I know what I'm about.
the people who make Dustin think there's no reason anyone working a retail job should experience joy. They are being PAID to WORK and should always be 100% focused on that and never have off-topic conversations with their coworkers or goof around for 30 seconds.

Yeah, but if she doesn't put out the eggplant cow, he's never getting outta here!

...I actually looked up what the decoration was right when I started reading the first page bc I've seen it before in Animal Crossing but it wasn't explained, lmao.

In case you're the type of person who follows such things (and let's face it, you are), John Allison posted a digital copy of the Wen-Tack storyline for his Patreon supporters, along with a few comments. "I've said a few times here that I don't think this story was very good. I think it's the only story where someone has written to me while it was happening to say that they thought I'd lost my goose. I really had lost my goose though."

Anyway, another deeply stupid day, so another post that cuts off early.

That's from the Sunday storyline The Rat Must Die, which began October 8, 2017 if you're interested in looking it up. I'm thinking of rereading it because I think it was a good one and I don't remember much about it.

Vulture capitalists who buy up companies only to strip them and let them die (while paying themselves fat fees) are a serious problem. Newspapers getting consolidated and turned into content mills is a serious problem. Are we going to mention either of those, or will it just be Old Man Yells At Cloud? Take a guess.

Faking your own death isn't necessarily illegal in it self. Unless it's the furtherance of another crime like fraud or to avoid debts or jail/prison.

My company briefly made us all, employees and management alike, go through Leadership Workshops which were uncannily close to this in tone if not actual language. It was pretty obvious everyone considered it a colossal waste of time. I say briefly because after the first two weeks, they canned the whole endeavor without much comment. My manager was kind enough to tell me during our regular one-on-one status update calls that this was because basically everyone who took the course was bitter about it being such a useless mess. Of course, it wasn't canceled until after I had already done my two mandatory workshops. So in short, I feel pretty called out here.

My employer used to have an on-staff Talent Development Specialist who basically just... did this exclusively. There would be something like this about once a quarter.

I made a game out of turning every time we had to draw something on giant novelty paper pads into a loss edit somehow. I'm real good at spouting convincing bullshit and only one of my coworkers would recognize it, and she thought the training was mostly a waste of time and my drawings were funny.

You know, I used to feel dumb and bad in the fact I never moved away from my hometown, like a lot of people I know. I live in the same house I grew up in, I drive by my old high school once every few weeks or so, but never have I ever loving relived my past as the assholes in Funky do. It reminds me of the Smug episode of South Park, where the idiots get high off their own farts from how amazing they are. Bitch in Funky, you are, what, in your 60's? WHY THE gently caress do you think you can do cheerleading poo poo from when you were 50 years younger? And who the gently caress cares? No one in your town has ever left successfully unless they are Bad People, so realize you're in some Junji Ito nightmareverse already.

The whole story has painted the (mother?) as extremely abusive, like oh my loving god what an awful person

Nothing in this story makes me think the other lady has ever had the opportunity to not do this baton twirling thing despite it causing her apparently years of severe burns from trying to do a stunt

I think we're seeing another collision between FW the comedy strip it used to be and FW the serious drama Batiuk wants it to be now (see also: machine gun–wielding hall monitor). A baton twirler who constantly lights herself on fire is funny if it's meant as screwball slapstick, but it's horrifying if we're supposed to take it seriously.

There should be a Those Were the Days drinking game, where the rules are something like: if the "old days" premise is completely bogus ("remember back when everyone swoggled the hornpipe?!"), person A takes a drink. If the "but now, wow" premise is completely bogus ("now everyone swoggles the hornpipe!!"), person B takes a drink. If the whole exercise is just an excuse for Art Beeman to draw cheesecake, everyone takes a drink.
