I self host for the same reason I'm not clicking some random link: distrust lol

I think some of these need clarification 😅

I think they mean someone else gets credit for it, you don't choose who

More than you contributed, taking rhetorical flourish as literal in bad faith 🤷

You're right, you don't understand, and you're embarrassing yourself

You're reply is disingenuous in the extreme, because nobody is this subtext illeteriate.

His complaint is that someone else is making lots of money.

He said he is making lots of money for someone else. He is making the money, therefore it is his money, not the money if the other person. It's like the "taxation is theft" people are unable to apply the same logic on the owners of the boots they lick.

I didn't say he should be grateful

You absolutely said he should be grateful for his job, you just didn't use those words. You mocked him for complaining about his job. Those two things are a distinction without meaning difference.
\ This messaging is all over the media. If you're trying to say it isn't then you're either lying or you're tragically media illeteriate.

You think that's the problem here

You're the one complaining about his mental health.
\ But no you're right, it's people like me online in 2025 who affected the mental health of the author of the [checks notes] 1975 book, causing him to use [gasp in horror] a literary flourish. Great job there, detective, you cracked the case!
\ Thank god you didn't embarrass yourself at all!

They showed us a video like

Acid makes you see sounds and taste colors, and isn't addictive... But don't do it!

Before the video I absolutely had no desire to try acid, and after the video all I could think was like "what does a color taste like?!?!"

3/10 rage bait

Good selection for the target audience, but too incoherent to actually be effective

Y'all are missing the forrest for the trees

God forbid someone add a bit of literary sugar to their argument, else they be picked apart by pedants.

Your company is successful, is that a problem? You're getting paid too, right?

Not getting paid commensurate to your contribution to the success of the company

Who's asking/telling you how to feel about it?

The news, society at large, people like you online posting replies like this very one

Dude needs therapy

Too bad it's unaffordable. Maybe you need to look at the state of society

But you're mistaken. It isn't big plumbing companies selling more shitting - it's taco bell

I knew about diamonds and I believe about milk.

But you can pry indoor plumbing and hot water heaters from my cold dead hands. Sometimes the marketing works because it's a good idea lol

Bathrooms are a scam invented by Big Shit to sell more pooping

Selling is a scam invented by Big Sales so they can sell more sales

I appreciate them for making walking easier

I think you need to read the comic again.
\ It's calling the USA (white) uncivilized, and everywhere else (mostly not white) civilized.

Only if your week is 5 days long, which causes causes problems with our current work culture.

Also leap day is truly a fuck.

Like I said, we need smaller subdivisions than 73 for practical purposes.

just having 5 season per year and nothing else simply isn't practical. Imagine having to wait 70 days to the weekend 💀. We need to have a week analog, and no matter what it's not going to fit cleanly in the seasons.

Actually, splitting the season into 10 day weeks with a 3 day weekend, and then ending each season with a 3 day holiday could work, not opposed to that lol

But I don't like 73, it's not power of 10 or 12 so it doesn't fit a decimal it duodecimal metric calendar. The universe sucks for not confirming to the way we order to count.
\ I want to have like... A day, a decaday (week), hectoday (season), kiloday (year), megaday (millenium).
\ And in the other direction, a day, a deciday (hour), centiday (minute), milliday(second) etc.
\ So my plan is to change the orbit and rotation of earth to force reality to match our preferences

Ok, but now subdivide the 73 day month-analogs into week-analogs.

I can see calling the month analogs "seasons", but 73 is a prime number so you're boned. We need subdivisions smaller than that for practical purposes

I wouldn't call having an unassigned remainder "perfectly". And always, leap day fucking shit up lol

It's a problem no matter how you divide the year

That's why I propose changing the orbit of the earth, too
