    It gives me something to do each day. Today I will install 600 square feet of flooring I will never see again, cook a dinner that I will never taste again, get I to arguments with strangers on the internet who are the poster child for Dunning Kruger, spend some time with my wife who has spent most of this week doing TNR on cats that I would have done myself but was too busy working to handle, and I will take 5 minutes out of my life to edit Heathcliff into or out of a comic because it’s something to do that harms no one and offers a slightly shifted perspective on a surreal comic strip.

    So tell us about your fascination with wanting to have strangers psychoanalyzed? When did this start? Did you get a lot of psychoanalysis as a kid? Are you one of those people that the moment someone calls you out on something you shout “Don’t psychoanalyze me!” which I rank right up there with “I’m not afraid to go back to jail” and “Why isn’t there a white pride month?” as a phrase that tells me a lot more about a person than they intended. What does your comment do for you? WHY?

      I love this so much. You are a brilliant human being, descriptive insightful explanation. So you claim that these heathcliff comic edits “offer a slightly shifted perspective on a surreal comic strip,” and I just don’t see it, which of course doesn’t mean that it isn’t there, just that I don’t see it. So carry on! 😄♥️

      I work a job that doesn’t pay me enough to be able to do anything enjoyable in my off time, so in my off time vaguely depressed and angsty, all I can do is stare at my phone and engage in this cost-free hobby of mine, reading things on the internet and commenting on them. That’s MY psychoanalysis.

        The pinned post is three months old. So you just be sorting in a very nonstandard way. Another post in the last day for more than 300 points. That’s not the sign of a harmed group.

        Lemmy needs content, not complainers. Post the content you want to see. Downvote content you don’t want to see. The posts harm nothing. Thinking you have the power to tell people to not post is pure self-centeredness.

        If you don’t want to see them then block me. If you want to hate read them and downvote that’s fine too.
