Doesn't taskkill /force also do so for the most part? Except maybe a system protected service or something. Haven't tried it on those.

In IT, and have been since 99. I cared more about porn(adware, viruses, etc used to be more frequent on them) than other groups I expected to caresometimes. A regional managers laptop was acting slow, so sent back to us. During cleanup I found porn among other issues, and reported it to their manager. The response was basically:

"How much longer before you can return the laptop to them?" They just wanted em up and running again. Now at an MSP, and we've found porn on fileservers, often time by the owners of the company.

As others mentioned, it does look kinda ridiculous in person. Driving home Sunday with my sister we saw one, pointed and both laughed/chuckled to each other. I wasn't looking at the driver so dunno if they noticed, but if they were looking at our faces as we passed they might have been able to notice, and it was just a natural reaction, not meant to have the owner notice in an effort to mock or anything.

Nah, you see stuff like this because it's counter to a lot of people. Noisy wheel etc. I like socializing with friends, but also have a limited social battery. Geberally that just means I don't attend things I don't want to, but there have been times where circumstance has put me in situations that I could identify with the comic.

Still, a comic that's just a straight portrayal of people enjoying normal stuff isn't going to get much traction or be interesting, which is why you'll see stuff like this more. It isn't a representative of the actual whole sample of people here, it's just the more unique post that will get attention from people who don't feel as noticed or understood in their real life.

Some people mentioned there are some additional features locked behind the specific mount this comic is lambasting. Something about AH and mailbox. I haven't played WoW so not sure how much of an advantage that is, but the closest FFXIV analogue imo is the extra retainers.

You only have 2 by default and pay an additional $2 a month for any extra. They allow you to basically bot farm some items every 30m to an hour(depends on how below your retainers level the target is) as well as more storage and selling capacity. Nothing is explicitly gated by it, but those who spend the money have a higher capability to earn in game money and/or have greater convenience if they use it properly.

For those of us who have had extra retainers for years, it's cost us way more than $90, but it's not a single huge purchase so can definitely seem like less in your head if you don't take that one small step of reasoning.

That is indeed the joke.

I recommend the Behind the Bastards episode on him. He had a ton of opportunities available to him normal people don't, including ones that aren't strictly financial. For instance, he was allowed to ignore most of his other subjects in high school to concentrate on computer stuff. As a person who had similar interests in computers and sometimes not an interest in some other classes, that's a huge advantage.

While I didn't have too hard a time in school (only needed 2 classes to pass my final year), being able to concentrate on just computers(which were my electives) would have been far less stressful and would have allowed more concentration. That's just one of many intangible benefits.

Joe was also on Alex Jones show for 9/11, so they've known each other for a pretty long time. Just back then Joe was just a buddy and not someone he could take that much advantage of. In addition, Joe pushed back more back then, but was still somewhat problematic anyway.

I saw... killing joke? Whatever movie was made off of that. The Batman Batgirl Makeout was completely unnecessary and more than a bit disturbing.

Tucker said as much at one of his events, in regards to hating trans people. He talked about how it was easier to just agree if people accuse him of it and double down.

Most comedies have someone funny to watch, but not if they actually existed and affected your life. Don't get me wrong, I love Bender, but RL Bender as a friend would be full no contact from me.

Mind you, that was only American artwork. Original Japanese:
