I blame Alanis Morttisette for people confusing coincidence, weird juxtaposition, and shitty luck with irony.

What was the loan period?

Sounds more like you were a loan shark.

I use lots of FOSS software. I work in a municipal government job where I have to fill a lot of roles that aren’t funded as separate positions, so I use GIMP, Inkscape, and QGIS daily because the professional software isn’t budgeted. I also use OBS frequently, among others.

But GIMP is by far the worst FOSS alternative I’ve come across when compared against its paid competition. I hate Adobe the company, but Photoshop really is the gold standard.

I use both heavily. Oddly enough I use GIMP at work and Photoshop for my personal use and side gig.

If it’s more difficult to set up, then it may not be better for everyone.

Like it or not (I do not), the most important determining factor in American elections is people’s feelings about the economy. The horrors being done by our government are easy to turn a blind eye to. But the cost of living is something that can’t be avoided or suppressed.

Economic ruin is how we beat these motherfuckers.

There’s an etymology section about it on the wiki article on mice.

2 reasons

1 - they kinda resemble a milouse with a tail 2 - the cursor on the screen used to be called a ‘CAT’

Seems like a helluva Mars plan. I’m all for it.

My only addition is that we’d stop shipping the supplies and cut the comms once they’re up there.

The CollegeHumor skit this image is from is one of my all-time favorites. It was the first time I laughed my ass off regarding 9/11.

I dread calls at work more than anything in life.

Just send a fucking email.

Colby was a made-up story. The victim of this incident is a real, human person.

Yeah. At least Colby and the Jolly Ranchers didn’t involve harassment of an innocent person.

That would make building a $2500 iPhone in the US even more difficult.

Because of the child laborers making 85 cents an hour?

Name a job where interrupting a CEO’s presentation in public wouldn’t be a terminable offense. What employee handbook says “If you’ve exhausted all other internal channels and are unhappy with the company’s direction, just call out the boss in front of thousands of people and there won’t be consequences.”

If your company is that evil and unsettling to change, you call them out and resign. Calling them out but still wanting to be paid is saying you’re okay with taking blood money as long as you’re saying it’s bad.

While I wholeheartedly agree with her message, the reality is that any employee that interrupts a company event to criticize the company until they are escorted out of the room is gonna be fired regardless of the accuracy of their statements. We should be appalled at Microsoft’s complicity in Gaza, not that they fired an employee.

I applaud her for her stand, but she and everyone knew this would result in her termination.

You should see the auto shop guys cleaning out brake drums with an air hose and just spraying it all over the place without PPE.

Yeah. He can’t just go wherever. This isn’t Progressive Field (Cleveland).

Yes…

But what this shows is that even for those who want an evil system that benefits them, this administration is a disaster. There’s literally nothing good about it, even for greedy, evil capitalists.

Look at the Nazi insignia. It’s all AI garbled noise.

Because sometimes people have an idea for a relevant comic, but not the artistic ability to draw it. So, they use AI tools to create the artwork.
