I mean isn’t the thing about the Fediverse that if your host instance gets entrenched in enshittification or financial ruin then you can just leapfrog from instance to instance and have all of your old posts still online and the content and userbase of one community can be migrated to another community on another server?

The explanation page doesn’t have anything yet, but this feels like it has references to the Futurama episodes “The Late Philip J. Fry” and “Lethal Inspection”, with just a hint of Slartibartfast from The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

[EDIT: After making this comment, I noticed that those two Futurama episodes happen to be back-to-back with each other. xkcd must be in the middle of watching the series]

Being a King Crimson fan really took me out of this episode

Maybe they got to the dump and there was a big sign and chain across the dump saying “Closed on Thanksgiving” and they had never heard of a dump closed on Thanksgiving before and with tears in their eyes they drove off into the sunset looking for another place to put the garbage. They didn’t find one. ‘Til they came to a side road and off the side of the side road there was another fifteen foot cliff and at the bottom of the cliff was another pile of garbage. And they decided that one big pile is better than two little piles and rather than bring that one up they decided to throw theirs down.

Those are no longer considered canon, nor are they in the medium of a movie or show

Let’s get the Orb of Confusion effect played on the sphere

Refer to the first sentence of my comment.

That’s a good one! Would have fit well for the recent Tales of the Underworld short series.

There was a brief deleted scene of Luke putting the finishing touches on the saber (canon?), but there still would be questions left with what we know now of the need for kyber crystals and each design’s connection to their constructor.

Those don’t take place during the same time period. Andor is set during the construction of the Death Star 1. The “many Bothans” line involves the plans for the Death Star 2, which was 4 years after Rogue One and A New Hope.

That is shown and is an important part of the movie

Are you saying you think it’s ok to give a platform to content explicitly promoting genocide and Nazism so long as it has a beat?

Somebody posted this exact same comic to this community just prior. I don’t think your title is a reference to a small edit that I’m missing? In any case, it might be best for everyone to glance through New on a community before posting non-OC.

Virtually every sentient life experiences a non-zero amount of suffering. Progeny that doesn’t exist categorically doesn’t suffer; progeny that does exist is virtually certain to suffer to some degree. The hedonist argument that progeny may get to experience some joy falls apart because progeny that doesn’t exist categorically doesn’t experience any lack of joy (i.e. that would-be joy is not mourned by that which does not exist).

Ensuring the certainty of the sum total of suffering in another person’s life just for one’s own self-fulfillment is incredibly selfish. Procreation is a cycle of blithe selfishness that perpetuates universal suffering and is at best wrought by apathy for others’ suffering and at worst wrought by enthusiasm for others’ suffering.

I’m anti-kid because I didn’t consent to the sentience that I have experienced and I have the empathy to want others not to suffer.

If reincarnation were real, I’d hope that people who think the meaning of life entails procreation end up getting stuck as mayflies forever

I wonder how somebody can completely miss their own message like this. Or maybe somebody made an original image and then a techbro made this AI slop as a duplicate to spite them.

Somebody should really report these MAGA people for their anti-Christian biases

I would think the underground ones that host content which is horribly abusive and illegal (in ways beyond merely piracy)

El Salvador and Libya are definitely the easiest
