- Comment on Can I become a writer when this is the quality of my writing? Please be honest. 18 minutes ago:
without hating it
Note that this does not mean “loving it”. If I waited until I loved every single pen stroke I ever made, I wouldn’t have a comic.
Selection chosen deliberately
That was a double take for the ages, mate ;D

Oh come on, you were doing really well with your questions being interesting and novel and now you’re back to asking nonsense that you’ve asked and had answered a billion times before.

Don’t bother, they’ve demonstrated that they don’t want to have it explained.

This has been explained to you and your sockpuppets several times.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 3 days ago:
And if someone still enjoys those “horrible” shows at 87, it’s okay for them to watch them. That’s the point.

Because they’re the one with the streaming account.

Imagine this scenario: you have a group of friends. You’re not equally close with all of them but you all hang out together and do stuff together and you all get along fine in general. You help each other out with tools and food, you lend each other your cars, you attend each other’s parties, you defend each other against other people who are not part of your group, you might even date each other or each other’s siblings. It’s not always sunshine and roses but you’re generally able to solve most issues that arise by working together. Any differences in opinion can usually be resolved or worked around.
And then one of you starts acting out. They seem to go through some really tough shit. Maybe something happened in their private life that they’re not willing to share. Maybe there’s some serious medical stuff going on. They yell at everybody, antagonise everybody, don’t return the tools they borrow, don’t contribute anything to the biweekly barbecue, and demand that everybody come around every Friday and do work around their house, for free. Because of all the things they did for everybody else in the past or something.
You wouldn’t instantly kick them out of the group, would you? You’d try to reason with them, try to find out what changed, try to help with whatever issue they seem to have, maybe you’d try to sit it out and hope they get better on their own. You’ve been together in this group of friends for a long time and all of you have generally always benefitted from it. Also, you’re still using their streaming account and you’re only halfway through Last of Stranger Thrones.
It’s going to take a while until the people in your friend group, one by one, reach their limit and are ready to tell the person who’s making everybody miserable to fuck off. They’re not going to do it on their own either, they’ll be waiting for everybody else to signal their readiness, because they’re afraid of being singled out of the group. You can only hope that by the time everybody is ready, your houses and cars and families are still intact.
It’s infinitely more complicated on an international scale.

What’s going on is that Lemmy’s demographics are mostly made of huge nerds who thrive on references.

Missing context: this is part of a series, all taking place in Flatland.
- Comment on Is evolution only affected by mortality and birth rate? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure I understand the question.
does evolution only stem from survival of the fittest, or does our offsprings genetics change at all from the environment
Those are the same thing. The environment determines who can reproduce (most successfully) by selecting the fittest (meaning the one who is best able to adapt to the environment), thus changing the genes of the group in the next generation.
So yes, of course humans would evolve differently if they started living underground. For example they’d probably evolve larger eyes because larger eyes can see better in low light and make survival (and reproduction) more likely.
Or maybe I’m misunderstanding.

Heya, a bit of friendly criticism: this would fit the format better if in the last panel they’d be asking something like “why are people abandoning our product?!”

At least you realise that it would make you look good. That’s something.
More importantly, that age-old question: what answer that you haven’t had before did you expect? Also, how often are you going to repost this one, I wonder?

- Comment on If someone legally changed their last name to a last name a soap opera character has, how would you feel? 4 weeks ago:
That would be a rather dull LLM that basically only knows about superheroes, illegal street racing, and the daily lives of rich people.
Also, hey, I didn’t ask you, I want Nomad’s answer, don’t scare him off!

Interesting question. Now, you should know that I have come to think of you as a bit of a friend. Well, an acquaintance that I think fondly of, at least. Don’t want go overstep my boundaries here. But there’s so many memories we share, all my thoughts about you are warm and tender, I look forward to every new post you create. So in reply to your interesting question, here’s another question that has been haunting me ever since I first met you and that I honestly would pay money* to have a coherent, intelligible answer to: why are you never ever satisfied with the answers that you receive, so much so that you keep repeating the same questions?

Jordan Peterson, noted lobster admirer.
That’s not a quote from him though, they just drew the obvious mental association line between the quote and him.

lolwat
The intention was to make a statement.
And that statement was what, exactly?
We wanted the fans to be able to enjoy it for as long as possible.
Next up: watch paint dry.
- Comment on When did we get this old 5 weeks ago:
Things on the internet that claim to be more than 10 years old are obviously fake in general.
- Comment on Anon has a very specific goal 5 weeks ago:
That’s no law, that’s just the definition. Laws concerning incest differ from country to country but afaik they usually involve penis in vagina penetration (because of, frankly, outdated definitions of “sex”) so twin sisters could go at it if they like.
- Comment on Anon has a very specific goal 5 weeks ago:
Incest is just “sex between close relatives”. Procreation isn’t necessary.
(In this and similar cases I wouldn’t see an issue with it, btw. If they’re having fun, who am I to judge?)
- Comment on Why do non fans try so hard to engage with fandom? 5 weeks ago:
That’s your opinion and I can only repeat myself:
your opinions don’t ALWAYS correspond with reality.
