  • I’m a guy, so maybe it’s because I’m not a woman, but I definitely don’t understand the joke here. Does anyone actually expect the left side? I’ve quite literally never once heard anything to suggest that pms is some sort of a positive experience (definitely not a “sexy” one).



  • I think that’s exactly what that person is saying though. There is plenty of opportunity for good public infrastructure, but bad policy and auto lobbies have prevented them from happening. A good example is how most neighborhoods are not allowed to be located with businesses/shops/restaurants, and vice versa. This simple change would make so much more of the country more walkable






  • In the image itself, it directly calls it a “profit motive,” not just a general motive. I figured you may have missed that by mistake, wasn’t trying to be rude.

    Then the rest the of the post implies that these other people are able to do stuff without a profit motive, though yes it doesn’t state they have other motives i suppose? But i think that’s the point

    In this story arc, Calvin stole her class notes and was trying to hold them hostage. Instead of meeting his demands, she waited quietly as a strategy. She was extremely angry.

    Hobbes simply pointed out that, due to their hostage situation, they were able to stay up 30 minutes past when Rosalyn makes them go to bed.

    Edit: in the arc, they literally hid behind a locked door until 7pm. They didn’t “act better,” hobbes is just pointing out they technically succeeded in staying up later
