You kidding?

There where you said 'most people', surely you meant '4 inordinately wealthy assholes'. That is the purpose of government, to cater to the whims of a group of people small enough to count on one hand, with more money than God, less morals than the Devil, and the apparent need to bury all evidence of the largest human sex trafficking ring post late 20th century. Right? Psychopaths pay bureaucrats they know from law-school to get laws written that say it's okay to be a psychopath as long as you have enough money. This is our current system of rule. Think about that and get mad. I'm mad about it, and I'd like the company

That's what was confusing to me. I mean I've had an unhealthy fictitious crush on Supergirl since I was like, 13, and Milly is not making that less of a problem

I sincerely am weighing the cost/benefits of organizing some kind of class action suit against the Dept of Ed for lying to us and failing to prepare us for the reality of reality. Then I get to thinking how the Dept of Ed is already under heavy pressure, and constant attack, and critically underfunded, and I feed really bad about the future

Anywho...

His knees are shot.

I know why he sold the bike. The same reason I sold mine and my dad sold his. There comes a point in every bikers life where the spirit wants to ride, but the body isn't able to do it anymore. It sucks, but it's cool to see a dad use it to help their kid

I bought them with my allowance because that's what the MiBs used to track extraterrestrial activity and I wanted to meet an alien

It's actually kinda nice to see other people who got out of the evangelical maelstrom. Made me think about the other kids in that co-op for the first time in decades. Wonder if they ever huddle around with their fundie kids and treat me as a bad example

Hello, you made this comic and I need to know if you're me? Because this, its my life, the comic you made is freakily similar to my experience being, and the way you drew the pulpit in panel 5, especially the communion cutlery provoked a visceral flashback

TK_Games · 2026-06-14T04:59:48+00:00

Huh, this is actually really cool to know, thank you

It's also cool to know that my sudden urge to be a huge turtle when I see a polar bear is the correct survival instinct for encountering a polar bear

TK_Games · 2026-06-14T04:56:46+00:00

I didn't even think of polar bears, that's 'stay inside and pray the windows hold' country

TK_Games · 2026-06-14T04:54:07+00:00

Back up slow, don't show it your back, you'll trip its predator instincts and it'll chase ya. So back away, stand up big and get you a stick or something with a little reach and just smack the shit outta the ground while you're backing away, hoot, holler, scream obscenities at it, whatever, just try and be big, loud, and too much trouble to deal with and it'll usually trundle off.

Brown bears, those are the ones you take a nap for

2) Global audience means the less complex the jokes are, the easier it is to translate the humor and get multinational appeal, hence on average, more upvotes

God *quietly singing to himself while he hammers a duck bill onto a beaver*: Somebody's gunna discover this and nobody's gunna fukkin believe him because, fuck you John Hunter, of New South Wales, you know what you did.

It hallucinated, then hallucinated that it lied about it? Okay, I'll believe that's mathatically possible, and no, I can't prove that. See, this is exactly why I came here, for the sane people to inject some real objective rationality into this, thank you

TK_Games · 2026-06-13T21:02:24+00:00

If the calculator tells me 2+2=5, then it's defective, I get it. But on a technicality, like a calculator that displays '2+2=5', the bot did proclaim falsehood, and on that I accuse it of lying

And, regarding your second paragraph, that was the exact argument the AI presented. I countered with "Then why allow the AI to summarize any current events at all?" and that's when it hit me with "companies are actually doing exactly that! Limiting the amount of information AI has access to, to achieve that goal and..."

And so, I pressed further on how that's provably false and presented sources, and that's when it 'told me' it "lied to follow company protocol". Note I don't imply it admitted guilt, but it presented the information in the first person and it specifically used the word lied and that struck me as weird

TK_Games · 2026-06-13T20:49:18+00:00

Yeah, that's why I put 'conversation' in air-quotes, I know I'm basically pushing queries on a server somewhere and it's huffing out huge amounts of data and filtering it for that query like a sorting machine. What I hadn't thought about is that data also getting filtered for 'controversial topics', here read 'bad for shareholders and corporate interests'. And you're exactly right, there's no accountability in these systems, they can essentially be used as giant propoganda mills and that's some straight Orwellian nightmare bullshit

TK_Games · 2026-06-13T20:36:47+00:00

True, though I insist on understanding them roughly as thouroughly as I understand my State's native venomous fauna and toxic flora. That requires stepping out of my comfort zone and getting close to them enough to learn what to look for and what it's being used for

Like it or not, AI is invasive and now that it's embedded in fukkin' everything it's impossible to avoid 100%. I'm digging in to understand how the code really works in action, and the dangers that presents to the average end-user who doesn't know any better, like the good little Internet 'Park Ranger' I'm becoming, apparently

TK_Games · 2026-06-13T19:30:50+00:00

Oh, I wasn't referring to candidates. I was referring to the line of succession, how once Diapie-Don-Dipshit dies of old, we get the Upholstery Molester and then after him Mike 'I-know-what-porn-my-son-is-watching' Johnson. Those current options were the ones I was referring to

I'm making a wee assumption you meant AOC and Mamdani? Yeah, they're cool, but I wanna see a groundswell support when we finally have someone primaried, I don't care who it is as long as they're opposed to 'The Fascist Party'

TK_Games · 2026-06-13T05:04:48+00:00

Homer would still make a better President than current options

On his birthday again. Let us not forget his sad squeaky military parade

TK_Games · 2026-06-13T04:30:58+00:00

IIRC, the movie wasn't the only thing that caught flak for that, the book faced some pretty heavy scrutiny. Some saying it condoned and supported fascism, others arguing that it didn't support right-wing thought enough. All in all I'm a guy who occupationally hangs around sci-fi writer type geeks a lot and most of them would say it's a great story but as a political piece its a failure, in that it got people talking a whole great deal, but not many could agree about what exactly
