I deserve proper pay for my work.

If people learn I am not being treated well and decide to stop purchasing things from my employer, I would prefer they follow their conscience and not get stuff rather than being happy they're using something I made.

It'll be more likely to force change long term if the employer sees a hit to their bottom line while the people tell them it's because of their poor treatment of employees.

I'd rather see everyone get fair treatment long term than see my own pockets filled with a pittance (to be paid out in 10 increments) right now

My dad continues to deny climate change.

He also likes to reminisce about the snow he had every year as a kid, and that when he was a teen, he and his brothers would drive their truck out on the frozen lake

The lake hasn't frozen solid since I was a child, and they were always telling people not to try the ice for skating since it was so thin people kept dying by falling in.

The snow hasn't stuck for more than a day since I was a teen, other than massive week-long snow/ice storms from changing weather.

It's going to be in the 90s later this week when it should be cool enough to break out hoodies.

Of course, pointing any of this out when he brings up climate change results in complete dismissal.

I'm just heading into my 3rd month and I've now heard this from 4 different people, feeling like this between 4-6mo

While I haven't experienced the "nuked from orbit" I have noticed it's been dropping off a bit the last few weeks.

I guess I'll just invest in a good vibrator! I don't know if I could handle horny crying :(

To me it's the fact they all look like children trying to feel like big boys in their dad's too-large clothes (which is fitting (pun intended) since at least those medals are inherited, not for things they themselves have done)

Never apologize for wanting to accomplish a personal goal, and never apologize for asking for help.

I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you, but I'm sure you look great with what you can do, and I'm sure you'll get to where you like what you see! (I also thought this post would be about Linux lol)

Thanks, I hate how the records are stacked on top of each other.

I only have a few records I care about, but I'm still paranoid about dust and scratches.

People talking to you is only one part of the issue.

This is like saying "if your engine blew up, just don't put it in 3rd gear, just keep driving!"

You and me both I guess. the last two panels make it seem like you have to wait for something... Just enjoy the jam year round?
