I agree, but the question was whether political slays were permissible and where they should go, so I thought I should answer that. And I really liked that slay. It got even funnier when I inserted Danish politics in the first thought bubble. "It's across the Atlantic -- Canada may be far enough away!"

It was a reference, actually. The blush told me what Rhoda was was thinking was on par with Tedd's telling Grace that just wearing a Uryuom bodysuit, baseball cap, and tie to a job interview would be really bad.

This is the sad place people find themselves in from time to time.  We all think differently.  Sometimes there's conflict and difficulty that come from that.  Ed Verres is not an innately prejudiced man and Tedd for all his issues is not consumed by his anger and alienation.  There's every reason to think they'll work it out over time.

I doubt it; remember, this takes place before Squirrel Prophet, and she didn't seem to already know about it then (Catalina's and Rhoda's marks seem to be new information to her then).
Not necessarily; Shadow Guy might have done other things since then that we haven't heard about (which is how I initially interpreted it); he's done other things before ("It's probably nothing compared to--").
Sure they do.  Cat ears definitely belong on her head.

Not to worry. I am sure that the people who write those ships find you laughable, too.
Eh. I may be a liberal but I am not blind to the fact that there's a bunch of idiots out there who WANT to be offended and look for any excuse to be just so they can look down their nose at people. You do not have anything whatsoever to prove, certainly not to me.
As to the misogyny, I am specifically talking about the attacks made because they were women. They might not have come from a very large group of people but they more than made up for it in volume and obnoxiousness. Personally I find my blood pressure rising whenever I come across threats of violence and rape, and both kinds were all too frequent. *sigh*

I tend to prefer movies and shows with diverse casts.  I grew up on a university campus with a lot of international students, so I had classmates from India and China and Nigeria; growing up in that town, my childhood was similarly diverse.  I saw a bit of a TV show with a black private investigator and a Latina detective, and was quite enjoying the fact that they each showed their heritage in the way they spoke and acted, instead of just being completely assimilated into white-majority society.  I love accents, and love learning about how different cultures view the world differently.  Differences in how big a personal space is considered polite vs standoffish vs uncomfortably close, shoes on or off in the house, styles of furniture or lack thereof, all the little things that you discover are different.
On the other hand, there is a comedy show on late at night here which has a black host and four guest comics, and while they usually have diverse participants, every once in a while they'll announce the name of the show and append, "Hot Chocolate Edition!" to the name, signaling that they are having an all-black show that night.  The studio audience, when visible, is also all black for such shows.  On those nights, I tend to switch channels, because it seems clear to me that they are specifically *not* targeting me that night, they are deliberately choosing to exclude me and people who look like me, and therefore I will take the hint and go watch something else.

The problem isn't with individual movies so much as it is with the overall presence.  Still, the main problem is that movies seem to start out with "straight cis white male" as the default for main characters, with pretty much every movie having at least one, and many movies having all but one main character fit that category.  You never see an action movie where the main characters are an Asian woman, a black woman, and a First Nations woman, unless that is the movie's particular gimmick.  "Hey, look, they made all the Ghostbusters women!  Let's heap scorn on the movie for months before anyone even sees it!"  There is no other ethnicity that is seen as a must-have the way that almost every movie or TV show has straight cis white men.

The accuracy possible increases with the number of satellites used. When the GPS system was new the high accuracy was considered a problem as it could be used by a foreign military. To prevent this a pseudo random time modifier was used by the satellites. This degraded signal was believed to allow for an accuracy of about 100 yards which was thought to be good enough for civilian uses. The US military GPS receivers were able to use the same pseudo random algorithm to calculate the original time and thus were able to achieve the full accuracy that the system is capable of.
While an accuracy of 100 meters might have been fine for some civilian use it wouldn't be good enough for something like a GPS navigator for a car. But through some software trickery GPS manufacturers were able to increase the accuracy to about 25 yards. This was much better but not enough for really demanding applications, and that's when someone dreamed up Differential GPS. By having a stationary GPS receiver transmit the satellite data to a computer they could calculate how large the time error was. That data was then sent as a radio signal that DGPS capable receivers would use to correct their received satellite signals. In favorable situations it was possible to get an accuracy of about 4 inches this way.
Around 2000 it was determined that as DGPS had made it possible to achieve greater accuracy than what the military grade GPS receivers was capable of there was no reason to keep degrading the service for civilian use and the feature was turned off. Even so DGPS is still used for demanding applications today as it can correct some errors introduced by the atmosphere.
Modern GPS receivers can track a large number of satellites simultaneously. While in theory it should be possible to triangulate your position using 3 satellites 4 is actually considered the minimum that's usable and 6 is adequate for most purposes. But modern GPS receivers can track many more than that. Tests show that there are significant improvements even going from 13 to 15 tracked satellites, it can improve the accuracy from about 2 yards to about one.
 
Note that you may get excellent accuracy with only four satellites if the reception is good, but using more satellites improves the reliability.
And why on earth did I feel compelled to write this? I really don't remember, but perhaps it was to remind people just how amazingly complex the GPS system is, and yet we take it for granted today as almost all new mobiles and pads has GPS capability.
 

Well, and did Microsoft declared bankruptcy? No.
Another example is all those "Save Earth" initiatives. Earth was NEVER in any danger and won't be another five billion years. Even the live on Earth can survive and already DID survive worse things than those that "Save Earth" initiative wants to prevent.
(However, often there is significant doubt that HUMANS can survive it. It should've been named "Save Humans".)

Have you seen my page on the issue and possible solutions yet?

I'm really glad to see someone raising awareness of what OCD really is. Sometimes it's like sharing your head with a bully who actively hates you and picks at your every single fault - imagined or otherwise. Sometimes it involves cataloguing every single mistake or bad thing in your life and repeatedly stewing on them. The part that people see is only a tiny fraction of it, and it almost unanimously it seems to make them feel like they are the real victims of your condition. Which is awful.
But mostly it's like having a godamn fire alarm klaxon going off in your head almost constantly, with the brief silences that almost make things worse by showing you just how good it is when that sodding alarm isn't going off. A truly OCD person can become stressed over literally nothing because their brain invents hypotheticals that are often impossible or stupidly unlikely.
And yeah, a lot of the time preforming a specific repetitive action switches off that alarm for a while and soothes your nerves. That action can be tidying, or flipping a light switch to make sure it's off, or washing your hands to get rid of germs, chemicals, or just vague 'contaminates'.
Or arguing on the internet to quell the little voice that says 'the other guy is right'.
 

Twilight isn't the vampire, Fluttershy is.
Oh.  Wait, you mean the other one.  My bad.

The most shipped character is obviously a character that has a ship.
Kirk, Spock, or Popeye.

... and how many she have ...
(Note: I'm not sure what the thing with hands is. I am aware of the issue with "breathing manually" and "aware of tongue", but I don't think I have something similar with hands ...)

Maybe a series of "You're Always Covered" adds? 
"My house got stomped flat by a monster!"
"That was actually a tornado, but even if it was a monster you'd still be covered."

I'm not even from that continent!

Only tangentially on topic, but http://www.egscomics.com/sketchbook.php?id=757 is a nifty case of Boing! having an ID of 757, which has nothing to do with aviation (it does, in fact, fall between 756 and 758).

It's Boing, not Boeing.

"Ew!"

"I was referring to the extent the law of the immortals is holding me back."

"Then say that!"

Speaking of good or bad parents, https://m.reddit.com/r/raisedbynarcissists/ might just lose you your faith in humanity.
Back (more) on topic, while not perfect, Ed Verres has not shown himself to be nearly as bad as it might get (he did relent on the TF Gun and Grace after realising just how much they meant to Tedd, after all).  And thanks to Noriko, he's been having to work it out on his own for much of it, something which I do not envy.

Also, the top religions today whose followers would be offended are monotheistic, and it is extremely implausible that Immortals, either singly or collectively, qualify as The Creator Of The Multiverse.

Sadly, most people get more formal training for their paid jobs than they do for (what should be) their most important job.
Edward Veres has done some things wrong in the process of raising Tedd.  But I still would not call him a bad parent
