"Hey, it's been about a year, and I'm totally not fucking jobless for about a year and a half, and that I've totally not wasted my time on contributing to open-source projects, and that I've absolutely not gone insane by sitting inside my room all alone, trying to work on side projects, which are still incomplete? Hahahaha, no I'm not weird."

Don't listen to me if i am off base, but it sounds to me like you have a chance to talk with someone you have made a real connection to in this fucked up world and did not simply from shame. What have you done to be ashamed about?

I feel like maybe you're feeling bad for not measuring up to some standard you have set for yourself, yet your passion projects show me you have been busy doing something you feel is important.

Where is the wasted time? What exactly is it you feel you must have completed in this time to have it notbe a waste?

I don't believe in the wasting of time, and i firmly dismiss the idea that you are what you do for a living, especially in this time and age where many jobs have had most of what makes them fulfilling stripped away from them.

You, in the meantime have found a way towards food and shelter while working on something that matters to you, and you're keeping sane in an insane fucking world. Im not blowing smoke when i tell you to be proud of this. I envy you. Be proud of the choices you have made. You made them. Do not balk just because you believe the world will judge you. You haven't even given your friend a chance!

We're all going crazy my brother, and we need other people more than ever.

So listen up mister. You call him back right now.

Maaan i wish there was some more info on what the white house 'believes' is expensive, cuz whether this policy could be amazing or useless depends entirely upon that question mark

I wonder if it was intentional on the artist's part to change the helmet after panel 2?

I feel my neuroplasticity plasticisizin

I read "senility operating system" which is stupid and also probably the OS I have installed

He's right. We should be working waaaaay less

...doesn't mean MS isnt a blood sucking monster.

Bill Gates hatred of mosquitos finally clicked for me. He's getting rid of the competition!

So if Microsoft somehow proves that they doesn’t deserve hate they are getting

Ok i know you're not being serious but my mind reels. What would that look like? There would have to be Clancy novel levels of shit going on

Yeah Congress didn't tie his hands and force him to override laws (which by the acts definition should only be invoked to protect the nation against threats).

He could just add easily declare his hands tied by the 26 laws he is instead breaking. He could say the wall's completion wouldn't do anything to enhance national security (something i recall libs saying when it was trumps wall).

This is a lie, plain and simple.

So they're using the parliamentarian defense again eh? I didn't buy it then and it won't fly now

There is no morality in the purchasing of goods. I will pirate everything, always, for as long as i can
