I enjoyed the first two well enough. The biggest draw for me is not the story telling, but how visually gorgeous I find them.

Thank you so much for the recommendations! My partner recently built me a gaming PC, and he'd be really happy for me to spend more time on it. I'll definitely check those out!

Spiritfarer. I was so sad when it ended.

Yes! Our local geology clubs offer field trips for members, including mineral and fossil digs!

This isn't going to be a popular answer, but the only meats I don't feel guilty about eating are those that come from my family's farms, their, neighbors farms, or the wild game my family hunts. Commercial, large scale agriculture is damaging in many ways, but for most people who choose to eat meat it's very difficult to avoid. We need to advocate for a more localized food supply for so many reasons.

Oh my, I think you need to talk to someone. If I suggest therapy, should I die twice?

I never said he couldn't express his pain. I said, regardless of genders, this way of expressing it is simply rude and not a good way to communicate in any kind of relationship. When someone brings up something that is bothering them, and your immediate response is "yeah, but me", you're being a jerk. Since this seems to be escaping you, this doesn't mean the other person isn't allowed to talk about their feelings. They simply need to be an adult and do it at a more appropriate time or in a more appropriate way. Conversations like this aren't a battle to be won, they are a tool used to solve a problem or simply vent frustration.

You seem to be looking at this in a very black and white way. Therapy can help with that. It's not a fun way to go through life.

Yay, my people!

What the person you replied to is correct regardless of the genders involved. When someone brings up a problem to you, it's a rude thing to immediately respond in ways that make it about you and your own pain. There's a line between sharing your own experiences to establish understanding and empathy and making it the pain Olympics.

Especially in this comic, the man couldn't possibly understand how it feels to have the unfortunate symptoms that come from having periods, and he instantly equates putting up with his partner during their period as equivalent. It's eye rolling on multiple levels.

Or perhaps I know from firsthand experience.

40 here, scored a 19. I'm fascinated that you were able to avoid checkbooks all this time. Back in the day it was the only form of rent payment my landlords would accept, so I didn't have much choice.

I've also had to use them in oddball situations recently, like paying a passport application fee. The passports weren't even for me. I was just the only one in the friend group that still has checks from when I first opened my account.... almost 20 years ago. They're my age, so maybe it's me who's the outlier here, haha.
