That’s just a normal large/specialty utensil drawer.

Starting with games like Rad Racer and RC Pro Am on the NES, I must have put 10s of thousands of hours into hundreds of different racing games over the years. But try to talk to anyone about it, and it’s all gatekeeping all the time.

“Your favorite is too arcade-y for a real fan, noob.” “You turn on anti-lock braking? You aren’t sophisticated enough to join my clan, peasant.” Shit like that. I’m sure lots of other genres have similar fuckwads that think they are the gods of the gaming world.

This is the most correct explanation, but the first panel is still written poorly.

“Not to be racist, but” implies he’s about to do something that could be interpreted as racist. They both know it’s the watermelon candy that would carry that baggage. It would make more sense to say “I’m not racist, so here’s a blue jolly rancher.”

The American sports convention is to list the visiting team first.

Regardless of ideology, there are just some people with whom you will never be able to have a rational discussion.

Tankie authoritarians…maga incels…the block button works on them all.

Best - find a new job and quit when the new one is all lined up.
Next - get laid off and collect any severance and unemployment benefits while you search.
Worst - quit with nothing else lined up, struggle while you get back on your feet.

The “unexpected” mixing of upper and lower case looks more like a shit explanation of wanting all the letters to be curvy, but the same size.

Bob Barker only died a year ago. I thought for a long time he had gone in, like, 2010 or so.

Born and raised in WW and I thought I had heard them all…

That graph plots gross pay (x-axis) against take-home cash (y-axis). The far left of the graph (in green) shows people making under 20k taking home more than their “earned” pay. At the extreme bottom is somebody making 1,000/year taking home 10,000. The progressive income tax starts at 20,000.

Not labeling the axises does make it hard to read.

The US doesn’t technically have a negative tax, but the EITC accomplishes the same basic thing. Whether it’s efficient enough, or needs expansion is another story.
