I have gotten cynical to the point of assuming the "endgame" here is properly kicking off WW3, so that Trump gets an excuse to drop a nuke or two on an adversary.
"The last time we had a world war, we won it! We were the best - and we won it with our nukes, our big beautiful nukes - it's really a shame we haven't used them since, don't you think? We ended the war by dropping 2 on Japan, and now Japan is our best friend. Why don't we drop some nukes on Iran? Don't we want them to be our friend?"
Agreed on this comic and in general, but Ship To Ship seems to me to acknowledge sexual orientation in their world is similar-ish to ours, right down to the petty antagonisms between "incompatible" orientations. If anything, I'd say the Oglaf world does "everyone is some flavor/degree of bisexual". There certainly doesn't seem to be any bigotry over orientations.
If this turns out to be a measurable and reproducible effect for most humans, online gambling and video game loot boxes just became a while lot scarier in my mind.
I love when Oglaf does lesbians making fun of hetero men (and/or hetero sex), they always know how to keep the jokes silly and not double down on "gays vs straights" tribalism.

More seriously, I'm pleased to see I'm not the only person who views this as a terrible loss.
The 3 stooges-style robber confrontation and the death of caesar feel like a very young child's recreation of a story they overheard from adults; very little basis in reality and full of nonsensical assumptions. Or like when a kid is trying to write a story and they come up with "Space Wars: The Fellowship of the Lightsaber, part 2: the Klingon Horcruxes".
It's cute when a kid does it, it's hilarious when an adult does it intentionally. This is just sad.
I suspect there is wisdom to be learned from forest management, specifically how regular, small controlled burns are how you avoid huge, unmanageable forest fires.
It's probably not what you're imagining, but there is the lemmynsfw instance which is a Lemmy instance that is more or less explicitly for porn.
But there is one other, probably even more important advantage: Prolog is a programmer's and software engineer's dream. It is compact, highly readable, and arguably the "most structured" language of them all. Not only has it done away with virtually all control flow statements, but even explicit variable assignment too! These virtues are certainly reason enough to base not only systems but textbooks on this language.
The 90s certainly were a different time...
Not enough burritos available near me, but I've certainly been through the exact same experience with cheese naan kebab in front of the computer.
