But why would your wife say “it’s very disrespectful to refer to them that way”? That doesn’t make sense either
It already doesn’t make grammatical sense because your wife hasn’t died, so you can’t refer to it happening in the past tense - you’d have to say “before my wife dies” which ruins the joke.
Pediatrics, Pedialite, and pedophile all share the same Greek root pais meaning “child”. The Ped-O-Jet was developed and named in the 1960s, decades before pedophiles became so prominent in our cultural consciousness.
Back then nobody would bat an eye at that name.
Harry and D’Arcy dated for a few episodes (maybe only one or two, I don’t recall clearly). There was a bit of teasing that Asta and Harry would be a thing at some point but thankfully that never materialized.
There were definitely romantic relationships with side characters - Sheriff Mike had a couple, obviously the mayor and his wife, Harry and the bird lady, Liz had a boyfriend (though he rarely appeared or was even mentioned), plus D’Arcy tried a few times to find love and Judy… had several flings?
He says at the end that in the next video he will talk more about Reckless Ben’s internet campaign, so I’m presuming/hoping that will be covered. This video was just talking about the legal complexity of the various claims, denials, and (actual and potential) arguments of all the parties involved in the ownership and possession of the property itself. The next one may be juicer in terms of criminal activity.
JFC take a breath. You went from 0-100 with absolutely no justification. Nobody is defending them, in any way, nor did anyone even imply that what they did was OK.
What in the fuck are you talking about?
Stations didn’t actually close, but it did hurt.
Trump’s Move to End Federal Funding for NPR and PBS Was Unconstitutional, Judge Rules | Chicago News | WTTW https://news.wttw.com/2026/03/31/judge-blocks-trump-order-end-funding-national-public-radio-and-public-broadcasting
The cutbacks took effect last fall and have had a variety of impacts on local stations across the country, as well as the national PBS and NPR operations. Some stations have laid off staffers and cut back on programming.
But the networks have remained on the air, despite Trump’s remark in January that “they’re sort of gone now, I guess, I heard they closed up. They were terrible.”
Which division? parent comment appears blank…
Board games and remotes are also fairly easily found at thrift stores
It happens during training, too,so I don’t really see a distinction.

I’m going to propose a different speculation from the other answers -which have some truth - but I don’t think it’s that deliberate.
My guess is that it’s because prisoners are adults that can sue, claiming “cruel and unusual punishment”, and win. Kids generally won’t. We’ll maybe now they would, but less so back then.
Another issue is that despite the basic principle that they both involve “corporal punishment”, there’s a world of difference in methods and purpose between them. Guards weren’t using a paddle to sternly swat prisoners’ bottoms, and teachers in school (generally) weren’t using billy clubs and fists to beat the shit out of kids. Guards use it for instant compliance and control, teachers use it as (harsh) corrective instruction. Obviously there were exceptions but overall that was the case.
It’s a common stereotype (I can confirm anecdotally) that whenever a woman goes to the doctor for any reason, the doctor will do one or more of the following:
This happens a lot. I don’t know the stats but it’s happened enough times to women I know to actually cause them to avoid medical treatment.
Not necessarily.
You didn’t provide any further context, so I will not bother providing further explanation.

It’s a little disturbing whether they could successfully breed.
It’s more disturbing that they would try.
Dude, you’re almost starting to understand what I’m saying, but obviously not there yet.
I forgot I had all the power and was the president of the world right now.
So, it would be simple and easy if an impossible and unrealistic condition existed. Not helpful.
I can get my own solar panels […] I can lobby my community
That’s a good start, and not hard. Maybe even simple, and/or easy. But it really doesn’t solve the whole problem - it only solves a tiny, tiny part of the problem.
You just need the people with power to actually push for the things I am saying
And how exactly are any of us going to get this to happen? Is it simple to get the people with power to do something? Or easy? Don’t you think there are millions of people who would love for exactly that to happen? Once again, if it were simple or easy, why hasn’t it been done?
It is simple
Oh man, I thought you were starting to understand.
It is not simple. It is not easy. Of course we need to get the people in power to make change. But that is absolutely not easy or simple. It’s like saying, “just cure cancer, duh!”
I do understand what you’re saying. I’m saying you’re wrong. It may be easy for one person to do certain things, but it’s NOT easy or simple to get many people to do enough to effect real change.
I get the impression that you want these things to happen. I agree that doing these things would improve the situation.
If they are easy and simple, why haven’t you done any of them?
None of this shit is rocket science and you are floundering in learned helplessness like our situation actually IS insurmountable. It is not, not by any means of the word.
Great! What’s your plan?
Because merely identifying another near-insurmountable cause and saying it’s “simple” or “easy” is pointless and dismissive. That’s my point. You’ve offered no solutions or even suggestions for how to find a solution.
You could fix this joke by instead saying “before my wife’s death” or “before the death of my wife”, and having her just say “that’s very disrespectful”.
