Lmaaooo. 1870's teen boys fucking around with whoever called just because they felt like it.
There's a more unfortunate take to that as well, but I like to think they were pulling running refrigerator and mike rotch jokes the whole time instead.
When the first commercial telephone exchange began service in January 1878, teenage boys were hired as the first operators. However, the young men often played pranks on each other and their customers. Within about six months, the Boston telephone exchange decided to add a female operator, a young woman named Emma Nutt.
That's what I got from it too. It's such a dated way of looking at relationships that you have to already be aware of how they used to be depicted in order to get it. I love lucy would occassionally have similar story beats in the earlier show.
All I had to do to get my cat to respond to her name was to mostly only use it right before dinner time.
She still got mad at me for using any sort of canned food that wasn't for her, but at least she knew I wanted her attention, and even usually answered, whenever I called her name.
Heat pumps move heat from outside to inside, and they use less energy than the amount that is brought into the insulated area, resulting in efficiency numbers over 100%. (less energy used than the amount brought inside was used to bring the inside energy levels up)
If the point of a rating is to be used as a predictor for how much you might enjoy a movie, then it might be worth switching to a three star system and weighing the star choices of other reviewers higher or lower based on how many previous movies you rated similiar to them.
I expect it's the same way people treat regular streamers, they're just a bit less careful about how they talk about their favorite vtuber in public than they way would a regular streamer.
That is his thing, but the joke here is that his blood is also often represented as wine / grape juice. The unexpectedness of it is where the humor of this specific strip comes from.
Hrmm. See, that's different too. I can't say I disagree with her though. He's, at best, only okay in that movie. They tried to do him up like a popstar, but it doesn't quite really work. Older Lou Diamond Phillips is way hotter.
If she was thinking of him without facial hair, I'm with her. If she was thinking of him with facial hair and still not liking it, I'm with you. You'll have to ask and clarify for us next time you see her. The internet (me) needs to know if your friend has bad taste or not.
Despite the word being used, it's not actually a joke about rape. This is a joke on the same level as a weiner dog humping someone's leg. The perspective of an overly amorous duck with the main characters butt in frame add to the humor of it, but it's still only a crappy joke about an animal trying to get it on with a person.
I suspect how many printers he buys matters a lot less than the reach he has with his youtube channel for bambu's financial reports.
