Won’t you lend your lungs to me? Mine are collapsing.

The comic addresses people that are making flimsy excuses about not wanting to reduce their meat consumption despite their environmentalist ideals. From your comment, you don’t sound like that describes you. Why do you feel shamed? It’s not directed at you.

I’m glad you called them out on it because that’s an insane thing to say to someone when you’re about to get married.

I used to see this guy bike past my apartment all the time. He had a speaker blasting country music and he’d scream-sing the lyrics. Not my type of music at all but his passion made me fuck with his vibe.

This is a frequent complaint I’ve had, living in Moncton. I wish someone ran a blog or something with all the events going on.

I basically have to go on social media and follow every venue and artist that could have events that interest me. Even then, I end up missing out on a lot of stuff because I wasn’t aware it was going on.

I’ll gladly take the septum-pierced ladies. I’ll take the septum-pierced enbies and men, too.

I’ve never seen an ugly person with a septum piercing.

Which is why I said biological parent and not father.

Nothing in this comic necessarily implies that the dad isn’t the kid’s biological parent, though.

Pretty sure that’s heronsy.

I honestly feel that’s less of a diss on the Neo and more of a statement on how overpowered phones are now, especially considering the limitations placed on mobile OSes.

My cyclist confession is that I hate doing bicycle maintenance.

In the 5 years I’ve had my current bike, I think it’s on it’s fourth drivetrain?

Even then, over 5 years of replacing neglected chains, chain rings and cassettes pretty much every year, I still paid less in parts than what 10 tanks of gas would cost. Not to mention the savings on vehicle purchase, parking, insurance, heck even a gym membership.

Apparently, buck used to be a slur in the US for a black or Native American man.

A suggested etymology for buck naked is that it refers to the the nude state of black men when they were sold at slave auctions. AFAIK it’s not attested anywhere, just a hypothesis.

Both butt-naked and buck naked are used.

Comparing them with Google Ngram does show that buck naked predates and is slightly more frequently used than butt-naked, but I’d say butt-naked has been widely accepted into the lexicon. Bonus, it doesn’t have (possibly) racist origins like buck naked has.

Peggle was released 19 years ago.

We’re as far from Peggle as Peggle was from games such as Super Mario Bros 3 and Ninja Gaiden.

Hey! As a vegan stoner, I resent that. I use an Arch-derivative (EndeavourOS btw).

French people and French-Canadians both use anglicisms, just in different ways.

For example, if we take the sentence “I parked my car in the parking lot for the weekend”, someone from France might say:

J’ai stationné ma voiture dans le parking pendant le weekend

whereas someone from Canada could say

J’ai parké mon char dans le stationnement pour la fin de semaine

Both have influence from English, but in different places. English loanwords in Canada tend to originate from the beginning of the 20th century (a reason why many car-related terms in Canadian French are anglicisms, such as “bumper”) and in France loanwords tend to be a more recent phenomenon.

I’m French-Canadian. My native language is French, I spoke French at home growing up and the entirety of my education was in French.

When I’ve visited Paris, I had people switching to English despite me speaking exclusively in French to them.

Peanut Butter Sunday and FUUDGE are two French Canadian bands worth checking out!
