You know, sometimes I feel bad about gambling some money away on the stock market and feel a bit like a failure. But then I come across posts like these and I remember that at least I do not fuck up on a colossal scale like this.

Banks: Hold my beer!

And later blame it on the workers that unionized.

If I recall correctly, it's not infamous for being super depressing but because it used to be a light hearted web comic (CTRL+ALT+DEL) about nerds doing nerd stuff and then the author decided to go into this weird dramatic arch of an ongoing love story that just didn't really fit into the whole thing. The "Loss" strip was the overly dramatic peak of this arch and I think at this point people were already making fun of it. While the topic certainly is pretty depressing, it was more the fact that this whole thing was rather cringeworthy and over the top that started the whole meme.

Die Vergleiche mit diesen spezifischen Begriffen sind vielleicht absurd. Das bedeutet aber noch lange nicht, dass Israel vor jeder Kritik zu schützen ist und nie etwas falsch gemacht hat, wie es in diesem Interview rüberkommt.

Ist auch immer wieder schön, wie wir über die korrekte Verwendung von Vergleichsbegriffen diskutieren, während dort unten die Menschen auf beiden Seiten dahingeschlachtet werden.

And pushed Linux gaming into the spotlight once again!

While the comic combined with the text has a bit of an edgy vibe, I agree with the overall message. Advertising was just decided upon to be an acceptable way to force people to look at whatever. And no, it's not always an option to "just don't look at it if you don't like it". I fucking hate those advertising TVs that get set up all over my city, they grab your attention even more than regular billboards.

Ah yes, please acknowledge the good we are doing in this world: The bare fucking minimum.

What I really, really do not understand about these companies is that they could have easily played both sides and come up on top anyway. They could have continued to make a shit ton of money with oil and simultaniously invest in renewable energies and become the big players in that field too.

But I guess paying off corrupt politicans is much easier.

I fucking hate these piece of shit cars. I will never not think that they all have to compensate for something.

Not sure what to make of it but I really hope the point with "you're not an cis ally if not 90% of your friends are trans" is a joke. Otherwise it is such a bullshit take that shits on everyone who supports trans rights but does not have trans friends?

Edit: Now also got that part of the joke, my bad.

Wow, most of these points just sound like a responsible way to handle all the bullshit requests from employees. I'm not saying make it unnessecarily painful for employees to request changes. However, I currently work at a company that did the "just do it" approach for years, got big with it and now our department needs to clean up the bullshit of many years to get the company up to code with whatever regulations we are under and people still think we can continue working just like that.

What the fuck. Now go after their clients.
