Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The graph is meaningless.
The axes have no label.
Your years of research are wasted.
They know, but can't be bothered to teach us

The more I know about something the less I'm willing to tollerate your shit if you want to argue about it.
I work in an industry that undoubtably touches all of your lives and sometimes people ask "Why?" Questions about it, and I'd offer an explanation based on 15 years of industry experience and then people would argue thats not how it works, or rant at me like I'm the CEO of an entire global industry and generally annoy me to the point where I'm not even going to tell you what industry because I dont want to argue with another single chucklefuck who has a problem with how they do it for you.
Defense ?
Yep. People ask me to do stuff for them and I quote them $100 to just show up, and then $100/hr after that. They hate it.
Healthcare
Nope.
Then it's dildo mass production.
Imagine your first day at the dildo factory... LOL.
Imagine your 15 years service anniversary at the dildo factory... 😞
Energy production?
But I feel you. I work in a utilities company and, yeah, people are annoying.
I used to work in (not health) insurance and yeah. I understand why insurance does what it does, but it’s just dispassionate cruelty, so explaining it doesn’t make it better. I don’t think it could work significantly differently, so just letting people rant incorrectly about it is also frustrating.
Yes. I do not agree with the system, I also have no control over the system and only work within the system because I have to.
You want to know how the system works, or why certain things happen I can tell you. If you want to shout at me about how broken the system is, please fuck off because I live how broken it is every morning when I turn up to work.
teaching is not arguing though. it implies one party is willing to learn. otherwise you're just bothering people.
Not like me to give notes on a webcomic but ...wouldn't it be funnier if he did start explaining
Are you really questioning the comedy of a comic called ButtPoems?
…wouldn’t it be funnier if he did start explaining
Funnier yet would be if logarithmic curve right before the intersection of the linear curve was a projection. Then the following dialog in the frames following:
Researcher on the left: "Sure! See we're dealing with multiple forces and...."
awkward pause (frame with no dialog)
Interested person on the right: "Then what? Why did you stop explaining?"
Researcher on the left: "I just realized we just now hit the intersection of the curves."
Everyone's a critic, right?
No.
Paradoxical perhaps but I don't think people would get it as quickly.
For me my info dumping just gets longer, especially if someone is actually interested. At least until I info dump them.
