That’s very interesting, though i think in this context that background info might be being used as a pun since the albatrosses are the ones being followed in the comic.

I’m going to presume that sometimes sailors, when looking for land, will at some point follow birds thinking they will lead the ship to land. In this instance they’ve found two albatrosses. Unfortunately, albatrosses can fly 10,000 miles in a single journey, so they could theoretically be very far from land. The albatrosses don’t realize the intent and just think they’re being followed.

Even more specifically than that, it’s just telling you tomorrow that 16m with a preventable health issue will die, not when or how.

Not correcting you, just adding a little clarification for how i read it

I’m not trained in such dark arts so I’m not equipped to answer your follow-up question. Suffice to say, don’t mess with that doctor

It looks like it’s supposed to be a single lung. It looks identical to one from frame 2

Can’t tell if sarcasm/trolling, but just in case:

I only like the albums they did with dave grohl on drums, the rest just don’t seem to hit for me.

I’m pretty sure that’s only songs for the deaf and a few songs on like clockwork. I can’t get into any of their other stuff.

I think they’re saying this:

Family meals would comprise of three restaurants worth of people since they’re all immortal

Separately, you can never retire since you will never hit retirement age

Not going to lie to you, this is exactly what i did :)

It’s from God emperor of dune, i think it’s the fourth book in the series by publication, but not chronologically.

I guess this might be a spoiler if they eventually make it a movie, but basically, the son of Paul merges himself with a sand worm and becomes effectively immortal. It’s both interesting and bizarre.

There’s a lot more to it than that but i don’t want to ruin the story for anyone

If you travel, you’ll find very interesting combinations of flavors. As a few modest examples, I recently came upon paprika flavored and cheese and onion flavored Pringles, and awhile back i had sake flavored kit kats.

Travel more! Plenty of flavor experimentation going on

I think the joke is that a dominatrix is meant to, well, dominate their client (sexually). Think like with whips and chains, for example. Unfortunately, everything in her house, even the ficus, dominates her. It’s a bad first impression and she appears to be unfit for the role.

Looks like a Milchkaffee, which is kinda like a cafe au lait

Ha, i am somewhat familiar with the genre, i just wanted to contribute :) studied ancient rome, so that is legit what i typically think of when i hear goth.

To me, goths are the people who sacked Rome in 410. None of this makes sense to me.

I think they’re referencing the manga/anime death note. So they’re just writing in the names of countries hoping they will die.

Did a light google search, looks like the individual is the former prime minister of poland (between ww1 and ww2), and a fairly prominent statesman, who I’m guessing hated those other countries.

I’m not having a glass of wine, I’m having six. It’s called a tasting and it’s classy!

No lies, i think it’s actually saying no to plastic clothes hangers, since clothes hangers are an enormous source of plastic waste.

I don’t think it’s fair to assume, at best, an accident is negligence. There are numerous things that can lead to an accident that wouldn’t be negligence, such as normal wear and tear causing problems with something such as brakes or steering (perhaps not caught during routine maintenance as they weren’t issues at the time), something falling into the road (weather related, wildlife, erosion), a glitch of some kind (two green lights, not negligence necessarily) , or visibility issues (even cautious and solid drivers can be at risk during poor conditions). These are just some examples, but in the cases nobody involved would be at fault.

I believe the comparison to a gun is woefully inaccurate and invalid. Both are machines with the capacity to cause harm, but the similarities end there.

I can totally understand, and that makes a lot of sense. I think the sheer volume of accidents in the post are what’s so shocking. I’ve only been in a vehicle with an obviously reckless driver two times (so far. And to clarify, two people, once each), and from my perspective, some people really shouldn’t drive. Heck, one of those two times was supposed to be a casual date (she was picking me up, we were in college), and i asked her to drop me off immediately. Big nope.
