Unless you're a republican from South Dakota, then you shoot the dog and dump it in a gravel pit and publicize it so others can be envious of how truly American you are.

You know you're fucked up when seeing things that are happy makes you sad and angry.

Yeah, the last three panels actually bug me (though for different reasons).

I think this lesson can be valuable but I also feel like it can be flippant to the point of implying everyone's situation is equally bad or good, which is very dismissive of those in truly bad positions in life.

especially since this comic includes a poor dude and it goes like "at least his dog is still alive", bruh

Judging what a bad position in life is is pretty subjective.

There are some we can probably all agree on as a bad position, but none of those portrayed here fit those.

Verging on toxic positivity.

I find this sad yet soothing song very fitting.

Comparison is the thief of joy

Nah that would be Bill, who stole my bottle of Joy when he house sat.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 3 months ago (2 children)

buy it in bulk my dude, just use any ol squeeze bottle. Those bottles of Joy are easy come easy go

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

Did you really buy these, thisbenzinggring, or should I call you by your real name, Bill?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Especially easy go when Bill’s over

Oh is there a im14andthisisdeep instance now?

You're in it!

What’s 14 about a such a common issue countless adults face?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

it's more of a saying I guess it has something to do with adolescence and hormone nonsense

like all this stuff https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/im-14-and-this-is-deep/photos

Ya I just don’t think this one applies given how pervasive this issue is in adulthood. It’s a good reminder for those of all ages on social media.

One of these is not like the others
