Someone commented a reply which I thought worthy of highlighting:

“I need privacy, not because my actions are questionable, but because your judgement and intentions are.”

“because old people run them”

Agreed with you.

But not sure how they’d picture paint chipping off the wall in a way to connect the joke as quickly. Maybe they should have had the 3rd pane say “we used to drink straight out of the tap” and the last pane should’ve been them testing a sink.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

🔝 👌

Yeah but now it opens up another mystery because these movies aren’t actually romantic.

Where do they live?

Did you not read the title of the post?

That’s the wording a lot of other people would use, I’d say. I wouldn’t be able to put together a PC, and most people I know are like that. I have maybe two cousins that can. But we’d probably all agree that plug-and-play means that you buy something and it works just like that. For example, a refrigerator is likely plug and play, because you don’t expect to have to put together the components to make it work. You just plug it in and it works.

The original comment said “welcome to the majority of American living situations”

6-7= -1

Guys it’s -1!!

IT ALL TIES BACK

Very likely. Why not?

Haha yes, well explained. I’m familiar with this info (actually just finished reading Black Holes & Time Warps: Einstein’s Outrageous Legacy, by Kip Thorn which I highly recommend if you’re into this).

I meant event horizon, in this instance, but yes this comic isn’t meant to be accurate anyway (last pane). But to your original point - wouldn’t the black hole be a vacuum cleaner for all things within its event horizon?

Though you’re right, I assumed the point was that she got caught in the gravity well… Which does take her away without hope of return.

How was that an attempt at answering your question?

This^. Most of us are part of the Machine. Any revolution must begin outside of it.

Seems a nerve was struck…

I will also note that the way that generation made that money was part of the problem. They didn’t conjure that money from thin air - there were always going to be consequences for the systems created where that money was made.

Except also you don’t have to be filthy rich, you can just pretend to be. You might even become President one day!
