Mom, could you please buy me a Spaceballs™ flamethrower?

They’re so hot right now!

That hits too close to home…

He’s convinced she’s his wife before he hugged her, so I surmise she’s the 2030 version of the ninja log…

…Just before he could hug her, she replaced herself with a cake. That really is dedication on her part!

WTF? He tasted one “for science”! While I understand there wasn’t any other way to know… What if it Hay been a poisonous mixture? I suppose he’d tested it before against common poisons! Still, wow!

Isn’t the tagline “Hang on” and not “Hold on”?

Thanks for your words! I wish the same to you (your description of excitement is so awesome!)! Hang in there!

What your words triggered in me are fairly old emotions. Those two bad relations happened many years ago and now am I with someone I hope will last (you never know, but fingers crossed)

Am so sorry to hear about this. Your message makes me wonder about two past relationships

(1) In one I spent years with someone and it actually was a very toxic relationship, but I didn’t realize it during the whole time. What happened was that when I got dumped, I thought I’d die and instead I got over it very quickly by noticing how much I’d lost of myself and how I was rediscovering of myself. It turned out I was able to flush it from myself in less that 6 months. It probably also helped I had finally found what I wanted to do for myself

(2) About a year and a half after the previous relationship, I found someone I really wanted to be with and who made it incredibly hard to get together with. I worked so hard and then we got together. After a month together, she cheated on me with my (then) best friend of several years. It took me years to get over this and we’d been together for just a month. Somehow the fact I wasn’t able to fully live this relationship hurt me way more than the previous long (but horrible) relationship.

Finding things that you enjoy doing helps a lot, but mainly it’s time that heals your wounds.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

I know it’s a meme, but I can’t resist saying that if you check his website out, you’ll see he has all of his books and drafts available entirely for free and he also says he’s agreed with the publisher to cap the book’s price to something reasonable (which used to be true, I haven’t checked now).

He’s also nice in person, if you talk to him!

It’s too bad that the meme is right and his legacy will be not having given solution to any problem 😁

Brutal (and awesome)

I’ve read it this year for the first time. It’s fantastic. So short and so powerful.

So are there any good news in this respect?

Rewind

What is the sound of one banana clapping?

Zatoichi approves.

Silence!

Don’t tell the holy secret to the world!

Very recently I started noticing that if you search anything on YouTube you don’t find what you need at all unless you add many keywords and even then, the site only gives you one coherent answer and tons of garbage you don’t need.

Mostly because, instead of giving you videos on the full set of keywords you use, it gives the first video which is based on all of them, and all subsequent videos based on just a single of such keywords, so mainly you get a lot of crap from influencers or such.

Has anyone else experienced this and knows if there is a way around it?

I don’t know if this fits the bill but, for several years, I heard the story of a man who had been released from an asylum and spent all his time on the sidewalk of a large road pretending to be a tree, raising his hands and fingers as if they were branches and bushes and would wave them in case of wind (also imitating their noise). He was nicknamed after a specific type of tree I don’t remember now

I’ve never met the guy, but it stuck with me since I heard the same story from various people who didn’t know each other

Edit: grammar

Ooooh, now it makes sense! Thanks!!! I’ve been that guy several times, getting lost in my thoughts, so I see why everyone could relate to this strip!

Whoa dude!

PS This is a great shower thought!!!
