  • I love black humor, but this is weak. A good black joke uses dark subjects to amplify effective humor, it’s not just funny because it’s crude. This is more akin to shock humor. The place it really falls short is the punchline imo.

    Frankly I think the amount I’ve suffered probably detracts from it if anything; I’ve been there for two different friends after they lost a sister to suicide, both had been aggressively sexualized during their depression.


  • What even is the joke here? She decided to kill herself at home to reduce the likelihood of someone raping her corpse?

    Or is it funny because the guy on the bridge saw her attempt at suicide as a sexual opportunity?

    It’s almost like an anti-joke, where the humor comes from how offensive it is. It’s sad to think there are people who live this sort of experience, being seen as a sex object more than a human being, even in the darkest hours of their life. That’s gotta fuck someone up.

    Xiaomi Pad 6 is a good price and is compatible with plenty of custom roms. Some people don’t trust them because it’s a Chinese brand, but I figure the odds are about the same that it’s got hardware level spying as a Google or Microsoft tablet. At least it’s easy to root or reformat.







  • You seem to be having trouble understanding this comic. Thanksgiving is being hosted by his relatives, who don’t want him there. Millions of Democrats host thanksgiving dinners every year. This would be one of those situations where he’s being told to fuck off over political differences (though it’s really more about he’s built his personality around those differences and desires to harm other family members with them)

    Being so obnoxious and harmful that your family doesn’t want to be around you is not a commitment to family ties, it’s a commitment to your own ego.





  • To each their own. Personally I can’t stand MS Office, I think Google Docs is easier for most nontechnical people these days anyway. For the rare cases when Office is needed, the web version works fine on Linux.

    LibreOffice works great, and WPS Office is proprietary but at least it’s free.

    Personally I write my documents in markdown and use pandoc to convert them into PDF or docx or whatever. It’s like writing the source code and then compiling, I like it.

    I’m sure you’ve looked into all that, but for anyone else who is interested in alternatives those are my recommendations.
