you’re probably an idiot. I know I am.

Vespair,

Yeah the first year of recreational in Colorado there was so many photos of girl scouts selling outside dispensaries.

Probably sold record cookies that year, too

Vespair,

Loss is a good meme, but imo B^U was the superior CAD meme.

Also fuck Tim Buckley, still.

Vespair,

Scroll down to the “Reception” section, it’s in the first paragraph. It’s hard to get the full effect from that paragraph though, as B^U became an automatically response to anything Buckley or C-A-D related for a long while. It was more of a textual social meme than an image macro’ed meme so it doesn’t cast as long of a shadow today, but I’ll always associate Tim with B^U first.

Vespair,

Snapping half the life forms also snaps half of the world’s gut bacteria. If we removed half of the gut bacteria from those who weren’t snapped, that would be removing 75% of the universe’s gut bacteria, not 50%.

Vespair,

Why assume that though? The Infinity Gauntlet isn’t a Monkey’s Paw, it reads beyond the words and answers the intent of the wielder. So much so, in fact, that it even includes subconscious thoughts and feelings as part of its interpretation. I see often these ideas predicated on the Gauntlet working on Monkey Paw logic despite that being clearly and specifically not how it operates within canon.

Vespair,

No, the desired effects was to undo Thanos’s snap, not double the human population. This means that all of the gut bacteria got unsnapped exactly the same as everyone else

Vespair,

Now this is good Infinity Gauntlet critique! This is a legit problem that honestly should have been tackled in the comics

Vespair, (edited )

Yeah you’re correct, my bad. In the films, however.

edit: I guess they kind of tackle the issue, although they for some reason seemed to focus more on where these people go rather than how to handle the sudden resource strain

Vespair,

You’re allowed to use profanity on the internet

Vespair,

This joke has never once been funny

Vespair,

Build a man a fire and he’ll be warm for an hour; light a man on fire and he’ll be warm for the rest of his life

Vespair,

It’s “real” in that it’s not photoshopped, but it was never really used and was always just a dumb joke for social media:

babygaga.com/truth-about-daddys-sticker-chart-rev…

y’all taking literal boomer humor at face value. That’s embarrassing

Vespair,

Sorry, the “y’all” was directed at the rest who weren’t questioning this bait; I didn’t mean to imply it was towards you

Vespair,

All good, it was an understandable way to read my comment and entirely my fault for being unclear. But I think we’re good. Cheers ✌

Vespair,

Vespair,

I’m talking about the creator, relevant, and specifically referring to this particular comic (as well as their others) as awful and without a punchline, so that doesn’t feel like nothing about the topic to me.

Negativity is a valid opinion and negativity isn’t the same as incivility (and thus shouldn’t be prohibited)

Vespair, (edited )

There really isn’t. The “punchline” here is predicated on the idea that the reader will assume the character will react with transphobia, as if transphobia is the default reaction, but if you don’t assume that reaction either because that’s not your worldview or you’re familiar enough with the creator to understand the context of their work, then there is nothing left to serve as a punchline. I won’t say “virtue signaling” because that’s a stupid phrase and frankly there is legitimately some value to the signaling of virtue in the first place anyway (especially when said signal is one of welcoming to a disenfranchised community like our trans brothers and sisters), but the only “joke” here is pandering. It’s “hey you expected me to be awful but I’m actually incredible!!,” and that’s not a punchline.

edit: typos

Vespair,

I didn’t say the reader, I said the character. She isn’t making any “comment” about anything here; acknowledging a situation exists is not inherently making commentary on it nor injecting humor into it. This is at best pandering, at worst pandering with an appetizer of rage-baiting.

Do I hate this? No. Is it evil? No. Do I hate pizzacake? No. Do I even object to this awful non-punchline comic being posted here? No. The only thing I object to is the bullshit special treatment and kid gloves certain creators on the other site received for no worthwhile reasons, and am preemptively sounding the alarm that we should be wary that such behavior does not seep over here too.

Point being, if you enjoy this comic, punchline or not, that is okay. I’m not really interested in further spending time arguing the merits or non-merits of the work of somebody I’m not interested in with you, so if you still wish to argue that there is some deep commentary or punchline to be found here, I hope we simply land on agreeing to disagree on the topic.

Vespair,

I find it doesn’t meet my standards for a punchline, if that’s what you’re trying to say, yes.

Vespair,

My friend, I do not agree with you.

Vespair,

Quality over quantity, imo.

Vespair,

Nor would a cacophony of praise, but at least one of the two presented options would be authentic

Vespair,

Wait… How am I missing out on all this NSFW content? I’m just seeing Linux and Star Trek memes, somebody help me find the titties!

Vespair,

Accord to status.lemm.ee, lemm.ee is federated with lemmynsfw and I even personally sub to a couple lemmynsfw communities. I also have NSFW enabled and unblurred in settings, and still I never see porn unless I actively seek it out. I want surprise titties, goddamn it!

Vespair, (edited )

Hey, I don’t love my client yet, so I’m down to check out Thunder. Thanks for the recommendation, whether it ends up not helping me find my sought-after surprise titties or not 👍
