There are also moderate muslims who don't observe the fasting portion of Ramadan, just as there are moderate catholics who don't observe the fasting portion of Lent. I was talking with a dude a while back who said he'd tried it, but that it wasn't for him.

That said, wearing headscarves and saying things like "inshallah" can also definitely be cultural things rather than religious. Just like how I say "oh my god" without being religious.

I always though those things were cool because you could use the under water as well, not that I have a need to write under water.

I've got a pen that can write underwater!

...it can write other words too, though.

I mean, technically the trolls gave her the "green and warty" makeover... Xykon just did the exfoliation prior to it.

People are bad at being human and good at being themselves. What does that make Men?

Miserable little piles of secrets. This has been established.

How tightly should be grasp the illusion of disbelief?
Firmly grasp it
Cats can have a little illusion, as a snack

Pimp Your Ride With This One Weird Trick!

Oh, I definitely self-identify as the gender of Business.
That is absolutely how I roll.

"Yeah, but what's in your pants?"

"Stonks"

DF is some liquid-flow simulator

This is a terrifying thought when you remember the flooding mechanics of the 2D version...

Was there anything that kid didn't own?

Empathy for the working classes.

If he was that big a kid it might be why his mom died, split her in half when he came out.

Nah, he was taken out via Crassusian section. It's like a Caesarian, but with more money.


Also the theater on that comic cover is clearly branded "RR", like pretty much everything else in Richie Rich

Describe a particular colour as though you’re doing so to someone that has no concept of it.

I've thought about this before, in the context of describing how sight works to someone who's been sightless since birth.

And, really... In some ways it's very similar to sound. You have waves of varying frequencies, and you have sensory organs capable of picking up and identifying particular frequencies. The waves that you observe however are often reflected off of physical surfaces, the composition of which changes the perceived tonal qualities of that wave. Similarly, these waves can move through mediums (just to piss off Latin students) that can affect the integrity of the wave and alter how it gets received by us. Blue would be a "high pitch" color, while red would be "low pitch".

So yeah, a lot of similarities to sound. Just that it's received by your front-ears, which can be opened and closed at will thanks to fleshy covers.

Hugh's Hue Hewer. The magical sword that grants protection against spells like Chromatic Orb and Color Spray. Or maybe casts them, I haven't entirely decided yet

A bad idea of forumites

To my understanding, it's primarily light-skinned European descent westerners, primarily directed at the UK, US, and Canada.

The term can also be used more specifically to refer to the particular brand of milquetoast middle class suburbanite that gets represented in things like the MiddleClassFancy memes or that's regularly parodied on Boondocks (although they also give a fair amount of attention to incensed, ignorant rednecks and hillbillies, who can also occasionally be the groups referred to by the term "White people").


Generally, it's a term used slightly less to refer to a particular ethnic group, and more to poke at the social classes of people who are predominantly made up of "White people" thanks to historic trends; those social classes being the myopic and somewhat narcissistic type that has very little understanding of troubles or worldviews outside of their very limited bubble, regardless of whether or not they're suburbanites, hipsters, hippies, yuppies, rednecks, hillbillies, or the Queen.


But all that said, I myself am a "White people", so I like to make affirmative and confident statements on things that I don't really have an expansive understanding of. Your mileage may vary.
