I've heard this story before. It's starting to feel like it's the football that Lucy is holding while I run at to kick the game winning field goal.

I guess Charles Schultz just grew up in a different time, but I always wondered why Charlie Brown never snapped, and just beat the shit out of her. Not the first time she did that. That would be psycho behavior to just start beating the shit out of one of your friends for doing that ONCE........but Wendy has made a whole life reputation out of being the one who does this......EVERY......SINGLE.....TIME.

So after like 10 times, I'm surprised Charlie Brown never went "Ok, you know what, come here, bitch....." and then the next day's comic strip Wendy would have a black eye. Then, 30 years later, these youtube shows could do these low budget list videos

"Ten times sunday morning cartoons got really really dark!"

And at like number 3 would be the time Peanuts suggested that Charlie Brown punched Wendy.

And maybe like number 7 could be the time Dilbert got really biggoted towards his new trans co-worker.

And number 1 would be Jon from the Garfield comics going completely fucking insane, feeding his 12lb cat a 6lb dish of lasagna every week, talking to, and understanding his cat (but for some reason NOT his dog), and his batshit insane dating life stratagies such as hiding in womens bushes, and surprising them at work unannounced during work hours. Yes, these are all legit things I absolutely remember reading in real garfield cartoons in the 90s.

Hay guys, I'm looking for the thread to talk about our love of Wendy's hamburgers. Am I in the right place?

Large scale societal change doesn't happen overnight. You have to keep pushing, sometimes for decades.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
