I lurked on the SA thread and lurked here when it got gassed. Then I got an account here the day Season 2 aired because I wanted to talk about it.

I joined in September when that one frontpage article went viral, along with like a dozen other people.

I found a half-eaten mouse in my kitchen.

In a house with 5 cats, the mouse had no chance.

My apartment floor is soo uneven at certain spots that I have to gap 1.5cm (0.59''), 2.2cm (0.86'') to make the table even.

IDK how many people here still go to SA, but Lowtax has serious health issues and is severely in debt because of it. He started up a Patreon to help keep the SA forums going. Even though we were driven away from their site, we owe our existence to SA and I still very much enjoy SAS, so I am now donating monthly.

The relative good news is that it he's now got a pretty good chunk of change coming through, it looks like. Even if a lot of those are the people who plan to cancel after one month, several months of that could help Lowtax put a dent in his bills.

Lowtax has pissed me off a lot in the past and he's far from being the greatest person but the slice of humanity that deserves something like what has happened to him is very slim and he's not in it.

There's also the fact that I met the love of my life in the LGBT thread on SA nearly 10 years ago, so I feel like I kinda owe him for indirectly introducing us. :3:

I spend a lot of my working hours reading SA, so by right Lowtax deserves a share of my salary. I’ll add myself to the donation list.

Lowtax is far from a great person and I would never say I like the guy but he absolutely doesn't deserve the healthcare hellscape of the US and all the associated problems and thus I bought a few avatars for folks and put myself into the lowest Patreon tier

It IS a good feeling to see that even the most cynical, smug pricks on the internet can band together and show that they give a shit. Warms my heart. :flutterunsmith:

Also I brought up the fundraiser in the megathread where I gifted folks avatars and everyone of them took that and paid it forward so in a tiny way I carried the momentum and that's a good feeling too

Newspaper Spider-Man is ending soon, going on hiatus, and maybe being rebooted with a new creative team. :cry:

This is tragic news with the strip finally reaching perfection in its current storyline, where Mary Jane saves Spiderman and Luke Cage from a purple man by clocking him with a pipe and throwing a tarp over him.

Is there any chance the new creative team just decides to embrace the insanity?

I'm reading about the old giant robot anime "Gigantor". When they dubbed the show in English, they gave the characters REALLY descriptive names. The genius scientist character, for example, was renamed Bob Brilliant. The kid who controls the robot was named Jimmy Sparks.

The anime also had a secret agent character that helped the heroes. His name in the American dub?

Dick Strong :-I

Ever look at really old newspaper comics? One thing I noticed it that quite a few strips centering on kids ended with them getting physically disciplined. Like, LOTS. 9 times out of 10 that was the punchline.

Image

Case in point: the dad beats his kid with a 2x4. Damn.

You really want to punch some holes in that 2x4 so you get less wind resistance on your swing. :twience:

What's interesting in these old comics are things referenced which are still around today, and some things which aren't. Like apparently the phrase "Tag, you're it" is unchanged since at least 1904. And the visual big-ball-of-fists shorthand to represent a fight was thing even then.

But here's something that hasn't endured: speech bubbles with quotation marks. You don't need quote marks, old-timey cartoonists! That's what the bubbles are for!

Today I witnessed the weirdest failure of an electronic device I've ever seen: My clock radio, which I haven't actually used as a radio in years, randomly turned itself on early in the morning. I had to wrestle with the switch a bit to make it stop. And then it came on again this afternoon, and now it's just always on no matter how the switch is set.

It's also, I'm realizing, the first time I've personally seen a Sony device fail on a hardware level. I have no need for a radio in the house anymore, but I'm gonna have to take it apart anyway just to see if I can figure out what the problem is. It's just too weird not to.
