Oh my god, this is dark.

“but that’s even more giraffes than the first one!” has me dying, haha.

Far Side is timeless

Omg, thanks! I noticed that it had hit a million recently, and I was thinking about writing up a post to commemorate it and maybe share some thoughts about my experience posting like a madman on the fediverse for 6-7 months so far. If I do, it’ll probably be on the c/fediverse community, unless anyone can think of a more fitting one.

Did you try communicating in clicks?

It’s a rescue. It has had a hard life.

If management hadn’t created that PR disaster, these people would probably still have jobs.

People keep their defenses up more when they have to do “facework”. If you’re not having to make eye contact, it’s easier to speak freely.

Even though it’s rare these days, it’s the reason behind that whole Freudian idea of therapy where the patient lies on the couch and isn’t looking at the clinician.

They talk about a few causes, but this is the gist of it for anyone who doesn’t want to click:

Researchers cited the pandemic as the biggest factor in the widening gender gap; it took a heavier toll on men. Unintentional injuries and poisonings (mostly drug overdoses), accidents and suicide were other contributors.
