back in my day our bots just corrected Wikipedia links or turned comments into shitty haikus and we LIKED IT*

* well, no a lot of people did not like it

Anybody on here with an account age of roughly 2yr 10m is probably here because of the API changes lol

Straight to jail

I mean, they're used everywhere still and aren't exactly a dated form of timekeeping or anything even if digital clocks are preferred on computers

I think maybe it'd help if the guy didn't live 40 miles away from work. I'm not at all getting enough relaxation time but still, living a <10min bike ride from my office means I can sneak in some quick gaming on my lunch breaks if I wanted

Also I have no idea whether this comic is progressive or conservative...

Yes, thank you I did notice that.

The comment I was trying to make is that it feels like the comic is trying to make a point of something but I can't tell if it's pro- or anti-. As in, the depiction of the vidyagam obsessed guy is derogatory and the depiction of the chad-looking guy makes it seem like wanting time for relaxation is a self-failing and that you should aspire to be like the trad family man. All of the things the comic brings up though like the wage-slaving manager, excessive commute, etc are things that are real societal problems and the comic doesn't make fun of those complaints like you'd expect based on the depictions of the characters.

But I didn't want to write all of that out because it's a comic.

They say if you sail too far you could accidentally find yourself in the USA 🤢

Fair point yeah. I'm admittedly lucky with my office being so close but if I actually wanted to own my own property (I'm renting right now) I'd have to move way out to a neighbouring town which would put me at a similar commuting distance

I read World of Goo at first and got sad that the old 2008 phone game had fallen so far

Our collective response to getting fleeced is to just shrug and pay the higher prices while bitching about it.

What exactly can we even do outside of voting? Even that seems futile with the Liberals convincing* the left to vote for them "strategically". You can't really survive without a phone plan but there's no smaller telcos to use for 90% of people

Yeah, obviously my wife who just enjoys having cute interactive wallpapers is a pedo creep, right? It's fucking strange that your mind even goes in that direction

Nissan tracking your sexual activity is absolutely the weirdest privacy violation I've ever seen or heard of

“You’re telling me none of these people shop on Amazon?” said New Orleans native Jake Springer, who, along with his wife, was spending a weekend in Venice on a wine tour through Italy. “At least they are protesting peacefully. Americans could learn a thing or two from this.”

He briefly paused for the chamber’s prayer at noon

Wait what. I know separation of church and state is barely real in the USA, but the chamber actually does a prayer??

It's probably cocaine

I have no interest but it'd be hilarious if we (Canada) and Mexico can turn a profit on the thing while the US is passed over like the fly-over nation it so wants to be

How dare the Canadian government get American companies to pay their fair share for operating here [in Canada]

It's not a staircase to nowhere, it's a staircase to the highest point in Belgium 😡

Keating is based as hell to call him out like that. Also lol @ the quick “Thank you madame speaker” response From McBride

I’m glad I got to visit DC in October. My company had a meetup there and it was genuinely a cool city with lots of neat bars.

Like fuck I’m visiting it or the USA again any time again soon though
