          Accidental flags aren’t a big deal. You need multiple flags to get a comment removed for inspection, and it’s a high enough number it’s not likely to happen accidentally, and if it didn’t deserve to be removed it can be re-approved.

      When I was in college, I often mentioned I was on an “experiment to determine how close to LD-50 caffeine one could stay for an extended time without negative physical effects”.

      At this time, I appear to have absolutely no biochemical response to caffeine. I can even drink 20-ounce bottles of Diet Coke an hour before bed and sleep without issue. (Although some people also suggest that my issue is not “biochemical derangement” but “insanely obvious to everyone but me undiagnosed ADD”.)

        I was confused by my complete lack of reaction to caffeine for years. I could drink caffeinated soda before bed like you said, I would drink fountain sodas at work (fast food) all day 5 days a week for years, and then drink nothing but water on the weekends and I felt zero change, zero withdrawal, nothing.

        I figured maybe it was because my parents let me drink caffeinated sodas all the time as a kid.

        Then I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was 28.

    His awkward offer of support made and rebuffed, Joe retreats to the safety of the stereotype he’s made of himself. One that definitely doesn’t have real feelings for/about women, nope.

    As someone who is thoroughly on-board the JoJo ship… This strip is just the worst. It’ll happen, heck, it looks like it’s narratively bound to happen at this point…. But if we ain’t taking the ‘scenic shortcut’ through the briars to get there.

        In the context of a strip like Dumbing of Age, where there isn’t really a fixed endgame, I don’t know if you have endgame ships.

        You do have ships like Becky/Dina, which feel like a rock-solid constant that isn’t going to get broken up, but that isn’t really the endgame for either character’s development, it’s a status quo that seems like it’s going to stick.

              20 years is generous. Remember we’ve taken 12 real years to cover a little over four in-universe months, and that’s with a massive timeskip two years ago that outright bypassed two months altogether.

        Celebrity Voice Actors is a really annoying trope enforced by Hollywood executives, but every once in a while you get one with a real gift for it, and Steve Carell killed it.

        Over The Hedge was one of those dime-a-dozen mid-2000s CGI kids movies that were flooding theaters after Pixar showed it could be done, it just happened to be one of the good ones.

      Eh, I’m pretty sure Robin didn’t have the power to phase out of reality altogether. At the very least, she didn’t have Flash-style vibrational interdimensional travel at her disposal; the only time we saw her travel to another universe she used Joe’s portal to do it.

    I can understand how Joe felt. He wanted to help Amber, or just get some information about their parents and she was really mean and rude. But leaving without even saying Hi to Joyce is even more mean and rude! Joyce was rightfully offended, she was definitely hoping to talk to him. Joe deserves to be hit with the pan in the head and Amber too.

      I think he felt uncomfortable with Amber getting close to the truth that he was there to spend time with Joyce and not to have casual sex with anyone. Thus he left without talking to Joyce.

    “Manliness” is starting to feel a bit outdated these days. What makes a man or woman or just a person in general is for each individual to decide. I think Walky would be better served saying he is the toughest dude there, or the one with the most sexual encounters, or the most defined musculature. “Maniliness” I’m not sure what he’s comparing by just that.

      Well the most basic definition of manliness would be probably Reliability and Responsibility. Basically someone who can be depended on in a time of crisis to solve problems and well… Walky is an irresponsible baby so…

        I’d say Danny has Walky beat for responsible-ness, reliability, though? Debatable.

        Walky might have Danny beat in raw physical prowess, then again Walky’s known for binging on 50 packs of McNuggets and Danny rides a bike around I guess. You know, the more I type this out the more I’m convinced Danny’s probably more manly than Walky. Walky’s just got a bit more charisma. Probably.

    I do wonder what the Danny versus Walky matchup is like. Neither have majorly invested into any major combat abilities. Danny’s clearly a bard. Walky’s harder to nail down and is maybe even undefined. He dabbled a bit in vigilante like Amber but I don’t think he even has 1 level in it and just bought the costume. I don’t think he even finished the tutorial mission.

        I wouldn’t class Walky as a rogue. He doesn’t show any proficiency in any traditional rogue qualities. No slight of hand feats, no particularly remarkable stealth or assassination abilities. All Walky really has is a high charisma stat and a unique diet. He’s kind of undefined because he hasn’t chosen to specify in anything. He hasn’t followed through on the potential his stats would allow. For example high charisma is great for bards but he hasn’t learned an instrument or dabbled in performance arts of any kind. He could leverage his privileged genetics into a great martial class, but he doesn’t workout enough to build his hit points for tanking or take the time to learn any martial skills.

        Walky doesn’t have a patron or strong faith, he’s not academic enough to study wizardry. Walky has a lot of potential but is kind of just sitting on it. This despite his charisma being buffed even higher in the last update and unlocking the “hot” character trait.

        Honestly Walky’s diet is so insane it’s more likely he’d develop some ability to turn processed sugar into energy more efficiently thus allowing him to live off candy indefinitely without gaining weight or getting diabetes.

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).

It's not a new argument, of course, but Chesterton dismissed it effectively in 1908. "You will hear everlastingly... this argument that the rich man cannot be bribed. The fact is, of course, that the rich man is bribed; he has been bribed already. That is why he is a rich man."

AI generated ad by a company called Travello showing the 10 most visited cities in Europe, except the cities are hilariously poorly placed. 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. Also a few of the borders like Switzerland and Austria or Hungary and Slovenia are missing.

wilbur, savvy enough to know he's in a comic strip but still not a great actor, awkwardly lifts a muffin up into frame so that we, the audience, understand that he has a muffin right now, which is very important narratively, but he's not really selling it well as an organic, human action
