The following artists are banned from the community.
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
Imagine the matrix came out today. A movie where people have become nothing more than disposable interchangeable sources of energy for a society run by machines. With an endless supply of media/simulated reality used to placate the human livestock and keep them from rising up. Oh and the pinnacle of human history is the 1990s. That all checks out way too much, there's no way this movie would be allowed to be made today.
Is there any credit to artist?
im the artist. this is my first comic.
FYI it's forefathers. Those who came before.
Also:
buy
people
millionaires
And then I remember that sometimes typos are intentional engagement bait.
Based. It's a little hard to read the text tho
props! π₯³π

Oh awesome! Glad you're here.
For future reference, if you put [OC] in the post title that's a good way to indicate that you're posting Original Content.
Thank you!
I love this comic because in the "make it or make it perfect" debate, I'd rather 100 flawed comics asking people to think then 1 perfect comic that does the same. Hell yeah to typos and imperfect art!
The real problem is avocado toast.
AI in most movies: Evil killing robot.
AI in reality: Evil robot that convinces others to kill, also makes bad "art" en masse that it hurts artists' visibility, also makes subpar code en masse that it hurts open source projects' visibility, not to mention it melts your brain.
(When will the first slasher movie come out, that features a troubled person getting addicted to a chatbot, which turns them into a serial killer?)
If I draft a screenplay about it and credit you will you come to my premier of "CHATBOT KILLER: ALGORITHM OF EVIL"
Any of you seeing the text too small and distorted?
You don't actually want to see that spelling. Small and distorted is much better.
2 out of the 3 movies pictured involve job loss: one spree kicked off by losing the job, and one story about the tension of the "will they or won't they fire me" and the arbitrariness and unfairness of it all.
So no, only one of these involves unrest amidst a stable career. The others are about unstable careers.
The top panel is 'Office Space', what about the other panels?
To be fair, I'm sure it still sucked. I'm sure it was just as unfulfilling then as it is now, it just sucks WAY more now.
And the fun thing is we (GenX) are still working! So weβve just got to experience the fucking slow slide to oblivion where every day is just worse than the last! Yay!
At work, when people ask how it's going, I always say, "Every day is better than the next." Been doing it for years now. So far only one person has clocked that if each day is better than the day that comes after, that means every day is a new low.
yeah i forget did camus have much to say about prometheus?
I think he did
I can't even imagine. It felt hard growing up in the time that I did, but I look at what my kids are facing and I can't even imagine how it must feel.
Pretty fucking bleak. I feel for them too.
The guy in falling down got laid off. He went crazy because he didn't have a job anymore.
Sure, but we were stuck at entry level jobs and told that the boomers were going to retire any day now and if we just stick with it, we'll shoot right to the top. Then as they started to retire, those jobs are not being filled and there is a fresh round of layoffs coming. Oh, and also being told by those same boomers that they owned a house by our age.
I think men would misunderstand the message of fight club even more now and it would become a white supremacist hit.
Ah yes. Our for fathers
Don't you want to be an millionair?
To by shit I don't need?
I don't think you could. Fight Club is about a few different things but it rests on a societal shape that doesn't really exist anymore. No one looks at modern society as stable on any level unless they are older and living the memory of the society of their childhood. The inability to afford the stuff from the pottery barn catalog means many people can't afford identifying with their stuff. The young people born this century have so little they can rely on epistemically they can end up latching onto really weird things. 'I want to join the military because it seems like it pays okay, I can meet the requirements if I live at the gym, it'll make my dad like me despite his toxic masculinity, but I don't like the idea of murdering people, so I'm going to become a medical spec ops guy so I only have to kill defensively and will be dedicating my life to saving lives.' - paraphrased from a real conversation
If I used dating apps, I would mention I like fight club, starship troopers, and V for vendetta in bio. Just keep people guessing.
I see people living in tents who get up and go to work every morning. A person who works full time should be able to afford a home on their own, they shouldn't have to share a rent to afford housing. I don't scorn people who choose a rent rather than have a roommate at 40 years old. This is our reality.
It's incredible we haven't hanged them by their entails. On the contrary, we just elected another do-nothing government because they fed the identity politics of right-wing colonialist nationalists who think they're leftist freedom fighters.
