did some digging and found a higher quality image:

and i think i found the artist, but i can’t seem to find the original post unfortunately

i find that using tone indicators was a good habit to get into, they’re a bit clunky yea but sarcasm is hard to parse by itself, let alone through text and god forbid if you have some neurodivergence on top of it all. if two characters are all thats needed to save a collective 5 minutes of human life i see no reason not type them.

[David Attenborough voice] And here we see the average lemmy user, whose hatred for microsoft is so great as to overpower their ability to parse basic metaphor, Truly a remarkable creature.
They will spend the rest of their day tweaking config files and contemplating distrohopping. /j

they say they provide a service, one most would agree is useful to society. they then use that power to gain immunity over their actions, to the tune of hundreds if not thousands of people justifying their violence one way or another.

switching cops out for some other professions is meant to show how ludicrous it is that police brutality is a thing is. because if literally any other group of people had the same problems it would be assault.

it’s the only written language worthy of the whispers

woa you can’t say that about the Irish man

even in cs i have heard tales of people made to take coding exams on paper. i can only hope they weren’t using some verbose language

it’s overly online gay slang for ageing basically. quite dumb

love have you checked the link? attraction to fat hairy men is a cornerstone of queer culture and history.

also when i said that comparing queer attraction to pedophilia is bad i wasn’t saying the attraction was bad (it is, don’t get me wrong), i was saying the comparison itself is bad.

if you have somehow managed to avoid the last half decade of politics– in which case tell me who your geosomnologist is cos i want some of that– the global right-wing has been calling LGBT folks groomers for a while now. so if you make such a comparison yourself not only are you signaling to us that you’re one of them, you’re also signaling it to them too.
i hope i don’t need to explain why that’s bad

a. eye of the beholder
b. beauty is not a default state of being*, it requires effort. How much effort of entirely up to you, if you like yourself with makeup (and yes this does go for men too) then use makeup, if you don’t then don’t bother. do you think you’d like longer hair? shorter? colored?
And if you think you’re so uniquely ugly as to be utterly sure that nothing you can do will make you happy you may want to interrogate those feelings, there’s probably more going on under the surface there.

* this does not mean that someone who is unwilling or unable to put that effort in is “ugly”. this is about your perception of yourself. your perception of other is irrelevant unless asked for

i’m going to be charitable and assume that you just don’t know better so here, but you should be aware that equating queer attraction to child molestation is uh. Not Good, actually.

well yea it’s haunted thats where your soul is

the last panel sounds like “so much for the tolerant left”

not a perfect solution but better than nothing, i’ll keep it in mind

sounds nice but no i need those extensions

no. i literally just want a way to open a site from an app shortcut in firefox.
