Cop in bikini tackles thief to the ground before his arrest

I don’t have that familiarity. Many others won’t, either.

I recognize that.

I’m sorry, what’s rude? Yes, we should all wisely pick our battles, but we’re all different people with different priorities. So the battles I choose may not be ones you would, and vice versa.

FWIW, I for one am glad that @megguspee managed to halt a gathering wave of hungry-man drool. This thread was starting to get slippery.

Will no-one ever draw those correctly?

That might be more distracting than comics-standard-antigrav-F-cups.

If they insist on drawing them that size and shape, they might as well apply a little gravity to 'em, is all. I know physics don’t apply to comic books (and especially not to superheroes), but I’d be slightly more inclined to read them if they adhered to this one minor point.

They really don’t care what I think.

At some point or another, we all say or do shit that unintentionally make someone uncomfortable, hurts someone, or alienates someone. I accept that it wasn’t intentional, but that doesn’t make it less uncomfortable.

Yeah, pretty much that. Noone wanted to to make others uncomfortable, it happened, and as unfair as it feels the person saying/doing the uncomfortable thing doesn’t get to dictate how it’s received. Even if it’s meant in a light hearted, unconfrontational way.

And in that note, anyone can call me Shiny anytime they want–ive watched waaay to much Firefly.

Thank you. I’m glad that many others get it, even if @William_Holz doesn’t.

The Internet is the Great Decontextualizer, William H. is a solid, and I’ve made waaaaay worse comments. But they are usually about myself :sunglasses:

But the fundamental point is a person never gets to dictate how they should be understood. Anyway, back to searching for fish gifs to generally annoy the crowd here :smiley:

Is it any better if it slips the other way into needless melodrama, and taking it WAY too personally?

As strong, outspoken women who frequent the forum regularly, do we not call out the unfair bullshit when we see it consistently?

And taking the position that we do, does that mean that it somehow does not “work both ways?”

But some of those are gems!

Oh, yeah…I’ve kind of accepted that sometimes people just get set off by things. And if they’re really cool then sometimes I change for them. I’ll also admit that if I might be a bit more snarky than normal if I feel like somebody’s just poking at me because they’re spoiling for a fight…and that’s kind of become my impression which may have colored a couple of responses.

Oh! I have a most annoying fish!

Exactly.
I have certainly seen my share of questionable comments, and many are much more vulgar and disgusting. But his still make me uncomfortable, and I’d like that to be taken into consideration. That’s about it.

Does this count?
