  • What

  • You've been spinning around a massive ball of fire at 74 thousand miles per hour for a year 🤘

  • Does it apply to people online?

    Does it apply to people on a television screen?

    Does it apply to videos of people in the past, who have since changed their beliefs?

    What do I see if someone has convinced they are somebody else? Whose beliefs do I see?

    I kind of understand the premise ("what happens if we can't hide our beliefs anymore") but the details are too important to gloss over

  • New resume title just dropped

  • I'm terrified of censorship from Internet service providers. Have been since the battle for the Internet.

  • Deleted

    Gumroad PSA

  • You were so, so much more polite than I would have been

  • Do you mean you used to like writing software by yourself, on creative projects that you were passionate about?

  • Quite unlike the premise of the cartoon, right "mydoomlessaccount" ?

  • Todd Kyle Chad

  • You're taking my comment too seriously :) it was obviously a joke, don't you get it???

  • When talking about the letter of the alphabet, I say "double u"

    When that letter occurs in a word, it's pronounced with pursed lips and full throated vowel sound like in "water"

  • Couple of big misses here:

    Have you never heard of a blind spot? We are all different people with different experiences. --> fails to describe what a blind spot is. Although the meaning can be guessed by context, it's important enough to state directly, as the woman's ignorance of it is what causes the altercation. Here the artist should have focused on the original premise: how can you question how another person doesn't know something, when you yourself have blind spots?

    Another big miss: the silly ending which subverts the intent of the comic and leads to people wandering off (see comments about toilet paper below) when again it was possible to highlight the information problem.

  • From the article: "....identify hidden similarities between two different ideas. Metaphors are usually meant to create a likeness or an analogy"

    This is why education is important :)

  • Why not? This thread is achieving the desired outcome; discussion about the topic, exploration of solutions and critique, and attentiveness to the issue. If you don't like the way it's phrased because of some arcane rule you can piss off and participate in another thread.

  • I want your users to be angry because until now their position on overpolicing has been an echo chamber: "we need to make gradual improvements to the existing system and hope for the best".

    The purpose of your community is to generate discussion and thought-provocation, which I've accomplished.

    This post is "not essentially rage bait" and the suggestion is offensive. ALL revolutionary ideology is rage-inducing. We got to this point because of decades of abuse, how could a person not be enraged by it?

    Do you think I feel strongly about this issue and want people to change their minds about it, or do you think I came here to make people mad for fun? Do your job and stop the grandstanding.

  • No friendo, that is the point of metaphor; to compare two dissimilar things. I can forgive you for not knowing this, but I can't forgive your educational institution for not teaching it to you. I would request a refund if I were you, assuming you paid for it.

    Police and prisons are a crisis raging out of control; they are hurting innocent people, consuming a great deal of resources, stealing away the happy productive lives we were promise, and making us fearful of defending ourselves from abuse. It's exactly like a fire. Again you'll need to contact the facility that trained you to comprehend language because they're failing and should be made aware. Stay in school.

  • Ibuprofen? Sorry but please focus, I'd like you to respond to the message, not your immediate emotional reaction.
