Yeah the Oatmeal gives me that feeling a lot. I unsubscribed when he did that extremely long ārunning is the only acceptable form of exerciseā comic.
Wait, are we talking about the same Oatmeal/Matthew Inman who, when criticized about the fact his Tesla comic was 99% absurd fiction, copied one of the articles pointing it out to his site and added a bunch of petulant, pedantic, and indignant hand-written annotations to try and weasel out of any criticism? And who, after his comic about how athiest extremists donāt exist was criticized, made a comic basically in the classic āmoron opponent versus smart le rational athiestā style?
Yeah that one <is it 15 characters now? is it? IS IT?>
EDIT: I re-read that Tesla retort, and holy shit itās clear which of them is a journalist and which is a man-child with a web comic.
The new camera suite in Elite dangerous has led to some next-level screwing around:
I agree with all of that - I just think itās funny that it comes from someone who so publicly embodied the exact thing that heās trying to encourage against. And kinda continues to, in an odd way - itās not like heās reverted on or taken down his petulant responses to criticism.

I read The Oatmeal when someone sends me a particularly good comic, but that is it. I know almost nothing of the creator other than that he runs and might have a dog.
[/quote]I used to, but got bored of it pretty fast - itās 99% just the same shouted-non-sequiter-naughty-word psuedo-joke, and the remaining 1% is bland infographic-style comics about things that are popular right now.
The only reason I know about the Tesla thing is because it comes up semi-regularly on Reddit during Tesla wank-fests, since most of Redditās knowlege about Tesla and Edison comes from that comic.
I only really know three other things about him: that he makes his comics with a combination of Adobe Fireworks(for reasons I canāt discern) and illustrator, and that heās allegedly a serial plagiarist, and that pretty much every other comic artist Iāve met(and many I havenāt) absolutely fucking hates the dude and refuses to work with him.
Jesus christ heās got the weirdest looking head, itās like a high school art project.
I dunno we were lower middle class growing up and didnāt have steaks more than once in a year or 2 years but my parents could and still can do wonders with lesser cuts of meat.
Honestly Iād rather have a lamb biryani thatās makes use of the less sought after cuts of meat from the neck than just have a steak. The latter is all completely based on the quality of the cut and is more an enjoyment of texture while the former does the same thing for less money, you get more food and a far more complex taste. However thatās likely how I was brought up, I donāt think I could relate to most people in my perspective considering bother parents are formally trained in cooking.
He is called Brock Lobster for a reason
Damn, that āIād fuck a dragonā shirt is tempting. Is there a recording of the stream up somewhere? I canāt find one.
EDIT: Nevermind, found it hidden after some Hitman
Honest to god, I donāt know if Iād have that guy come in for an interview if I was looking for a coder. On the one hand, youāre sending in a resumeā, take it seriously. On the other hand, Youāve gotta be pretty fucking confident in your ability to send in a resume that looks like that.
As my brother says he has a head like a thumb.
For those of you who stream often might want to look at this.
