          It depends on when your ancestors first started drinking alcohol. If it was relatively early in human history, you may have some genes that give you better tolerance of alcohol. Even if you do have such genes, alcohol is still far from harmless, however.

        The permanent layer of McNugget grease that coats his stomach lining deflects the alcohol like oil deflecting water, preventing any of it from being absorbed into his bloodstream. He can only derive moisture from corrosive liquids, like soft drinks, which is why he requires so much Mountain Dew.

          I must correct you, for alcohol, like THC, is fat soluble. Walky’s stomach is lined with a plastick like saram wrap.

            Yes, but McNugget grease is not technically fat. It is made from a non-organic waxy substance, which McDonalds holds the patent on. Its origin is unknown and highly classified, although leaked company memos reveal that harvesting it involves providing Grimace with bran muffins and a newspaper.

              “non-organic waxy substance”.

              Sorry, stopped reading right there. You can’t get much more organic than wax!

              I really, really wish we could all agree on one definition of “organic”. It drives me nuts, in case you haven’t notced.

                I think that’s why he said _non-organic_ waxy substance. It behaves like wax, but with no carbon, hydrogen, or oxygen in it.

            Now I really want to get my hands on ethanol and some saran wrap, just to see if one is soluble in the other. Wonder if Everclear would work, despite all that water.

            That’s weird. Alcohol’s polar, isn’t it? Shouldn’t fat be non-polar?

            Sure, there’s oxygen atoms, but they’re surrounded on both ends by a bunch of carbon and hydrogen.

            Unless the fact that the carbon and hydrogen lie more on one end than the other causes a bit of polarity.

              Ethanol is polar, but what makes water so resistant to interacting with fat is the fact that it forms hydrogen bonds with itself so easily. Ethanol can too, but to a much lesser extent thank to that pesky ethyl group. So, ethanol will pass through some surfaces that are watertight. Well, relatively watertight.

            You know the bitter flavor is the result of adding hops during the fermentation and aging processes, right? You can totally home brew as much beer as you can drink without hops, just malt and water to make the wort, then ferment and enjoy (quickly, the hops act as a preservative)

              Heh heh heh, Daniel the Human has to watch out for that kinda problem too, getting hit by some drunk’s breath. He can be in a room/train railcar with a drunk bad enough you can smell it several meters away, but if so he has to watch what his senses are doing, so it doesn’t get to him.

              He has stared down a drunk right in his face, trying to start a fight, but had to sit afterwards cause his head threatened to start spinning…

              Looks to me like Sal’s the same. Maybe she should have an allergy test too, see if alcohol sets off the alarm too…

          I’ve only had a hangover once, which I didn’t at all enjoy. This would include the time I drank enough in one go to trash my stomach lining and couldn’t eat or drink anything but water for two weeks. Felt fine, the next day.

          I…started being careful about how much I drank at one go, after that.

            I’ve heard studies that dudes with the smallest penises tend to have the most sexually satisfied lady-partners of anyone.

            (Theory is that they become really, really good at oral and such. Whereas many dudes with big schlongs — except for Zach’s dude, of course — assume that they can just show up and their big magical dick will automatically satisfy their partner, like in porn, which is very rarely the case in real life.)

              It also has to do with the fact that larger (specifically, longer) phalluses generally have difficulty maintaining erection and have issues with achieving as firm an erection, are generally painful since they go in farther rather than wider (thus not necessarily being ‘more filling’ but rather just more intrusive), etc.

              Basically, long phalluses are always a no-no.
              Wide ones tend to get more varying answers.

        I view Sal as a deconstruction of the cool, badass loner character. She practically exudes coolness looks good no matter what, smokes, drinks, snarks at people, doesn’t put up with their bullshit, can take people in a fight, and even her only having a single friend in Marcie could be construed as Sal being “too cool” to make friends.

        But then you delve into her screentime in the comic and Sal is deeply lonely, hurt by her parents racism while desperate for their acknowledgement, traded sex for grades and seems to expect people want *something* out of her if they pay attention (which makes me wonder what the fuck happened at her boarding school), ignores people in social settings, straightens her hair because she wants it to look whiter, and makes a complete ass of herself when she drinks. She’s nowhere near what Joyce idolizes her to be, and I think soon she’s going to go through some major shit with Amber.

    … Okay, I know that “Sirsly” is just her Southern accent + drunk thing going on, but I’m still amused that Willis just basically name-dropped his first comic in a scenario the Willis of that era would probably go catatonic in shock to see himself writing. And then, if his religious terror experience and mine are at all similar, prayed compulsively every thirty seconds for days on end because what if the last one wasn’t good enough and now I’ve started a new one I can’t just stop praying or else God’ll hear all my thoughts and they’re awful and…

      I’ve never heard that before, your campus must be more strict than most.
      (eg http://www.northwestern.edu/womenscenter/issues-information/sexual-harassment/student-faculty-relationships.html ) from a quick google search.

      Keep in mind that Jason delegated all of her work to a different TA; in any campus I went to [and I went to/interacted with several (6 or 7 :X) – though in fairness, most were community colleges], that would have been acceptable, as he did not have direct supervision of her grade assignment. So long as he doesn’t directly interact with her assignments and their grading, he doesn’t even need to report the relationship (as per the linked, totally random school site I found).

      Though, depending on state, if she’s only 17, that, however, could be an issue.

      In any case, generally, from what I’ve picked up, TAs have pretty lenient restrictions on their dating habits.

        It’s really funny you pointed to Northwestern, of all places. XD

        But, pretty much everywhere I’ve heard of (including NU), relationships between students and Professors/TAs is pretty strictly against the rules if they have “evaluative, supervisory, or instructional authority” over the student. Even voluntarily giving up her grading to someone else, it’s hard to argue he doesn’t; there’s kind of an inherent potential for bias there, to say nothing of the potential imbalance in power. (There’s actually a recent trend at some universities to prohibit relationships between any Professor and student, not just those they’re currently teaching.)

        Either way, at the very very least, I imagine Jason would be having a variety of hard conversations with the higher-ups and muckity-mucks at IU.

          Fair enough 🙂

          But yeah, from what little interaction I’ve had with that [can’t say I’ve boinked any educational staff myself], it’s always been a ‘okay to have a relationship with students not in your class [professor] or if you report it’/’okay to have a relationship with students in your class [TA] if you don’t have an effect on their grades’.

          Though in fairness, I think all the circumstances I’m aware of, they had the relationships before the class began, and entered the class with that understanding [sort of like having a family member (eg child) in your class].

          Starting the relationship while the student is in your class does seem really questionable.

          Though if Penny and her comments are any indication, I doubt the school staff’ll care too much. They might even throw him a party :X

    Well, there’s one question answered: they will not have sex tonight.

    It would be kinda sweet if Jason let Sal sleep it off on his couch. Or he might be more chivalrous than I expect and give her the bed while taking the couch himself. He will definitely not be interested in trespassing onto the dorms to help a sloshed underage student find her room. Hey, maybe the two of them will run into certain people on their way back from a sushi restaurant! That would be gloriously awkward.

today in #9chickweedlane i learned we have to be shown children learning and relearning what sex is, for Reasons, even though they already clearly know and have prepared nuanced questions about it! also that Gran must hate, if she's still alive, how Old Juliette is the same but with gray hair

one of my favorite things is when a commenter explodes WHEN DO THESE CHARACTERS GET THERAPY but directed towards a character who canonically has a regular therapist

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).

JUST IN: Milwaukee Judge Hannah Dugan moves to dismiss federal criminal case against her for allegedly helping immigrant hide from ICE. Her lawyers say she's protected by official acts & judicial immunity and 10th Amendment. Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Where did Hollywood go so wrong? I thought movies were supposed to be an escape from reality, a chance to put your worries aside and not have to think about any underlying ideas or concepts. Well, not anymore. theonion.com/you-can...

You Can’t Even Watch A Movie Anymore Without Seeing Some Theme Explored
I’ve loved movies ever since I was a little kid. Just stepping into that dark theater, with the smell of fresh popcorn, was like being transported to a whole other world. It used to be so magical. But now I’m thinking about boycotting movies altogether. Why? Because I can’t seem to watch one anymore without […]

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."

Who can forget the Swiss-Austrian Union, or its famous capital - Istanbul.
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
