“Is it a wolf I hear,
Howling his lonely communion
With the unpiloted stars,
Or merely the self importance and servitude
In the bark of a dog?
How many millenia did it take,
Twisting and torturing
The pride from the one
To make a tool,
The other?
And how do we measure the distance from spirit to spirit?
And who do we find to blame?”

> XKCD is pretentious bullcrap
Does anyone actually think this? It’s an ex rocket scientist making tech jokes. Since they’re so short, it’s not like they’re taking much time. I’ve probably spent more time on Ready Player One + /lit/ threads on it than XKCD.
t. read every comic, and the ones since 2014 within a week.

This image is tailor made to make you go "oh no that's me :(". It casts as wide a net over "sad 4chan" (art boards except /tv/, /r9k/, parts of /pol/) as possible and pairs it with some common ailments that a person here might face. It's fairly disingenuous even if I do enjoy many things on there and do feel some of the feelings they describe there.
