9:07am and tell me to return 15 minutes after and I’d be pulling out my phone every 5 seconds and doing math.

Is it really so hard to add 15?

Not to mention they’re worse at keeping time.

You know, like the whole point of a watch.

That’s some solid reframing, bro 👍

Neat.

Owner. It’s what the owner is taking, and usually they’re working way less than everyone else.

The comparison in this case is operating on the word half, not on the subject of the sentence:

Only half want to get married, even less [than half] want kids.

The target being the executives who will approve the marketer’s work.

So the developers claim, but the users still encounter it, and the bug report stays open for 22 years … possibly more.

Oh but the word mankind in itself overlooks women. We’re all supposed to be saying humankind now.

You underestimate my capacity for failure.

It just means he can’t do it by himself.

Yours won’t be perfect, but you can do the whole thing by yourself.

I stopped reading after the third book too, and that’s exactly the sense I got.

There’s no conclusions, just character deaths. It’s just an unraveling web that becomes less and less coherent the further it goes.

Excellent use of the second and third panels. Really adds so much to the whole thing.

No, it’s STACY and a couple other people.

Caffeine is pretty well studied and it’s known that the long term health effects are nothing close to cocaine. I doubt if there was any good science back then on the long term effects of cocaine, let alone enough education for the populace to know and understand it.

However social perceptions may change anyway. What we consider as not serious may be considered much more serious in the future. For example many people get headaches or even migraines as a withdrawal symptom of caffeine, and we don’t consider a headache to be serious.

But I saw a Star Trek episode once where Picard gets a headache and it was a big deal because those had been solved for hundreds of years by that time! Turns out the ferengi were controlling his mind or something. So caffeine may be considered a serious drug in the future if it interferes with the detection of alien mind control devices.

It goes on the rim and hangs inside the toilet bowl, right? That thing is festering with shit particles if so.

My favourite is the “upload your genitals as jpeg”

Literally every example OP gave predates the hunger games.

I can’t stand the actor’s gross smokers voice, but she was an awesome character and her voice actually kind of fit with it. It’s harsh and untempered, just like the character.
