Mine is like you, but much more general: trying to argue. Period. Doesn’t matter with whom. People of all kinds don’t like to have their views challenged.

They’re the one in the mirror. 😉

I gave my oldest son (12-yo) this talk the other day. Hopefully he took it to heart.

You are not alone.

Hopefully OP didn’t use up all their luck on broccoli.

Quitters never win!

It’s like clapping. It hasn’t stopped. It’s just the time between stanzas has been increasing.

Oh, please tell me you’re being serious. Pretty please? 🥺

Ok, probably a bullshit story; at least exaggerated all to Hell. But, and hear me out, the message is on point.

You don’t know who you’re inspiring by the things you’re doing. Something to think about the next time you start thinking about giving up. 🤷‍♂️

Nah. Fuck OED. They’re not the only game in town.

He gets one bad review…. Geesh.

Since it’s Fry answering the question, the answer is B 0%.

There are over 8 billion people in this world. No one said it was limited to just your lifetime. 😏

That is some pathetic attempt at deflection you got going on there. I’d call it gaslighting, but I don’t want to insult actual gaslighting.

This bears repeating:

These issues are not mutually exclusive, and it is legitimately okay for one marginalized group to be concerned more for things that directly affect them. That does not in any way negate the urgency or importance of any other issues.

We need to stop treating everything going on as a binary (black and white) problem. That’s what they want us to do, and why we’re being bombarded with so many bad things all at once. They are purposely dividing us, and so far it’s working.

There is a movie called Good Will Hunting, where the janitor (Matt Daemon) is a math prodigy and befriends a professor therapist (Robin Williams).

This comic is a role reversal of that movie.

Edit: thank you to @mzesumzira@leminal.space for the correction, and the gentle reminder that I need to rewatch this movie. 😁

No, it’s religion thats at the root of this (and many) problem(s).

I guess we will find out. Hopefully sooner rather than any later than it’s already been.

~We certainly live in interesting times.~
