One of their responses?

"Think of this as a declaration of intent."

SJWs always double down.

Watterson himself said he doesn't consider Hobbes part of Calvin's imagination, and that Hobbes was more about "the subjective nature of reality" than about dolls coming to life.

Source: the Tenth Anniversary Book, possibly the only publication where Watterson talks at length about each character.

God, that was disappointing to read. Reality is objective.

I used to praise Australia for exactly one thing:

In Australia, game show winnings are not taxable. You win ten thousand dollars, you get ten thousand dollars.

But all their other taxes are so high that this becomes a moot point.

I'm just a lifelong fan of game shows.

Reminds me of that meme comic (NOT OFFICIAL) where Calvin is talking to Hobbes while doing his homework, says his parents are saying "the pills must be working," and both their imaginations are being dulled as to what else to do that day, Calvin tells him to be quiet so he can finish, Hobbes says no more, and the last panel is Hobbes as just a plush tiger doll, symbolizing that Calvin's imagination has been neutered by the "medication."

It was a really sad comic. Very Watterson-like. I'm glad it wasn't the real last comic, though.

As someone who used to be on Ritalin as a kid, it's completely true. It kills your imagination and turns you into just another drone.

The one good thing about Metaphor: ReFantazio is that one woman who, through personal experience, gradually realizes her socialist economic views don't work in practice.

As an ex-leftist, that was a bitter pill for me to swallow, too.

Remember those few minutes when they thought they'd flipped TEXAS?

Pareidolia is the phenomenon where you see faces in non-living things, such as a plug socket.

What's the word for THIS?

Perhaps I should've put a "just" in there.

In fact, I think I will. You can click the eraser to see the original anyway.

You Can (Not) Rephrase

It's Trump-sama.

One reason I so adore Gurren Lagann even after all these years is because that's exactly what happens.

Sailor Moon was an anime for little kids, but it still fucking resonated.

This is why "Christian Science" (that's the name of his sect) has always rubbed me the wrong way.

We live in a fallen world. You're going to need medicine. Get it.

At least, do your research first. I don't trust doctors now either.

Pro tip: fenbendazole.

Fun fact: He imitated Jim Morrison's voice so well that he fooled the surviving members of The Doors into thinking it was actually Morrison.

I just feel awful for Val Kilmer.

Great actor who lost his voice to throat cancer.

He met his wife working on Willow.
