A great one at that
- Comment on Infinite Monkey Theorem 3 days ago:
Since monkeys tend to hit the same keys repeatedly, rather than trying them all out at random, I’d say your second order monkey business is actually more likely to succeed than the first set of monkeys ever typing out Shakespeare is.

- Comment on Rocky rock rocking 2 weeks ago:
This implies that you can both see where the electrons are and where they’re going. Obviously that’s impossible.
- Comment on Is Baldurs Gate 3's voice acting so great that it ruined other games for me? 2 weeks ago:
mass effect and the first few dragon age games had great acting, Kingdom come has great acting, most of the Sony exclusives have great acting, it’s out there. It’s just rare.

Sir I am at work.
So obviously I’ll take a nap
- Comment on Starbucks continues to be terrible 5 weeks ago:
THAT’S NOT TRUE
THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE
- Comment on Starbucks continues to be terrible 5 weeks ago:
Fair warning, if you’re brewing coffee at home it’s still possible to buy Starbucks.
Most of the coffee at Costco is just rebranded Starbucks beans. A lot of dark roast coffee is secretly shitty Starbucks beans. If it smells like cigarettes at any point, you’ve probably got Starbucks coffee.

It’s very surreal seeing a screen cap that could have been taken from your phone, but definitely wasn’t.

- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 5 weeks ago:
Land is land. We don’t get any more. Some land is inherently more valuable than other. We should be disincentivizing ownership of land unless it’s being cultivated or contributing in some way.
By saying that farms don’t pay property tax, we’re creating an avenue for billionaires to create “farms” and skirt taxes.
Instead what we should be doing is guaranteeing that crops will sell. Pay the property tax, use the land, and if your harvest fails at market, then the government covers the gap. But not before. I’m even cool with the government buying the seed and feed. That’s all renewable and contributes to a bountiful harvest. Having taxes to pay on the value of the land encourages it’s use, and pushes the wealthy billionaires away from wanting to own it just cuz. They’ll naturally look for the least valuable land if they just want a big ass estate. Who cares if they build a mansion on a pile of worthless rock?

If you’re retired or disabled, you’re not working a farm.
If you are working a farm, then you should be paying taxes anyway.

You realize there are literally dozens of examples of dense urban environments flooded with small private businesses right?
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 5 weeks ago:
If that was satire, it was incredibly well done. If it’s red sincere, it’s a great example of why property taxes should still apply at a certain point.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 5 weeks ago:
at the primary residence up to .25 acres. Anything more than that should be taxed as normal.

I would like to contribute labor to developing a discord alternative.
I also don’t know shit about fuck. Is this not something that can be made open source?

It’s not just the leaves, it’s humans fucking with the environment, on a macro and micro scale. But that’s harder to convey in a single panel

I feel no regrets for anyone that takes a stall next to me and dares to stay on the phone.
They’re gonna know what you’re doing, and you’re going to know what I’m doing. Loudly.

We are in the middle of an insect apocalypse.
Remember when you were little how many fucking moths there were? Couldn’t keep the porch light on at night or they’d get in the house and you’d be finding moth carcasses all summer.
Now there’s just a few. Hardly see any anymore.
Same for house flies, and bees. I used to have to go and spray for wasps every spring, I don’t remember the last one I saw.
- Comment on Billionaires shouldn't exist 1 month ago:
Could you imagine the talent pool the most profitable companies would have if all net profits over X billion dollars were automatically redistributed to it’s labor force? Suddenly the wealthiest middle class on earth would be in the US until then somehow clawed that money back.

What prevents a mind from being uploaded, and continuing to exist in meat space?
A clone is closer to giving birth than transporting yourself. Even if you only cloned your consciousness. That’s a new being, and no longer “you.”

Bruh newborns sleep a lot.
So do women recovering from childbirth.
Most of what they’re doing is sleeping.
For multiple days, you’re kind of just at the hospital to be support when needed. There’s not a lot to do if you don’t bring it with you.
One thing is clear about a lot of guys here, and that’s that they don’t have children and are almost certainly single.
