Ok we're done posting our friend and if you do again I'm going to smash you thanks!

The Saint revealed "That Which is Hidden" and the Believers who "knew" applauded. For they always knew but did not "know what they knew" until they were shown "what they want" (Jobs 4:20:69)

The coastal liberal elites persecuted The Saint because they knew he spoke The Truth. For they "knew" as did all.

I tend to enjoy XKCDs when they're relevant to whatever I happen to be learning at the moment. So like it was cool when they came up during college google sessions. The other time I enjoyed them was when I was living in a brain-drain town and it was so unusual to meet someone who knew unix or any programming language outside of work that you'd pretty much always become friends.

In the past decade I haven't learned poo poo but new ways to consume YAML and TOML files so it's been at least that long since I've enjoyed an XKCD :(

XKCD is mid, like Garfield, so I'm not surprised it makes money for the author, like Garfield.

there are half a dozen or so xkcd strips in wide circulation because they succinctly sum up some argument or situation that people, usually computer touchers or scientists, tend to encounter often.

those comics are ok, not exactly funny, but at least relatable and can say a lot in few words. if they're your only exposure to the comic, you probably have a much higher opinion of it than it deserves.

would a mod mind revealing who reported all of those disgusting images in this thread so that we can thank them?

mod transparency, especially for positive recognition of community minded individuals, seems like an obvious win in situations like these. you know what they say about democracy dying in the dark, sunshine being the best disinfectant, and so forth...

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
I dug into the xkcd extended universe and apparently Megan is his go to female everywoman and the wedding toast strip is cited as evidence of the author's unrequited love. Lol you nerds it's the Free Churro joke and literally the punchline

If you're looking for real psychosis, the D&D politoons thread banned Day By Day features the self insert author's hot redhead half Japanese wife who is explicitly patterned on a girl he knew from work thirty years ago who wouldn't give him the time of day. He's built a mind-palace existence with kids and everything.

Only advanced cerebral minds will get this one, otherwise known as the free churro trope.

If the audience gets it I won't seem maladapted and permanently obsessed with a specific woman irl, possibly to a level that in fact does negatively impact my day to day life, hers (and her spouse's), and our relationship.

They're definitely going to get the complex joke and I'm absolutely not misjudging this thing in any way.
