I don't know if this fits the bill but, for several years, I heard the story of a man who had been released from an asylum and spent all his time on the sidewalk of a large road pretending to be a tree, raising his hands and fingers as if they were branches and bushes and would wave them in case of wind (also imitating their noise). He was nicknamed after a specific type of tree I don't remember now

I've never met the guy, but it stuck with me since I heard the same story from various people who didn't know each other

Edit: grammar

Ooooh, now it makes sense! Thanks!!! I've been that guy several times, getting lost in my thoughts, so I see why everyone could relate to this strip!

Guys, I'm embarrassed but I got to ask: can someone explain how it should be understood?

No, I'm not making fun of it. I legitimately don't understand it and I would like to.

From the other comments I get it's something about video calls at home and maybe people yelling while on them? I'm confused because the guy walking on the horse is also relevant (perhaps in minding his business and being disturbed by others yelling)?

This game was really awesome! I spent so many hours playing online with whoever. It had several awesome arenas.

Now you make me want to play it again!

A strange but cool movie. It's not perfect, but it's got its moments

Once Upon a time when people watched more TV, there were tons of tele marketers selling crap of all sorts (weight loss supplements, mattresses, weight gear and whatnot) and I always rolled my eyes and switched channels.

Now influencers are their evolution and for some reason managed to escaped the stigma of being tele marketers because they make edited "cool" videos that also show some fun thing.

This is very annoying, but I'm not sure what can be done, besides trying to inform friends (which lately seems to have become impossible with the rise of fake news and the empowering feeling that people "are doing their own research")

I should go eat some fruit guys and you should too #somehashtagabouteatingthisorthatfood

(A) This strip is brilliant!

(B) I know it's unrelated, but it reminds me of the button that will be offered to someone who you don't know

When I look for things on Gmail on my laptop, I get detailed and complete results, when I do the same on the Gmail app, it seems like I get all results up to maybe two years ago (and it doesn't show the rest). This second thing is really annoying, but at least on the computer version I always get everything

I was very excited to get an invite shortly after it's opened and I still have all the emails that tell me my friend XYZ accepted my invitation to Gmail.

It was a time when getting a Gmail invitation wasn't trivial.

Here's a video recalling how exciting it was to have a Gmail.

Nowadays it's different and possibly less good, but searching in Gmail is still very easy, which is awesome

Wait a minute... Does the fact that this masterpiece has been on archive.org since December 2022 mean that the movie is in the public domain or that nobody noticed yet?

Anyhow, if you haven't seen it, do yourself a favor and go watch it, because it's beautiful, imaginative and awesomely acted!

It's currently late and I am on my phone, so I can't research this too well, but for example this thread and official Microsoft link discusses th Adrozek malware which injects you with unwanted ads and information directly from your browser.

Sure, it's not a virus in the older sense of the term where someone either burns your drive or takes over your computer and locks you out asking for a ransom, but it's still piloting you unsuspectingly and you don't want it.
