Have you considered becoming pirates and sailing away with the office building?

Only if we can continue to balance the books

And you... Put the kettle on!

Just yesterday I realized what makes both The Expanse and Sea of Thieves so awesome: the feeling that when you get back to the ship, you’re home. Ships are awesome because they’re rooms that move around.

A classic. No idea where this is from, but I think I remember seeing it maybe 20ish years ago. Maybe even before that. Any info on its origins?

This small, sixteen-page instructional pamphlet (2×5″) was produced and put inside the postage-paid, business-reply envelopes that come with junk mail offers. Every envelope collected from participants over the course of a year was stuffed with the pamphlet and mailed back to the company of origin. It is a practical anarchist’s guide for office workers to obtain Utopia.

And if that's not beautiful, i don't don't know what is.

I will always rember this captivating comic, but not the name of it or site where it lives.

I posted a TOMT to locate it, and u/Ion785 gave a link directly to it.

Packard Jennings has many other art pieces on his site.

A valid reaction 👍

this is cool and all, but may i suggest not lighting a building on fire while you (or any people) are still inside of it and the police is waiting outside

[-] ace_garp@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Sure, you shouldn't light a fire while you are still inside the same building, but I can assure you that I mused about enacting some of these panels, when doing IT work in tower blocks. It has it's ups and downs.

The proper response when told to enter an office building, full stop

I love this Chad over here with the pink socks, pipe, and hot friend a third his age!

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

The least beliavable thing of this comic is that the police didn't bust in, guns blazing. The second least believable is that the building owner didn't throw the Pinkertons at 'em
