this is one of my favorite far sides. I don’t know if there’s a joke to get, but I don’t get it

but I still love it

woah, what, i can’t believe it

what a lovely kitty 🥰

If you’re interested in this sort of thing and like action/adventure rpgs, give Crosscode a shot. it’s excellent

IMO the original comic shouldn’t be altered. I like the caption being in the title of the post though, but I also like it having the publication date. I guess my ideal would be unaltered image, plus a post title of “<Frame Caption> | <Publication Date>”, but that might be too much for you to bother with

those are all different continuities, so this would be the 4th adaptation. The art, especially the character design, is just like in the manga so it seems like it’s going to be a more direct adaptation of the source material

The famous one is season one of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. In 2021 there was Peach Boy Riverside

real boomer humor, this one

I hate when headlines (well, people in general) use codenames for hardware. I’m apparently supposed to know off the top of my head that Arrow Lake is the newest Intel Core Ultra series cpus released a couple of months ago.

• proper coziness requires a gradient
• mild, room temperature weather is boring, no stimulation
• hot temps are awful, I hate sweating

I’ll take crisp or cold temps, rain or snow, over boring or hot weather any day. if there was somewhere that had a solid rain 24/7/365 and it was within my means I’d move there in a heartbeat. If was a heartless billionaire I’d have homes in places with rainy/cold weather all around the world so I could chase the enjoyable weather all year.

they’re just experiencing eepiness

The phrase “ok slimers” legitimately made me laugh out loud

He has US citizenship, at least according to wikipedia. Much as I hate him the government can’t just revoke that afaik

I think this is my favorite Far Side panel

What I love every time I see this comic is that Alex knew he would be persecuted for his art, and has accepted it.

give the supreme court more time to backslide

the whole “Deckard’s a replicant thing” is lame because it ruins his character arc if he is. IMO the whole film is a comparison of the human Deckard who coldly murders replicants without mercy (like a machine) vs the replicant Roy who kills with passion, and eventually grants mercy to his enemy. The replicant is “more human than human”, and the human is more machine-like than the machine. Deckard’s story is going from a robot-man to someone who actually feels alive and concern for someone other than himself at the end.

Reminds me of this genuine photo of bison skulls from the late 1800s

The US government encouraged mass hunting of bison to force Native Americans to give up their way of life that depended on them and move to reservations where they would be “allowed” to live. Unless something valuable was discovered on that land later.

When colonists first started arriving there were upwards of 60 million bison in North America, traveling in vast herds that provided much of what various nomadic tribes needed to live on. At the lowest point in the late 1800s there were around 541 known animals in existence. Now there are around 500,000 in NA, the vast majority of which live on ranches and are farmed for meat. There are around 20,000 living on conservation lands.

It’s great when dystopic defense contractors take names from the things I love! Palmer Luckey started one called Anduril, and I just can’t tell you how much I love these fucking shits co-opting Tolkien’s words in their endeavors to profit on oppression and murder.
