Well yes you are 💯 correct.
Tbh, I was attempting low humor bc he’s being compared to the top which is more cockeyed but not as twisted as him. And then with the “Bubba” email, he’s not just on the bottom he is a bottom.

God what’s with the weird eye positions on the picture of the bottom
- Comment on I was diagnosed with early onset dementia and alzhimers. Is there safe guards I can put it up so I don't screw or kill anyone? Like who do I contact about being denied to own a gun? 22 hours ago:
Gosh, I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Yes you should do what the others have said about getting someone trustworthy in charge of your legal affairs while you’re still able to sign them over.
Yeah, might be a good idea to get on the Don’t Sell list. Otherwise a person in your situation might give in to the urge to commit Dumpicide and either use their diagnosis as a defense or be shot by the Secret Service and spared the long decline.

- Comment on Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes? 1 week ago:
Yes, and if you GENTLY press on your eyelids you can make other colors happen.
Also if you stare at a clear sky, NOT AT THE SUN, or at a bluish wall, you may see little swirly things, it’s the white blood cells in your retinas swimming around.

- Comment on It's always been women in STEM. 1 week ago:
Or, if she did exist but almost nobody heard about her in the 500 years after her death, why would that have happened?
(Not taking a position on her existence, but thinking about Hatshepsut and many women whose accomplishments were ignored, hidden, or credited to men)
- Comment on Is it bad if I'm 31 and I feel genuinely sad and empty that a mythical creature isn't real? 1 week ago:
Mythical or not, how creatures or people are portrayed in media often has very little to do with how they actually are. Or especially how one acts towards an individual, such as you. As long as it’s not leading you into doing something dangerous, or withdrawing from reality, your version/interpretation is just as valid as the stories someone else dreamed up.

At least his successor has already been determined so it doesn’t give Trump an opportunity to appoint one.
And maybe he can use his legal expertise to help draft lawsuits against some of Trump’s shit and at least slow him down.
Or something.

Maybe their version of “rule the planet” involved mostly just hanging out in their den and thinking interesting thoughts.
- Comment on Let him keep it. 3 weeks ago:
Agreed although apparently use of the meme is now expanded to include anything that sends us back to 1984, so it could mean “that’s an old joke” or “women these days appreciate a big stick, that’s outdated sexism.”
As an old woman, I disagree though. Big sticks should be appreciated in Nature and then left for someone else to enjoy. That’s not sexist. And OP’s comic is new to me. It’s also adorable.

With that untouched surface, you might be able to get a replacement if you still have the receipt. Depends on the store and if you’re polite about it. (You could probably do it by being rude, but I’d hate you.)

He needs a shed outside to keep his big stick in.

- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 4 weeks ago:
Human milk tastes different. Some say it tastes a little like canteloupe juice. I thought mine made my coffee taste…odd. Never tried it in baking though.
- Comment on Never buying milk from Walmart again 4 weeks ago:
I would bet the trucks and store refrigerators at Walmart are kept as warm as legally possible, to save money on electricity.

But those casinos stank just as bad, because stale cigarette smoke out-ranks cheap food
- Comment on Does it get windy in New York City? 5 weeks ago:
But have you ever been downtown in any big city with lots of skyscrapers? The subheader of the question asks about those as well, and since the consensus is that NYC can be very windy because the grid funnels the wind (I’ve experienced it myself) it would be interesting to know if an older circular-walled city origin would cause the modern skyscrapers (planted in old lots) to block the wind more effectively, for instance.

- Comment on Carrot 5 weeks ago:
Some, but not most. There’s significant nutrition in the phloem (layer under the skin) which is not removed by peeling. And even the center has nutritional value. It is best to peel them just before using rather than let them sit around once peeled, since the peel protects them.
- Comment on Carrot 5 weeks ago:
I peel carrots because to me the peel tastes like dirt. As for that whole poop discussion, I’m pretty sure that guano in the soil is not the worst contaminant on the skin of the carrot. E. coli on vegetables for instance usually comes from the hands of someone who handled it.
I grant you that the skin probably also contains lots of vitamins, although there’s still plenty in the interior. And giving the carrot a really good scrub would get the skin clean.
But I’ve never been able to scrub away the dirt flavor to my satisfaction. So I peel them with a carrot peeler. The existence of which indicates it’s a common enough behavior not to merit an interrobang.
Though I do love an interrobang, so thanks.
- Comment on Carrot 5 weeks ago:
They did you a favor. The advantage is, you only have to peel One Carrot. And it’s not that hard to cut it up, you could even make carrot sticks and dice half of them for stew, or cut half and shred half for carrot salad. The sticks keep nicely in the fridge with a little cold water.

- Comment on How do Ghostwriters work? Does the person the book is about say to the writer I will give you 2 or 20 percent of the sales or is it a 50 50 split? 5 weeks ago:
They usually get a set amount payable on submitting a final draft, or a salary. Which, if it’s an ego project, might be more lucrative than a percentage of profits.

Consider the Navel Orange. Completely unable to reproduce on its own, yet it has millions of progeny because of people like you!
- Comment on Public service announcement 5 weeks ago:
It’s apparently less common than it used to be (I’m quite old, and I also had pelvic pain which is another reason for doing a rectovaginal exam) but considering the fact that colorectal cancer is skyrocketing in young adults maybe it should make a comeback.
- Comment on Public service announcement 5 weeks ago:
My Obstetricians didn’t but the (female) internist who did my pap smears as part of my annual physical did them. Not weird at all because she was examining the whole body, not just the female bits. And she warned me, as she did about everything down there, and didn’t mess around. She also took care as she opened the speculum so I could unclench (vaginismus). Frankly much more considerate than my second OB, I broke their speculum and they blamed me rather than their technique.
