Hi there!
Boomers are all bigoted, sexist, climate change denying pieces of shit?
… kinda a shitty take there mate. Lots of them are terrible, but so aye lots of people from other generations too, and tarring them all with the same brush is only going to alienate the good ones and make them quite reasonably dislike you.
I’m always annoyed when people say “You should just get therapy”, because of how completely inaccessible it is to those of us not wealthy enough to be in the upper middle class, which is most of us these days.
They’re basically saying “Your problems are fixable but only if you’ve got thousands of pounds to throw away on a therapist, if you’re a normal working class person you’re fecked”.
You might as well be saying “Homeless? Just buy a house duuh”.
I know you yourself mean well (and you do use the “practical” caveat which is appreciated), I don’t mean to sound overly harsh, it’s just this comes up a lot and as someone suffering greatly from mental illness destroying my life that I can’t afford to get treatment for it’s very depressing :-(
Is IPFS something your family and friends check on regularly? I don’t even know what it is.
Considering your reluctance to give any information about your assertion that such a project using it becomes useless, I’m not sure you know what it is either :P
I can’t wait to see Commander Shepard, she’s gonna be bloody great!
I wonder which origin they’ll go with…
What’s he holding in his hand? What’s he doing? I’m so confused xD
I say mould because I’m English and that’s just how it’s spelled here (we also pronounce it with a U, pronouncing it without the U as mold would be…strange).
Not an overly exciting response I know, but there you go :P
Love Bill, when I saw him live last here in Manchester he was trying some new material, hung a joke on the punchline using the word juxtaposition, and nobody laughed because they didn’t know what it meant xD
God, I felt embarrassed to realise the bar for education here is that low…
Fuckin A, he’s absolutely fantastic, can’t wait to see what he gets up to on SNW, which is a wonderful show that doesn’t take itself too seriously :-D
That guy is such a fecker, intentionally going around being a tosser wherever he goes and trying to give us all a basld name. God, I can’t stand that pillock :-(
You sound like a hoopy frood that knows where his towel is
Ahh, old hanging balls, gotchya xD
Yeah the medium of text can be tricky to convey meaning sometimes, I’m a pretty sarcastic person (gotta love using humour to cope with every situation, so healthy…) with a very deadpan kinda delivery on a lot of it, so I often find myself wondering if my intent came across well over text. Tricky indeed.
Anyway you’re cool, and thanks for taking the time to reply so thoughtfully :-)
Now, I’m going to go back to being drenched in a cold sweat! It seems that’s today’s COVID symptom roulette wheel choice! 💦☉_☉💦
Your username vintage balls reminded me of those little rubber balls we used to get at kids, I don’t see them any more (maybe they’re seen as too much of a choking hazard now?), so they feel kinda “vintage” to me now haha.
Those things could really bounce! I liked the semi translucent ones with the rainbow swirl patterns.
To be fair it’s been less than a day, one of the great things about internet messaging is how asynchronous it can be, it’s great for calming anxieties about needing to come up with a reply immediately like if you’re on the phone or something x.x
You’re right though, I don’t reply to things often enough, partly because I’m very sick with COVID at the moment but also a lot of it is my social anxiety and fear of rejection.
I get so scared of what people might say that I avoid looking at the replies, even when I initially reach out because I want to interact with people and form connections ><
It’s one of my big problems that I need to overcome, I’m still working out how to tackle it, but I do know it’s a problem, and it’s mine to solve.
Alas I can’t afford things like therapy, so I just have to stumble around trying to figure my ADHD, possibly autistic (wish I could get seen for a diagnosis…), anxious, dumb ass brain out 😅
I’m sorry in the mean time for being a bit annoying, I don’t mean to be on purpose :-)
So you’re saying I should never buy anything from Nintendo?
Cool cool cool, cool, cool.
Are you like, those old multi colour swirly rubber balls we used to get out of 20p machines as kids? Those were ill!
I thought that was the shit Chrome was doing to block adblockers and antimalware plugins, if Firefox is doing the same thing what browser do we use now? :-(
I don’t care about all the browser wars stuff, I lost interest when it was Netscape Vs IE, I just want a browser that I can configure fully myself and have it be as safe and secure as one can make it, within reason.
Yes yes, studies show this, studies show that. And they all contradict each other, especially if you just wait a few years for things to come full circle.
It’s gotten to a point where I just don’t believe them any more.
Maybe coffee does in some circumstances with some people have a link to preventing diseases. Or maybe not.
We’ve seen, and will continue to see, well researched scientific studies that argue both sides of this, until the end of history.
Believe whatever makes you feel better, that’s all you can do, really.
I like you.
Let’s go somewhere, fall, and forget to hit the ground together.
Can I buy these as a coffee table book?
Not all the comics this artist has ever made, but just these word ones specifically, a neat little pocket anthology kinda thing.
Pleeaasseee
Given the batshit crazy other people that seem to be put into the other positions… I assume this guy doesn’t believe in money and thinks they should instead switch to a system where basic necessities and housing are provided by your employer, and everything else must be earned through hard work and a points system at your company and government run stores… right?
Or is it even crazier than that 😅
