This is the double standard I hate so much about violence / porn / swearing.

Kids are watching ultra violent game streams? No one gives a shit.

The second a bad word has been said on a stream or a bit of nudity is shown, people are losing their god damn minds.

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.

Nice! Also have a 1:28 that my wife got for me. Thing is super fast, like 25km/h. What model did you get?

I am super impatiently awaiting a new set of wheels for my RC car to be delivered. I purchased them a while ago and it is taking ages! I want to finally finish my build and let it rip on the street!

Banks: Hold my beer!

And later blame it on the workers that unionized.

Good point :)

Oh no no. They won't only hurt themselves. Sadly, US politics tend to have an impact on a large part of the globe. If Trump gets re-elected, it's not only the US that will get fucked.

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.

Here, have an upvote.

You have to be harsh, otherwise nobody gets to play. When we started our new group we made sure to inform everyone that playing DnD is not to be treated as a secondary hobby that can just be canceled for other stuff all the time. Make it your priority, plan other things around the sessions if you want to play with that group. Of course, any emergencies excluded but otherwise treat it as if it is your sport club training. If you miss too many sessions, you're out.

I know this sounds super arrogant and mean, but it's the only thing that works consistently. Also filters out friends who are not ready or able to commit that much time for playing.

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.

Yes, but the guys who made the profit will be hailed as successful business people while the people advising for a responsible approach will be condemned as fucking blockers of innovation and success of the business. The idiots at the top who spew out their shit are glamourized while the people cleaning up at the bottom are the joke of society.
