Isn’t this the bisexual stereotype? I may be confused, but the joke is that they never sit in chairs normally.

They are not joking, and some cars cannot adjust the angle or lateral position of the headrest without replacement. There are cars (like 2009 Lincoln MKZs, cough) that have headrests and seats that look and feel exactly like the image.

I owned one for about 3 years, and I still blame it for starting my weird neck/shoulder problems years later.

I think the voiceover was added for YouTube, but I’m pretty sure that footage came from a game in 1991 “Zero Wing”

This is just an impressive troll, right?

I mean, where you sign up says something about you, right?

Yarr.

Unpopular opinion (at least in the Fediverse): while mastodon exists and is nice (if a little harder to grasp), Threads actually has a sufficient user base to be considered a substitute for Xitter. I was watching it during the debates and there was lively enough conversation to be interesting and still unable to read every comment that tagged the debate in real time.

Down with centralized social media and all that, but just a suggestion if you miss the volume of posts and the centralized interface that Xitter dumps out.

Poison is generic. Venom is specific to normal method of delivery (e.g. snakes and bees).

Swallowing venom may or may not hurt you. Probably not a great idea, but there’s a better chance you’ll be okay.

Getting a known poison stabbed/injected intravenously seems likely to be pretty effective, but it depends on the mode of action. Blood goes everywhere in the body, so it will likely find its target eventually.

I had the same experience. Nano is great if you’re used to notepad or a generic, limited text editor.

Once you learn a terminal editor like eMacs or vim, why go back? So much less hand motion going to mouse, arrows, and back.

It’s remarkably difficult to really fuck up freebsd. On Linux, getting boots to fail is easy. FreeBSD is quite a bit more robust in that regard, as the base image isn’t updated piecemeal.

Hahaha. I feel dumber than a ferengi who can’t remember the rules of acquisition.

Thanks for your service!

In Pennsylvania, I believe liquor stores do have to scan ID for most purchases.

Bars don’t HAVE to scan. The age threshold is fairly arbitrary. That said, there are companies who do contract stings/spot checks at bars (contracted by the owner of the chain, usually) to make sure they’re carding everyone.

One of my friends lost a job because of said sting by an 35 year old employee (who definitely looked over 30) and a zero tolerance policy for failing said checks.

So it makes sense to me that the bar wouldn’t provide alcohol to anyone without ID. That’s how they were trained.

Love the comics.

Small feedback: could you make the text a little bigger relative to the image? On my tiny phone I have to zoom in to every panel individually to read it.
