Gonna get crucified for this, but:

While the comic is cute, the message is bourgeois slave mentality propaganda.

If the capacity to enjoy less is so aspirational as scorates, ghandi et al. would have us believe, then why don't the rich ascend to this purer existence in a trailer park? Why is it always the poors? It's because they have class consciousness and we don't.

These people have an objectively shit life and shouldn't have to live like this.

Don't get me wrong - If they want to - that's fine, but you can't really say you truly love something you didn't go out of your way to choose - and it doesn't seem that way here, and either way - this is a comic glorifying poverty, when there are many who don't want to live like this but have to, and it's kinda gross, tbh.

Also, weed is 21st century opium. Yes it should be legal, but you shouldn't do it if you want to have a life, it's no different from excessive social media use, it is an artificial relief for an ancient instinct of boredom that you have for a reason - it is your brain telling you to get off your ass and do something. Using chemicals to quell it - is just brainrot coated in an appeal to nature fallacy and new age aestheticism to make it more palatable.

Honestly bros I don't wanna be fired because job searching is hell but there's a part of me that will breathe a sigh of relief when I eventually am. Quirky star wars shit here I come.

Sorry for the formatting, I have to add extra newlines and backslashes to make it half-decent. this site sucks sometimes

Mantric Rechargeable Remote Control Knicker Vibrator I got on sale for 50% off. I'm not super into the whole public thing, but I've been using it way more than my magic wand, that fucking tip is shaped perfectly. Plus it would make an excellent phaser prop.

If you had to ruin an entire app/website by integrating automatic logout, which app would you choose to achieve maximum damage?

Every morning at work it's:

>Type in a password to Decrypt laptop drive

>Type in a password to Sign in to laptop account

>Type in a password to Sign into 1password

>Copy password for okta from 1pw

>Use fingerprint to Unlock my phone

>Type in 2FA code from my phone Google authenticator into okta

>Finally log into outlook

>Need to log into a system not behind SSO

>Type in a password to Re-unlock 1password

>Oopsie-poopsie phone died!

>Charge phone for 5 min so I can turn it on

>Type in phone password because you can't use biometrics after shutdown

>Open Google authenticator and get 2FA for system

>"Sorry your authentication attempt has timed out"

>Type in password to unlock 1password

>Copy password to system

>Type in 2FA code from phone

>Finally logged into system so I can do work

>Oh it's meeting time anyway

>Meeting is 30 mins

>After meeting get back to the tab with the system

>"You've been logged out due to inactivity"

I'd honestly rather drink a verification can.

No need to be so jealous and insecure bro, just because you're not getting fucked doesn't mean you're a lesser human being or less valid as a person. We don't measure human worth in penis.
