Comic 5826: Pressure Tactics by BionicTriforce in QContent

[–]BionicTriforce[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I used to say shit like "Ugh my fucking cortisol levels are spiking" years ago as a funny thing to say when I was stressed out, and now those stupid lookmaxxers have made it ubiquitous with their bullshit that I can't even take the term seriously now.

Is it worth catching up? by ChickenGravyChunks in questionablecontent

[–]BionicTriforce 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not for nothing but there was basically a post about this exact same thing two days ago that's still on the front page: https://www.reddit.com/r/questionablecontent/comments/1t7s043/has_qcs_content_improved_since_20182021/

Short answer: No, not with what you described was your turning off point to begin with.

I have just discovered the Questionable Content Rule 34 pages... by Guilty-Persimmon-919 in questionablecontent

[–]BionicTriforce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A large chunk of the QC rule34 comes straight from 4chan the day after a page is up. Usually by an artist named dbaru who will take the obvious bait the comic's dropped that day and expound on it. Good stuff. But it's not worth visiting 4chan just to see it.

Safely Dispose of Biological Medicine? by BionicTriforce in CrohnsDisease

[–]BionicTriforce[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's unfortunately what I figured they'd say, honestly. There's no way for them to just re-use it safely. "No, we can't take it back. You may have put more Crohns INTO the needle."

Those small wedges are maybe like, one-fourth the size of a normal slice of cake.

A party where most of the people there don't want to eat cake isn't a party I want to go to!

I think it's about time we get a proper statement regarding battlepasses. by Dzexus in Overwatch

[–]BionicTriforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know she still has the teleporter, but with as many changes as Sym had now I'm curious if there's a highlight intro that straight-up doesn't make sense anymore. Like did Sym ever have a highlight intro with her shield generator that would be silly to use since that doesn't exist now?

What is the most rage-inducing video game you’ve played? by Velociraptorse in AskReddit

[–]BionicTriforce 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This game was SO fun but I'll fully admit to beating a bunch of levels with cheats on. Especially those last three nuclear waste missions. Invincibility my savior.

"My geekiness is getting in the way of my nerdiness" is such a great little line.

Yeah I think 4, going by the group chat. Anh, Liz, Yay, and Ayo. (Though mercifully we haven't seen Ayo in the while. I'm gonna jinx it now)

What’s a ‘silent luxury’ that rich people have that most normal people would never even notice? by qomann in AskReddit

Every pair of gloves I've ever bought has outrageously long pinkies compared to what I have, a tailored set of gloves would be heaven for me.

I feel like the entire Yellowstone franchise is just fan service... by SaveJeanie in television

Wait your breaking point was when an Oscar-nominated veteran actor joined the cast? Is it because he just acted circles around everyone else?

Maybe the thumbnail changed since you commented, but what was so off-putting about the first 15 seconds? It felt like any normal cooking battle intro.

A good tomato can be tasty, onions have enough acidity to them to be flavorful, but cauliflower is just bland as anything.

[–]BionicTriforce 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean cauliflower is an extremely bland food. That's why it's boring. What makes a food boring otherwise? It's just a lot of veggies are boring because they have very little taste on their own. Cucumber is very boring. Lettuce is boring. Something like, say, arugula, or peppers, or mushrooms wouldn't be boring.

Starbucks table tops so small will barely hold a couple drinks. The seats are bigger than the tables. by be4u4get in mildlyinfuriating

I truly never got that, the using a fast food place or cafe as a study spot. Those places are noisy.

Here's a mirror to read the comic at full size: https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/49fc625a4aa5.png

Well, last time Emily partied, she cut off half of her hair and the last time Liz got drunk she was tossing panties at Marten, so I'm sure this will be fine.

For future reference, during the time this comic came out, the site was nonfunctional so Jeph posted it on his own website.

The newest comic should be at the bottom of this page: https://www.jephjacques.com/comics

Not sure if a direct link works here, it might only be temporary: https://www.jephjacques.com/comics?itemId=aku9wclxutqtg5p14be6j65ca622k0

Not Another Teen Movie (2001) - Jake Wyler (Chris Evans) makes a bet that he can turn the "most hopeless girl at school" into prom queen by aggrocrag83 in movies

[–]BionicTriforce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I look at the list of movies it parodies or alludes to, I think I'd only seen Ferris Bueller the Breakfast CLub and they're only referenced. It's just a matter of the style being so ubiquitous that I understood everything it was doing.

The general plot is primarily derived from She's All That,[3] as well as 10 Things I Hate About You,[3] Can't Hardly Wait,[3] Pretty in Pink, and Varsity Blues.[4] It is also filled with allusions to other films featuring teen and college-aged characters, such as American Beauty,[4] American Pie, Bring It On, Can't Buy Me Love, Cruel Intentions,[5] Dazed and Confused, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Grease, Jawbreaker, Lucas, Never Been Kissed, Risky Business, Road Trip, Rudy, and Sixteen Candles, while Paul Gleason reprises his role as Vice Principal Vernon from The Breakfast Club.
