Shirts & such.
Ko-Fi.
First of all, a huge thanks to those of you who took pity on me in regards to my large dentistry bill. You were far too generous and I appreciate it.
Secondly, I added a Gremlin Carol image to the t-shirt store. If you want to be defended by her click that link and choose that image for a shirt, or whatever. I’m not exactly sure how the process works because they don’t offer shirts in my size.
Thirdly I bought a couple of PS3 Dualshock3 batteries on Amazon’s prime sale. It’s not important in any way, I just wanted them to work if ever I decided to finish playing any PS3 games I have. If you’ll recall none of them would work right the last time I tried because a Dulshock3 is not wired to simply work if it has power supplied to it. Power must pass through a battery that can hold just enough charge to keep working. A design flaw if you ask me. The battery works so far but no light comes on when I set it to charge so I’m not sure if there’s something wrong with the controller or what just yet.
Anyway, that’s about all I have worth saying. I’ll see you guys on Monday. Until then, Wizard needs food!

yeah but this one is only after your tatas, Carol
Who was Thomas’s previous redhead and what happened with her? (or him, I’m not judging, although Thomas didn’t show any inclinations in that direction, unless I just missed them ;)
Dawn. There was a whole arc devoted to Thomas trying not to crash out when she showed back up with her new man and tried to re-insert herself into his life. He starts telling Carol about it here: /comics1/1143-rage-quit
Don’t you mean Constance Willowbrook? ;)
PS controllers requiring a battery to work isn’t a flaw. It’s a design choice, made to ensure ensure planned obsolescence. I know – I used to work at PlayStation hardware support. It’s the same reason they artificially block DS4 controllers from working on PS5’s – they can, but they’d rather you bought a DualSense.
I hate corporate crap like that.
That’s an old problem with poorly-designed computer equipment, and one that won’t go away. It’s like the all-in-one printer/scanner that you can’t use the scanner because the printer is out of yellow ink.
Yeah, I’m still pissed at HP that they bricked my flatbed scanner by not providing a driver when whatever version of windows I had updated. I think there was eventually a third party driver but by then I had moved on.
Is Carol shaming poly people and also ignoring an other woman’s advances? I hope she’s not heteronormative.
The root for “normative” is “normal.” So what’s wrong with being normal (the opposite of which being abnormal)?
… Because I’m pretty sure the very premise of “Heteronormative” is that it’s fabricated to other everyone that isn’t hetero (and therefore ‘normal’). Like, the very argument you make IS heteronomativity at work to persecute people. The problem isn’t being ‘normal’ it’s the belief that heterosexuality is the only ‘normal.’ Calling someone heteronormative isn’t even saying that they are hetero, or normal, it’s saying they buy into an ideology.
Strictly speaking heterosexuality is the sexual standard for our species. There are plenty of people out there who get hit on and don’t think anything of it simply because they are not attracted to the same sex and so don’t perceive it as such. T-Ray was somewhat rude but I do think that the original comment is also somewhat rude for shaming Carol just because she couldn’t perceive she was being hit on, while also showing the slightest hints of persecuting her by calling her potentially heteronormative.
I am personally of the opinion that people should be allowed to think and feel what they want so long as they are not being malicious. Carol is not being malicious but by your own definition the original comment could be perceived as attacking her for holding beliefs contrary to their own.
I once met a woman at a dance who invited me to the hotel pool the next day where she and friends were staying. At one point later, when we were bg and gf, she related that she took one of her woman acquaintances (who I found of no appeal or interest) aside and laid down the law. “He came here to see me!”
Reader, I married her. Plenty of other reasons, but I was impressed. As is Thomas here, it did feel nice.
