In context, she’s portrayed as dumb for it and specifically said she was going to vote communist because the guy was handsome. It’s not very flattering to her, and IIRC she changes (or is implied to consider changing?) her vote to Bush at the end.

Now, what I actually WOULD consider a woke episode for the time was the episode about Dale’s dad being gay and working in the gay rodeo. This was 2 years before Bush’s re-election bait was to say he wanted to add an amendment to the US Constitution to outlaw gay marriage.

Also the episode where Peggy winds up making friends with drag queens because of her enormous feet.

If you’re coding or whatever this is fine. But I would really, really like my doctors and engineers to be educated by other doctors and engineers.

You frame that as if the same can’t happen if you use AI. At least if you actually do the work you have the knowledge and the ability to research.

Can’t wait to see all the exciting ways this fucks up people’s computers.

Bud, you are the one that compared it to calling a woman a lesbian for not wanting to see tits everywhere. That comparison only works if the one complaining about it also has tits, ie is a furry.

Are you the furry who doesn’t want to see fursonas everywhere in this analogy?

We’re fucked if a plane headed to Anthrocon ever crashes.

What is this, 2003? Furries run the internet.

Very glad that my dumb ass probably has like 10% less plastic in my brain than most people my age because I never smoked out of cans. Thanks, paranoid teen me!

The OP loads for me, but this doesn’t. Not sure if it’s a Tesseract issue or something else.

You know how Mark Twain said he came in with Halley’s Comet, and he’d go out with it too? That’s us, but with tariffs.

I have a friend (my age) whose dad was about your age when she was born. He did die when she was fairly young, under 30. But my parents had me young, and I lost one of them only a few years after my friend’s dad died, despite being decades younger. You can never guarantee you’re going to be there ‘long enough’ for your kid, no matter what age you have them at.

Apparently some celebrities (real or internet) have said they had blue checks applied to them unwillingly. I remember some shitposter (maybe dril or Internet Hippo?) was intentionally trying to lose their blue check for a while by violating whatever blue check TOS related to usernames.

I’m so glad I left completely (minus the random search result with no other leads, but no browsing) when the API fuckery started, corporate social media sounds like an absolute hellscape now.

Reddit has streaks now??

Has anyone ever said that so much depends on you?

(Assuming your display name is a reference to the poem)

But I might want to not use this doctor for my yearly specialty visits for the first time in over a decade!

Yeah, they’re not great. Unfortunately the only other option near me that isn’t unaffordable is the Salvation Army 🤢

Goodwill Outlet/bins store, baby. You can still buy by the pound. Regular Goodwill stores are still pretty good here too if you buy the sale tags.

Accusing OP of posting crypto-antisemitism for using the word “they” in the title of a post that has an extremely clear, literally labeled target (the DNC, if you look at the second panel) feels extremely disingenuous.
