But her retort was just awful. I tend to just toss bananas if I don't get to eat them the first day. They get mushy, start to smell and taste way to much like sweet vomit afterwards.

EDIT: Huh, I never knew I had such strong opinions about bananas. Thanks for making me realize an important and correct aspect of my character. I will treasure this and will probably never change my mind about that.

After one day??? Is your fridge broken, do you live directly on the equator, what is happening here???

Anyway, nthing the whole "holy poo poo this hits close to home" vibe. I can't tell you how much I hated my habitual niceness as a teenager, and it really feels real seeing it in a character. A+ writing.

Sadly, I can't say the same because I was an rear end in a top hat teenager so self-centered it crossed the line into solipsism. I never talked loud to myself like this for example, and even my thoughts were mostly centered around myself. It took embarrassingly long for me to "get" that there were other real people out there besides me. It does remind me of the incredible guilt and depression I got after I realized I had spend most of my childhood going through life like some sort of evil robot.

Aside from the depression, I also observed enough people to recognize this weird real-feeling thing in the writing. Now that I've written this down, I also realize that in some weird meta-fashion, it does hits close to home, even though my personal experience was wildly different. Well poo poo.

Don't put bananas in the fridge; their tropically-bred cell walls can't stand even slightly low temperatures, so they either never ripen or immediately over-ripen, depending on their level of ripeness when fridged.

Yeah, but not in a single day. I eat bananas quite often, and take about 2-3 days to eat every banana I bought, and I never had them over-ripen to the point where I would have to throw them away. (Also I'm a weirdo who likes his fruit cold.)

I had actually more trouble with strawberries ripening too fast in the fridge, those I have to eat in under 2 days or the fruits are too far gone

Reread the final chapter of It Hurts!! recently. The previous Mark was apparently also a grandmaster chess player. It's a core part of his identity that's a constant across universes. Dude fuckin' loves chess.

The funniest part of that comic was for me that I've lost chess matches in exactly the same way as Pasqualo multiple times. :v:

Cat Mattress posted:

Yes.

The whole thing about shooting his own hand to blind a weird fish with his blood so that he could stab it to death with a broken can was just a ruse to hide that he's the second coming of Jesus Christ.

My interpretation of that page was that he used his blood as bait, but to be honest, blinding it was the third thing I came up with.

(The second possibility I came up with was the blood somehow changing the way the water refracts light, allowing him to stab the fish with precision. Apparently one of the reasons it's hard to stab underwater-creatures from above the water is that air and water refract light differently, so our eyes have trouble to accurately predict distances when trying to hit something on the other side of an air/water border. And that has been your barely-remembered fishing fact from ages ago for today!)

i feel like a loving moron because i have no idea about anything that happened in poopy doopy

like i get that it was very loosely a parody of flcl just like how pretty cool dude miracleman was very loosely a parody of devilman, and larry the murderer is in both, but after that im lost

I'm kind of the opposite, I kind of think I got the gist of it, but I have no idea what you're talking about. I have this odd feeling I did not watch enough Anime to understand your post.

Seshoho Cian posted:

When I said they are loosely parodies, the word "loosely" is doing a lot of work. The most direct parody is the first issue of Pretty Cool Dude Miracleman, which is a reference to a scene from the old Devilman OVA. After that it diverges really wildly and basically follows none of the same plot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kCyIWL4Iio

As for Poopy Doopy, the most direct thing is just that the two women Larry kills are based on the protagonists of the different seasons of FLCL. Again other than that, it really has nothing to do with the show.

Oh wow, these references wooshed so far above my head they entered loving Lunar orbit. :v:

And FLCL had seasons??? Clearly, I'm not watching Anime enough

RandomPauI posted:

What does it mean? People give up pets for allergies? Pets get eye boogers if ignored?

I've interpreted it as a reminder to what happens to pets you get as a surprise gift from a shelter: They get inevitably given back to a shelter. And as many pets in an animal shelter are traumatized to begin with, this begins an endless spiral of a pet being given to another family, but since it's hard to deal with thanks to bad experiences, it gets given back again and the added bad experience makes it even harder to deal with the next family trying, and so on.

It often ends with pets being so traumatized and maladjusted, they're basically forced to stay at the shelter forever, as eventually the endless stream of broken homes ends with no-one wanting to try with them anymore.

Horley has been present from the first page of the comic; where he's not visible it's typically because the panel's framing places him behind the 'fourth wall' in the room with the reader

The thing with angels makes me think the authors behind Earthdawn must have been inspired by the Abrahamic religions, as the thing which birthed the horrors, an entity known as Verjigorm, also eventually spawned the Dragons, which then in turn made us.

So you could argue that Earthdawn-horrors are really angels. :v:

Man, I wish I could do that. The last time this happened to me, I smashed the door closed with so much force it sprang up again and a bowl of glass fell out and exploded on the ground.
