I miss UIs having lines and clear separations between elements. I loath this new flat style that everything has to have now, where you can't tell when one thing stops and another starts.

Ahhh yes, the new Secretary of Pedophilia.

She sounds awesome. Do you know if she's seeing anyone, in like a serious way?

Maybe the real lesson is that a mangled hand actively gushing blood isn't really a great analogy for depression.

If the comic suggested that he sought help in the past and it wasn't working, it would be a much better analogy. Unfortunately, we only know what's actually shown.

The victim isn't at fault for being depressed, or having a mangled hand, or whatever analogy we want to use. However, if they go out with friends and expect them to take the problem more seriously than they, themselves, are taking it, then they have some measure of fault for imposing their problem on the friend. If they are seeking treatment that just isn't working, or they are unable to get proper treatment for other reasons, that's a different story and I'll have a lot more sympathy.

It all boils down to not expecting someone to take your problem seriously for long if you are not taking it seriously yourself.

The others would probably take his problem a lot more seriously if he had at least tried to get it fixed. If you are going to walk around with a mangled blood gushing hand for a prolonged period of time, without seeking help, then you should probably stop whining about it, because I can't do anything for you. I can't force you to go to a doctor.

The metaphor would work a lot better if one of the people he's talking to was a doctor that ignored the problem with his hand.

Dude should maybe consider seeing a doctor about his "hand".

I'm familiar with WYSIWYG but I've never heard of WUSSYWAGON.

I can't really see 2 egos of that size coexisting. I'm terrified of being wrong about that in this case though

If the door can't be opened easily in a panicked life or death situation, it's a design flaw and needs to be recalled and fixed.

He's our new 4 month old Cornish Rex, and he might just be the cutest thing ever.
