I thought this first too. But then I remembered an interaction where one colleague of mine told another pair who were speaking another language that “secrets don’t make friends” or some such. I think it was intended as a jokey way to express that he was uncomfortable with the conversation that he couldn’t understand. He also joked that they were probably talking poorly of him. I noticed this person was normalizing controlling the discussion by throwing negative or secretive intentions onto the others’ discussions. In reality, they’re just friends discussing something in their primary language.

Anyway, long story long, I don’t think this colleague would tell us he has a problem with others speaking a language besides English, but then he’d probably follow that up with a bunch of clarifiers that indicate he does in fact have a problem with it.

Thanks for laying it out. I am curious about identifying logical fallacies. But after your description, strawman is exactly how I read the picture. Here’s how it goes in my head: there’s an unstated assumption that since circumcision in America is so common, that pro choice people are for it. And then they point out that circumcision at birth is against bodily autonomy. So yeah, strawman.

To me, the fact that it’s intended as a joke is besides the point, but still supports strawman. Why is it funny? Because you contrast the pro-choice bodily autonomy ascribed to the pregnant woman with the lack of bodily autonomy for the circumcised child. But this juxtaposition ascribes the decision to circumsize the child to the pro choice person. Meaning, they’re claiming that this is those people’s opinion. And arguing against it. If instead we said that person A is pro-choice and person B circumcised their child then it isn’t funny or clever anymore.

Straw man argument

Yeah, that looks like it’s been sitting out a week.

Older gen alpha are 12-- but all of the references are from current social media influencers. You can’t even “officially” access you tube until your account says you’re 13.

Good job 👍 I’m proud of you!

That’s definitely not transcendence. I took ClaritinD a while back and was awake for two days straight.

Thanks for the recommendations. Both of those look really clean and much better than nova.

Dangit. What’s the replacement then?!

Gotcha, I’m on an android phone, and Jeroba is the name of the app I use.

Don’t worry, they’ll insert it all into captchas and make us label all their data soon.

Me too – do you use Jeroba client?

Edit: I guess not me too. Mine looked.like it would be a link only then when It fully posted it was an image. Maybe it is our client? I am on Jeroba

Is the dress blue or gold?

I feel like you could kill several fallout ghouls and the meat piles would just blend in.

I’d like to know if there’s an XKCD about an XKCD that’s no longer relevant.

Yes. Just check out any 7th grade classroom.

So, this baby has teeth (and babies of this age do not usually). I can’t tell if we are all just unnerved and not noticing, or ignoring for the benefit of the joke. So this is for whoever falls in the first camp.

Similar story. Few years ago in a previous life, I was a teacher. Our administration would make an announcement in the morning that we had to check uniforms in first period and send non-compliant students to the office. Kids were generally in uniform, but a lot of the rules were nitpicky. One of the uniform rules was that students had to wear a certain color sock of a certain length. I don’t care what socks kids are wearing so never checked. They’re under their pants. Our assistant principal would stand in the hallway and check uniforms. When he found kids out of uniform, he would figure out who their first period teacher was and send a nastygram. Imagine living a life where you allow your blood pressure to rise because of the kind of socks on somebody else’s feet.

You’re lit fam.

I got this as a fax, and it said I had to mail it to at least seven other people to be blessed.
