If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.

Works better if you're a tortoise.

Unfortunately it doesn't work so well if the person you're waiting on is a tortoise. God damn Mitch McConnell is gonna out live us all.

Edit: Well I'll be damned, he stepped down less than 24 hours after this message.

Wow that really stings because it's true. I don't think I forgive people, but I do scan the obits to see if they're dead yet. Then I yell, "Look who's still standing, bitch!" And then I feel good because I'm a selfish prick anyway - and I'm all about forgiving myself for that.

Thanks! Although I already self congratulated myself for being me. I'm me! And that's truly amazing to me.

I've outlived three nemesis. Nemisi? It doesn't make me less mad, it just reminds me that we'll never repair that relationship.

That's why Master Oogway was so enlightened.

I came to learn one of my biggest highschool bullies (was known as one to several people) killed himself around a decade ago. By this point, that part of my life was the distant past. I didn't feel good, nor did I feel bad. I just kind of shrugged.

A few years after I finished college one of the dudes who made my life hell all through school started some shit and got himself stabbed to death. I'd be lying if I said I don't get a little burst of happiness every time I remember that motherfucker isn't part of this world anymore.

Does'nt work as well when you're mad at yourself though...

I'm reminded of the original #RIPBOZO guy.

Now I need one version where they are switched at the end and he stopped being mad because he died.

Works on some thing.... other's... it just takes too long for the older generation to not vote against improving things. Slowly getting there. Maybe.

Reminds me of this (video) masterpiece by C&H.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Oh no. This is a really good comic but I'm going to turn it into such an abomination of a shitpost. If the artist sees this im sorry. Hopefully you understand this is just what happens on the internet.
