Well, not “kind” of dark, but really dark. I mean, the cartoon couldn’t be more direct in comparing the “haitian Simpsons” to the jews and other racial minorities in Nazi Germany, with the last panel being a page from the life of Anne Frank.

Why the down votes? Bro asking a question and being legit curious, don’t be hating on someone that’s looking to challenge what they know just because it’s trivial to you.

There’s a science article that investigated why the Brits discuss the weather? I’m now mildly curious to know their methodology and conclusions…

- Comment on In 2019, Microsoft tried a 4-day workweek in Japan. Productivity jumped 40% 3 months ago:
This is the war that’s coming.
More and more processes are automatic, and AI is now breaking down the last holdout of “manual” jobs.
How will that future, where only a small percentage of mankind actually needs to work, look like? It could be heaven, but it’s shaping up to be hell unless we win these fights.
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 4 months ago:
I don’t know if this recaps the situation accurately, to be honest.
Sounds like the publisher is complaining about some article that’s trying to use the game as a reference on why early access can be a bad thing.
I don’t see how the gamers are an issue though. They will expect what you tell them to expect, this is something for the publisher to manage, and I don’t even think this is a problem for Manor Lords.
All of it just seems like news sites trying to come up with their clicks.
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 4 months ago:
Maybe this invention revolutionised how we clean our butts, or maybe it was utterly trivial and 20 different ways of cutting paper rolls were patented that same year (note that present day rolls don’t even use this method).
But that’s irrelevant to the point that seems to be implied here that patents somehow contributed to it’s success. They don’t, an invention will be useful or not based on its own merits, not on the fact they’re patented.
They exist to ensure whoever registered it makes a profit, which is why they’re being exploited way past the point of making up for any good they were supposed to bring…
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 4 months ago:
So the innovation that was patented is literally “cut it partway through”.
Patents are inherently stupid and only serve to stifle progress. Change my mind or otherwise just downvote away, works as well.
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 4 months ago:
People here be discussing the wrong thing, or am I the only one thinking that patenting a roll of paper is incredibly stupid?
It’s a damn roll of paper. How much of a genius do you have to be to come up with that? People have been doing it for millennia, the only difference is that it used to be so expensive that no one would think of whipping their butts with it.

My point is that coming to terms with who you are isn’t the destination, but the first step in a road of self improvement.
You’re only garbage if you stop there. Do better, one little bit at a time.
- Comment on Anon reflects on e-sports 5 months ago:
Thanks for the explanation.
OP’s point is a weird flex though, like pointing out that a bicycle never runs out of gas…
- Comment on I'm am myself and myself is bad at fitting in 5 months ago:
This is such a bullshit moral for stories, and it’s so overused that it boggles my brain. It’s just an outright lie - accepting oneself will NOT magically solve all of one’s problems, that’s not how reality works.

Techtonica is my new love. It’s like I’m still in my basement, but eerie, bioluminescent plants claimed everything.
Early in development, but really good IMO, even the story they have so far is really great.
