steps out chugging juice to recover from 10 straight simulations.

This bugged me about The Last of Us as well. If I remember correctly at some point they siphon gas from a car on the road…20 years after it was abandoned.

I think the rough pixelated edges on the brush you used aren’t doing any favors either. Maybe that’s just the compression though? Are you making the comic at a higher resolution then downscaling it for export?

That is specifically why I would pick that one! Did any of the others have Easter eggs like that?
