But...But he's a hologram. How the gently caress is he even making that call? Is he going to generate his own hologram of his partner? :psyduck:


Ahhh, there's my favorite running gag in Modesty Blaise: Goons going "OH gently caress! :stonk:" when they recognize who they're up against.


So Luann knows that Ann Eiffel is an awful person who hosed over everyone, including her brother, and she's only just now telling her mom that little factoid. God, Luann sucks.


Jesus Christ, Lynn didn't even bother to ask if she can talk to her son. And the uncle was the one who called her and told her how Michael's doing, so you just know it wouldn't even cross Lynn's mind to be the one to call and check up on how her kid's doing.

This, on the other hand? I hate this. I hate that "let's poo poo on Dustin" is the punchline more often than not, because he doesn't deserve it.

Get Fuzzy 7/23/00



Brenda Starr 2/22/42



Let’s recap this story, shall we?

- Mr. Boomwell wants to see if his wife is loyal, so he fakes a kidnapping, hiring Cupid and his gang to make it look believable.

- Mrs. Boomwell just throws away the ransom notes, hoping to become a widow. Her maid takes them to Detective Traverts, who lets Brenda and Tom listen in on her explanation.

- Brenda and Tom go investigating and get captured by Cupid and his gang. Cupid beats them both up and forces Brenda to cook for his gang, which she enjoys way too much.

- Mr. Boomwell finds out about the captured reporters and has them brought to him and explains the whole thing. Meanwhile, Mrs. Boomwell finds out the maid has been going behind her back and tries to kill her.

- Mr. Boomwell changes his will to leave everything to the maid, and then apparently does a murder-suicide by plane with himself and his wife.

- Cupid and his gang walk away scot free.

“This story in the Flash will cheer the hearts of millions,” indeed.

Sorry to double-post but Christ that WD was bugging the poo poo out of me. Working Daze's extra "punchlines" drive me nuts, so I spent 10 minutes slapping this together just to prove how easy it'd be to make it less terrible.

This is a reference to a hugely popular concept from the '70s, Inner Tennis. Unusually for a self-help book, it's actually been somewhat supported by neuroscience. The claim is that the conscious part of you is not the part of you that actually does things and that by trying to control yourself to stop mistakes you'll actually make them worse. Instead Gallwey says you should just let yourself do things, and your consciousness should just observe.

Roughly contemporary research by Benjamin Libet showed that the brain actually initiates a voluntary motion approximately half a second before the conscious mind thinks it had made the decision. Since it take about half a second for your consciousness to notice anything, that means your brain as a whole makes a decision, and your conscious is merely noticing it and "claiming credit".

I can experience Libet's delay directly by paying attention to all the muscles of my body at the same time - finger, toes, calves, back, arms, face, etc. This overloads the conscious, which has a limited processing ability and I become directly aware that the parts of my body are moving before I "decide" to (or in some cases, I'm not even "deciding", meaning the decisions are happening subconsciously and not even rising to consciousness.)

Libet's delay is particularly critical with physical actions in games since there's no chance to re-do them. So Gallwey's idea works because the conscious mind really is mostly just an observer of the mind as a whole. It does actually have the ability to "abort" actions and this is often a very important thing, but in reflex physical actions there's not enough time for a useful intervention so it's best just to let things happen and have your conscious "file away" observations to work on later.

It looks like a moustache, except it's flesh-coloured and not separated from the rest of the face?

She not only hosed with both of Nancy's kids and all their friends, but she also hosed with Nancy's business, having run a scam out of the Fuse. A scam Luann definitely knew about because she fell for it. If this is the first time that Nancy is hearing about it, then wow.
