Apparently Seth MacFarlane asked himself the same question because in The Orville, exactly that happens.

Or maybe the orgy resulted in a holodeck malfunction? I gotta re-watch.

Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was the CEO…

He was only 31?

Geezus. Hate really does age you. I’m over 10 years his senior, and he looks 5 years older than me. And for once, this isn’t a humble-brag.

I mean, I wouldn’t say “don’t celebrate it” but just because someone else is a piece of shit isn’t a blank check for you* to be a piece of shit.

*Collective “you”

But I’m not going to spare him any empathy either

Me either. I’m not even sad he’s (apparently) no longer among us. I just get disgusted with everyone who’s calling for violence left and right (metaphorically and politically).

Might be a bit premature. I’m gonna hold off until someone whose brain isn’t a pile of mush and who isn’t a pathological liar confirms it.

Can you and jawa21 team up and dub whole episodes of Trek (dealer’s choice) with audio/dialog from The Golden Girls? I didn’t know that was something I needed in my life.

Also, I have never seen TGG but you have made me add it to my watch list.

But if someone’s gonna make some wisecrack comment celebrating/endorsing acts of violence, they should definitely watch it to see the sick reality of what they’re celebrating.

Kirk is (was?) a piece of shit, but the armchair judges, juries, and wannabe executioners around here need a reality check.

How’s this?

“No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE 😉”

But then…you sound like…William…Shatner…and I’m not…sure…if that is any…better.

Haha, yeah. I had about the same reaction when I read that. I thought for sure it was an early 2000s thing.

That’s like asking if every racist joke should be applied to everyone of that race. That’s kind of how stereotype-based “humor” works.

Norf F.C or “Goalposting” is the nickname given to a series of drawings and illustrations originating from 4chan’s /pol/ board satirizing Northern English

Yes, 4chan’s /pol/ board is certainly a mighty fine moral compass you’re referencing there. /s

Not saying any of it isn’t accurate for a portion of the population. But it doesn’t apply to everyone (we’re not a monoculture / planet of hats), and to paint 347,628,682 people with a mural of ugly stereotypes is, well, kinda racist / xenophobic.

The barrel is [present-tense verb] [preposition] the Worf.

For regular debit/POS transactions, yeah, I think that’s universal. For ATMs, though, I think it depends on the ATM software, right?
Is it only your bank’s branded ATMs that do that?

My credit union doesn’t operate ATMs and just reimburses the fees, so I use any random ATM when I need to do something other than a deposit. Some let me do multiple transactions, some don’t. Some don’t even let me transfer funds, but those are usually the dinky little machines you find in “convenience” locations.

I really don’t that that gives it a pass, TBH.

I loved the simplicity of it. It did one thing, and did it well enough.

They had an early mobile app (BREW I think), but it was pretty awful.

I think SMS gaining popularity killed it, and they were too early for the “What’s App” era that ultimately killed SMS in a lot of places.

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”.
