… He was literally working class. The literal definition of the proletariat. He was exactly proletariat. Earning more or less money is not the distinguishing characteristic.

Missing the dip before the meeting where you have to prepare for the meeting.

Yesz M class includes having tolerable gravity. There are many things that make a class M planet, which is why they are so rare. In some sci-fi universes there are other species that populate other types of planets that are rarely interacted with because there is not direct competition or benefits.

Plus there’s an old adage by J Paul Getty, “If you own the bank $100, that’s your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that’s the banks problem.”

Similarly everyone you owe money to is now invested in your success.

Here’s my retcon. The science of inertial dampeners are such that you have to be precisely aligned perpendicular to galactic north for maximum effectiveness.

I think many stories hand-wave this by only interacting with “M” class planets unless the story is helped by adding the additional complexity.

Not a comment on the story, but that dude is wide.

I don’t see what you mean. The left axis is a measurement of cost per gram of protein. The bottom gives you a measurement of density. So anything lower on the chart is cheap for what you get and then the further right you go the smaller the portion required to consume to get that amount of protein.

Love the series. All the actors are so great in it

The tears of Conservatives

Not really like anything you mentioned, but Hinamatsuri is one of the funniest I’ve read and I think everyone should read it.

Edit: also Def One Punch Man, Murata’s redraw

I call this being bookish, pronounced “bockish”

It is common and correct to always refer to former Presidents as President, they generally only say former if it clears up ambiguity.

“No fair! They’re politically motivated to (checks notes) fulfil their duty to inform the public about my political motivation too … usher in a dark age for America.”

Not really a reality I prefer, just felt that the assumption that the hypothetical individual would care about school shooter drills is less likely than the target audience of the joke would assume.

LPT: if your dog is being playful and you need to catch them, try running away to have them chase and catch you.
