  • I know it’s a national sport (which I also practice) to worship Bill Watterson, but I was reading this strip and thinking both how nice and friendly his style is, as well as how realistic his imaginary stories are. Sometimes it’s not just funny and creative, it also feels like he’s drawing from everyone’s childhood.

    Maybe we should sue him, how does he know so much about us (lemmings, earthlings, planetary beings, etc)?

  • Well, you’re right in principle, but with my (old, but current) Mac+Intel configuration Firefox is not as sleek as Chrome and also often Firefox turns the fan on while Chrome doesn’t (it may just be that Google is bricking Firefox when you’re on YouTube, for example)

    Anyhow, I’m trying to use Firefox as much as I can (I’ve always done so), but it’s always been true it was a better experience to use Chrome on my setup (and I’ve never used Safari)

    Edit: why the downvotes? To teach me a lesson? I said he’s right, but I do have an actual problem and cannot yet make the full move (and am going to check out the suggestions below. Thanks!)










  • Am so sorry to hear about this. Your message makes me wonder about two past relationships

    (1) In one I spent years with someone and it actually was a very toxic relationship, but I didn’t realize it during the whole time. What happened was that when I got dumped, I thought I’d die and instead I got over it very quickly by noticing how much I’d lost of myself and how I was rediscovering of myself. It turned out I was able to flush it from myself in less that 6 months. It probably also helped I had finally found what I wanted to do for myself

    (2) About a year and a half after the previous relationship, I found someone I really wanted to be with and who made it incredibly hard to get together with. I worked so hard and then we got together. After a month together, she cheated on me with my (then) best friend of several years. It took me years to get over this and we’d been together for just a month. Somehow the fact I wasn’t able to fully live this relationship hurt me way more than the previous long (but horrible) relationship.

    Finding things that you enjoy doing helps a lot, but mainly it’s time that heals your wounds.

    Thanks for coming to my TED talk

  • I know it’s a meme, but I can’t resist saying that if you check his website out, you’ll see he has all of his books and drafts available entirely for free and he also says he’s agreed with the publisher to cap the book’s price to something reasonable (which used to be true, I haven’t checked now).

    He’s also nice in person, if you talk to him!

    It’s too bad that the meme is right and his legacy will be not having given solution to any problem 😁
