I believe that’s only in the animated version, in the comic he just fails to save him. The comic gets weird as hell tho, beyond just the typical complete misunderstanding of communism, capitalism, really anything about material reality or human nature.

Don’t worry it’s not the silly letter quote - I know that would be devastating to lose

We have both - seeing this one (or maybe a variation on it) this morning was what prompted me to actually go find the source, I was curious. Is there anywhere to see a list of taglines?

Oh shit I’m sorry, I didn’t realize. I’ll put it in an archive link

Thankfully the silly letter quote is real, if we lost that one I would be inconsolable

I mean tbh I also wondered that but I saw it enough times I just kind of assumed even he got pissed off enough to say that once

I don’t know anything about SDL but we literally have that quote as a site tagline and I see it here all the time, I went to go find the origin and found this. Apologies if I posted a bad source, truly don’t know anything about them

Ah sorry, I was just being a smartass, no idea how much VR is on mturk now. To be clear I think you’ve got an accurately bleak view of the future of this stuff

My one quibble: that’s not the future of gig work, it’s the present

America I Am Better Now

The phrase “South Korea has no first graders” had such “the west has fallen (mom took away my PSP)” energy I had to do a little digging to see if the numbers were being fudged - 157 elementary schools is about 2.5% of the elementary schools in ROK assuming this data from the ROK Ministry of Education is accurate. Not an insignificant percentage for something this crazy, but I’d like to see this data over time. I worry I sound like I’m awarding Pinocchios but it irks me to see that headline presented as if it’s the majority of schools

Including Gerald Ford is a good bit

To quote Alice Caldwell-Kelly, hauntology is when you are a spooky ghost

I’m slightly to the right of Attila the Hun

I hate that I know this but is this motherfucker identifying with the military coup portrayed in the fucking movie version of Evita? This is a line from that unless I’m mistaken. Just, an unbelievable level of cringe

EDIT: I was fucking right though it might also be from the original musical

Most jokerfied timeline: she resigns next month, McConnell refuses to allow appointments in an election year and Manchin joins him, Biden campaigns on the appointment, fails, Trump appoints Barron to ensure the court stays 7-2 for the next 40 years

There’s another layer of really disgusting chauvinism in this I can’t totally articulate. Dude clearly views Palestinians/probably any Arab American as being motivated by emotion, but the rational white people can rise above and observe the facts and logic of the situation. Infantilizing Palestinians but dressing it up in this “I hear you” language, but still genuinely believing they’re stupid for being against being genocided.

You definitely don’t have to hand it to him but I will grant that him just replying to that with himself through the same AI is extremely funny

I’m normally pretty good at detecting a BMF post but I got almost to the end before I realized
