Cubone posted:

actually, you like dogs AND rabbits
first of all you want to give dogs big belly scratches that make their back legs go crazy and also pretend to throw things but not actually throw them and watch the dog go looking for them and then reveal you had it the whole time and ask who's a good dog? (it's them)
furthermore, you want to feed rabbits leafy greens and watch it disappear into their chubby little rabbit mouth and watch them clean their little faces with their little paws and their big ol expressive ears and snuggle the lil fuzzy muffins up against your chest and just generally appreciate their tiny mammalian love

i'm not sure why you would lie about this tbf

1) I wasn't sure what its head was photoshopped over - like, I couldn't really tell what was going on in the comic there and 2) I know absolutely nothing about Doomsday (I only realized that was Doomsday's head through context), so I don't know how ridiculous it would be to try to talk to him because I don't know how bad of a guy he is.

Not having an understanding of the context doesn't make me humorless, jerk.

BravestOfTheLamps posted:

This show seems to be written by people who revere the idea of adventure, but have absolutely no idea how to write or structure one. An adventure is that which is unexpected and undesired, and must be undergone to reach some goal. The show on the other hand features ducks who talk about adventures, how they want to go on adventures, how much their lives involve adventure, what great adventures have happened in the past, and what kind of adventure they’re having right now – and consequently never experience a real adventure, because that would imply a departure from normality.

The episode where they go to Atlantis makes for a great example because it can be directly compared with a story by Carl Barks, The Secret of Atlantis. This particular story also has the advantage in that it’s an ideal illustration of the relationship between the normal and the abnormal in Duckburg. The first half of the story sets up why the ducks go to Atlantis, but has nothing to do with Atlantis, and is instead set squarely in reality.

It’s a cartoon reality of talking animals, pie fights, and giant money bins, admittedly, but is also completely mundane in a way. It revolves around coin collecting, which one of the most banal things imaginable, and opens with a scene of accounting, which probably is the most banal thing imaginable. The story escalates through cartoon logic – Scrooge McDuck dumping all 1916 quarter coins into the sea save for one to artificially create a collector’s item – and enters the realm of comic fantasy when it gets into Atlantis.

There’s a lot of things you can say about the Atlantis sequence, because despite being very silly, there are nuances to it. You can note the satirical dimension in how even at the bottom of the sea you can’t escape American mass culture. And you can note Barks valorised exploration, but was evidently aware of the human costs of all those great discoveries, which is why there’s a note of seriousness that underlines a light-hearted story.



Or you might notice that this is one of those times when homo sapiens slip into a Duck comic, since Atlanteans were unambiguously humans before evolving gills, and not those weird dog-people that usually populate the place.

But what’s important for our purpose is that it’s as story about discovery that has its webbed feet planted firmly in its strange version of reality, best illustrated when Donald Duck is amazed by the sights of Atlantis while Scrooge couldn’t care less because he’s after his 1916 quarters.



The idea that Atlantis and mermen exist is enough to drive the sequence, and there’s minimal complications to this. Barks spends time explaining the origin of Atlantis and its inhabitants because those things are interesting on their own. There’s also a good moral, as the ducks’ escape hinges on Huey, Dewey, and Louie wanting to learn about history and culture, unlike the opportunistic adults.



And there’s weight to the ducks escaping. First because in this comic actions can have momentous consequences, like a fantastical civilization collapsing because of colonialism. Secondly, because they’re escaping into normality – a world where people live in an everyday society, where they have jobs and fiscal responsibilities, where children go to school and spend time as Boy Scouts. That probably doesn’t sound impressive, at least if you haven’t seen Jeff Smith use it as the foundations of a whole fantasy epic.

It’s the kind of reality that Ducktales (2017) seems to abhor and does it best to escape. The fact that monstrous mer-ducks exist is just a sight gag, when it seems like something Barks would have spent a whole story on. The show’s reality is so over-the-top that contrast between the everyday and the adventurous becomes impossible. One might make the argument that the show is trying to be faithful to the old cartoon than the comics, but from what little I recall, the original Ducktales didn’t have this problem either. It had a more conventional sense of “reality” and adventure, more in line with the comics. It’s simply strange to see the creators pay homage to Barks but also be hell-bent on not learn anything from him.

Alright, so the issue here is that people always always always wimp out when bit by a dog. That simply trains the dog to bite you MORE, not less. You have to think like a dog to deal with these kinds of dog communiques. The dog, through the medium of physical violence, is speaking to you. So you must, in turn, speak to it. If a dog bites you, you loving bite it back. Humans are the top of the death heap due to our intellectual flexibility, aerobic endurance, and aerodynamic bodies. Don't let this less evolved creature intimidate you because it has teeth. So do you. Bite it in the throat and punch it in the head.

I [20's M] saw some pretty clearly visible sex toys in the main room of my fiends [mid 20's] house.

Long story short because I hate long posts on here too. I went to a buddies house to play videogames with him and a bunch of friends. My eyes tend to wander around the room because I get pretty antsy, and I noticed some sort of vibrator and a large bottle of lube pretty plainly exposed under my best friends desk. My best bud has a light form of autism, he's very lonely, and I know he spends some time in chat rooms with girls, possibly guys who are in his same boat. I do not care about his sexuality, we never talk about it. His business is entirely his own, that's not why I'm posting anyway.

My only concern is that he's neglecting to put this stuff away. Our other friends are not going to be as understanding if they found this stuff. So I kind of grabbed my shoe and pretended to get "mad" at the game and slid it over to knock down the bottle and the dildo, pushing it deep under the desk. I quickly retrieved my shoe before my friends did and I apologized for my "outburst" and we quickly resumed playing. No one mentioned the bottle or toy and I'm 99% sure no one but me saw or realized what they were looking it. He didn't notice the slide, I dont think he even realizes the toys were left out.

My question: how do I approach telling him that he should probably be putting his sex toys away? I've seen it before, I just didn't realize what it was until tonight. My buddy already has a pretty tough time socializing and we live in a rural area that's not very accepting. We love our friends, but I dunno if this would change things and frankly, I want to save him the embarrassment.

tl;dr: My buddy frequents chat rooms, he left his dildo and lube out, our friends are kind of conservative, and his autism ostracizes him enough. The post is kind of short, if you could please read the whole thing, I'd appreciate it! Please help me.
