Nothings easy. But things like getting enough sleep, eating well, having a sense of purpose to the day, and getting enough movement in the day are those types of things that make a huge difference but are difficult to implement for good chunk of the population, let alone those with executive dysfunction.
It annoys me that this isn’t just a funny comic. I know some 60+ year old folks who pretty much only talk like that, thinking they’ve eaten wisdom with a spoon, purely based on life experience. Except that they’re not actually saying anything.
Yarp i like being an adult, it’s the part about the world being poo and the assumption that it’s responsibility to fix it that I’m hatin’.
I’m fine with taxes but i should still have hopes! I should still get to do fun! It’s not fair that the fun got all sucked out! It’s all been sucked out! And it wasn’t even too terribly long ago.
I hear lots of stories (i bet y’all have too) from people who have worked any job for 10-20 years about how much more fun or at least laid back it used to be.
Being an adult should be fun. I should get to, with my adult freedoms, do the things i dreamed of as a child! I don’t need to have the white ferrari testarossa from Miami vice but i should have the house and a nice life where i can take a month or two off every year.
Yes i should Bygawad!
Ok to finish my very serious missive, It’s not being an adult that’s the sucky part, it’s definitely the poo world.
Hey move to Europe friend. I have 5 weeks vacation (going to negotiate for more this year) and bought my house 3 years ago. It was an arm and a leg to be fair but my monthly mortgage payments now are sub 1k for a family home.
My wife and I both work 40 hours but could drop to 32 if we really wanted and still be comfortable. Most families I know at least one partner works part time.
I think tom scott did a video where he mentioned that in the original languange it was “whale killer” not killer whale but people tranlated it word for word, losinh the meaning.
Isn’t this one of those sayings that has been reversed over the years? Wasn’t it originally to mean that misery spreads misery? Though maybe I think that because some abuse it as a, “smile more” type of vapid advice.
As someone who has thought similar to this in the past I would say it’s more about no longer worrying about things like how am I going to pay for a place to live, a car or other transportation, or caring for others with no job. I can imagine things may look better to them if someone hit the reset button on the world since they may have more of an opportunity to survive in the new world than in the current one.
No, dolphins and porpoises are separate families. Orcas are with the dolphins. Porpoises are actually closer with other types of whales like belugas and narwhals. At least per the most widely accepted taxonomy.
All of these are classified as cetaceans though (infraoder, above family) and of course have a common ancestor if you go back far enough.
Idk why the show gets so much hate. Something about the current streaming landscape has ruined people’s appreciation for clean comedy, but I just can’t quite put my finger on it.
Sure, it didn’t leave me in stitches every episode, but it’s a wholesome show with some clever jokes. I don’t even have kids and I enjoyed it
Strange Planet, a TV show based on this comic series made by Apple.
I didn’t know it existed either. I will now try to include a link to the wiki page, but having seen many Reddit users fail at this due to some markdown issue, I will probably not succeed:
I would too. I would love to see this spin on the old westerns where the settlers are pushing further into Indian country and instead of the Indians being the badies as they defend the territory, the settlers are portrayed as the invaders, and they are turned back to return to Europe like the Vikings did before 600 years before them.
A kind man rescued a lobster from a grocery store seafood market tank and brought him home and has detailed every step of the way to healing and recovery and thriving and he spoils this Lobster, and the YouTube videos are well edited and amusing.
I think the implication of the last panel is supposed to be that the apple seller can’t stop everyone, but if this was really an accurate satire, he’d chop down every tree, sue everyone that picked the apples, and then go back to selling his giant flavorless GMO apples for $5 a piece
The hell of it is, some people would still be happy to buy his apples. Look, I ain’t got time or health insurance to be fucking around climbing an apple tree, here’s some cash, apples pls. But that’s not good enough for the investors, who want guaranteed 5% growth every quarter, so now we’ve got to pour kerosene on the extra apples and force people to go hungry.
Originally I thought the joke was that after chopping down the one tree, eventually he had a shitload of trees grow (from the fallen apples), but guess not.
but if this was really an accurate satire, he’d chop down every tree, sue everyone that picked the apples, and then go back to selling his giant flavorless GMO apples for $5 a piece
Only if he couldn’t figure out a way to rent apples to customers.
Why does it matter if an apple is modified or not?
Modifying plants for better yields, less water usage, higher resistance to pests, better taste, and so on. Seems like a great idea in my mind.
Either way this comic is bad. It’s stupidly easy to just plant an apple tree in your back/front yard, if you have one. Apples aren’t that picky about where they want to be planted.
They should have gone for a better analogy if they are trying to say something.
Why does it matter if an apple is modified or not?
In general, I am not opposed to GMOs. All those benefits would be great. But in practice, companies aren’t modifying the product to be better for the consumer, they’re modifying it to sell better, and cost less to produce. That basically means bigger, and less diverse, which actually ends up making them less resistant to pests and disease
He would fence off the trees, and lobby his local government to require permits for picking apples, permits that have an issuing limit that somehow coincides with the number of apple stands he has. Picking apples without a permit would result in a fine of $10,000, or a year in jail.
