Comics 873 and 874: A Journey Into The Past
Any one of these people could be a woman, and I've been KILLING them. And--oh God--what if one of them was MEGAN???????
Thinking about the possibility that he might be doing violence to women sapped all joy from the game. But of course, the popular internet blog "xkcd is frequently less than ideal and we would like it to be better" often calls him out for his white knighting. Of course! If you were forced to remember that people are human, and have real stories and quirks, you would hate playing FPS games! Mindless violence is terrible! Especially against women!!! I'M SORRY, MEGAN!!!!!!
874. I admit I have a seething disdain for people who obsess over "life hacks" like this. Far too many people I've known focus on these things. I used to hang out with people who name-dropped things like "inbox zero" and talked about how they managed their productivity all the time, and it was utterly loathsome.
So on some level I can get behind the sentiment here--these people are terrible and need to be mocked. But, as with most of Randall's satires, it doesn't mock, it merely presents something he thinks is ridiculous. "What if those productivity people just fuck around all day? LOLOLOLOL"
Not funny, Randy. I realize you're incapable of developing characters or offering insightful commentary, but could you at least make an effort?
EDIT: Oh yeah, here is a fellow who is posting webcites of new XKCDs as they come up, so we can preserve his errors forever: http://xkcdwebcited.blogspot.com/

I'm tired of all this hate directed at vegetarians! Just because you think it's "stupid" to be a vegetarian doesn't mean you have to rip on a comic that's written by a vegetarian! Maybe if you didn't constantly stuff corpses into your mouth people wouldn't make fun of you for being overweight, did you ever think of that? Vegetarianism is a healthy lifestyle!ReplyDelete

He also makes shit comics frequently. More frequently, in fact, than he makes good comics. So your crap about 'being stuck in your stubborn ways' cut both ways, considering that most XKCD followers are really just fans of habit by now.

there is like one anonymous post that says the newest comic is funny
but yeah i guess that is a representative sample of the site and that "people" here have said they like the newest comic
if your trolling were slightly less obvious you could probably coax me into more of an argument but your showed your hand a little too early with the racism thing
so uh xkcd still sucks nobody here is forsaking the intent of this site on the basis of one mediocre comic and i wish you luck in your future trolling endeavors

In 875, the joke is that a guy doesn't understand the common phrase " called".
In 102, the joke is that a guy built a time machine and went back in time correcting only minor things important to himself and not to his female friend whose father died.
The punchline is the same, or at least the same category, but the setup is different.
I like 875's version of it better. Both a good idea and well executed. 102 took a little while to setup for the same payoff. But that's the first decent criticism I've seen for it.
Just gonna wait here while Rob hamfistedly shoehorns another fanfic, since he usually does shit reviews when it's a good or meh comic.

Abdel, please define troll for me. This is a site dedicated to hating on xkcd.ReplyDelete
Under the conventional definition of troll, posting hateful comments on a hate blog is not trolling. Posting worshipful comments about xkcd here could be considered trolling (just as posting hateful comments on the xkcd forums could also be trolling).
Abdel, do you have some weird new definition of trolling, or are you just stupid?
- AnonymousMarch 21, 2011 at 7:45 AM
Hmkay, so I didn't see the newest comic when I posted my last comic. As it turns out it actually is a funny comic...ReplyDelete
...after 50 unfunny ones. Abdel, stop trying to convince yourself that Randall "makes good comics frequently". Once a year is not "frequently".
Back to talking about the comic: yes, it is funny. I actually laughed. It's shoddily drawn, but I guess asking for decent art is too much already. Let's stick with a good joke for starters.
Now, if Randall can actually manage to keep a good streak for a week, then I can start having hope for xkcd. For now, I think this is xkcd's swan song. The last remnants of humor before it gets back to devolving into an unstoppable shitstorm.
- AnonymousMarch 21, 2011 at 7:58 AM
It can't have been written by Randall.ReplyDelete
The people talk as though they are people, and that's simply not dialogue Randall has ever written in his lifetime.
He overheard it at a party. That someone on IRC told him about. Who in turn heard it from their flatmate's brother. That many degrees of seperation is plausible because of how good the comeback is.

Yea, Abdel, that's why I only replied to your comment hours later: because I waste all my time in xkcdsucks. You loser need to get a brain and start thinking.
Anon7:42, I believe Abdel is conforming to the modern definition of a troll, i.e., someone who disagrees with you. It's really sad that, just like irony, almost nobody seems to know what a troll is supposed to be.
CAPTCHA: munre. Wait, what?
The new comic was funny. I liked it. Yes, it may be a repeat of 102, but it's an improvement. The pacing is better, the current events are current, and the art aspect contributes to the joke, rather than just being pictures slapped onto a script. I'm impressed.ReplyDelete

So, where do I start... I don't like talking about myself, but I'll let you know that I'm a single multi millionaire, a scholar in Islam, and I'm tall, and strong, and funny, and smart, aaaaaaand...... just kidding! :D
Haha, disappointed? Sorry, I'm not really the muslim version of Brad Pitt you were expecting to find :o). I'm more like some kind of muslim boy next door. Of course, it depends on where your door is.... mine is in Morocco!
Now, I don't think it's appropriate to say how smart and nice and whatever quality I may have. Instead, I'll tell you what I like and what I don't like and some facts.
I like : cinema, travelling, ancient history, technology, bicycle riding, ecology, science, international politics, and reading in general.
I don't like: onions.
What I'm doing with my life: I'm working in the IT field, while trying to get a master's degree in computer science.
Flaws: My knowledge of Islam is not as it should be for a muslim my age, but I'm working on really hard. Also, I can't read classical arabic as you could expect me to! I speak french mostly, and moroccan arabic, but I don't think that will do you any good.
From a religious point of view, I am a muslim of course, but not one of those angry fundamentalists. I am very open to discussions, I do my best to keep an open mind on most issues. It is very important to me that you be the same. I'm also interested in other religions/philosphies...not that I plan changing religion...but I think it's very important to have a broad view on these things.
You can have a pretty good idea about my personnality if you know about MBTI psychological categories.
Now, who wants to be my submissive wife? :D

KITTANNING — A ruptured major vein in the stomach killed a 39-year-old Butler County man injured during a weekend fight in the borough, authorities said.
Investigators, meanwhile, are seeking witnesses who were present at the early Sunday morning fight on Montieth Street that ended in the death of James P. Sullivan of Donegal Township.
"We know there were a significant number of people there and they may have may have seen what happened," said Armstrong County District Attorney Scott Andreassi. "We'd like to talk to them."
State police have already interviewed 10 or so people who were present about 1:35 a.m. when Sullivan and another man got into a physical altercation.
"But we think there are more people with more information," Andreassi said.
Police believe they have identified the other man who fought with Sullivan but would not disclose his name.

In all measurements conducted by Medicare, Consumer Reports and the Joint Commission, Phelps County Regional Medical Center either meets expectations or beats national averages.
In all measurements conducted by Medicare, Consumer Reports and the Joint Commission, Phelps County Regional Medical Center either meets expectations or beats national averages.
Reviewing 2012 data on heart attacks, heart failures, pneumonia and surgical site infections, Linde Merrow, PCRMC administrative director of clinical quality and measurement, told the Board of Trustees that the hospital ranked in the top 10 percent of hospitals.
"There's no place safer to go to the hospital (than PCRMC)," board President Dr. John T. Park said following Merrow's presentation, and he thanked all hospital employees for their work in assuring the local hospital's performance was better than most others.
Merrow also reported the Joint Commission inspected the hospital and asked for additional information. She submitted that information March 15 and is waiting to hear back from the Joint Commission.
"It was a very good survey," she said of the Joint Commission's inspection of the hospital.
In other action or discussion:
Chief Financial Officer Ed Clayton presented the financial report in the Finance Committee meeting. The committee recommended approval of the report by the board, which later approved it.
Clayton said February's numbers were down from January's figures.
Average daily census in February was 236, and 256 had been budgeted.
Income from operations was flat, but thanks to non-operating revenue of $594,000, the hospital ended the month with $600,000 in net income.
In other financial reporting, Clayton noted the debt-to-equity ratio puts the hospital "in a great position to borrow, and it's the right time to borrow." He added that such a move would depend on what the borrowing would be meant to finance.
The Finance Committee recommended, and the board later approved, that the hospital transfer its banking relationship from Bank of America, which no longer has a presence in Rolla, to US Bank, which does.
Clayton said requests for proposal had been sent out and the best proposals came from US Bank and Regions Bank, which also has a local facility. Representatives of both banks met with hospital officials.
"The difference (between the two banks) is like that," Clayton said, holding his thumb and forefinger slightly apart.
US Bank had a slight edge in several criteria, he said, adding that US Bank sent local representatives to meet with hospital officials while Regions Bank sent St. Louis representatives.
Reporting on the effects of the federal "sequestration," Clayton said there will likely be a 2 percent cut in Medicare reimbursements to the hospital. That will take effect April 1, so the effect for the remainder of the year will be a loss of revenue amounting to $1.56 million.
Dr. Jeff Holen spoke to the board on behalf of Schumacher Group, the emergency medical service that will begin providing physician staffing in the Emergency Department beginning April 1. Dr. Holen, from Colorado, said the company is headquartered in Lafayette, La., and has contacts with hospitals in 23 states. In Missouri, Schumacher Group is in 16 emergency departments.
The 20-year-old company is owned by physicians, so it has "stakeholders, not stockholders," Dr. Holden said, and that makes a difference in the care offered.
Once Schumacher begins providing service, emergency department patients will receive two bills for service, one from the hospital and one from Schumacher Group.

JACKSON TWP — A second cryogenic natural gas processing plant will be built in the shadow of the first one on Hartmann Road.
The Bluestone II Gas Processing Plant was approved Thursday night by the township supervisors.
The new facility, which is slightly bigger than its sister plant at about 80,000 square feet, will be built just east of the existing facility on 30 acres of former farmland.
Jim Lopresti, township engineer, said at the supervisors' meeting that it will be several months before construction could begin. The company still needs to get state permit approvals.
Company officials hope to have the plant completed by the fourth quarter of this year.
The first Bluestone Plant was built across from the Seneca Landfill and about a mile from the Seneca Valley School District's campus for its secondary schools.
That plant went fully operational last summer.
The company is leasing the property from Vogel Disposal Services of Mars, which also owns and operates the Seneca Landfill.
This would be the third cryogenic natural gas processing plant in Butler County and operated by MarkWest Energy Partners, based in Denver.

When I woke up this morning it was dark and raining. Oh no . I don't have many rules for my yarnbombing being a lawless yarnbomber but I have always followed one law. I don't yarnbomb in the rain . But I had 8 felt hearts to put up by tomorrow – Valentine's Day .
I lay in bed , my mind all wired up with questions. Where should I put the hearts? Would I be freezing cold ? Would security guards get me ? Would people swipe my hearts as fast as I could put them up ? Would my car start ? Why do I always think up these insane schemes ?'
This is just for fun ' I told myself . That didn't work .
"This is just street art ' Still very anxious.
'Put the hearts in easy favorite places ' That was kind of relieving .
My sweetie came in the bedroom and got in bed with his coffee.
' I'm worried about how much you have to do today and I want to offer my help .' he said .
'Will you drive me all over Berkeley while I yarnbomb ? ' I asked .
' I knew you were going to say that . ' he said .
I had already put up 3 hearts last Friday . These are the hearts in these pictures we are looking at . I wanted to do a trial run to see if the hearts would be left up or taken down . My plan was to put them all up on chain link fences. Most chain link fences are private property . In the past I had only persecuted city poles and bike racks with my yarnbombing – not private property . This series was a little pushier.
When I yarnbomb I want to be able to take the work down but I want it to be sufficiently annoying to take down that every thing won't get swiped. Not that many people would want a strip of knitting but more people might want a heart. I had started by using fishing line but had switched to wire .I really liked how wire looked with the felt so that was a sign that it was the right way to go .
I packed up my wirecutters and pliers , my spool of 24 gauge wire , my tapestry needle , my camera and it's little felt case and my heavy roll of felt hearts . Little did I know the dogs , security guards and meter maid that waited in my future . { To be continued }
A good picture of a heart on A blog here – What I Saw in Berkeley Today
