Maybe. Like I said, I don’t know for sure that I’m right, and I’ll admit it’s totally strange behavior for a normal adult man, but I do think there’s a chance that we’re injecting our own perverted assumptions on something we can’t understand.

Yeah, I can see that if you define inappropriate as “against societal norms”. I intended the word to mean abusive or sexual in nature.

I have a theory about Michael Jackson. First, a little background for reference. I am not a fan of MJ or his music. I respect his talent and what he did with it, but it’s not really my style. Also, I was a child when the accusations started. We all heard and told the jokes about him diddling little boys. I have no reason to root for or against Michael’s innocence.

That being said, I don’t think he did anything inappropriate.

I could totally be wrong. I wasn’t there and I’m not going to claim that my theory is undeniable truth, but after watching a few of his interviews, I noticed that he never acted like he did anything wrong. I get that someone without remorse would act like that, but typically they know what they did was wrong, and they lie and sneak their way around any implication of involvement. Not MJ. When asked about his “sleepovers” he never denied them. He consistently said “Yes, I did invite them over for sleepovers. Yes, we often shared a bed. We would stay up late watching movies and fall asleep in the bed. That’s what a sleepover is.” It didn’t feel like a predator denying abuse. It felt more like asking a ten year old how his sleepover went. They’d tell you honestly what they did, if they slept in the same bed, and wouldn’t think anything was weird about it, because they’re just kids.

Combine that with the abuse he suffered as a kid. His father treated those kids like a troop of trained dogs. Constantly practicing, constantly performing, always bringing in more money for the family. Michael was a superstar around age 6, and did not slow down until he was an adult, away from his dad and performing for himself.

I think that Michael Jackson never really grew up. He named his ranch Neverland, from the story of Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. I think MJ felt like HE WAS Peter Pan. He had no childhood, and never developed like the rest of us. He was a 10 year old mind in the body of an adult. I don’t think the amusement park in his backyard or the pet chimp were bait to lure children in, I think he just really wanted to live in an amusement park, race go karts, and hang out with like minded children like any insanely wealthy pre-pubescent boy would. Many of the children he hung out with have said that nothing happened, including Macaulay Culkin, who was his bestie for quite a few years. Even after MJ’s death, he said “He never did anything to me. I never saw him do anything. And especially at this flash point in time, I’d have no reason to hold anything back. The guy has passed on. If anything - I’m not gonna say it would be stylish or anything like that, but right now is a good time to speak up. And if I had something to speak up about, I would totally do it. But no, I never saw anything; he never did anything.”

Maybe I’m wrong, maybe Macaulay was groomed and helped MJ abuse other kids and cover it up, but I think Michael was just a emotionally undeveloped abuse victim trying to reclaim the childhood he never got to experience.

Nothing stopping you from going TRUE handsfree and using your nose or tongue to turn the page.

I’m with everyone else, if it was probably just a brain fart moment, let it go. If it was a situation where he thought he knew what to do, but was wrong, it’s probably worth teaching him the correct way, but it really doesn’t sound like that is the case.

More like a wolf dressed like a wolf that acts like a wolf and talks like a wolf but points at the sheep and says “Those are the wolves!”

Crazy cat gentlemen unite!

Which half?

Sorry ladies, this one’s taken.

I’m really leaning toward zero, but I could see someone overreacting to the presence of the ant and hurting themselves in the process.

It does seem too cheap, and I think the deciding factor on whether it could survive would be the special promos included in the Premium package. Stuff like free game currency or skins. The whales would gladly pay the extra to cover the rest of our cheap asses if they can get some exclusive cosmetics.

Maybe a noble gas, but I wouldn’t trust it for anything terribly important.

I wipe it off if the picture is out of focus

Your plan structure suits me perfectly. Mostly because I wouldn’t want most of the DLCs. I’ll take the plus expansion, because it’s worth it at that price, and I might temporarily upgrade to the day 1s if something I’m really excited for comes out.

Other than that, I can do without.

I know I’ve seen people with stuff like “Help me get quarters for laundry”

I’ve always associated Switzerland with consistent neutrality, but someone with more historical knowledge may correct me on that.

I’m not sure why we need to do this enigmatic dance before you’ll answer a simple question, but what the hell, I’ll play along.

To me, the comic suggests that the artist goes to therapy and frequently doesn’t know what to talk about, and in an attempt to be relatable to others with similar experiences, they have listed various acceptable options, and added some silliness to make it funny.

Can it be your turn now, or do you have more riddles for me to solve first?

Can you explain the connection between the comic and your question?

I can’t help but wonder if this was a correction, or intentional sleight of hand.

If the last change never happened, and they just said the price goes up by $3 and COD is no longer included, would anyone be happy about that?

Same situation, but now we’re seeing it as a $7 price drop with no COD.

I might switch back to ultimate again, but not until there’s something in premium Gamepass that Im really interested in.

I don’t think so.

In fact, I’m curious why you link psychotherapy with patience.
