Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority"

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person"

and they think they're being fair but they aren't, and it's not okay.

This is so well put I am stunned

This was very satisfying though.

Well it doesn't work on the joker...

**Alt text:**

Six-panel comic featuring Wonder Woman and the Joker.

**Panel 1:** Wonder Woman catches the Joker with her golden lasso. She says, "Thanks for being slightly clumsy today, Joker!" Joker replies, "You gave me a chance to snare you--" Wonder Woman finishes, "--with my magic lasso."

**Panel 2:** Wonder Woman commands, "And now I command you--tell me the truth! What is your real reason for being here?" The Joker sighs and says, "Sigh! Sorry, dumplings--I simply loathe your golden rope!"

**Panel 3:** The Joker smiles and says, "You see, it clashes with my suit!" Wonder Woman asks, "You don't mind if I remove it--?" The Joker exclaims, "WHAAT?! B-but you can't do that!" Wonder Woman replies, "Anyone bound by that lasso must tell the truth!"

**Panel 4:** The Joker laughs and says, "Not me! Commanding a person to be truthful presupposes that he knows the difference between truth and falsehood! And--since I'm a bona fide schizophrenic--I'm incapable of making that distinction! Ha-ha-ha!"

**Panel 5:** The Joker wraps the lasso around Wonder Woman while saying, "Sorry to take up your time--I can see you're all tied up! Ha-ha-ho." Wonder Woman looks alarmed. In the narrow middle panel, Wonder Woman, now tightly bound, thinks, "This can't be happening--!"

**Panel 6:** The Joker walks away and says, "Oh, and do be careful--there's a banana peel right behind you." A banana peel lies on the ground behind Wonder Woman. She replies, "Nonsense! Nobody really slips on banana peels!"

The "you guys are getting paid" meme, but the caption says "You can see the change logs?"

This is either not what you mean, you don't have access, or you just haven't seen this?

Something about your phrasing compelled me to make this...

Screen cap from the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode 'Darmok'. It shows Captain Picard, confused, looking at the Tamarian, Captain Dathon. Captain Dathon faces away from the viewer, with an arm outstretched to Picard.

The meme caption reads, across two lines:

Ursula, when Sergei grabbed an entire lumpia roll

And would not release it.

A three panel Simpsons meme.

First panel: From Bart Simpson's POV, the whole class leans in and says: SAY THE LINE ALEC

Second panel: a screenshot from the quotes video, of Alec saying "suck, squeeze, bang, blow" with completely perfect deadpan expression.

Third panel: a view of the whole of Bart Simpson's classroom, with everyone looking ecstatic except Bart. The caption reads Wahoo!!

I had to check what your local weather is and I was surprised!

I think this is vastly better

Ursula K. Le Guin: Ideal schedule:

5:30 a.m. -wake up and lie there and think.

6:15 a.m. get up and eat breakfast (lots).

7:15 a.m. get to work writing, writing, writing.

Noon -lunch.

1-3 p.m. reading, music.

3-5 p.m. -correspondence, maybe house cleaning.

5-8 p.m. make dinner and eat it.

After 8 p.m. I tend to be very stupid and we won't talk about this.

I go to bed at 10:00 p.m.

If I'm at the beach there would be one or two long walks on the beach in that day. This is a perfect day for me.

I've googled for these photos, but this is quite common in the UK.

Cylindrical dishwasher filter with mesh and various layers of concentric plastic grills that slot together

The base of the dishwasher the filter slots into, in action, with water spraying everywhere.

I was more thinking this scene...

Screen cap from the Lord of the rings film, of a scene where a single orc charges the walls of helps deep with a torch to set fire to an explosive that will breech the walls.

Always fun to know the vibes I give

Screenshot of a website, with the following text:

5. How does one become an earl?

Unlike others, earl titles are handed down from father to son and cannot be bestowed upon an individual. So, the only way to really become an earl is to be passed the title from one generation to the next.

@hankgreen.bsky.social you say UFOs caught on tape are always fake, and your default position is "I don't know" well... Explain this!

Two post it notes, the lower one says "UFO, caught on tape" written in Sharpie pen and the upper one is a fine liner drawing of a UFO, stuck to a bit of sticky tape in the corner of a doorway or bookshelf
