I ended up on a massive Whatsapp group populated primarily by Indian women after I took a content writing class a few years ago. Made several very good friends. I've asked them about the whole Indian scammer thing. One of them said she knows a few, and they do it because they literally don't have other options for employment. Which makes sense. Rampant, unfettered capitalism forces people to make decisions that go against their conscience for the sake of survival. I feel bad for scammers sometimes, other times I feel less charitable when they're scamming my dad...

Whole situation just fucking sucks.

@stamets@startrek.website Told ya so!

Same for me, minus the weight. I hate weight on me when I'm sleeping. Makes me feel trapped and claustrophobic. I use the thinnest blanket the temperature will allow, and I always have fans (and if possible an AC) going. Anything above 63f/17c and I sweat like a pig. :(

Does the chillpad work? I've heard mixed reviews.

An aspiring writer, you want to be published and have dreams of being the next Stephen King or JK Rowling, but you can never find the time to hone your craft, because of your daunting responsibilities to Charcumwa, the Eldritch horror you have trapped in the basement of an abandoned apartment building 2 towns over. It must be fed daily or the pact will be broken, and it will be freed. The 4th generation to carry this burden, you sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be worth it to just let it go, knock out a few chapters of your book, and try to guess what stocks will crash when it is freed. You'll make a killing on the market with this kind of foreknowledge.

Typically, your shift is just an hour longer/shorter. Though, I've worked for companies that tried to scam me, and pay me for 8 hours on the night with 9 hours, under the guise that they would pay me 8 hours on the night with 7. Nope. I don't trust your ass, and I don't know that I'll still be working here in 6 months. I'll take my $8.75 for tonight, tyvm.

Tricksy little sheepseses

No, no, you did it right.

It's specifically a goose wearing a sombrero. Lol.

I may have squee'd a little...

"Well behaved fe-males rarely make profit"

Lmao

c/witchymeme would love this. Lol

Good God, we really will use anything but the metric system.

If you don't know it already, please listen to I Steal Pets by Rachel Bloom.

You mom sounds cool. :)

He's a Good Boy.

Does anyone know if this is something that was actually possible? Like, how sure are we they looked one way and not the other?

The fuck shade of spray tan are you getting?

Climate change, same sex marriage (though, perhaps not as shocking as some might expect, ditto anything trans related), potential mars colonization, coming off the heels of the Spanish flu, COVID news would probably freak em out. Ooh, the USSR being gone, and China being a world super power. The USSR would have been new to them, and it collapsing less than a century later would probably feel quite odd, especially if you could make them understand just how incredibly advanced the USSR got in such a short amount of time. Tons of stuff.

Idk if it works for Android, but I think gimp covers those bases. Also, do you have other comics you haven't posted here? I desire more!
