Here I was, ready to call them out on stealing the joke from The Hangover, since I vaguely remember these comics from the same time period. (Matt’s comics are also my least favorite, and this one has a punchline more than just grabbing random women.) It turns out this strip came out 4 years before the movie.

Yep. It’s why I try not to lean into anything too hard and get secondhand or minimal supplies. If she latches on, we can look at expanding, but that usually just fizzles out.

What a prick

It means when the government helps people that aren’t me or people I like, or fails to hurt the people I don’t like.

I would think that removing the barriers to voting that affect younger voters is the better option, along with getting rid of the electoral college and allowing felons to vote. Taking away voting rights for certain classes of citizens is a slippery slope, especially when the root problem is some votes count more than others and many potential votes never make it to the polls.

it sucks when I get that wave of productivity and then I try to push myself like that every day and beat myself up when I don’t achieve it.

Oof, yeah kids can be a handful. It can be hard when they’re around because there is truly no “off” when they’re around. Plus children need attention. They will need you less as time goes on, at the cost of becoming mouthy pains in the ass.

The mess will still be about the same amount, but a different kind. (You remember how teen boys can be.)

I’m hoping that you’re just having a temporary rough time with the kids, but you actually like them and want them around. If so, rant away! The life of a parent has a lot of challenges. If not, I would cut your losses and move on. (And not date anyone else with minor children.) The children will know they’re not wanted, and it hurts them to know their stepdad doesn’t like them.

“b-but I was one of the good ones!”

Secondhand, Harbor Freight, and Ryobi is the way for most tools.

Nah if I’m on hold for too long I just hang up unless I have no other alternative.

…am I in the minority where I don’t mind making calls all that much? I prefer doing things online, but sometimes a 5 minute call is easier than dragged out asynchronous correspondence.

And it’s a start. Make public transportation easier to access. Find public education better. Don’t sic CPS on parents that let their children play outside.

Uh oh, I can’t find my prostate. I’ll ask my gyno where it is on my next visit.

What’s your sexual orientation? Straight or political?

If someone destroys your reputation with lies, that is character assassination.

If your reputation is destroyed by people stating facts, you’re just getting your comeuppance.

He’s no stranger to becoming leader of something while having no idea how it works.

Yes, that is the Colorado state flag.

I would haul so much secondhand furniture and appliances in that bad boy.

Oooooooooooooooooh!
