  • You don’t need to worry about shit. Propaganda like the OP’s serves only to make you feel guilty about speaking up, pushing you to become one of MLK’s white moderates.

    If you’re in a position to advocate for a group who’s voice is being muffled, do it.

    You already know the distinction between that and talking over them - don’t let internet bullshit blur the line.

    Can’t find it for the life of me… Describing a web comic vs actually posting it always feels like a flop, but…

    Aliens abduct a physicist, who doesn’t seem to give much of a damn about the abduction but is instead enthused to learn about the alien tech on board, so they give him a tour of the ship. They get to the power reactor and start dropping a bunch of sci-fi jumbo about “We harness dark matter to… (sci-fi Ruth Goldberg machine) …and finally, we use the heat it generates to boil water and crank a turbine!!”

    *Physicist drops to his knees in despair and let’s out a dramatic ‘noooooo!’

     

    Paraphrasing heavily due to having shit memory. I thought it was a SMBC comic, but… /shrug.

    Still, I guess I gotta give them credit for being true believers in their wings standing on their own merit

    Every job I’ve ever held seems to have the same recurring character: a middle-aged+ balding obese man who regularly makes creepy/sexist/racist comments, and when told off, dramatically throws their arms up and laments about not being able to make jokes anymore.

    Anyway, one of the talking points this character routinely brings up is that they’ll go to Hooters, but actually just for the Wings - they’re really that good!

    …no, David, no one’s buying your bullshit. You go there because you like tits, and apparently not the ones hanging off the poor woman you’ve Stockholm syndromed into becoming and remaining your wife.

    But apparently the whole “I go there for the wings!” lie is so common that even Hooters execs started to believe it.

     

    …and seriously, why is David following me?? New job, there’s fucking David, sometimes with a mustache, sometimes with glasses, or a funny hat or something… but he’s always there.

    Either it’s the nostalgia goggles, or another example of enshittification… but I remember when gesture typing was exclusive (actually was it exclusive? I’m doubting myself now) to FlexT9 and it was like magic - your gestures could be sloppy as fuck and it was still shockingly accurate. Someone must have bought them out or something, cuz FlexT9 kinda just disappeared and gesture typing started to become a standard feature. But no longer a reliable feature… as evident by the number of times I had to manually correct the autocorrects in this post…
