  • Question, do these bodies have teeth? And if so would these teeth exist without the EU?

    My understanding of the EU is that the only thing they can really do to coerce uncooperative members is threaten to revoke membership.

    So, if these bodies are not EU, and it wants to impose a sanction against a member nation, by what mechanism can it enforce that?

    Just wondering.

    I was 21 in 2008, and I’d been a fan of Ctrl Alt Del since near it’s beginning. I was a huge web comic fan in general, and I got intensely emotionally invested in them, even the silly ones.

    This strip hit me exactly as he intended it to. It resonated with me I guess because of my brother and sister in law going through a miscarriage shortly before. Either way, it had a powerful impact on me and I didn’t see this “tonal shift” as a problem. That’s kinda dumb if you ask me, lots and lots of comedies have serious moments.

    Anyway, I didn’t know this meme until a few years ago and it always makes me sad. It’s dumb, I know.

    I’m super sensitive to negativity, which is why I was always a lurker in reddit, I always got shat on whenever I shared anything, to the point that I’d just delete my account and hide from the internet for a while.



  • People write work emails differently, but I write more like the “don’t” list than the “boss” list in most situations. I also rarely put much thought into it unless it’s an extremely delicate situation. The only problem I have with this post is it’s presumption that your way is the boss way and the other way is somehow inferior.
