This has been me most of this week. Just buried in as much distraction as possible.

[-] BoobaAwooga@lemmynsfw.com 43 points 4 days ago

That’s exactly what he should do. He can’t control the world ending, but he can control his own happiness

[-] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 31 points 4 days ago

Of course you would turn to the comics. They are right there and it might be your last chance to read them.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

Off the news, out of facebook and reduced Politics subs by half

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

I blocked a ton of words and subs and I refuse to engage in this shit. Just LMK when we’re killing nazis.

[-] linearchaos@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Hells yeah, trying not to programmatically block things so I don't miss something that's actually important, but you can't doom scroll this @#$%

[-] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

I am trying the same thing, but politics somehow keeps coming up even amongst my 'apolitical' friends.

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Is this sarcastic where the 'apolitical' friends is not really apolitical but just labeled themselves as apolitical?

[-] gndagreborn@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Nail on the head. Worse yet, my more centrist friends basically cheered at trump's win. Not so centrist I guess right? What happened to "both candidates are equally bad guys"?

[-] hark@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

The most realistic portrayal of a dystopia.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 30 points 4 days ago

Life is short. Be happy now, in any small way that you can.

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 17 points 4 days ago

Imagine if you could vote to stop the meteor but choose to stay home and read the comics instead.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 40 points 4 days ago

I voted to stop the meteor. Now I'm reading comics.

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 0 points 4 days ago

That's understandable and not implied by the comic, so you're not targeted by my joke.

[-] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

"But think of the jobs the meteor will create!"

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 6 points 4 days ago

Also, "don't look up."

[-] LiPoly@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 4 days ago

Imagine actively voting for the meteor to hit earth faster!

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 4 days ago

I hear the meteor has a lot of palladium, which should help our economy.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

I would like to celebrate it as a foundational nutrient for all life on Earth

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

The meteor and global warming are both the same, still trying to kill people. I will vote third-party for world peace instead.

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 4 days ago

A vote for a third party under FPTP is mathematically a vote against the party closest to your values. If you live in the US, that means you vote(d) against the Democratic Party and for the Republican Party.

I too long for a third party, but 2024 is not the time.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 10 points 4 days ago

Unfortunately, most people won't understand this and still vote for third party even when third party will almost certainly never win, in the context of present day Murican politics.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 8 points 4 days ago

But I'm protesting the meteor by not voting!

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 4 days ago

40% of people are voting to divert the meteor and 40% are voting to accelerate it towards us...

Hmmm... I vote we change the moon's orbit a bit. I'm a single-issue voter and neither plan really addresses the moon very well.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

That's pretty good. I don't have anything to add.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

Before last Tuesday, I would have found this comic depressing.

[-] Krauerking@lemy.lol 9 points 4 days ago

Yeah, well... I like comics.

[-] jewbacca117@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

ugh don't get my hopes up

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

There's a mass without roofs,

A prison to fill

A country soul

That reads comics no bills

A strike and a line of cops outside of the mill

There's the right to obey and the right to kill

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Tired of always the same doomsday news. Yees you got repeatedly a conviccted felon with ties to russia as president. Yees, Israel genocides and Russia does next stupid thing in Ukraine. Children are dying of hunger and celebrity X broke up with Y. Comics are fun.

[-] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Did Garfield eat lasagna again?
