that’s like the gayest possible parody of nicole.

i won’t say no to shirtless hunks in my DMs.

It’s because the comic strip’s style and history didn’t fit the story being told. If anything, it was a massive tonal shift compared to previous comic strips in the whole webcomic.

The author was used to the 4-panel comic layout, which was great for comedic setups and punchlines, and didn’t know to switch to something more appropriate for such a somber subject in Loss. That’s why Loss feels lifeless, rather than sad.

There are so many great ways to add tension and emotion in comic form through panel layouts, compositions, style, and shading; if Loss had employed any of those to convey a compelling emotional story, it would not have been so badly received, even if posted in the same webcomic series.

based take

so you’re saying that big bara men powerfucking each other is the gayest thing in existence?

i’m down.

psst just letting you know that surfshark doesn’t have ip forwarding, so you can’t seed while torrenting with it

the “best” format for everyday use is each individual person’s personal preference.

you may be more used to DDMMYYYY due to culture, language, upbringing, and usage. in the same vein, i am more used to YYYYMMDD because in chinese we go 年月日 (year-month-day), and it makes organizing files and spreadsheet entries much more intuitive anyways.

just nitpicking, but technically ISO 8601 does not (currently) permit the omission of the year.

if information is to be omitted, it must be done in ascending order of significance, so you can omit, in order, seconds, minutes, hours, and days.

(if you omit the month, that’s just the year left so why bother with ISO 8601 lmao)

1-26 or 01/26 is a way of writing the month and day. in this particular example, it is describing the 26th day of January, or January 26. the year is omitted in this instance because, in this context, it is a way of demonstrating how a month and day can still be conveyed in order of significance without fully adhering to ISO 8601 guidelines.
