At least you had bots, I had an actual mod of a huge sub report me to admins because I asked why I was banned for quoting someone’s comment and then reporting them for hate, 12 years of good standing and a stint as a mod also just flushed because the site is managed by unpaid child labor.

My question was “what did she do that makes her a bad person” and you replied to my question with some vibe stuff, which I summarized, and now you’re butthurt? It’s okay to not like her comics, and that’s all I’ve read that she’s done bad.

I don’t get the big deal, I am not hiding that. Does that make my question in bad faith? Or does that make the way I summarized it hurt your feelings? I do not care, I just get really weirded out seeing internet hate campaigns against people who are fine and haven’t hurt anyone.

Ah, reddit mods. Truly the most underprotected class who don’t deserve such foul hassles due to their unimpeachable history and consistent, upstanding behavior.

So she didn’t actually do anything bad, you just don’t like her style. I’m not sure exactly how being a successful but mid cartoonist makes you a “shit person” but I guess that’s where we are in society.

I have seen this sentiment before and nobody’s been able to say exactly why she’s a “shit person.” What did she do?

This is why corporate America wants our population uneducated and tuned out and hooked on AI slop and distractions.

Regular walks are the absolute best thing you can do for your dog and yourself.

Across suburban humanity, there are countless millions of dogs who get to stare at the same walls every day, all day, and they are creatures designed for roaming and running down prey. For that matter, so are you.

Dogs get depressed and anxious, people get depressed and anxious. Walking helps with that.

The beach is a nesting ground of vast biomes of creatures, singled-celled, through to vast arrays of worms, some parasitic, all the way up to burrowing arthropods like sand fleas and their many, many cousins. We don’t usually have problems with any of this stuff when we swim or hang out on the sand because… and I cannot stress this enough, we do not eat raw produce we find in the sand.

Please do not eat raw produce you find in the sand.

Laughs softly in spreading American corporate virus

I wish everyone who reads it would have as positive of an interpretation/association.

Like, imagine if we decided that books older than five or ten years were suddenly not worth reading

I can’t even get anyone I know to try reading Hail Mary before watching the inevitably less satisfying movie, and these are educated people who like science fiction, and the book was written exactly for today’s readers with shorter chapters.

Rates are falling, the book may go the way of the radio. Not gone, just not shaping society like it used to.

Welcome to getting old in the new millenium, where the things you loved are still kept fresh and can be still seen all over the internet, yet they are still… inextricably, old. I do not know what the next generation’s idea will be of intellectual development, but if it follows the patterns of history, likely we will hate it. With a deep, burning fire in our aching bones.

Office Space came out in 1999. There are people already planning their mid life crisis right now who haven’t seen it.

No but they will have an entirely squirrel themed Magic deck.

Compare this percentage with how many are MAGA and you start to see a distinct pattern.

Too late, already been lured away by the seductive embrace of Inland Empire and Electro Chemistry together.

If you pack and unpack something enough, the wrinkles kind of distribute more evenly instead of those sharp “square” patterns. Looking at the other hints in the picture like the fence in the background and the concrete slab, it seems this was set up hastily in some lot or alley.

Look at that “yard.” Weird old cheap red-stained lumber behind a “rustic” fence that doesn’t even reach the bare, dirt ground, a bare concrete slab, folding chairs just unwrapped with factory wrinkles, cables laying on the ground like a stagehand set it up, and absolutely no personal touches other than the smoker and barbecue.

This was obviously staged in some lot or ally behind the Meta Factory or wherever the fuck Zuck incubates and “smokes meat.”

People are far more scared of inconvenience than death.

Most people would rather put their pet down than have to care for them in some new way that requires money and attention, and this is what people who don’t understand autism think it is, like they will have to strap their dogs into a special chair and spoon-feed them.

Same with people. Most ignorant anti-vaxxers are far more terrified of being locked into caring for a disabled child than having a child die from a “natural” disease. And while they don’t consciously think this way, some layer of their brain has indeed weighed this out and formed their opinions.

No, and I’ve been giving it a lot of thought.

I had a brief, fanciful idea a few years back that if everyone starts using AI that it would help increase personal education and knowledge throughout the world.

That worked out as good as the feeling I had back in the mid 90’s where I said “Wow, if everyone has access to all this information, the future generations of this world are going to be fantastically intelligent, we will have starships by the time I’m old!”

We might need to accept and start compensating for the hard fact that we are just complex apes and have fundamental limitations as populations. It might not get better. We might make more new things and we might create new ways of living, but we’re always going to be spiraling around our own limited cognition and our survival instincts that make us forget to think.
