    ❌X❌X❌X❌X❌X❌>> ALERT! << ❌X❌X❌X❌X❌X❌

    - > BEWARE of ENTRAPMENT <-

    Last few days we’ve done a lot of discussing about suspensions, and how unfair or unjust they are when the victim (yes, that’s correct – victim) never gets warned, notified, nor the reason for the suspension explained.

    All ‘Commenters’ are expected, and rightly so, to abide by Gocomic’s ‘Comment Policy’. Let me show you the first two:

    (1) are sexual in nature, indecent, obscene, threatening, defamatory, inflammatory, abusive, harassing, violent, offensive, or otherwise objectionable (2) contain profanity or expressions of hatred, bigotry, racism, bullying or name calling

    _ _ _ _ _ _

    Not pointing any fingers, but there are those who delight in engaging others and then pushing their buttons. (Seems as though they relish the idea of being in control.) Through anger or frustration, the ‘victim’ may spout off and say things that could be construed as bullying or name calling. They are trying to bait you . . . DO NOT take the bait!!

    My advice, instead of getting hooked, just ask them a simple Yes or No question.

    Can’t say for certain this is the reason for the inordinate number of suspensions from this site, but certainly something to seriously consider…

    So which YouTuber has the second most subscribers as of 2023? I’m thinking misters McLaughlin and Neal of Good Mythical Morning.

    Hey, can anyone ge in this conversation? I’m going back in thus:A woman, about to undergo an IRS audit, asked her accountant for advice on what to wear. “Wear your shabbiest clothing. Let them think you are a pauper.”

    Then she asked her legal counsel the same question but got the opposite advice. “Do not let them intimidate you. Wear your finest attire.”

    Utterly confused at this point, she went to her rabbi, told him of the conflicting advice, and requested some resolution to her dilemma. “Let me tell you a story” replied the rabbi. “A woman, about to be married, asked her mother what to wear on her wedding night. ‘Wear a heavy, long, flannel nightgown that goes right up to your neck.’ But when she asked her best friend, she got conflicting advice. ‘Wear your most sexy negligee, with a V neck right down to your navel.’”

    The woman protested “Rabbi, what does all this have to do with my problem with the IRS?”

    “Don’t you see? It doesn’t matter what you wear my dear! Either way, the results will be the same. "

    That guy should know better than to call 911, or whatever the emergency number is in Japan needlessly.

    ~~

    Clotile was sitting in the waiting room for her first appointment with a new dentist. She noticed his DDS diploma on the wall that bore his full name.Suddenly, she remembered a tall, handsome dark-haired boy with the same name who had been in her high school class some 30-odd years ago. Could he be the same guy that she had a secret crush on way back then?

    Upon seeing him, however, she quickly discarded any such thought. This balding, gray-haired man with the deeply lined face was way too old to have been her classmate.

    After he examined her teeth, she asked him if he had attended Thibodaux High School.

    “Yes. Yes, I did. I’m a Tiger,” he gleamed with pride.

    “When did you graduate?” asked Clotile.

    The dentist answered, “In 1975. Why do you ask?”

    “You were in my class!” Clotile exclaimed.

    He looked at her closely. Then that ugly, old, balding, wrinkled-faced, gray-haired, decrepit, miserable, old man asked, “What did you teach?”

    I’m a nerd so I had to calculate how often the Japanese man was calling the police station Assuming hours of sleep (during which time he’d make no calls), that works out to a phone call every 4 minutes!

    Who is Mr. Beast?

    That woman in Florida probably received a fine for filing a frivolous lawsuit.

    That guy in Japan must have had the Police on speed dial…

    That Florida woman might have been using an old microwave oven. When a microwave oven is used, the magnetron gets a tiny bit weaker. Slowly, gradually, the time needed to cook something increases. Mine currently needs about 25% more time than instructions call for.

    Never even heard of Mr Beast. Crazy how something can be so popular but then you don’t even know about it.

    Little off topic here, just a little, but as I was surfing I came across this that might be of interest:

    About narcissists:

    ~

    Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental health condition in which people have an unreasonably high sense of their own importance. They need and seek too much attention and want people to admire them. People with this disorder may lack the ability to understand or care about the feelings of others.

    These results suggest that the self-esteem of vulnerable narcissists is low, and their fragile sense of self-worth is hypersensitive and labile, while grandiose narcissists have generally higher and more stable self-esteem.

    Lawsuits can really be ridiculous. As derdave said, the lady was probably looking to make some money to get rid of her for being a nuisance. My lawner once told me me that someone could sue me for not having blond hair, but that didn’t mean they would succeed. (And as someone above – sorry that I’ve forgotten who – mentions, there is the “frivolous lawsuit” consideration.
