I had to google that comic. What's especially wrong with that comic besides 90% of them involving naked women for no story related reason?

Funny story. A friend of mine stole a girls drink that had probably been laced. In total he had drank 2 beers and whatever she had and after his legs turned to spaghetti. He was sitting on the ground and desperately clinging to a light post to not fall down completely.

This is a good outcome; the bad outcome would be either (a) GRRM continues himself but has George-Lucas syndrome and writes absolute poo poo that no one has the balls to tell him is bad because he's famous now, or (b) it's less a Sanderson-finishing-WoT scenario and more a Brian-Herbert-finishing-Dune scenario

Hey now Dune went batshit bonkers while Frank Herbert was still alive.


If he had died after the first book and his son had continued as the series did. People would have accused him of turning the whole franchise on its head and being completely out of contact with the original vision.

That's relative. It was batshit in the same way that Freddy VS Jason was and then they went to space but Dune was already in space so it just turned into an inverted candy cane of lunacy that travelled through time in the yellow submarine.

Well several fringe far right groups tried to hi-jack supported OWS. It appealed to them as a populist movement against big global monopolies. It didn't help that the main scarecrow targeted by the protests was Goldman Sachs a big global banking firm with a Jewish sounding name -which Ben seems to have always had a fixation on- whereas other equally shady and large banks and investment companies like Deustche bank were mostly ignored.

The name Deustche bank probably conjures images of SS stormtroopers which makes it hard for people like Garrison to hate them.

Unfortunately, bug-chasers are a real thing.

Like any other group, we LGBTs have our problem children.

I'm sad to say I did a lot of reading on this subject after a religious guy threw it in my face about a decade ago.

"bug catching" and "Gift giving" is overwhelming (rare as it even is) a fantasy thing. Like people will write stories about it, read and talk about it but in practise it was and remains rare to the point of significance.

However the idea that the devious gays hold "catch aids parties" was a prevalent and powerful tool.

I don't really like these because more often than not. MLK being portrayed as disappointed is used by racists to refer to modern day civil rights movements.

I promise that racists could easily use maga cap MLK in a post against BLM without a single edit needed.

England has a history of not understanding foreign crisis's. See the great famine of Ireland where official government policy was that the famine was the punishment of god on the Irish. Meanwhile England continued food export from Ireland to sell.

A Nazi sympathizer using Israel as a positive example? This is like those “the Holocaust never happened but I wish it had” arguments.

Most nazis tend to be pro-Israel because it gives them some place far away to point to where the jews belong and should be deported.

Without an Israel the nazis would have had to be up front about where they really think we should put the jews.

The Fins are the worlds most racist people and probably hold the silver and bronze medal too. Like first generation Finish immigrants in other countries will be racist towards non-white immigrants quicker than the native population. Not in an attempt to fit in with the locals or anything because the fins will be racist towards them too. Even if the locals are white.

The only coherent argument I could find is as follows:
Drunk driving laws criminalize a specific BAC. However, it is practically impossible for someone to know what their current BAC is. Rough calculations and guesses work reasonably well, but still leave a fuzzy area. As such, under the current law it is impossible to know if you are breaking the law or not while driving, if you have been drinking at all. Furthermore, the law is targeting a specific state of being, the contents of your blood rather than the consequences of your actions. Therefore, drunk driving laws should be abolished, in favor of A)harsh punishments for actually causing an accident and B)penalties for reckless/impaired driving based on external factors rather than a binary check of blood alchocol.

There's no reason not to play it safe when it comes to human lives. Driving with alcohol in your blood is by definition reckless behaviour. Even if you feel fine your reaction and judgement is impaired and driving a car is in itself a privilege. There's no reason what so ever why someone should *need* to drive with alcohol in the blood. It's a choice you make and for all the wrong reasons.

Where I live the limit is 0.02% and people are not really having a problem with that. Just don't drive the day after you drink. Unless you only had one or two beers then you should be fine.

All cops have breathalysers and all drivers are tested as a matter of routine when stopped by the police.

Police set up checkpoints on Saturday and Sunday mornings where they pull in all cars on a major road and give all drivers breathalyser tests and check their license.

If you do get caught above 0,02% then you get fined based on your income (About 1 months wage, -10% per child or +12% if your total wealth is over $150k) your license is suspended for a year. You may get it back sooner if you have an alcohol lock installed in your car.

If your level is 0,1% or higher your license is suspended for 2 years. Instead of getting it back you have to take a new license from scratch like when you first earned it. You get fined (About 3-4 monthly wages) The minimum sentencing for this is prison but the prison sentence will be converted to community service if it's your first conviction for drunk driving.


If you're unsure of your BAC just don't drive. Or don't drink if you know you need to drive the day after.

In whole countries this is considered common sense. You can drive the day after a few beers but if you went to the bar on Friday night then you take a cab or bus home and don't drive at all on Saturday.

You need to give your body time to process the alcohol out of your system, and that varies depending on how much you have and your persona metabolism. It's possible to drink so much/metabolize alcohol so slowly that you still wake up drunk after a full nights sleep. More commonly you have a bunch of people who stopped drinking only a few hours before, caught a little sleep, and then get busted for a DUI in the morning because they're still pissed.

Katt must come from some place with some intense drinkers if waking up drunk is normal enough to make 'don't drive a whole day after drinking a lot' common wisdom.

(P.S. don't' drive with a bad hangover either)

It's not about people waking up drunk. It's about people waking up and feeling fine but with enough alcohol left to impair judgement and reaction time in traffic.

This does speak to me when I think about the number of smokers who lecture me on the hazards of eating pasta and any food that contains "e markings"

You would think that smokers would be permanently banned from lecturing people on unhealthy habits. But so many people are smokers that by consensus they collectively decided that smoking doesn't count. So they will admit to one another that they could do with eating less carbs and to sneaking the occasional sugary snack which they feel guilty about. But smoking is not to be mentioned.

It's as if the adverse health effects of canned tuna, refined sugar and GMOs is obvious. But smoking is more a matter of opinion.

So in 4000 years when a super volcano has wiped out 95% of the worlds population and the remainder has built society back up from scratch. When 1850 style industrialists are working on a mine and encounter our nuclear waste. They may get the idea.
