I am of the belief that this artist started explicitly mentioning that this is a mouse, in every comic he makes, ever since that time I thought it was a koala bear.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you think being famous is actually like?
72·19 hours agoI don’t know what you do with your life, and there’s no way to include everyones life in one post.
So lets just say you work at a laundromat. 8am-4pm.
Being famous would be like going to a grocery store at 6pm, and EVERYBODY is screaming your name, and saying things like “OMG!!! I LOVED HOW YOU ADDED FABRIC SOFTENER TO THAT LOAD OF LAUNDRY!!! I BET IT CAME OUT SMELLING SOOOOO NICE!!! CAN YOU SIGN MY NAPKIN???”
And then you go to the movies, and as you’re getting out of your car some random guy comes RUSHING over, and starts hugging you, and taking out his cell phone to take selfies with you without asking. And thats when you realize he’s not harmful, just disrespectful. In the past, people have ran at you with a knife because they saw you add Tide, but they prefer Gain.
And as you enter the movie theater, you see a couple of girls who notice you, and rush over and ask if you’d sign their tits. And you do.
Then you go watch your movie. And by the time you get out, you see all your silenced notifications. The world is talking about how you’re a pedophile, and tried grooming two 14 year old girls. And now half the internet is defending you saying there’s no proof, and the other half are saying they have pictures of your autograph on their tits.
The next day you meet a fan as you’re leaving work, and he pulls a gun. The gun jams, and you get away unharmed.
So you become a bit more reclusive. You no longer sign tits. You no longer engage with fans on the street. And now the internet is calling you an asshole. Saying you’re ignoring fans when they see you on the street. So you make your public time next to zero. You put out a tweet that basically says you love your fans but there’s been some incidents lately that haven’t gone well.
And now the internet is speculating if the girls were fabricated, and AI created to help you sell more washes at the laundromat.
So now at work everyone hates you for trying to decieve the customers. And you realize none of this is real. None of it matters. You may as well shave your head, and just go off on anyone who looks at you funny.
So then the internet talks about how you “went crazy”, and moved to Africa, when in reality you just moved to a small town in Ohio, where everyone is racist to you.
So now at your now at your new laundromat job, the stress gets to you, and you lash out at a customer.
AM I GOING TO WALK AROUND AND RIP YOUR FUCKING CLOTHES OUT OF THE WASHER??? THEN WHY FUCK ARE YOU WALKING RIGHT THROUGH??? AH-DA-DA-DA-DAAAH LIKE THIS IN THE BACKGROUND??? WHAT THE FUCK IS IT WITH YOU??? WHAT DON’T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND??? YOU GOT ANY FUCKING IDEA ABOUT HEEEEY, IT’S FUCKING DISTRACTING HAVING SOMEONE WALKING UP BEHIND BRYCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FUCKING WASH CYCLE??? GIVE ME A FUCKING ANSWER!!! WHAT DON’T YOU GET ABOUT IT??? OOOOOOH, GOOD FOR YOU!!! AND HOW WAS IT??? I HOPE IT WAS FUCKING GOOD, BECAUSE IT’S USELESS NOW, ISN’T IT? FUCK SAKE YOU’RE AMATURE! STAY OFF THE FUCKING LOT, MAN! FUCK SAKE! NO! LETS NOT TAKE A FUCKING MINUTE! LETS GO AGAIN! I’M GOING TO FUCKING KICK YOUR FUCKING ASS, IF YOU DON’T SHUT UP FOR A SECOND!!! ALL RIGHT? I’M GOING TO GO…DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING TRASH YOUR LAUNDRY??? DO YOU WANT ME TO FUCKING TRASH YOUR CLOTHES??? THEN WHY ARE YOU TRASHING MY DAY??? YOU ARE TRASHING MY DAY! YOU DO IT ONE MORE TIME, AND I AIN’T WALKIN IN THIS LAUNDROMAT IF YOU’RE STILL A CUSTOMER! I’M FUCKING SERIOUS! YOU’RE A NICE GUY. YOU’RE A NICE GUY, BUT THAT DON’T FUCKING CUT IT WHEN YOU’RE FUCKING AROUND LIKE THIS!"
This then brings new people into your life who promise to make everything better. A whole organization dedicated to protecting laundromat employees by violently qttacking and harassing anyone who dares oppose you. Even going to far as to kill peoples dogs, and protest the funeral of dead soldiers because the widow in attendance wrote something mean about you online. In addition they will stalk people for you, and kidnap people for you, and give you connections to lawyers, and drugs, and women, and weapons, and cars, and all you have to do is remain loyal to them…or else they will kill you.
And that’s what being a celebrity is all about.

Games@lemmy.world•What gaming console you own/owned disappointed you the most and why ?English
2·22 hours agoI find myself playing more retro stuff.
I bought the Retroid Pocket Flip 2, which is exactly the same everything as a Retroid Pocket 5, with the exception of form factor. With apps like game native, I can play older PC games.
But like…have you ever played Super Mario Bros 2 at 2am, while smoking weed? The game holds up.
I guess I’m not a fan of the greyscale realistic graphics of a dystopian future, and everybody is shooting guns.
Yaaaaaaaaaawn.
But Stardew Valley?
The Survivalists?
Those games are amazing! Colorful graphics. I don’t need realism. I need escapism. I need worlds that make me feel SOMETHING positive in my life.
But ever since PS2, it’s been guns guns guns, rainy grey skies, post apocaliptic worlds. I don’t need that, and it’s been industry standard for 25 years it feels like.
I’m loving my Flip2 though.

Games@lemmy.world•What gaming console you own/owned disappointed you the most and why ?English
2·22 hours agoI guess the PS3?
I felt like I begrudgingly bought it, out of spite. Like I HAD to buy it, or I was no longer a modern gamer.
And then it just fell flat for me. I played GTA, and maybe a handfull of other games, but mostly GTA.
I guess the PS4 is actually the same story, except I just never played it. To this day I have a PS4 that I never really used. But I also had no excitement for it.
And I guess the same for PS5. I bought it to play GTA 6, thinking it was coming soon. That was 4 years ago. I’ve watched dvds more than I’ve played games on it.
But with PS3, I actually had excitement brewing. I expected big things. It just never materialized.
I’ve already decided I’m not buying a PS6, and I’m not buying GTA6.

Really could be either. Does she push things off coffee tables? Wait, that proves nothing. Your daughter might be two…

3·1 day agoOddly enough, saying quirky things is kinda The Tick’s whole thing.
So, from that petspective, they probably picked the best superhero.
Heeeey, don’t feel bad. It could happen to anyone! You’re not stupid. I’m stupid. I don’t even have a grasp of what you’re talking about or how you did it.
Computer boo-boo!
Computer boo-boo!
I recently found out that there is a non-insignificant portion of the population that doesn’t wipe, doesn’t have a bidet, just a shit filled asscrack. And thats just how they live life.
I cannot understand.
Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy???
I think 10 year old me was the coolest! That was clearly my peak.
42 year old me now wonders why I can’t wear boxer shorts, and drain chains as a necklace, with a yin yang charm on a bracelet anymore, while drinking a capri sun.

22·1 day agoWell thats ok. Cats don’t have stupid hangups like humans do, about things like age, skin color, they don’t even know what religion is.
We’re the ones making things stupid.
Broccoli Cheddar is just a happy lil kitty.

Political Weirdos @lemmy.world•the fear they strike into mediocre men is an inspiration
7·1 day agoGiven the surrealist nature of The Tick, I can imagine him saying
I am very proud of our angry little women
But I can’t imagine The Tick making it about politics. So one of two things is true. Either
A) The Tick never said that. In which case I’m confused how you read this story/headline, and immediately assosiated it with The Tick.
Or
B) There’s some episode where “leftie” doesn’t pertain to politics, and you’re using the quote for the meme, although out of context.
So I guess my question is, which episode is this from? I grew up on The Tick, and I don’t remember this line. I’m less versed in the comics. Is it from the comic, even though this is a screenshot from the 1995 animated show?
- Maybe even 2. I’d have to see it in person.

There is a very easy way to force linux users to enforce this. However, I won’t give it away here, because as far as I can tell the current law makers are clueless.
And I don’t want to give them clues.
