  • I’ve got to be honest… I’m not getting that same tingle. I’ve seen only one other of these comics and that also portrays jesus and god as separate “characters”, but even with that set aside, what would the joke of this comic be if the intended joke is that god and Jesus are the same? The punchline, to me, is that nobody thanks “jesus”, always thanking “god” instead, and jesus is unhappy about that and feels unappreciated.

    The sign saying “Yahweh” might mean that when people thank “god” that counts as a catchall for Yahweh and jesus, but it’s actually Jesus who does all the work out of those two anyway? But I just feel like that’s a muddier joke than “god named, Jesus not named” which is simple. Maybe I’m simple. I might be stupid. I’m totally up for being wrong here.





  • Re the meme: We don’t have to thank Paul for anything; it was Anthony Joshua who delivered what has to be a very short happiness to a lot of people on the internet.

    I say it has to be very short, because we have to make it very short. Paul doesn’t care about getting beaten up, he cares about money. He monetises being disliked, because he’s untalented, uncreative, and lazy. For those reasons, we must starve him of attention.






  • Hey, I totally agree with you.

    The concept behind these apps is fine, even helpful. I’ve used these types of apps when I’ve been unwell and couldn’t get to the shops. I’m not forgetting people who are disabled. I don’t own a car.

    I agree, an app that provided a similar service that took care of its employees would be fine. An app that provided a similar service without jacking the prices up massively and pushing junk food would be great.

    I know and agree with you that the poor treatment and underpayment of workers is a problem.

    Yes, of course your alternative app would be worth supporting.

    We do not seem to be in any disagreement here.



  • Are you familiar with the clip of that person saying like, “Well Mr Trump, if you deport all the Mexicans, who will clean your toilets?”

    I’m only asking cos this feels like the same situation. I think you’re pointing at a wider problem which is legit, but the way you’re expressing it is really hamfisted.



  • While I think these apps are exploitative on both sides (exploiting laziness/convenience and exploiting workers), I think implying that people who use delivery services are racist, classist, or both, is a very “internet” thing to do.

    Perhaps it would be healthy if OP went outside for Christmas. A little walk in the real world, as opposed to Lemmy or Twitter or Bluesky, might help rebalance things.
