She does look somewhat fascinated in the picture. Confirmed.

Look at this guy who thinks the USA invented racism and holds a monopoly on it.

Hey we may have our language rules pulled from 30 different other languages and applied seemingly at random, but at least we don’t have to memorize the gender of every inanimate object in the world!

I’ve taken 5 years of German and self studied some Russian and Spanish, and goddamn that gendered noun shit is really, really hard for native English speakers.

Oh well that’s easy then, it’s because you guys speak British, not English!

Kidding aside, I lived in East Anglia for a few years as a kid and I don’t remember the British kids saying it that way either, but that was a really long time ago and my memory ain’t what it used to be! I think. I can’t remember how it used to be actually.

Huh? I have lived in every corner and the middle of the United States and I have never heard anyone pronounce the TH in clothes no matter the accent. It always sounds like close as in to close the door.

Unless you are thinking of cloths, as in a pile of wash cloths.

English kinda sucks sometimes.

Yeah Mississippi will do that to you.

They sound pretty close to me. We can close this issue.

I read this and all I could think of was “Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo”

“Nice watch”

Alright so I went to the library and they are getting a copy from another branch, should have it in a few days.

I think the librarian was kinda impressed I asked for a book from the 1880’s. 😆

NGL, I went to their website to see what kind of content creator they were before posting, because it really could be taken either way, which is a pretty sad reflection of the state of things right now.

Not many sites seem to deal in distance when talking about replacing skateboard wheels, but I was able to find this:

https://skateboardscan.com/skateboard-wheels-last/

So according to that he’d need 10-30 sets of skateboard wheels to cross the country.

Of course if you’re just riding on the side of highways in a straight line forever you could probably get a little more out of them since you’re not doing any precision work or tricks.

That’s new, it didn’t used to do that back in the days when I used it but that was a couple years ago. Sounds like it’s just getting worse.

I don’t remember giving you permission to draw my dad bod.

What does removing the French language pack have to do with this?

I know man. It was empathy not congratulatory. I hope you’re doing ok. Not sure we ever truly get over the things our parents did to us though.

Your passion makes an excellent case on its own. You convinced me to give it a shot, I’ll look for it at the library. I hope they have it.

I doubt I’ll ever read the book but the wikipedia article about it was quite interesting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatland

The only problem with this comic is that it could have been written non-satirically by a conservative without changing a word.

You win. My dad’s nice. My mom’s the narcissist but pretty mild compared to a lot of the other shit I’ve read from people who grew up in that kind of home.
