        Do NOT cover the baker in flour then light a fire. Repeat: do not.
        Flour dust is highly explosive. We’re trying to be a fun jerk here, not a murderer.

              My chemistry teacher did that with the standard flour dust explosion demonstration with a followup at the end of semester class where everyone was encouraged to bring in materials to either explode or combust in pure O2.
              We even had a video camera from the camera club and the science clubs spectrometer setup to document everything. We only scorched a few ceiling tiles.

              When I was in high school, one class trip included dinner at a (relatively) fancy restaurant. Certain of my classmates discovered that when you toss a bit of sugar into a candle flame, it flares up. Then they discovered that when you do the same with artificial sweetener, the candle goes out with lots of smoke.

      I think the operative phrase is “floating time line” where the comic is always in the present day and things in the past are the same distance away in the past despite the passage of time IRL.

        Yup, when they first announced it, the game was just something they’d whipped up for fun and practice, so the trailer was a complete joke and the game didn’t have a title. One suddenly huge fanbase later, and they figured they should probably actually make it into a proper game, and the working title (or lack thereof) ended up sticking.

    Oh good, she isn’t advocating cruelty to kitties… I was momentarily puzzled and concerned.

    I mean, it provided a few seconds’ distraction from politics? (Am in UK. Not happy with election results. Like and value things like the NHS, schools, being part of the EU, etc. Dislike campaigns built on lies, liars, the government spending ridiculous sums on making the country worse-off long and short-term…)

      I mean in 2016 I went to my job at a school the day after the election here in the US and many of my fellow educators were all wearing black. Also, more importantly, these Google Trends results from 2016. The top 5 “How to…” Google searches in the US that year:

      How to…
      1) How to play Pokémon Go?
      2) How to register to vote?
      3) How to play Powerball?
      4) How to make slime?
      5) How to move to Canada?

      …I suspect you may see something similar this year in the UK. What would be the equivalent for you guys, how to move to France?

      …Anyway, welcome to the hostage situation. Don’t worry, you don’t get used to it, but eventually you can start compensating for the pervasive sense of surrealness with some particularly vicious humor. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the show. Take comfort in the glacial speed of bureaucracy. You have our sympathies. <3

        You think that’s something? You think that’s ANYTHING? The night after the Brexit vote, the top searches in the UK were:

        “What is the EU?”
        “What does the EU do?”
        “What does it mean to leave the EU?”

        To me, that sounds like the sort of shit you should google BEFORE voting about it, but I’m weird like that.

          Did you know that even though people proclaimed Pokemon Go dead within a month, it still has an active fan community today? A lot of games have a spike in hype when they first come up, but this “everyone loves this game but forgets it right away” thing isn’t real. I still see goose fan art.

    Performing sympathy, eh Sarah? Are you sure? Your jaded views and self defeat smell like bitter black coffee with no sugar, and your anger roasts it to some intolerable brand of coffee that can only be “enjoyed” by edgelords.

    Can the cat poop in Sarah’s cake to add extra karma?

    Speaking of birthday wishes… While birthday cake and even blowing out the candles are also things in Norway, birthday wishes, while technically existing, definitely aren’t taken as seriously as in USA. Heck, I don’t ever remember really wishing for anything myself.

    I do remember the first time I saw someone taking it seriously, though; because I found out a little bit later what it was.

    This was in 2011, and I was in USA, visiting this just absolutely amazing girl that I’d known online for almost a year. I was even lucky enough that she had her birthday while I was there.

    Now, while we spent her actual birthday alone (ahem), two days later, we visited her parents, and had a normal birthday party with cake and presents and stuff. And she very, very, strongly made a wish. Which she didn’t tell anyone at the time because that’s against the rules.

    I found out a few days later that her wish was that I’d propose to her.

    I found out this because a few days later, I proposed to her, making her wish come true.

      “Performing” doesn’t always mean something’s artificial; it means you’re carrying out a task. (If you perform surgery, the result isn’t fake.)

      My read is that for Sarah, sympathy is something that she does consciously, by forcing herself not to instinctively employ the defensive distancing mechanism of snark and to really focus on the other person’s feelings. It’s work to her, but the result is still genuine.

        Also, like.

        Even if I am genuinely sympathetic to your plight, I can only spare so much of that sympathy at a time before burning out. This is why caregiver burnout exists, for example – you don’t stop loving your aging parent even as their health is failing and you’re the one managing their life, but it is EXHAUSTING to do, particularly with the attendant ‘thinking about your parent’s mortality’ bit. It’s why people eventually need to plug out of politics and current events for a while – being always on and caring eventually leaves you nonfunctional.

        And in Sarah’s case, she has a LOT of worry for Joyce and not a lot of energy to be social about it, even before we talk about the defensiveness. It’s gotta be exhausting when, in the span of one semester, your roommate’s been drugged in an attempted date rape; gotten you to discuss your own trauma; had a best friend show up in crisis; had best friend’s dad show up to kidnap her, threatening your roommate at gunpoint; crisis of faith began; attempted rapist showed back up again; attempted rapist attempted to get into dorm and get after roommate and friend (and probably you for hitting him with a baseball bat), and was only stopped after a brutal stabbing; and now this whole first heartbreak based off bad behavior you helped encourage thing.

        And we’re only NOW at midterms. And I’m skipping stuff Sarah hasn’t been in some way present for or that I otherwise forgot.

        And meanwhile the RA was suicidally depressed and banging your neighbor in an alcoholic depression pact. Seriously, being in this friend circle is EXHAUSTING.

          Like, Sarah can’t NOT care on some level that her roommate is having at least three crises, because she lives with her, but I’m pretty certain she doesn’t have the emotional bandwidth to invest in, say, Amber’s problems because Jesus FUCK, this semester. I’m not certain Sarah’s had the emotional bandwidth to really assess her OWN life and issues this semester between the armed intruders on campus.

Here's an entertaining cite at the bottom of the first page
The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the
government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset. See Trump v. United States,
603 U.S. 593, 630 (2024).
