Damn, I already bought it!

..... 13 years ago....

But I can use this when gifting to people, right? There's a couple people I want to send these as a gift to get them to play it.

If not well then I guess I can't be super passive aggressive in telling them to play it because they don't have an excuse anymore and actually have to use words...

follow their instructions

I'm white.

I have been stopped, at gunpoint, by cops who were both screaming different things ranging from "get off the bike" to "get on the ground", "turn around", "face us and walk forward with your hands out", and "drop your bag" which for the record was strapped to my back with a waist belt on.

Luckily another car rolled up seconds later and when one of the cops inside ran over to them they exchanged a few sentences and then the ones that were pointing guns at me seconds before, one says "you're good to go." and the first two leave like nothing happened. The ones that came up a minute behind came over and told me someone was purse-snatched at a specific shoe store across town and fled on a green bicycle 10 minutes beforehand. I was about 6 miles away, and riding a red bike

I fully believe that if the first cops had stopped someone who wasn't white, or if I had tried reaching for my waist buckle on my bag, they would have opened fire.

LMAO "just follow their orders" what a fucking joke.

Imagine how much of an insecure, whiny little baby you have to be to look at a LITERAL CHILD and say "yep. I'm picking a fight with this CHILD"

Sure would be a shame if [REDACTED] happened to these board members and pigs.

That microscope looks a lot like a pair of binoculars glued to a small sewing machine...

Not that I'm trying to pick apart a darkly funny comic meant to hilight the bleak future we seem to be barreling towards.... But where do they get their nutrient paste?

I don't see a greenhouse so actual food is unlikely, and given the barren nature of their surroundings, either the dwelling is embedded into rock, or they don't go anywhere outside, hence the lack of a path or tracks. So no buying food.

Are they immortal? Cursed to live on a dead rock until the sun expands past the orbit of the earth? (I choose to believe this)

And here I thought my day was bad...

You go right ahead and ignore the lever, I'm sure all the people on both sets of tracks understand you not wanting to get involved since it doesn't benefit you to pull it.

I own several cowboy hats, which I wear around town.

It took me until this part to recognize it.

"I own several kimonos, which I wear around town"

Well done. 10/10.

How long until someone says "hamas infiltrated them"?

Taking all bets, I'm giving it 24 hours!

My wife has issues involving texture and trauma specifically at the dentist office, so I usually accompany her to appointments. So far no office has had an issue.

One time though, she needed to have those spacers put in her teeth, and she told the dentist and hygienist that she would throw up if it was in too long, and that she WILL bite down if there's sharp pain, so use slightly more local anesthetic than normal and wait a little longer for it to work well.

They rushed.

She bit.

The moment I heard the cry of pain and felt my wife squeezing my hand super hard, I already knew what happened without having to look around anything.

I just said "And that's why we told you to wait longer. You were warned."

They were Super chill about everything, all things considered. I know I'd be pissed if I got bit by someone while doing my job, even if that job was literally their teeth.

The fact that even when trying to be dystopian as fuck, depressingly bad, showcasing the worst decisions that the more aggressive (and let's be honest, savage by comparison) people of the past, they give humanity WAY too much credit.

Not a chance in hell anyone would create special areas for homeless people unless there were some ulterior motive. Because even though the cost of housing and programs to educate, therapy to help with any issues stemming from homelessness or mental disorders (including many that you will likely get just from being homeless that never showed up before) and substance abuse problems (that again, likely were not present pre-homelessness) is WAY lower than what we pay to "deal with it" the way we do, everyone just kind of seems okay with how the homeless get treated.

And when you are watching 27 different angles of a bunch of people filming cops going around beating homeless people and dragging out of tents by their hair in order to burn them down with all the possessions inside, and nobody fucking lifts a finger to help those being opressed, it really winks in that maybe we don't deserve to make it past the bell riots.

Because even the shitty oppressive government of a fictional universe where most governments are completely changed, gone or barely dangling by a thread is a hell of a lot better than the shit we're stuck with.

Season 9?

Hmm.

Don't seem to ever recall a season 9.

However, season 8 finished the series off with a banger, and introduced me to a fantastic song in the process.

Personally I'm glad nobody ever did something dumb like try to shoehorn in a spinoff at the end, that would have been a disaster.
