Hey, aren’t you supposed to be focusing on your classes?!? I hope that means they’re going well.

I’m glad all that info I put in the sticky was helpful. I’m thinking of taking a break from doing so much social media. The last couple weeks have been rough. Anyway, other people are posting here so I’m glad to see this community will thrive.

“…simian-headed biped…” lolz

I disapprove of Mrs True’s use of violence here, but I think it’s good to occasionally post some of these cartoons that are more dated, for the same reasons as the earlier post about selection bias. See also these other cartoons that came out on the same day over the years:

• Everett True objects to a man’s use of perfume - wtf Ev?
• Everett True discusses The War (WWI) with a neighbor - historically interesting, but not as relevant to today. some interesting articles on that newspaper page btw
• Everett True wants service. Not bad, but E.T. comes off as a bit of a Karen. Also a case where newspaper damage to the cartoon would make it difficult to clean up

The cartoon selected above is also a bit tougher to clean up, and I didn’t spend that much time on it. The newspaper page it was on was pretty damaged. There are some very interesting articles on that page though, including “Bolshevists Plan Unique Monument”, “German Intrigue in Bomb Plot”, and a bunch of ads and classifieds (which are always fun).

In comments someone said E-Tru had old-fashioned clothing, and the people he outburst against usually had newfangled (for that time) clothing.

I have many questions:

• WHO TF IS “OLD NOBODY”?!?
• why does he have E-Tru’s umbrella?
• why does he look like that?
• does this have something to do with Halloween?
• this isn’t some kind of racist thing, is it?
• why does E.T. call Ol Nobody a “loafer”, after he went through the trouble of bringing his umbrella?
• why can’t I find any info about “Old Nobody” on the web? Is this a figment of my imagination? It seems like he should have some Powers, like Punch Dodge or something like that.
• That’s a really nice Oi-Zuki Jodan, btw, though True-san’s leaning a bit too far forward. Or maybe Everett “The Outburst” True was originally a boxer?
• Does anybody have more info about “Old Nobody”, btw?

I coulda sworn I saw a similar one where the guy took his Pokemon card out on a date.

“Keep my wife’s spaghetti out of your mouth!”

It is a period of brain maturation, learning about intimacy and mutual support, intensification of pre-existing friendships, family-oriented socialization, and the attainment of those social skills that are needed for mating and reproduction.

Awesome, thanks!

Hey so what is this cognitive development that I may have missed out on? I tried googling but nothing comes up. Can you point me to some reading about this? Or some term to search for? Thanks.

Sorry fam I didn’t mean it that way, I’ve just learned to be suspicious.

the last cognitive development stage, which happens around 26-27.

Wait, what? I don’t think I got the memo on that one. This isn’t some “manosphere” thing, is it?

Couchsurfing got me great friends, girlfriends and eventually my wife.

I should totally try that. It’d be like: “Honey? How long is Rolando going to be staying on our couch? He spends all his time on his laptop giggling at that weird website full of communists and furries…” / “I don’t know… Let’s… Let’s set him up with that friend of yours, I bet that’ll get him out of here!”

Hmm… there are a lot of references that a current CS student isn’t going to get. More like an oldschool hacker (in the traditional sense of the word) whose mind is going. But I hope you don’t go that route, because “it was all just a dream” is a cliche.

There’s also a secondary meaning of “an unlicensed taxicab”.

Now you’ll have diabetes, if nothing else.

“The Outbursts of Everett True” isn’t a comic strip in Everett’s home town, it’s just an update of his activities.

That’s what Xi said.
