      Yes! Preach it sister!

      Also socks and shoes (totes with Sierra on that one), except in winter, but I’ll leave that hill for another day.

      Also, I feel like I misspelled Sierra, but Google says I’m good, so… ?

      Pants are a tool of oppression and fear. I admit to wearing them at night, when nobody else is in remote danger of seeing my horribly pale legs, just in case somebody happens by. It’s a problem.

      Okay, I have to ask: what do y’all have against pants ? Is it because they feel uncomfy to you ? If so, how ?

      All of this pants-induced hatred perplexes me… even after a huge meal where I’ve eaten so much that my pants don’t fit properly anymore, I barely feel a mild annoyance towards them, and that lasts for only as long as I can’t undo a button…

        They’re tight, they often lack pockets, and they make certain areas overly warm causing sweat, discomfort, and potentially chafing.

        Skirts and dresses offer less warmth, but are far more breathable (addressing issues 1 and 3). And, since I tend to run hot, the lesser warmth it a bonus except in the worst of winter.

        They still don’t have pockets very often, but that’s neutral.

            I’ve got two small dogs. They’re each 8 pounds, so their clothes are mostly interchangeable. One is a toy poodle, the other is a chihuahua.

            1. The entire world thinks the poodle is the girl, the chihuahua is the boy. Sometimes people argue with me when I say it’s the other way around. Dogs aren’t like cats, people, they keep their parts on the outside! You can see which one lefts his leg to pee!

            2. They have sweaters for cold weather, and no joke, we have one set where the “boy coded” sweater in red and blue has an actual functional pocket on the back but the “girl coded” sweater in pink and gold has a little fake pocket flap. The pocket conspiracy even extends to dog clothing.

        99% of the time? Nothing.

        When my legs cramp or tense up and tingle really badly and I can’t stand having ANYTHING on them? You’re fucking right they’re coming off when I get home and I either change into my PJs (which are looser and comfier, and usually shorts so they’re not touching much of my legs anyway) OR I have a long shirt on and so am not worried about my underwear.

        My first idea was: pants are a mean of male domination, so robes are better (and unisex) so it’s an antipatriarchal statement
        My second idea was: it’s likely the fabric of most pants is bad and good fabric is expensive so it’s a social statement.
        My third idea was weird: it’s easier for potty training, so it’s an educational statement.
        The idea that never was is : it’s an environmental statement because having less clothes in winter is sensible, you just have to put the heat on the superior level.

              Or “mind your manners”.

              Either way, Yoda is clearly a bald leprechaun, which would make him Irish.

                Would it really?

                Leprechauns, if I’m not mistaken, were normally at odds with the Irish. So even though our knowledge of them comes from the Irish, it feels to me like they’re more likely either Welsh or Scottish, with an off-chance of English. Given the weather on Dagobah, it feels like Scottish is probably closer to the mark.

      Alright, so you’re gonna start with “Mind” and then read the sentence from left to right, until you’ve hit “learned”, at which point you’re gonna be at the end and therefore done reading it.

        Joyce: kicks off pants and eats nachos.

        Conclusion: Joyce has been saved.

    This is a big step for Joyce. Normally she is very picky about her food, but here she is eating out of a bag of chips that had David’s hands (and likely saliva) all over them. Just Eww…

      I’m sure Walky did not breathe directly into the bag and get his saliva over them. Besides, relaxation comes with more reasonable standards.

        Well, what point is she at so far? Did she accomplish anything by having Dorothy and Becky with her last night, where neither of them really reached out to her? Did Dorothy do right by Joyce in telling her that Becky was going to stop being friends with her unless Joyce fixed this problem, a problem Dorothy has helped cause, right this instant?

        Dorothy’s advice was “find a nice deism,” Walky tells her to find a way to chill out to get away from missing a painful routine.

                Yeah, but those outfits are currently buried in Veracruz, New Orleans, a forest in Nova Scotia, and South Korea. There’s a reason her hair is such a vibrant color and why, despite allegedly being from Canada, she’s yet to speak in anything approximating an Irish accent, to say nothing of how nervous she gets any time somebody says the name “Daniella Lewell”.

    I find it hard to believe that someone as neurotic as Joyce (no food textures touching each other, she made bizarre milk carton platform shoes to avoid the bathroom floor) is okay with 1) being in her socks in a public hallway [mega gross] and 2) being pantless in also said public hallway

    It’s possible I’m projecting my own neurodivergent preferences onto her, but I would rather turn my skin inside out than have my otherwise clean socks touch the nasty hallway dorm carpet that only gets cleaned when someone vomits. Plus for someone who (up until recently?) could not even say the word “sex” she’s awfully nonchalant about the possibility of a BOY seeing her underwear. Didn’t she once cover up Sarah’s entire head so Sarah would not see her changing? What happened to that?

    This may have been one of the most wholesome Wally/Joyce interactions to date ♥️ I hope this helps with her neuroses, and also at some point that Becky understands how incredibly stressful Joyce found the doublethink she thought she needed to do in order to be Christian correctly, and the fear that she didn’t actually feel the connection to the divinity that she should do. Yes, she’s being annoying AF, and rude and arrogant etc, but Joyce’s rejection of religion really isn’t just s middle finger raised at her mother. Becky picked and chose; Joyce didn’t think that was an option and did mental contortions because she thought she had to believe everything, no matter how contradictory it may be. Becky feels a connection to a higher power that supports and comforts her; Joyce felt an overwhelming panic that she didn’t feel that properly and would be left behind when the Rapture happened, and she would be revealed as a fraud.

      … huh. That’s beautifully insightful and masterfully encapsulates some very thoughtful explanations of things that I myself had not considered about how different people view Christian dogma in the US.

      Specifically, the idea that Joyce and Becky’s issue is that Joyce is still following the ‘you have to believe everything’ model, just in reverse. It explains so much not just about Joyce but about a lot of people.

      I’ve said it dozens of times and I’ll say it again. People can like and reference things that existed more than five years before their birth. Especially nowadays, when just about any movie or song you want is available either for free or for a relatively reasonable price, all digitally accessible and often bundled together. There’s absolutely nothing odd about this in the digital age.

        Not only that, but Star Wars is such a pervasive cultural touchstone that it’s in the mainstream background noise. The original trilogy has seen theatrical re-releases, multiple releases on every home video format (including streaming), and decades of cable TV airtime. Even if somebody somehow managed to dodge all that, they’re bound to recognize the main characters and memes like “Luke, use the force”, “I am your father”, and backwards Yoda speaks.

      I regularly quote the Marx Brothers and Abbott and Costello, and they were big well before my parents were born. My favorite cartoon as a very young was Scooby Doo, which stopped airing new episodes before I was born and didn’t start airing new ones until I had moved on to other cartoons.

        I didn’t see the first one until my senior year of high school (this was about ten years ago, now) when we watched it in my AP English class. But still, I went in knowing the basics, who the main characters were and the main plot points of that and future movies. Most of my classmates, though, didn’t really know much about Star Wars. Like, they didn’t know Luke and Leia were siblings and were shipping them while we watched. But then, most of my classmates had parents who had immigrated to the US and had different cultural backgrounds than I did.

    My only Star Wars hot take is that I get really gleeful when boomer nerds get huffy about Boba Fett being popular.

    Like they’ll dry heave laugh at any other boomer nerd for getting huffy because Han had a lightsaber in a comic or that one cartoon rabbit dude or the Grey Jedi or whatever, but noooooo you aren’t allowed to think Boba Fett is cool he only stood there menacingly and died in the Sarlacc Pit so if you think any new thing involving him is good that makes you attached to this boring character with a cool design to the point where they got more in-canon relevance, that thing that definitely has never happened ever to any other character.

      Part of it is there was this time in the 90s-00s when a bunch of douchebags were obsessed with him like he was this badass emotionless Punisher figure, and that’s why Disney latched onto him, so it’s kind of a reflexive fandom gripe missing context.

        Okay but now they’re like 45 and it’s still the same nerdrage filtered through an action figure getting more popular than they think it deserves, as if Star Wars is this sacred text in need of protection and not some pulp sci-fi that won’t just go away that’s routinely laughed about every other opportunity.

        Boba Fett starting to meaningfully appear in stuff, as if is he is a cool looking character who’s enough of a blank slate that you can basically do whatever you want with him that already has a built-in level of popularity, feels like karmic backlash against nerdlingers who nerdlinged so hard they became the fandom douchebags.

          Heh, I guess that makes sense. I was both slightly too young and way too tuned out of Star Wars to really be part of that drama, and to my knowledge the new Boba Fett is actually a cool and complex character, not the “the Punisher in Spaaaaace” archetype people decided to project onto the former blank slate. I just sympathize with the idea of disliking said Punisher in Spaaaaaaace archetype, regardless of source.

        It was even before the 90s really. People latched onto him from the very beginning. He became a big thing in fandom right away, despite his lack of presence in the actual films. Apparently he was in some of the ESB trailers? People likely latched onto him then, expecting he’d be bigger in the movie than he was.

        So he showed up in books and comics and then got nods to him in the prequels and in the cartoons, all long before Disney got involved.

        I think they’re part of the same friendship group that walks to Maths together etc. Becky and Walky are actually friends, and have both also traditionally teased Joyce in similar ways (though Joyce takes it better from Becky – as the youngest sibling and only girl to her knowledge, Joyce may feel she’s been teased by boys ENOUGH, or it could be that Becky mixes it up with things like hand-picking the pepperoni off Joyce’s pizza for her, and she knows the teasing comes from a place of love, while she tends to just think of Walky as a goof). They also got kidnapped and battered goons together which probably acts as a bit of a bonding experience.

        Definitely somewhere in the region of friendly! These interactions definitely seem in keeping with the two of them and how they relate to eachother…

The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the

London is in Wales, Paris is in Ireland, Rome is in France, Rom (yes like Rome but without an E) is in Spain, Barcelona is in Morocco, Prague is in Germany, Vienna is in Italy, Istanbul is in Austria, Milan is in Libya, and Antalya is correctly shown as in Turkey but is in the wrong place.
