To sum up these panels: Thor is recently returned to Earth. During his time away (he was "dead" IIRC) hurricane Katrina happened. This is what he finds when he comes back, and he wonders why no one else helped. The next panels feature some residents confronting him and expressing their anger at how abandoned they felt.
Basically, in the Marvel universe the heroes constantly save people from fictional natural disasters like storms and floods. When a big one happens in the real world the writers either ignore it, or try to come up with a reason for why the heroes couldn't save people. It's a touchy subject. If you show them saving the day and rewriting history, it's obviously hurtful to victims and survivors. If you don't acknowledge it at all, it can sometimes feel conspicuous to the readership. It becomes an elephant in the room, especially the next time a comic story would involve that region of the world (imagine if Marvel never acknowledged the 9/11 attacks, but kept most of their NYC-based stories).
Unless its in a Garth Ennis universe where super heroes make the disaster much worse...I am not sure if I want to continue with "The Boys".
Everytime I hear the beginning of "Thrift Shop" I start to fantasize about punching myself in the head until I have lost all memory, and then deafening myself so I might never hear it again and remember that fucking horrible child voice asking Macklemore if we go thrift fucking shopping, and then like 245 repetitions of wha-wha, wha-wha

It's baffling that Thrift Shop and Same Love come from the same people.
Ate a juice orange...odd consistency. Felt like it was frozen. Fleh, least it cleared up my indigestion!
Because thrift shop is a fun song while same love is awful.

My roommate and I concocted a simple way to shame eachother into being healthy:
It only counts as a FIT day if you both ate healthy,AND got a good workout in. Doing only one or the other doesn't count. If you ate at McDonalds it doesn't matter what you did for exercise that day, and if, like me, you subsist on a diet that is 98% raw vegetables, it doesn't matter if you didn't exercise at all. The workout can be anything within reason. If you are remotely unsure whether or not it was enough to qualify, then it doesn't. We've also taken to playing the final 17minute level of We Love Katamari while standing up and running the entire time.
Wouldn't work for me, I have no shame.

Wouldn't work, didn't photosynthesize either. That's right, a potted fern accomplished more than me today.
And yet, you contributed exponentially more to the greater good than your average Kardashian.

That's just Bajoran propaganda.
I loved those so much I just bought a copy of each.
What is the difference between an "all-in-one" toilet and a regular toilet? My friend brought this question up to me after seeing a box outside a neighbours' place marked "all in one toilet" that had a picture of what appeared to be a regular toilet on it. I've looked it up and it seems the term applies to basically all toilets, except for the old timey ones like in the Godfather bathroom scene. I think we can just call them regular toilets now, right? Old timey toilets aren't the norm. They're old timey.
If you don't have an all-in-one toilet, you may have to switch toilets mid poo.
When I was a teen I went through a phase where I would hate things because their names weren't accurate. Hated Dragon Quest because it wasn't about a quest to find a dragon, hated Monk because it wasn't about a Monk, etcetera. I miss being that crazy.
Yoshi...This message board isn't real. Its all in your head.

You have no idea how much this cheered me up.
I also notice myself chaning in other ways, changing catch phrases. I'm one of those guys who will say some odd thing that only makes sense to him, but every couple of time units I change it. I do not know why.

If someone creates a small image of a death magic wizard for use in a Linux GUI, is that a necro gnome icon?
For me its because it makes me want to eat German food. STOP MAKING ME HUNGRY FANDOM OF A MENTALLY SCARRED CANADIAN!
WTF Taiwan does NOT mean Terrace Bay...
*thinks about Taiwan's name some more*
Heywaitasec... it really DOES mean Terrace Bay... that's fucked up, I never realized that.
EDIT: But I don't see how China means "riceland".
