I stopped last season after it became clear their enemy was a giant turtle. Did it get any better?

Welp that's great. I'll probably be out of a job soon at this rate.

If you don't vote and it bites you in the ass you only have yourself to blame. Lmao.

No because it's been around forever and I'm surprised the author is still alive.

I don't understand why people are so surprised right-wingers don't have rational consistency to their thought processes. Have none of you been paying attention to them for the last 3-5 decades?

Nothing they do is surprising based on their historical words and actions but people still be out there voting Republican (or not voting Democrat in every election) because "they can't be that bad!"

I'm surprised they still make Doonesbury.

The sizes of apartments on TV were also a blatant lie.

The boomer crusade against alternative milks is one of the weirder forms of toxic masculinity and smacks of subservience to and brainwashing by the milk lobby.

I understand that the climate today is vastly different than what it was when I was growing up. These days being gay or lesbian doesn't necessitate a struggle and that's fine. I am coming to terms with the fact that it's more important to be okay for people to self-identify these days, despite what I or others may think, since being queer is simply far more widely accepted (in the US). This is true for being the LGB portion of being LGBT to a large degree, but we haven't gotten there for the trans portion.

I'm just explaining the perspective people who have issues with OP might have and thus why they might have a problem which is what they asked about. Especially as someone who grew up in some of the hard days (i.e. being disowned for being gay, having to fight for my rights to marry my husband, etc.). And also experiencing people in my own journey that claimed they could speak on my behalf or for LGBTQ people as a whole despite having almost no understanding of the struggles we had to go through in the past. The struggles the gay community has faced in the past are being experienced right now though by trans folk perhaps even to a larger degree. Which is why it is more likely to be found problematic to pretend to be trans when you are not.
