I worked night shift when our roommate and his freeloading girlfriend would argue loudly in the apartment, and bc my computer was in the common area, the only recourse I had was to listen to music on FULL BLAST to block them out
which is around when I stopped liking classical and light instrumental music
(in retrospect the “night shift” part doesn’t seem to make sense, but basically instead of being at work, I had to hear them fight)
[also she wasn’t employed at the time and I keep remembering when she tried to be helpful when apparently aware of her freeloading and absolutely wasn’t helpful at all, including leaving out freshly baked food when the rest of us had been loudly talking about seeing ants get in the apartment, then LO AND BEHOLD ants filled the kitchen]
No.
For several reasons, not the least of which is that she was drinking rum while I was having a Mike’s Lemonade.
Also, while lively, it was not even mildly heated.
Great. I’ll just be over here on the sidelines until someone works out a timeline that explains everything in terms of Before Nachitos and After Nachitos.
>I exist? Some nachitos argument we’ve roped ourselves into.
Also, point Joyce.

Well this is… weirdly familiar.
Literally 26 hours ago, my wife and I sat down on our sofa and did a “what is the nature of man” discussion. For fun.
Did either of you end up tossing a wineglass to the ground?
No.
For several reasons, not the least of which is that she was drinking rum while I was having a Mike’s Lemonade.

Did you manage to prove whether either of you exist?
@Xenocide
Of course not. That’s unprovable.
What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets!
When did Sal move back in?
“Doesn’t the fact that Nachitos exist prove the existence of a benevolent God?”
“Not if you consider the people who lived before it was created.”
Great. I’ll just be over here on the sidelines until someone works out a timeline that explains everything in terms of Before Nachitos and After Nachitos.
Philosophical arguments don’t appeal to me much these days. I think I’d prefer it if they were arguing about nachitos too.
“I drink, therefore I am.”
I am, therefore I drink.
BECKY: “So, what’r you arguing about?”
There is a long pause as JOYCE and WALKY look at each other.
JOYCE: “Couldn’t say.”
BECKY: “What, a secret between you?”
WALKY: “No, literally she can’t say because neither of us know!”
This is still one of my favorite all-time strips
