I'm beautiful and tough like a diamond...or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • How is this not racist/xenophobic? (yeah, I know "American" isn't a race). You make this kind of comic for any other country, and a rational person would be like "yeah, that's...pretty racist."

  • This and the "time warp" pose:

    That's what that pose was??

    I always thought it was the "I'm about to shit my pants" pose, and I never made the connection to Rocky Horror Picture Show.

  • I didn't notice it at the time, but AIM away messages were basically like proto-Twitter long before actual Twitter became a thing. Some people would always be "away" so their inspirational crap would show since AIM still let you chat like normal while "away".

  • vaguebooking that would involve lame-ass "motivation quotes" or worse song lyrics that were obviously about some dramatic thing happening in their life

    You've just described like 90% of the AIM away messages in high school lol.

  • That's how ours is. Mostly just collects and manages funds for tree trimming, (communal) landscaping, and to pay the snow plows in the winter.

    There's a little micro-management (trash cans have to be out of view except during pickup days, etc) but nothing too draconian.

    That said, if/when I ever move, I'm going out of my way to not live in an HOA.

  • At least we're not doing duckface anymore.

  • I"m 100% with you. Faith of the Heart fans unite!

  • In what aisle in Coscto would I find one of those? Asking for a friend.

    In all fairness, my HOA isn't that bad. They're more annoying than totalitarian. HOA President Commander Toreth is actually pretty nice. Weirdly, all the people close to my age (mid 40's) like her, and all of her Boomer peers seem terrified of her. I kinda want to know the story there. Like... is she former (or current emeritus) Tal-Shiar?

  • Honestly, if Commander Toreth was a little older and had white hair, she'd be a ringer for our current HOA president.

  • Similar vibes lol:

  • Barclay has a cat named Neelix, so maybe that's what Janeway named her replicator.

    That also explains why the food from it is always awful:

  • Maybe just that model? I've got an X1 carbon. It expects 45W and will run from anything that spits out 20V. Even hooked it into a 20W power bank. It complained that the supply was below expectations and that the battery might not charge but it worked.

  • TIL jackfruit was a thing that existed lol. Will see if I can get any in my area. Might go well with a sweet BBQ sauce?

  • Thanks and thanks! Will check that out.

  • Damn that looks good. I went vegetarian about 4 years ago and, while I have no regrets, I do miss pulled pork...like, a lot. I'm totally gonna enjoy those sandwiches vicariously through you lol.

  • Lol. Their comment is like telling a depressed person to "just cheer up". Yeah, super helpful. Thanks so much.

  • Some of us don't have access to or live in a public transit utopia. c/FuckCars is that way ➡️
