Happy Make A Terrible Comic Day!! Featuring Max and Chloe from the hit video game Life is Strange (2015).

I think Chloe would actually love Barry HBO.

I hate when a website has a drop down form that lets you select something other than male or female but doesn’t have a separate field for legal and preferred name. Sorry, I shouldn’t have to have an in person conversation with someone to fix this. Having a preferred name field should be standard

So I got about five more pages into Bleak House. A character is described as “scent[ing] the dining room with bear’s grease.” I check the footnote. It tells me bear’s grease is a Victorian cure for baldness. I Google “victorian bears grease ingredients”. It’s made of bear fat. Don’t know what I expected

Or obligatory feel good stories

Hate when people act like folks with intellectual disabilities are like, adorable little puppies to coo over

somebody told me once "if you're explaining, you're losing", because a debate is setup not as a conversation or consensus. and i feel like i've been debating my identity for years.

do you really want to know "why", or you want a distraction from learning the thing to do to make things better?

I have no particular stance on whether estrogen would have saved Shinji, but I'm looking at it from the family dynamic angle, and... well, Jesus Christ. On a good day, Shinji already looks like a teenage soft butch version of Yui Ikari – can you imagine how Gendo would react to his "son" slowly morphing into his dead wife?

(...) the relationship between creators and platforms is inherently hostile.

There's a huge incentive in the Internet age to approach everything as just pals "We're all on the same side, we're in this together, get involved, help the site grow!" The main problem there is that it's not actually true. We're not on the same side.

Now, I as a content producer, and you as a platform developer, have mutually beneficial goals that are pointed in the same general direction but our incentive sets on the granular level are quite different and diverge as the site's popularity grows.

As the site gets more and more traffic your incentive as a platform shifts from managing individuals to managing the product as a whole and pivots hard towards managing relationships with advertisers instead of content creators.

Of particular importance is that as these interests diverge, the individual creators lose bargaining power."

"Cuentan que Dios creó al burro y le dijo que trabajaría de sol a sol y cargaría sobre sus lomos lo que le pusieran, asignándole para vivir 35 años. El burro le dijo: "Señor, todo está bien pero 35 años es mucho. ¿No podrías rebajármelo a 20? Y así hizo el Señor. Luego creó al perro diciéndole que cuidaría de la casa de los amos, comería lo que le dieran y viviría 25 años. Y el perro respondió que sí a todo, aunque le dijo al Señor que con 15 años de vida le bastaba. Y así se hizo. Luego Dios creó al mono, le dijo que haría payasadas para divertir a la gente y quiso que viviera 10 años aunque el mono, que aceptó todo lo demás, le convenció para vivir tan solo 5. Por fin creó al hombre y, tras decirle que sería el ser más inteligente de la creación, le dijo que viviría 30 años a lo que el hombre respondió: "Señor, me parecen pocos ¿no me puedes dar los 15 que rechaza el burro, los 10 que no quiso el perro y los 5 que no aceptó el mono? Consintió Dios y así ocurre: vive 30 años como un hombre, luego se casa y vive 15 como un burro, trabajando de sol a sol y cargando sob re sus espaldas el peso de la familia. Luego se jubila y vive 10 años como un perro, cuidando de la casa y comiendo lo que le den; y, por fin, acaba los 5 últimos años como un mono, saltando de casa en casa de sus hijos y haciendo payasadas para divertir a sus nietos.
