Comics and art



I’d say the other part of it is around age 30 is when sustained unhealthy lifestyle choices can start biting. It’s not when they kill you, but it’s when life starts to give you those warning signs that you should probably do something about that before it gets worse


Reminds a bit of Scott Pilgrim maybe? Been some years since I read the comic so I may be misremembering though.



It loads for me if I open in a new tab, but not through my instance’s link preview.




Much better. Making him less barrel chested makes him feel stronger instead of cartoonishly jacked.



Meanwhile, you ask a near trillionaire to pay even 10% taxes and they act like you’re actively breaking their legs and throwing them onto the street to starve.


Okay, extremely relatable lol. I was at a job that, while I absolutely loved the people I worked with, we were all so overworked while being severely undervalued and underpaid. It was depressing as hell, constantly stressful, and just an overall bad time. I had my first gray at 26. Pair with that Trump’s original presidency and things going to shit and yeah…


That’s cool! Not a question, just pointing out something I liked :D


Or maybe microsoft should focus less on gamifying coding and turning it into an activity done for social credits, and make github more of a platform for… idk, version control and programming?


Thanks, I’m flattered! To be honest, I used two pastel brushes. One could blend, and for the other one, I boosted the texture size on a new layer… I’m still trying to track down my brushes (and keep losing them 😆)

By the way, was that a question? 😅


I have somehow never seen this PBF. Amazing


For a fleeting moment there, I thought it was The Farside. Like it has the same level of absurdness and humour.


It’s getting better. Has mostly to do with my job in combination with the rise of the Nazis. I may have something new and better on the horizon but even if not, I’ve managed to not give as much of a fuck and I say no way more often nowadays.


Textures like this are so moody and tactile, it’s hard not to love them. They can work really well when there’s a sense of 3D construction to lend some weight to things.

I’m also really interested in how you used those gritty splatter effects for shading!


I’m glad you like it! The inspiration comes from simple meme scenes and those minimalist, expressive anime scenes


They get creepy looking because they melt and refreeze and if I were melted and refroze I’d also be more hideous than I am now!


if the thing giving the choice was considered trustworthy by lenders it might be possible to trade the 10T ev for 5T guaranteed.


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.



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!



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?



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.


We’ve all been there

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.





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.


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 you’d know every artists fucking life-story.

As if not being a religious bigot, sexist, abuser, fascist, apartheid apologist, corporate bootlicker, or war criminal is such a high bar.

Assume so.

Fixed.



Thank you!

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!



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

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.

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


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.


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?



This might be my single favorite PBF comic



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



Guys I’m starting to think there’s a better way of doing this



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..


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.


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.



you dont need github to code


Git cloning over SSH to some laptop you found in the garbage lacks them.


If these kids could read, they would be very upset


by OP depth: 4

In that case, can I interest you in a little crystal meth?


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 github TOS already have an age limit for accounts:

A User must be at least 13 years of age.


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.


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?


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.
