  • In middle school I played the (French) horn, and one time I lost my mouthpiece right before a concert. I spent the entire thing just pretending to play my mouthpieceless instrument.

  • Used to adore these companies. It was special when they logo came up when you boot up a game

    Jump

  • It's never been about what we want, not with EA, and not with any company ever. It's always been about what raises the most amount of profits.

    Usually making a profit means making a good product that people want to buy, but as we learn more about marketing and its influence on human behavior, companies can move more and more into a scenario where artificially inflated desire for the product through advertising impacts your decision to buy a product much more than its quality, making products cheaper to make and more profitable to sell.

    It used to be that if EA didn't make a good game for a fair price, they didn't make money. But then they realized that they didn't need to do that anymore, and stopped making games with the same level of quality. Then they realized that they can start charging for individual pieces of the game, and boy has that been a profitable decision for them.

  • Chat, what do you see?

  • When you accidentally grab a blank slide and panic for a little bit.

  • One Piece Anime Announces Historic Hiatus

    Jump

  • 3, but yeah. I'd have them on while I was working since the pacing is pretty easy to follow. Plus I'd read the manga back in the early 2000's, so I could remember the major plot points well enough without needing to devote my full attention.

  • One Piece Anime Announces Historic Hiatus

    Jump

  • This works out perfectly for me. I started watching the anime a few months ago, but I lost steam around halfway through, so this gives me some time to take a break before catching up!

  • Wrong House Fool

    Jump

  • I liked sneaking up on them and stabbing them before they even started getting up.

  • Why are Democrats tarred as elites when the world’s richest man funds Trump?

    Jump

  • Because the media is owned and operated by rich men who benefit from putting the blame on others and calling it "news."

  • Marcus Aurelius releases you rule

    Jump

  • You absolutely don't have to have a concrete, well-constructed opinion on everything, or even really anything, but if you plan to spread an opinion you have about something, you should make sure it's concrete and well-constructed first.

    Capital doesn't care about anything else except profit

    Jump

  • Every Republican I know thinks that every person has to support themselves and their ideals alone. You vote in your own interests, no one else's, you work toward your own goals, benefitting no one else, and even when you help someone, it's only who you've decided deserves it, no one else. I'm sure they think that 1/3 of life deserves to die if it can't survive in this world. (Pay no attention to how much I i rely on government support to live, though - I'm special)

  • I used to hate QR codes. But they're actually genius

    Jump

  • Maybe just this once, for old time's sake.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

    Jump

  • I sure hope so, but I don't see much changing. I guess we'll see by looking at where Reddit is at business-wise by next year. People were saying it was doomed last summer after the 3rd party app fiasco, and their daily traffic has only gone up since then. I've long since lost all faith in the masses making the best choices for themselves.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible

    Jump

  • They're better than the OLD alternative, which was total boycotting at best, and torches and pitchforks at worst. The NEW alternative is complaining about it for a week or two, then continuing on without making any changes at all. They don't mind the new alternative.

  • Cereal

    Jump

  • I make Special K bars for get-togethers every once in awhile, and I sometimes get people who ask me if they're healthy. I always tell them that nothing in them is even the slightest bit healthy except the Special K itself, and even that's debatable.

  • We're so fucked

    Jump

  • That's the way it's been for a while now. There's so many crises that we just run to the new one every few days, forgetting about the old one and never actually resolving any of them. Considering how complaisant the burnout makes us, I'd imagine it's not entirely happenstance that things are so hectic.

  • The point of whisleblower laws is to make people feel like a lack of whistleblowers means a lack of things to blow whistles over. Then all they have to do is silence any whistles before they're heard by the general population and boom, public trust in the system is strengthened without actually needing to do anything drastic like actually fixing the system.

  • OOC QC Extra Classy rule

    Jump

  • One of the few things I miss from Reddit were the extra small communities like the one for QC. I liked being able to chat with the 30 other people who read this comic daily.

  • Reggaeton star Nicky Jam deletes endorsement after Donald Trump misgendering

    Jump

  • Ah, I see.

  • Reggaeton star Nicky Jam deletes endorsement after Donald Trump misgendering

    Jump

  • I do too - it's a gender-neutral name. He just pictured a girl, and didn't even think that he might be wrong.

  • Reggaeton star Nicky Jam deletes endorsement after Donald Trump misgendering

    Jump

  • I guarantee you he asked someone who he was supposed to be introducing right before he went on stage, heard the name Nicky, pictured a woman, and introduced accordingly.
