Honestly, I've lived in several other countries. The post is actually par for the course, including places many Americans wouldn't think of as oppressive. US flag etiquette might even be more lax. For example, the huge flag ceremony that Mexican kids do every week is significantly longer and more involved than our pledge of allegiance and their national anthem mentions drenching their flag in the blood of their enemies.

I remember eating some hardtack at a middle school assembly. I'm surprised I only lost one tooth.

My thoughts exactly.

That was me until I couldn't get them cheap/free anymore. You'd think a person would value someone with some skills in fiscal responsibility.

Oh no, no, no, my friend. When she hits you with this sort of comment, you say, "Oh thanks for picking up the check. I really was going to get it, but if you insist..." And then just walk off, preferably with something expensive to-go

Ok. That's fine. But there's actually a difference between an earned title and a pronoun. I didn't have to go through the better part of a decade of advanced education in how to use the bathroom while standing (along with an additional several months of internships in similar coursework) before I could be called "sir". I think that's where the artist actually fails to make the point that they were trying to. If we want to engage people we disagree with, we need to make thoughtful points that hold up, rather snarky comments that collapse under scrutiny.

Yeah, I think that explains why I feel this one missed the mark for what it was trying to do. What the priest is referring to with regard to his own address is an earned title, which is a different thing than a pronoun. To become a Catholic priest often requires at least an M Div, and may include a Th.M or D.Min., and then there's the ordination process at a minimum of several months later. To adhere to the parallel the comic artist wishes to put forth here would mean something equivalent to a trans-man needing to take 8-11 years of post-secondary and graduate level courses and internships in mansplaining, scratching yourself in public, overcompensating, doing that thing where you step just a little weird so you can adjust yourself in public without anyone knowing but really everyone knows what you're doing, etc. before they can be called "sir". No disrespect meant to anyone. The artist just didn't compare apples to apples in making their point.

Look at Mr. Fancy Pants over here with two jobs.

Why not? Wouldn't see it coming.

To blathe. As we all know, it means "to bluff."

I'll have you know that my second grader is waaaaayyyy more respectful than Trump and likely knows more about Mexico than him, too.

And they can't be bothered to use the correct alphabet.

Yes, I can, immediately followed by, "Aaawwwww, I'm just kidding! We all know what a crook he is. They're all crooks he and Crooked Hillary. Hillary... Hillary.... Speaking of Hillary, Hillary Duff. You seen that How I Met Your Father? What a mess! That show was terrible. Not nearly as good as the original, which we all remember. You remember, right? It has that great hero Barney. Now that guy! And of course, who could forget about Robin? Robin. Just like Sleepy Joe is robbin' the election. And not for the first time. He's clearly on crack over there, as anyone can see. Anyway, what was I talking about? Oh right! Israel..."

What tour?

But they didn't answer the question. The question was about why Reagan was polarizing. This guy's response was that he was a happy guy that made the country feel happy in a sad time. How is that polarizing?

An answer that talks about why he was polarizing might say something like people who agreed with him did pretty well during his administration, but people who didn't got ignored and were left behind. When that happens, people who agree with that type of leader typically don't see their glaring faults, and those who get hosed don't really have patience left to hear about any possible good that they might have done.

Not Gary, Indiana

Watership Down

I love how he monkeys around with the character.

-Hey! Wait! No! I wasn't calling you a monkey, I was saying- Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Also, he clearly doesn't have kids. Even a good day typically involves at least 30 minutes of trying to get them out of bed.

That sounds about right.

Seriously, I ran multiple experiments over years that had similar results. Someone else shared their results with clicker (I don't use clicker, so I have to trust their numbers). Offline still came out better . Don't believe me, run some tests for yourself. I know what it should be. However, it's an open secret that the game's pretty buggy. This is one area where that's the case. Reality doesn't match up with the game's claims. It never has on this issue. Several years ago, it used to be that it underpaid. Now it swings the other way. That's how I used to consistently win events in just a couple hours.

Mmmm. Open faced club sand wedge.

Is it tho?

Quite possibly. Hypothetically speaking, if someone with zero political experience and no military history were to beat out someone with decades of experience in the political realm, I think that could be one of the most shocking upsets in the history of the country. Now, remember, we're talking hypothetically. It's not necessarily about anyone in specific. Right?
