Thank you! Well, to be honest, I draw in a specific style… I try to make textured images, if you could put it that way. Although emotions are important to me 😆
I still have some contacts in Amnesty from when I went through sone interview rounds for a position I didn’t end up taking. They all seemed pretty friendly and direct, and like they’d be strongly opposed to this. Kinda tempted to mail them to see whether they have anything to say.
Find a socially based hobby! I’ve been going to a weekly language exchange for a couple of years and it’s just as much language practice as it is social hangout.
While I was still doing well at 50, the ten years since have been a steady decline. But, you can slow the rate by exercising and cleaning up your diet, if you still eat like you’re 30.
I hate holding on to heavy luggage, on road trips I would pack everything in my school bag and I never brought more than that
Then when I went on flights to different cities I would do the same thing, this time bringing a plastic bag so I can unpack my school bag and still bring it on walks
I can also pack everything in less than 20 mins
It’s the perfect strategy for a chill trip
I also realized I spend less than $20 a day, so I’ve went on road trips with just $100 in my bank account (I was a teen ok)
I really relate to this comic. I didn’t like being a child that much, and I feel alienated a lot on the internet by people constantly wishing they could go back to having no responsibilities. I really, really like being able to control my own destiny and decide what I wanna do, even though it comes with increased pressures and responsibilities.
You’re going to get there faster than you think! Don’t rush your coming outs if you don’t feel ready yet, but also don’t wait for the perfect moment (it doesn’t exist). Stay safe and also give yourself enough time to process things in between!
That’s so good to hear! I’m so happy for you, and I can’t wait to be where you are
I feel like I’m one of the harder times right now. I’m ~4 months on HRT, and I’m out to almost all of my friends, who are awesome and have been really supportive, but not at work or with my family. I really want to be done with coming out to people and just be myself all the time! But my family are all Catholics, so I’m really nervous to tell them.
I like to think I did my 20s right, if that means anything. Partied often, built my career, worked on my established, longstanding friendships. I lived a bit wildly, but I also think that I gradually wound those things down. I have been in my career since I was 20, but in my mid-20s, my friends would show up to my jobs at night, I’d change out of my suit in the bathroom, and we’d all take a train into Manhattan, on a Tuesday or Wednesday. It’s something I couldn’t even consider. Our nights started at 1030, 11. Now, that’s essentially when they end for me.
I’m now in as late as your 30s get, have kids, and that lifestyle is a very distant past, which I’m happy about. I have friends who still like to live it, and that’s cool. I’ll hang out with them, but I also have no problem tapping out early, and they also don’t care that I do. We’re all past the point of “uno mas,” which is funny because it’s been the name of our group chat for the past 15 years, and it’s okay. I had fun, it’s no longer what I want to do for fun, and that’s cool with me and everyone.
It’s nice to all grow to a point where peer pressure has seemed to finally met it’s demise, although I do always say peer pressure is a great motivator of youth, and I wouldn’t change my youth for a second, because my present is great.
So, you, a very smart person, would only admire art, for which you exactly, and personally, know the artists intentions, moral compass and general ethics?
That does not only sound pretentious but also hypocritical and deeply impractical.
As if you’d know every artists fucking life-story. And, by your logic, you mustn’t consume otherwise. Missing knowledge doesn’t protect.
And yes, I only consume. What else do you do with a e.g. painting? Rub one out in front of it? Pray to the art-god? Write letters of admiration to the artist, scented with your perfume?
I just hang it on the wall and admire it for what it is. Art.
Also…a bit simplistic to just assume a “terrible person” draws exclusively from terrible sources to create art. As if people are black or white. And also, who on this earth is not a terrible person in the end? How clean and “good” are you hm? Do you spend every minute to help those less fortunate than you? Do you not profit from childlabour and slavery when purchasing goods that aren’t made by your neighbor while you were watching?
Thought so.
Amnesty international has been shit for a while, they have some Ws but they always help manufacture consent for war and then say “oopsie, didn’t know it wasn’t true that comically evil fabrication wasn’t true”
The problem here is that the kids are equating “coding” to “github”.
Which is a fault of most educational programs being ran by corporations (and everyone else following the corporate) which is a fault of capitalism
Oh, we get you 5 dolla dolla grant. But you must sign up for GitHub, Slack, EasyEDA, Figma, OnShape. And then verify your ID, preferably with persona. Also, we store everything on Airtable.
Example (shameless self plug) ("code club” no different) (some org founded yesterday in a garage to be gone in 2 years would be not too different)
The disagreement about a comparison to Nazis isn’t about what the Nazis did, or that doing what they did would justify comparison, it’s that I fundamentally disagree that taking down an allegedly libelous document is the same as mass murder.
I’m familiar with the horrors of the Nazis, you don’t need to rehash.
I’m not sure how a German court case about denying Nazi crimes has bearing on a theoretical UK court case about if an organization has a specific policy position.
You earlier mentioned that the case could be a PR and fundraising opportunity.
Have you considered if you would want them to fight it if they thought it would do the opposite? What if they just spent a bunch of money giving the assholes a platform to spew hate?
It’s great when all of the fun/exciting friends you had die or get locked up, and every potential love interest you come across is married/loaded down with kids/fucked up from a past relationship/is only interested in a complicated open relationship.
My 30s might have been more awesome if I hadn’t reset my life/career every 4-5 years. I’d have been super bored and miserable in a different way if I’d stayed the course, but I’d have more money to waste on synthesizers in my big empty house, I guess.
ITT: a bunch of “miserable” people who are way too comfortable and happy with their lives to fight back against what they claim is making them so (performatively) “miserable”
Why are you getting down voted? Muscle pains are usually due to weak muscles. Obviously there’s other things it could be, but YouTube and planet fitness are cheaper than the doctors.
Join a club! Having a group of people you see every week that are happy you’re there is what got me out of my worst depression. I’m in a run club and organize a mountain bike club, but if that’s not your speed there’s lots of others. An improv club/class will probably give you incredible social skills. But there’s roleplay clubs, book clubs, bowling/league night, kickball, knitting, and probably a bunch I can’t think of.
seconding what the other person said. just go hang out in public places, preferably ones where you can do something and have a natural reason to approach people.
it isn’t going to happen immediately. but eventually you will strike up conversations with people, and some of those will be good conversations, and some of those will be with people you like, and some of those will be with people who like you. and then you gotta actually get their contact info or plan to meet up again, maybe doing other things.
My egg cracked in my late 20s. I’m 31 now and ~2 years on HRT. Its been only a few months since my last coming out and since I stopped boymoding entirely. I have changed at least as much as a person in these last few months as in the years between my egg crack and then.
Its amazing how you can actually just do stuff and have fun and meet new people and be happy when you’re not depressed anymore and feel good about yourself and learn to have confidence and realize that you actually do have free will and can just do stuff if you want to.
It really does get better and fighting through the hard times is so absolutely worth it!
Back when she was something, Rowling’s attention to human rights inspired me to do better, and even to try and start a career working with human rights NGOs.
It’s insane to me how she’s come right around and is now attacking what she once stood for, and using the might of her wealth to do it (something she also used to despise).
A buddy of mine and me played this game while drunk, where we’d randomly choose a page from the book and then a random passage from said page. Pretty much every single time it was the most insane bullshit aver put on paper. It was hilarious.
Well, that really varies from person to person, doesn’t it?
My 30s were worse than my 20s.
Having to work full-time sucks.
It might be different for people who love their job or for those who are rich enough not to worry about work at all, but for me, the time when I had to work full-time was more or less the end of the ‘good times’.

Thank you! Well, to be honest, I draw in a specific style… I try to make textured images, if you could put it that way. Although emotions are important to me 😆
Yes, or a video game maybe? I can’t say for sure either but it does look familiar - in a good way. I like it too!
I still have some contacts in Amnesty from when I went through sone interview rounds for a position I didn’t end up taking. They all seemed pretty friendly and direct, and like they’d be strongly opposed to this. Kinda tempted to mail them to see whether they have anything to say.
Lucky
Love the style, it reminds me of a cartoon I’ve seen but I can’t think which one. It’s the damnedest thing… Hope to see more!
Yup.
Hello 😆, this is making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside 🥰
This makes absolutely no sense.
It’s there, and welcome to our little nook of the internet!
Wait, I don’t see the drawing - is it there or not?
So cool! Maybe Sharkey? And Bookwyrm.
I can only find articles with titles like “Is GitHub going to get banned in Australia?”
Do you know where I can find it?
Use any of a half dozen oþer public VCS hosters which don’t have creepy social media addiction hooks? Sourcehut, Gitlab, one of þe? Forges?
I did that around 27 or so. I wonder if that means I’m good from here on out, or is that 40s one just waiting to reaaaaally fuck my shit up. 🤔
Hope you’re doing better though. From experience, absolutely not a fun thing to go through :(
Find a socially based hobby! I’ve been going to a weekly language exchange for a couple of years and it’s just as much language practice as it is social hangout.
Aliens hugging in the background, someone else’s knickers in your pocket.
Nope. Pretty sure I’ve never been there.
I literally found my purpose in my 30s. Nothing was meaningful nor worthwhile in my 20s
60 here. Can confirm.
While I was still doing well at 50, the ten years since have been a steady decline. But, you can slow the rate by exercising and cleaning up your diet, if you still eat like you’re 30.
Thanks :3

I’ve met people like her. Her dream is to be destroyed by a mecha.
I AM THE TRUTH FROM WHICH YOU RUN
As if not being a religious bigot, sexist, abuser, fascist, apartheid apologist, corporate bootlicker, or war criminal is such a high bar.
Fixed.
Green knows he was next.
Thank you!

Accept lamer people like work colleagues and such.
In a way you step out of the Truman show but it’s not necessarily greater than before.
Im a little confused by that.
Can’t believe Questionable Content is still going strong after all this time. Goddamn, Marten hasn’t aged a day.
Absolutely. Our trans-cestors fought for us to have a good life, so I’ll fight for us and everyone who comes after us too
That’s so good to hear! I’m so happy for you, and I can’t wait to be where you are

Hmm, I’m starting to see why you might have not had an exciting life

Guilty dogs have to be some of the cutest things on the planet.
Pretty much anytime Jenny rejects Sheldon.
There’s still pleanty of fun and meaningful things I can do in my 30s
Why does the GUNTRON! hero team always have open interviews posted?
Miss Bitters, is that you?
This might be my single favorite PBF comic
I AM THE BULLET IN YOUR GUN
The look on Blue’s face is great, he knows….
so does that mean the need like a hidden chosen one for an extra bullet
I’m very scared about that.
Guys I’m starting to think there’s a better way of doing this
Fellow slow thinker?
Ahhh delusion is a wonderful thing! It’s how we end up with 50+ people racing motorcycles into medians…
If the sword isn’t part of any of the lions, I don’t see why the bullet would have to be one of the robot-animal-vehicles.
need money for place to sleep. although considering getting an rv
😥
my friend did this too. i used to do door to door canvassing, it’s def hard on the body
This took me a minute, but I laughed when I got it.
Well I’ve had mental problems my whole life so hopefully I’ll manage better, it’s coming up soon..

Yeah but you’re a sane person, not a billionaire.
Sounds like it’d lead to a lot of social interaction in the future; I’ll pass
Amnesty international has been shit for a while, they have some Ws but they always help manufacture consent for war and then say “oopsie, didn’t know it wasn’t true that comically evil fabrication wasn’t true”
Meh, I don’t blame you, nobody knows what they will think of next.
Nipples
you dont need github to code
Git cloning over SSH to some laptop you found in the garbage lacks them.
In that case, can I interest you in a little crystal meth?
The problem here is that the kids are equating “coding” to “github”.

AmNAZI International
The github TOS already have an age limit for accounts:
You need any GitHub repo I as a not even registered non user could download for you in my non VPN browser?
He’s just glad that one shot did the job.
Green guy does not look thrilled to be next.
Yeah I was gonna say you don’t need github to learn to code, and it’s probably for the best if you don’t use it.

Isn’t this just an episode of My Life as a Teenage Robot?
I just tried it in an incognito tab… still works
Just went down the rabbit hole of deformed sponge bob ice cream Internet images. Totally worth it.
It’s great when all of the fun/exciting friends you had die or get locked up, and every potential love interest you come across is married/loaded down with kids/fucked up from a past relationship/is only interested in a complicated open relationship.
I’m not projecting.
I think I was around 26 when I started working.
beautiful
I think it’s beautiful and playful. Reminds me of a contrabas, even though it isn’t.
Thank you for sharing!!

codeberg and gitlab don’t lack the same social features.
are you implying they weren’t already using source control.1.1.final.reallyfinalthistime.2b.beta.9?
Surely the government wouldn’t ban programming
I’ve let go of them but the issue is finding new people to replace them.
Wait! You didn’t have to work full time in your 20’s? I’ve been working full time since I was 21
ITT: a bunch of “miserable” people who are way too comfortable and happy with their lives to fight back against what they claim is making them so (performatively) “miserable”
I’ve made only boring poor life choices

Github is already illegal for kids in Australia.
