        Indian customer service. Since revert means “to return” I imagine it got used as “to return an answer” but it makes for some awkward emails if you aren’t expecting it

          It’s an Indian thing? That explains why my dispatcher uses it in that way all the time. It may technically be correct, but it’s an awkward turn of phrase. At least here in Canada.

    Plot Twist: that is literally the only Star Wars Robin has ever seen. All of her campaign speeches are cribbed from the love scenes.

    “I don’t like libs. They’re coarse and rough and irritating, and they get everywhere.”

    Her constituency eats it up.

        The only Star Wars game I’ve played for any substantial length of time is The Empire Strikes Back on the Atari, where you have to shoot AT-ATs with your eight-pixel Snowspeeder until they change colors and eventually explode. Maybe this situation needs to be remedied?

        My favorite Star Wars video games are still the old Battlefront and Battlefront 2 games made in 2004 and 2005. Not the crappy newer games with the same name made by EA a few years ago.

        For me it’s a tossup between Galactic Battlegrounds (2001) and Knights of the Old Republic (2003). Battlegrounds is a contender because I like turtling up and in it you can combine both shields and walls, which is like your walls having walls which is glorious. And KOTOR of course is a Star Wars game where you have more story than combat and, like maybe only the second dumbest alignment system possible, so what’s better than that?

        My favorite Star Wars game was the 1983 arcade game, a first-person shooter where you were Luke Skywalker (Red Five) attacking the Death Star in your X-wing fighter — dogfighting TIE fighters and strafing the surface of the Death Star before making the climactic run down the trench to launch your proton (not photon; that was Star Trek’s thing) torpedo at the exhaust port.

        She still had to win the election and in particular the nomination, if this is as solid a GOP seat as it now seems. Those can be hotly contested for open seats and it’s not like being a young Latina is big plus in a Republican primary.

        I suspect shenanigans were involved.

          On the other hand, she’s a young Latina who will say and vote for literally anything they tell her to in order to gain/keep her position.

          She can be both the token woman AND the token brown person Republic*ns and “Centrists” can point to to argue that any given policy isn’t wildly racist and/or sexist.

          The far right didn’t get to where it is by being stupid…

            Sure, she’s useful once she’s there and that would likely be enough for her to get reelected, were it not for the recent scandals, but she had to beat out white men to get there and that’s a feat. It’s one thing to say it’s good to have a token, but other Republicans would want that seat. It’s possible the shenanigans involved someone clearing the way for her so they would have a token, but that would take those shenanigans to justify.

            There are reasons there’s only one Latina Republican in the House.

              Given the frequency with which right wing leaders get caught in gay sex scandals, I can see her winning the nomination more or less by default because she was the only primary opponent of Mr. Self-Destructo who hadn’t bothered to announce she was dropping out of the race.

              I can very easily see her failing up into the seat because she was too lazy and disorganized to file some paperwork.

          Eh, So it’s a five minute movie of pure awesome, that for some reason is bundled with two hours of stupid filler material.

          I can live with that.

          (Kinda the same with Frozen. a wonderful 30 minute movie of heartwarming sisterly love… and some weird filler material about trolls with shipping googles)

      I literally fell asleep in the theatre for 45 minutes the first time I saw it and then when I watched it again at home much later (before The Force Awakens) I realised I had missed LITERALLY NOTHING THAT MATTERED.

      The middle movie of a Star Wars trilogy seems to always best be described as “Had some good moments, but is paced so awfully that actually watching it whole is a shithead idea”. Episode II, Episode V, Episode VIII.

        Er, Empire Strikes Back is DEFINITELY the best of the Star Wars movies (except possibly Solo and the second of the current Disney trilogy, which I have not seen and therefore cannot comment on).

      Speaking of Walky, why isn’t he tagged?  He’s standing right there in the open in panel five, still scarfing down pizza.  And in that same panel, isn’t that Joe in back of Becky?  He’s not tagged either.

      Meester Willis, have you ever gotten any kind of comment from Joe LaMantia, the local Bloomington artist that created “Artisticat” (B.J.Cat’s *actual* name), about the exposure his creation is getting in DoA?

      Or at least the nickname it got stuck with?

        I asked a similar question about the nickname a few months back, and Willis responded in the comments with this reply —
        “I didn’t name it Blow Job Cat. I got that name from the Bloomington residents who introduced me to it.”
