Become ungovernable.

Probably not those things then, huh?

In the early 2000s working for a major telecommunications company we were told that it took 10 positive experiences to hear back from someone (who was happy with what you did,) but for negative experiences, it averaged less than 3.

I don’t know if that’s a universal rule or what but I always operate on the assumption that people love to bitch more than they love to praise.

It’s a direct quote from the lobster himself, so it must be true!

That is John Fucking Zoidberg, and he deserves more respect.

You’ve really doubled-down since the last time I saw you.

I take medication that would absolutely make me sick if I smoked or ingested weed. And I know this because I read the interactions list, rolled my eyes, tried it anyway, and surprise!

The Wayback Machine has you covered!

(Now that it’s back up.)

I was rereading Dr. McNinja last week and the list of linked webcomics included Dresden Codak. (And a bunch of other awesome ones like Wondermark and Hark! A Vagrant.)

It’s fun to revisit these.

Anybody got a sense evil spell prepared?

Everybody check your trinkets and see which is glowing. We need an ID on this creature before initiative.

I gotta weigh in on that “weirdly antagonistic tone,” too. You literally said you’d list more but you doubted that person would read it? Just antagonistic all over.

You started it!

“I made fun of everyone.”

Did he make fun of Trump supporters? Or… white people in general?

I am phenomenally excited about that. I hope it becomes a universal thing.

I want to offer you a new superpower.

When I say, “bless you,” when someone sneezes, if someone asks me, “You aren’t religious! Who are you asking to bless me?” I answer;

“No one. I’m the one blessing you.”

So I guess, this time, you could say, “You’re doing a good thing.”

The thing about this is, I was a kid in 1996 when Bill Clinton ran against Bob Dole.

Our whole elementary school had a big educational event about the election. Bob Dole and Bill Clinton both sent personalized videos to our schools, explaining what they stood for, and we had a mock election.

My grade overwhelmingly went for Bill Clinton. (I want to say, he had a very easy-to-understand platform regarding the importance of education, and the impact it would have on us, the future electorate. And Bob Dole was… Bob Dole.)

Did I mention I grew up in a very Roman Catholic, very hardcore Republican house? That I grew up in Oklahoma, a red state?

I wasn’t the only kid standing up to my parents over the results!

I guess what I’m saying is, if the children are aware, and still choosing Trump, we need to know why. Kids don’t have a problem voting against their parents, as long as they understand the issues. And if they don’t understand the role they play in their country, we should be extending further education.

I really think that we are failing our children. Our educational system is disgraceful.

If I open my door Thursday night and go to put candy in someone’s bag and see a toothbrush, I’m giving them a second handful of candy.

I wonder if this is what people felt like when they first started reading about AIDs. We used to have it so good…

Oh my God! No, thank you!

Poor man.

I made an off-hand comment to someone recently about how they needed to remember that these fascists would make him the first against the wall, and he asked me what that meant… and I became so uncomfortable, realizing how sheltered he was.

I don’t understand how we got here. I don’t understand how people are so… unaware of how easy it is, and how close they are to danger.
