Don’t feel bad, fam. As far as haters go, these are pretty mild.

No use crying over spilt milk.

kek this comment was funnier than the strip itself.

That’s not a true statement. It’s barely coherent. But it’s kinda got a kind of surreal charm to it… like with a bit of work you could turn it into a great science fiction story or a thought experiment.

Put it on the menu!

It’s a little more complicated than that obviously. If you want the details once you get out of the shower, you can start here: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/scientific-method/

Yeah I read it that way too. Like his kid is perfect just the way they are… and his mom is perfect just the way she is too.

Awesome! I’ma start a death metal band and put celery and brussel sprouts on the album covers.

• Track 1: “I will Eat your Artichoke!”
• Track 2: “Your Chopped Broccoli Falling on the Floor”
• Track 3: “Sliced Cucumber”
• etc

here you go:

Lemmy is like a cafe, not like a stadium.

Dad’s rockin the socratic method.

Overton window for devils.

“Sure, you could meet people the old-fashioned way by going outside, but that feels like a lot of work. So instead you navigate this bleak dystopian hellscape sifting through the dregs of humanity through your smartphone while each day brings you closer to the cold hard hands of death.”

There it is. Their chatbots need more training data and reinforcement feedback.

Fam if you need to use reddit don’t feel bad about it. “The trick is not to ignore the mainstream, but to selectively raid it for things we can use.” -M. Gunderloy

There are a couple abilities involved:

• knowing something
• modeling a learner: understanding someone else’s current level of knowledge and the nature of their lack of knowledge such as misconceptions.
• instruction skill: having the ability to remedy the learner’s misconceptions and build upon their existing knowledge to transmit the knowledge/skill

The last two are nontrivial. You ever told someone the answer to something and they just didn’t get it? Even though it was stunningly obvious to you? The last two are why.

Anyway, to your point: a lot of times the best action is just to point someone in the right direction.

ikr sounds like that thing where Socrates’ wisdom was realizing that he was not wise.

Socrates then sought to solve the divine paradox—how an ignorant man also could be the wisest of all men—in effort to illuminate the meaning of the Oracles’ categorical statement that he is the wisest man in the land. After systematically interrogating the politicians, the poets, and the craftsmen, Socrates determined that the politicians were not wise like he was. He says of himself, in reference to a politician: “I am wiser than this man; it is likely that neither of us knows anything worthwhile, but he thinks he knows something when he does not.”(21d).[15] Socrates says that the poets did not understand their poetry; that the prophets and seers did not understand what they said; and that the craftsmen while knowing many things, thought they also had much knowledge on things of which they had none.

Wat? So the pizzacake artist didn’t do this? TO HELL WITH HER! no, wait, I think I saw an anti-Trump comic from her elsewhere… unless that was also an edit? How are we supposed to tell? Fam, the post-truth era is so fucking complicated. I have seen the best memes of my generation changed from TIFUs into greentexts dragged hilarously edited through the modlog screens at dawn…

I too bear a grudge against the pizzacake artist, for backing Reddit during the API protests. But it’s one of those “find allies wherever you can” sorta situations.
