Cute femboys who are reading this should absolutely NOT dm me pictures of how pretty they look today. I swear, I will get SO angry, and not even reply with a "thanks, btw you look super cute".

Unpopular opinion, I know, but I fucking love corporate pride.

Do you remember being gay a decade ago? Corporations were just starting to touch us with a ten foot pole. And it felt amazing to be acknowledged as existing, without any negative connotations.

Two decades ago? No one would touch us, unless we were the butt of a joke. That we'd hear a million times everyday.

I see corporate pride as a sign of change: sure, those billionaires are just trying to get more money out of us. They couldn't give a shit about you, or me, personally. But they're now willing to openly market to us.

That means public opinion is changing. Support for the queer community is growing. We've even become a market to be advertised to.

No, those rainbow ads don't mean anything more than the green and red ones in December, or the red hearts in February. But the fact that corporations are openly showing support, without fear of death threats, or "more importantly" losing money, means something to me.

If you do this, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Someone please tell me I did good. You have my full permission to lie to me.

Thank you for proving this wrong.

But please let me live in this world where a dongfish has a horngus for just a little while longer.

...... I mean, have you tried diet, exercise, and sleeping more? For more than a week or two?

Outside of a drama TV show where a 1 in a billion case shows up once a week, that's usually a good start.

Cool. Now all of us fellow nerds are obsessing over the fact that it's a perfect power of two.

The joke of the comic, as it also turns out, is that the two Cueballs dressed up as ninjas were just out to have a fun time teasing Stallman, and they seemed to know that Stallman's paranoia about Microsoft makes him sleep with no fewer than two katana swords near his bed. This type of sword was one of the traditionally made Japanese swords that were used by the samurai of feudal Japan mainly as a sidearm. A ninja or more accurately a Shinobi no mono was basically special forces in feudal Japan. They specialized in espionage, sabatoge, etc. they were a rough combination of MI6, CIA, and Navy SEAL in feudal japan. Although they did not specialize in assassinations, that is something that they could do. Although samurai could also be shinobi/ninjas if they chose to do that job, samurai is a social class while shinobi no mono/ninjas were a job, not a social class. So this makes sense in this comic with Stallman, the samurai, and the ninjas, the lackeys of the oppressing Microsoft (at least in his mind). It also turns out that they specifically choose targets for their raids who have reason to be paranoid of larger companies that might send someone after them, and thus sleep with weapons near their beds. Stallman has received a Katana due to this comic (see the trivia section).

If explaining a joke "kills" it, this violates every single article of the Geneva Convention, and then goes on to commit acts of war so indescribably inhumane that the authors never even considered them (lest their tongues burst into flame on the spot).

Jokes aside, I love ExplainXKCD and have had to check it more times than I'd like to admit.

I want that "floor slut requires your attention" message to be my notification for anything that ever happens in my life.

Meeting at 10? Floor slut requires your attention.

Alarm set for 6? Floor slut requires your attention.

Q: Hey did you finish that report yet?

A: Floor slut requires your attention.

I'll gladly offer myself as a snack.

(it's not a vore thing I just meant that I look cute, like a snack, and support you)

(goddammit no one would have thought it was a vore thing if I hadn't said that)

(LOOK IT'S NOT A V----

Lmao I guess when you've subjugated half the world, you can claim any dish as your own.

.... Is it me? Am I the "special character"? (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

It is a joke. People will openly tell you "we're trying for a baby."

What that actually means is "we're fucking like rabbits", and the fact that that's socially okay to say is kinda funny.

....I mean, yeah? If the number is 50 or 10 that works out great. But let's try that with 7% of 13. Now it's 13% of 7. Just like you said, "much easier to calculate."

Okay, choosing prime numbers was intentionally mean on my part. But 3% of 9 becomes 9% of 3. 4% of 2 becomes 2% of 4. Can anyone honestly look me in the eye and tell me that this tip has helped them out in any meaningful way?

Blazing Saddles openly called out racism and made it the butt of almost all of its jokes. I think both it and Airplane could be made today, and would be received well. Why do you think differently?

Do they still get a lot of radio play in the USA?

I think it's safe to say that anyone in the USA who still listens to the radio knows the Beach Boys.

As much as I desperately want this to be true, I'm just gonna chalk it up to tumblr nonsense until a source gets posted.

Meanwhile, Brits will look you dead in the eye and say "I weigh 11 stone and 5 pounds"

Fun fact: you can just pirate stuff.

You don't have to make semantic arguments to justify to yourself why it's actually moral or not technically stealing or whatever. You can just pirate stuff.

You're... Aware that Russia invaded Ukraine, right? And all of this bloodshed, all of these senselessly sacrificed lives, could've been avoided if Russia just DIDN'T invade Ukraine?
