“Never did like that much,” is a baller and superb way to express your irritation with the way the patriarchy refuses to acknowledge how badass you are.
Word.
Before World War I, she shot a cigarette out of the mouth of the Kaiser of Germany at his request.
After the war started she sent him a letter asking for another chance, as she was afraid her aim might’ve been a little off.
remember when captain america punched hitler in the face on the cover of his first issue
Like the X-Men and Luke Cage weren’t created during the Civil Right’s Movement during the 60’s for no fucking reason at all…
Remember that the comics that really got the industry up and running where created by Jews in response to antisemitism and what was happening to Jews during the Holocaust.
But sure nothing at all related to social justice and equality there at all /sarcasm/
also, that book isn’t even about Superman fighting the KKK in a fictional story either, like, it’s about a guy named Stetson Kennedy who went undercover and infiltrated the KKK, then gave all their secret codes and handshakes to the Superman writers so they could do a bunch of stories where Superman fights the Klan, in order to reinforce the Klan as both villainous and worthy of ridicule.
It worked really well, too, the iteration of the Ku Klux Klan that existed at the time (before it was revived by modern white supremacists) was largely DISBANDED because of this Superman storyline, after a lot of Klan leaders went home and saw their kids Playing Superman, beating up pretend Klansmen who happened to be using their actual codes and titles.
Getting social issues involved in comics has had an actual tangible effect on dynamics in the real world, and having Superman fight the KKK in fiction actually managed to adequately shame the majority of Klansmen into disbanding their organization.
So, it makes sense to write fictional heroes as being opposed to real villains, because superheroes play a big part in forming kids’ conception of right and wrong
I got in a fight with someone recently who told me not to “make the Captain America movies all political” like. Come on. Sweaty.
Comics have always been inherently political, people may have just been too obtuse and unobservant to notice.
Nothing wrong with being an unobservant kid. Staying that way as an adult is another matter.
Someone thinking that comics didn’t used to be political in the golden/silver/bronze age is perfectly understandable provided of course that person is someone who has never actually read like 95% of any of the comic books written in the golden, silver and bronze age
I mean for the love of god, Fake Fanboys…Mike Friedrich, Chris Claremont, John Ostrander…fucking JERRY SIEGEL AND JOE SHUSTER and Jack “The King” Kirby…
“Does the decaf coffee have caffeine?” What the fuck do you think!
“Can I get a bacon sandwich”
“Which one sir? We have three of them”
“The one with the bacon on it”
Hi my name is Customer McDumbass and I ordered six frappaccinos, all different, during a rush right before my flight is supposed to board and I’m mad my drinks aren’t done yet!
Um. Decaf has caffeine. Chemically decaffeinated somewhat less so than Swiss water process decaf, but it still has enough to fuck with particularly sensitive people.
I mentioned this in the replies but the customer asked because they wanted the coffee with the MOST caffeine and thought decaf was that. It was genuinely stupid I promise
Me: “I have a small cappuccino for Caitlin!”
Customer: “What? But I ordered a large Americano!”
Me: “What’s your name?”
Customer: “Laurie”
I have customers walk away with the wrong drink so often because of that constantly. Like ma’am, you ordered a large frap. Does this medium hot cup really seem like it’s the right beverage for you???????
“And WHY exactly can’t I use my coupon?”
“…because your coupon is for a regular priced item, and your item is on sale.”
“Well, how was I supposed to KNOW it was on sale?”
“Well, ma’am, there was a sign right above it on the shelf–”
“I came in here to SHOP, not to READ.”
Dude I have people with bones coming out of their body asking me if I think it’s an emergency and if they should go to the hospital or wait till it gets better. Like humans are just plain stupid
WHY CANT I USE MY COUPON TWICE???
“Where are my vouchers? I was told I would get them!”
“No sir, you took out business with us two months before the voucher offer started.”
“So I’m going to get my vouchers?”
“No sir, because you started business with us before the offer began.”
“I want my vouchers!”
“You aren’t eligible for any voucher sir.”
“This is ridiculous! I was told I would get vouchers.”
“Actually sir we’ve listened to all the calls, and no one mentioned the vouchers to you.”
“…So when will I get my vouchers?”
B o I
Reblogging for the comic
That “grabbing the obviously wrong drink” thing pissed me off so much when I was a barista. It really made me lose faith in humanity’s intelligence.
Yesterday a woman who ordered a mocha grabbed someone else’s chai, despite names being announced and written on cups, drank half of it, then returned it and yelled at me because it wasn’t her drink. Customers really are that stupid
I work at a hot dog place and I had a couple come in and order two hot dogs. One plain and one with onions and mustard. I labeled them so they knew which was which but they returned a little later complaining that his hot dog didn’t have anything on it even though he ordered it with mustard and onions and that his girlfriends hot dog had mustard and onions instead of being plain….I didn’t even know how to respond.
I once had a woman complaining about how small our clothes were fitting her. She was shopping in the childrens department.
Imagine thinking your spouse is a sexy secret agent for decades only to find out he’s a restaurant critic for fat tire boy magazine
Better yet imagine a real spy getting in trouble and mistaking a restaurant critic for a fellow agent. But the critic takes their job very seriously and won’t reveal themselves and so gets pulled into some kind of huge dangerous conspiracy whilst continuing to take notes on the quality of every restaurant they almost get shot in.
Jacked? Damn straight, have you seen him with those weight lifting scenes?! He lifts it up like it’s a feather!
Dude spends every week running for his life with a dog that’s got to be at least 100 lbs in his arms. Constant aerobic workout with weights, massive hunger, laid back attitude: he’s an fighting-anime hero whose style is entirely built around escape and speed.
According to season 1 episodes of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You, Shaggy is both “the swingingest gymnast in school”, and a track & field athlete who is the fastest (human) in the gang. So, yes. Definitively canon.
His appetite isn’t about being stoned, it’s because he’s a teenage jock.
To be fair, he can be a teenage jock with very high caloric needs and also be constantly stoned. They’re really not mutually exclusive.
Whilst some are wondering what Shaggy is wearing, I’m wondering if Fred is wearing anything at all, other than that conveniently placed surfboard.
This is another thing to love about Karl Urban. It would be easy to look at the roles he has played, and assume he’s some kind of badass action man. But then he says stuff like this, and you realize he’s probably just a big, harmless, nerdy, teddy bear.
The best line in Lilo and Stitch is, “No! Don’t touch that! It’s from my blue period!”
Like not only is Lilo familiar with goddamn Picasso despite being maybe 8, but she’s made enough serious art of her own that she can divide it into similar periods.
Lilo is a goddamn prodigy. She is an eccentric genius on par with Tesla or Van Gogh.
Like those pictures she took were both dismissals of beauty standards (she mostly photographed fat people who were not conventionally attractive and she referred to them in awe as beautiful) and subversions of the dehumanization tourists subjected her to as a native Hawaiian (she photographed tourists like they were simply part of the landscape, just as they did to her).
