I don’t have calf cramps, but sometimes I’ll be flexing my toes and I’ll feel one start to fire up a cramp, and it’s a fast-paced high-stakes game of Operation, where I keep moving my toe around trying to find the magic relaxation spot, while it sends off more and more alarming pre-cramp warning buzzes. (That may not be a perfect metaphor but I got tired of thinking of board games. I also considered Battleship.)

Remember, if they bite you, you only have a minute to kill yourself.

There was/is a recent lawsuit against Google for paying other browsers to make google the default search engine, and I think it was ruled against Google. And that payment is like 81% of Mozilla’s income. So if they have to stop those payments, Mozilla’s is gonna have to find some other ways to make money or cut back massively on their budget. So while I don’t like ads, if Mozilla has to do this to stay around, I’ll support them. If I got any facts wrong here, someone please correct me.

Oh, sorry about that. My wife and I use that follow up when we compliment each other, but it’s probably not well known enough to just use randomly on the Internet.

But it’s a reference to a flight of the concords song https://youtu.be/YwFPJ2AWrEU?si=1kAt6OcO_1Sy_Nbp

You’re really good at critiquing social media posts. I got another here. You’re good at finding shortcuts around this part of town.

If we identify something as a UFO, is it still a UFO?

A meta comic about loss. Daring today, aren’t we?

I think I just don’t think about it until it’s happening, and then it’s too late.

She doesn’t LOOK bored…

Edit: she look crazy

But they won’t even disclose that ACORN stands for Asynchronous Connector for Optical Relay Network!? Sounds like they were bought out by Big Oak…

If it’s boring and generic, how is it also nonsense? That seems contradictory to me, but maybe I don’t understand.

I feel like there might be an emerging market for a car company that makes new, safe cars with very low tech computer systems.

Ah who am I kidding, I wish there was a market for all kinds of functional-but-not-enshittified products out there, but the complete lack of them shows the entrenched powers that be will stomp out any attempt to upset the terrible status quo.

Hahaaaaa yeeeeaaahhhh…

…but you really said it?

I like the idea behind the comic, but I had the same initial thought as the previous commenter. I think maybe the comic shouldn’t have used a very well known phrase that has a different legal definition.

Using a potato to take a picture of a burger. Nice.

Wowzers, 25g? I’d just be happy to be alive if I took one thousand of the 25 mg tablets.

Heck yes, I binged this game over a weekend where I didn’t see many other people and it put me in a weird headspace that was perfect for this game. I really enjoyed it, very unlike anything else I’ve played. If you’re just playing it to beat it, you might not enjoy it, is my guess. But if you’re in the mood to dig in a bit more it’s a lot of fun to learn about the characters through the different websites and messages.

I’ve recommended this game to friends and coworkers and I don’t think any of them have gone for it. Ah well. This game will always hold a special little place in my heart.

EDIT: If you weren’t alive back in the days of AOL and angelfire/geocities/Myspace websites, you might not enjoy this game as much. I think you might still enjoy it, but the nostalgia feeling for that bygone age was a big part of the appeal for me.

I’ll give you $10,000 to swap brains with you so I can play it for the first time again 😄

I was going to say “ahh, too bad the Internet isn’t really helpful for that method of learning”, but with AI who knows, maybe that’ll be something your computer can do before too long
