dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Cute Russian comic. The home of the official English version is here if anyone wants to skip ahead (or support them): https://boosty.to/gabiconomics-en

Education is the purposeful process of mass cultivation of skills and knowledge in the interests of the individual, society, and the state. The resulting knowledge assimilation is individually tested and verified by issuement of state-approved documents, detailing specific degrees of educational levels obtained by the citizen(diplomas).

Shouldn't this be titled Education rather than Supply and Demand? Anyway, this is very relevant with all the cuts to public education in certain countries these days.

Correct, you caught my copy/paste.

this is very relevant with all the cuts to public education in certain countries these days.

In most countries you'll find that there are 2 completely separate systems of education, one for the workers and one for the bourgeoisie. In most of europe for example the bourgeoisie are educated in private schools and then extremely specific universities. They get a different education to the workers.

It is, just seems like she accidentally forgot to change the title when copying from the last one

This is one of my favourites. I also like the implication that the cat is very very old

And don't forget, well educated (in bourgeois studies)

I would have made the joke that it turns a profit "no matter what he does" because he doesn't DO anything, idk the context with the rest of the comic but this comes off somehow pro bourgeois to me, like it's because he's so smart and educated that he can properly exploit his workers? Albeit with a bit of "the bourgeois are psychotic, subjecting their children to such indoctrination"

Aw server not available

Refresh should work or try this: https://boosty.to/gabiconomics-en/posts/4a924b31-6f35-4b4f-9387-bda047549689/media/5757da74-9490-43cd-ab09-376c4aa54cc6

Filesize is quite high so hexbear takes some time to serve it

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

follow-up, nope not on my PC either. I guess I'm just hated by the silly goblin comic gods

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

How about this one? Should be the direct image link https://images.boosty.to/image/5757da74-9490-43cd-ab09-376c4aa54cc6?change_time=1725406732

If this works then it's something up with how boosty is displaying the images on their pages. If it doesn't work then the server is blocking you for some reason.

this is completely random but its now working for me. no idea why but praise the machine demons

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I did light some incense earlier maybe that did it?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I thank you for sacrificing to the sacred flame on my behalf!

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Remember and give it a try next time i guess lmao

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

well good news it works. bad news I'm a tech barbarian so I got no idea what do do other than rely on you to drip feed fresh slop whenever you feel like it to get my fix.

then again not really bad news, just a bit inconvenient I get to moderate my intake of fresh acorns and corn cobs

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

Very strange one I don't know what to say

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Narp it doesn't like me still. Lemme check on the PC first and see if it's a mobile only issue

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

HUH that's weird. You can't view the image here on hexbear OR on boosty?

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

oh no I can see it here when you copy the image and post it here on our end, its just the website boosty that hates me
