If true, that’s an intent I can get behind. But even if it isn’t, given my own inclination towards contrived shenanigans to scratch some weird itch in my brain, I’ve come to accept such things as harmless quirks and treat them with the same patience I’d want others to treat my own with.

And every now and ðen, I try someþhing myself and realise what fun it can be ;-)

Something about the density of innocent and helpless prey really appeals to people who like to prey on the helpless and innocent.

Nerds doing something unnecessarily complicatedly for the fun of it? I’m not particularly surprised.

I hope your weekend is as awesome as you are

Rough estimate using 30 days as average month would be ~35 months (1050 = 35×30). The average month is a tad longer than 30 days, but I don’t know exactly how much. Without a calculator, I’d guess the total result is closer to 34.5. Just using my own brain, this is as far as I get.

Now, adding a calculator to my toolset, the average month is 365.2425 d / 12 m = 30.4377 d/m. The total result comes out to about 34.2, so I overestimated a little.

Also, the total time is 1041.66… which would be more correctly rounded to 1042, but has negligible impact on the redult.

Edit: I saw someone else went even harder on this, but for early morning performance, I’m satisfied with my work

if you have nothing worth bragging about, resorting to basic functions of sapient life for clout is the best you can do. I’m a thinker too. I’m also a breather, an eater and plenty moee things that aren’t special.

I’ve got some actual achievements too, such as being a former piece of shit, so I’ve actually got a leg up on him!

I never had one of my wired earbuds fall off the platform at the train station and disappear in the gravel, nor did I ever have isues with forgetting to charge them, let alone their case being brolen and not charging at all. And if I want to switch my favourite headphones over from my PC to my phone, I’m really glad my old phone still has a jack.

Einige von denen sind schon

There should be an open communication standard that all robots use to communicate with each other.

Yes!

And it will only be used for good and nothing nefarious.

Oh no

Ads is from advertisement, not adds

Aren’t they fractions rather than floating point decimals?

Nicht wirklich. Die Chefin von dem Stall hält da wohl jedes Jahr Nachtwache, aber letztlich kannst du halt gegen den Fluchtreflex von Fluchttieren nicht viel machen wenn es kracht und bunt blitzt.
Hilft halt auch nicht wenn du selbst besorgt bist, ob irgend ein Genie “zum Spaß” Böller ins Stroh- oder Heulager wirft oder auch nur ne Rakete unglücklich abstürzt. Ist zwar unwahrscheinlich, so weit draußen, aber Menschen kommen manchmal auf echt beschissene Ideen und selbst ein mal ist ein mal zu viel.

Äußerst passend zum Bild: wir haben ein Pferd (in einem Offenstall mit einigen anderen). Da kannst du am 1. Januar vergessen irgendwas mit zu machen. Wenn das Adrenalin dann irgendwann nachlässt sind sie fix und fertig. Da legt sich mittags oder so dann die ganze Herde zum schlafen hin weil sie die ganze Nacht voller Panik auf und ab gerannt sind.

In fact, just right-to-repair the whole car. In fact, the whole everything!

Boy, that escalated quickly

But yes, please.

I feel we’re missing context. The core question is the utility of the first to the second, either in terms of helping with the quest or at least by dint of providing pleasant company, relative to the effort the second invested for having the first join their journey.

If the first was just a drag, some stranger or acquaintance that heard about the quest and wanted to tag along, made nothing but trouble and the second figuratively carried them all the way out of sympathy or kindness, I’d have some measure of understanding for their frustration. Their outburst would still be pointlessly rash and vengeful, given that the effort is spent already and kicking the other off won’t restore it, particularly without knowing the motivation (for instance, the vanilla ice cream being particularly delicious there), but in making someone else haul you along on a difficult quest, apparently with little regard for whether that effort would be worth it or clarifying their stakes from the outset, I’d rule that ESH.

But if the first pulled their weight or even helped, it would be straight up ungrateful and cruel over nothing but personal preference.

Why am I overanalysing the morality of a four-panel comic again?

Sure, if that’s what you want to look at for comparison, though America has plenty of its own (as do other nations). Pretty sure extreme wealth knows no allegiance but to itself. Nations are pawns to them, nationality a way to draw lines, nationalism a way to make people fight over those lines instead of fighting the vampires making bank off of that conflict.

Whether you’ll end up under Russian exploitation, American exploitation, European exploitation, Chinese exploitation or literally any other oligarchy you could come up with doesn’t really matter.

Better to fight for a chance at freedom than fall for the deception that a particular flag makes one parasite better than the other. And if it should come to violence, maybe it will at least train a force of veteran resistance fighters if the eurasian powers come knocking. We’ve got a live demonstration of how a motivated resistance can give an imperialist invader a hard time.

War is a waste of lives and resources and regrettable in any circumstance. I hope that changes for the better can happen without resulting in bloodshed and destruction. I hope for a better, happier, more prosperous future for all of us.

10 days seems too low to fully grasp the misery of long-term homelessness, and a few millionaires isn’t quite the same as a few billionaires. Still, I like the premise.

Ideally, the support would be so overwhelming that it doesn’t come to actual protracted violent conflict. But if the alternative is an erosion of civil rights by a greedy oligarchy, I have little faith that they’d actually oppose “eurasias plan” either, so it doesn’t seem like there’s much to lose here.

Nope, McTurtle got rich along the way. But his lifelong goal has been packing the courts.

He is literally salivating like he just walked into a salad bar at the 42 vacancies Biden is about to hand over.

Moscow Mitch is a politician, and a good one (in the sense of “good at manipulating political affairs”, not “a good person”). He’s a canny cunt, and that’s the most dangerous enemy you could come up with: one that knows what they’re doing.

Hey, here’s a thought. You know about the guy that shot a parasite in NY? AOC could try that too. She’d need enough vocal (and armed) popular support to avoid conviction (and retaliatory assassination) and it might turn into a civil war, but it might also work.
