On one hand I am of the opinion that they should have just built replicas of the World Trade Center buildings instead of this dumb Freedom Tower. Maybe a foot taller each or something. On the other hand why did I read that

"We shouldn't be appeasing these people, we should be proud and say 'gently caress you' to anyone who doesn't like it, and also this generation is too vain and arrogant." What the gently caress Muir? Normally you wait until a couple comics later to blatantly contradict yourself.

I know the "if global warming then why snow" cartoons always come but they still make me want to claw my eyes out.prefect posted:To be fair, the warning labels on CFL packaging can be a little frightening if you actually read them. I remember one of them saying that you had to open all the windows in your house if you broke a bulb, so the mercury vapors could air out. I believe if you break a CFL bulb in a confined space like a bedroom you're advised to open up the windows to let the room air out for a bit. That said, there are a bunch of things in everyone's house that can be hazardous when they break or malfunction so panicking over a broken light bulb has always been dumb.

Maybe the most irritating thing about them is that the idiots that espouse the argument either don't accept or they just ignore the corollary: global warming must be true because summer is hot.

Yeah, glue a bunch of massively protruding poo poo all over the building so when it gets destroyed / falls down due to lovely code it takes as much of New York with it as possible. Also "I would build something twice as large in half the time." - You can't even fix you goddamn leaking roof you worthless sack of poo poo.

Two cruciform skyscrapers teetering over a "BBQ pork pit" is without question the most hilariously demented and grotesque thing I could imagine as a 9-11 memorial. I was about to ask how this man functions in the real world but I'm guessing he doesn't. The specificity of "pork" was intentional, right? I think I might be veering off into madness from that first image so it's hard to say.

Muir won't be happy until the World Trade Center replacement is a giant cross with "gently caress Muslims" written across it in bright glowing letters and we shall call it The Obama Sucks And Veterans Rule Center For American Jesus.

Bender posted:Haha just look at the scale of that loving building. That's something a kindergartner would think up. I remember like a year or two after 9/11 there was a CNN, possibly, online submission "what should we replace the towers with" and this very thing was submitted drawn like a child's scrawling of a giant gently caress-off crucifix along with the comment "Just a humble suggestion from the top of the world, Sweden!  " I don't think I'll ever forget that. I'll forget 9/11 before I forget that someone thought there was a top of the world and that it mattered who lived there, and imagining some poor shlub office workers at the far end of the arms shaking like an earthquake as they bobbed up and down and the wind shear stresses twisted the hallways. Someone would look out the window at the manhattan skyline bobbing like an ocean of concrete and steel and feel as if some mad titan had picked up his building and was shaking him ever closer to the window. Pens flying all out of his desk mug and onto the floor, his far side comics coming unpinned and the coffee machine never staying upright. Janice in the high heels falling over and Dramamine just not cutting it today. I can't get this theoretical office at the end of the arm out of my mind.

VitalSigns posted:Never changes. Thing is, despite Chaucer looking odd there are only four words in your entire quoted passage that aren't alternate spellings/pronunciations of words in use today and the major grammatical change is a different order for subjects, objects and nouns. quote:Whan that Aprill, with his shoures soote Transliterating gives: When that April, with his showers sweet The drought of March has pierced to the root And bathed every vein in such liquor Of which virtue engendered is the flower When Zephyrus also with his sweet breath Inspired has in every home and hearth The tender crops, and the young son Has in the Ram his half course run And small fowls making melody That sleep all the night with open eye So pricks them Nature in their spirits Then long (v.) folk to go on pilgrimages And palmers for to seek strange strands To foreign halls, known in sundry lands And especially from every shire's end Of England, to Canterbury they wend The holy blissful martyr for to seek That them has helped, when that they were sick.

I can't believe they're still talking about cfls when everyone knows it's all about the new generation of LED bulbs. Looking forward to that crop of cartoons. Things which were disposable and wasteful when I was 12 have become durable and efficient Decent crotchety old men would at least only complain about stuff getting cheap and lovely.
