5 days agoIs this inspired by the “my son cooked me food” post from today? If so, well done crafting it into a joke!

2·6 days agoIt did in fact make me think and I thank you for that. You won’t like the outcome of that thinking, though.
First of all, I’m far far away from being “mobilized”. I do agree that you could call what the killer did “terrorism” though, as he seeks to influence behavior by mortal fear (terror). Wheter the end justifies the means (as some would argue for example for "eco-terrorism) I don’t know. But I see how some people may feel like all other, more civil, avenues to change their life and the system for the better have been blocked off. But again, I’m far from being “mobilized” as in encouraging such behavior or even picking up a gun myself.
Now why did I laugh at the response? Simple: It’s morbid and unexpected, which are two aspects that I often find humorous.
Do I feel bad about laughing? No. The reason and the main difference to the “hate speech” you refer to are twofold: First, this joke is punching up, not punching down, as hate speech usually is. Second, hate speech is usually about what people are (black, asian, transgender, gay). This guy in contrast was loathed for what he did. That’s a major difference, since you can’t change what you are but what you do is in your hands.
I would love to hear a response from you but the condescension and smugness in your tone of writing makes me think that this won’t make you think.
Holy fuck. Not saying I agree (also not saying I don’t) but I laught at that answer.
One is politically motivated? Or what is the “official” difference? One happens in public? But why should one be investigated with more resources than the other?
2·9 days agoOh yeah, absolutely. “self regulation” of businesses is just BS.
Never ever believe companies when they make promises like “we will have x by date y”. Especially if date y is further away than maybe the end of the year. Shell also made big promises and then quietly dropped them. Of course the making of the promise came with a big PR budget. The dropping of the plans was silent. Weird how that works…

162·23 days agoYeah does it really make that much of a difference in terms of “being surrounded by idiots” whether 51% of the people around you are idiots or 49%? Sure, I’d prefer the 49% scenario, especially if there’s an election happening, but you’re still surrounded by idiots.
12·24 days agoQuestion: When Air leaks from the ISS, does it just orbit with it indefinitely as an “air bubble” or maybe a dispersed “air cloud” around it or will it eventually settle down into the atmosphere?
8·24 days agoAGAIN???
Billionaires were a mistake. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
IT WAS ONLY LAST TUESDAY???
Fuck, it feels like it’s already been a lot longer…
Fuck, now I have to listen to that. Such a good song!

I think you’re lying. I think you are a biologist or at least a citrus expert! Liar!
I love the idea of using a DOF effect in a drawing.
Also the drawing itself is hilarious!
3·1 month agoWait… I don’t get it, can you provide another example?
Nice! Please keep this updated, thanks.
Oh wait, you’re even the same person who made the mistake? That’s even better then! And good on you for taking it with such humor. =)
