  I had a lousy impression of the US school system, but I never realized it was this bad…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drug deal⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The waiters still check, for some reason. I always order a cola here, and still get “is pepsi ok?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Confederacy (or whatever)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What are you talking about, what’s a dildo? That’s mom’s figurine collection, she likes them very much and plays with them all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aeroplane⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Pff.

  Just caption an Airbus. Assuming you’re in flight, you just need the buttons to engage cat III auto landing, make wings bigger, make wheels stick out, and brakes after you land.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I said, LOOK at it!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it, maybe cause I don’t have Instagram. What’s this meant to represent, since I assume it’s not about trucks doing impossible u-turns

  Some humans are like warlocks, but with words. Wordlocks, really.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is astonishing.

  He’s hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

  But the issue is that we know full well that they’ll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An Idea That I Could Get Behind⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How did you make the r and n almost completely overlap? Letter sorcery…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He makes a great point⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly! Barking isn’t some sort of language in an of itself, it’s only a minor part of how dogs communicate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beauty standards are insane these days ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree. Millipedes ads are getting absolutely crazy in the last several years, and must be stopped!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weeks of research⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ahahah! You gotta watch The Boys now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We could have lived in a world where Hideo Kojima made a Matrix game, if only someone had told him he was offered to make one⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  KOTOR is such an amazing game… I’ve replayed it recently hoping it would ruin my childhood recollection of it being god tier. It didn’t, it’s still an amazing game after all these years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lead gasoline for cars is gone. Lead pipes are still around.

  You’re concerned about the big problem that we already solved? Bro, you need to re-prioritize.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, but the safe level of lead is none. This is especially true for children.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ok, boomer⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  While lead pipes were banned in 1986, millions of lead service lines remain in service across the US to this day…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discuss⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that the same? If you’re eating peanut butter and chocolate together frequently, you’re probably not long for this world…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All I’ve got is wood, and I still need to beat it to a pulp, which is why I was considering beaver butts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EU Chat Control didnt pass - proving the media got to alot of you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.

  That’s not how this is meant to work. That’s a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell’s about to break loose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If that’s why you think they’re wankers, I have news for you.

  What kind of scissors are you posh people buying, that come in boxes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cause and Effect⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah so close. This comic should end with

  “I did my own research”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're coming.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m calling it now: the 9-banded armadillo will be adopted as Canada’s mascot in the next decade, after they become the main species in the Canadian deserts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bored⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A throwback to the OG troll that wouldnt let you cross the bridge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think it’s related to patterns, it’s the methodology.

  Sure, there’s some groundwork that needs to be memorized in different fields, but this is like learning your first words. These are necessary so that we can communicate with each other, and they serve as building blocks upon all rest is built upon.

  Everything else we are mostly taught by learning how some old guy came up with an answer, making clever use of the tools that we also have.

  After a while it sort of clicks that there’s a method to the madness, you build up and up until you get to the moon, and you get this feeling that anything can be explained logically - we might not know how yet, but surely it will be at some point.

  Unless it’s quantum physics, fuck that.

  It feels like there’s a lot of people who skipped these building steps, maybe they were just memorizing stuff to get by the exams without exercising their brains on the methods to reach those solutions, or were simply never taught, and now they just don’t have the tools to make sense of what’s around them, and will blindly follow a monster that assures them that they’ll be ok as long as they do this or that…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HHS employees demand RFK Jr. resign for ‘compromising the health of this nation’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Resign? No, no, no. Arrested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Rant) Don't buy Rockstar games.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For all we know, it’s a 50/50 that the customer service guy receives back an email back from that email that supposedly is not accessible saying “WTF I have no idea what you’re talking about, was my account hacked?”

  But since you’re that gullible - hey bro, that wallet in your back pocket is mine, I put it there when I washed my jeans. Hand it back now, I paid for it and I’m 100% entitled to it!!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨“Me and my friend show that my dad’s Airstream trailer goes faster with dints and that we shouldn’t be grounded for hitting it with a baseball last Saturday”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. Like with most articles, I read the abstract and skipped ahead to the conclusion - they couldn’t get sufficient data to prove their theory but further research looks promising.
