i was going to say “hey let a man pose”，but I’m living in a beach town right now and there’s no joke literally 100 people posing with selfies and photo shoots every afternoon, so I at least empathize with Everett here.
and don’t worry, I am photobombing everyone to be Instagram model I can.
Keep it up, you should get a grant from your town, photobombing is a public art form, like chalk drawings or sand sculptures.
i like this. i can’t tell if you’re serious but i am now considering the practicality of applying for a photobombing grant.
Do it. Morally correct and hilarious. At least it would draw attention to the problem.
I guess that means this comic was 100 years ahead of its time. Otherwise, this one seems a bit out of line to me too.
a lot of these true comics are unexpectedly prescient.
or maybe they’re just making me realize how close our problems are to those of a century ago
The inner rage which threatens to burst is a timeless effect of the human condition.
I don’t think inner rage is necessarily derived from the human condition so much as emotional investment in unrealistic expectations of momentary, uncontrolled external slices of culture and personality True or any human observes during a decontextualized fleeting instant.
Yeah, I think that’s part of it. I guess you’re right that it doesn’t HAVE to be part of the human condition, but making it otherwise takes a lot of work.
Dukkha – “incapable of satisfying”,[web 4] “the unsatisfactory nature and the general insecurity of all conditioned phenomena”; “painful”.[29][31] Dukkha is most commonly translated as “suffering”. According to Khantipalo, this is an incorrect translation, since it refers to the ultimately unsatisfactory nature of temporary states and things…
I see no evidence for objective “truths” where human consciousness is concerned, but in this context, what I’m describing is closest to number 2, samudaya: (origin, arising, combination; “cause”): there is dukkha (unease, disbalance) when there is, or it arises simultaneously with, taṇhā (“craving,” “desire” or “attachment,” lit. ‘thirst’).
anything you expect that does not occur exactly how you expect it upsets you only if you’ve already attached yourself emotionally, spiritually or any -ally to your presupposed outcome.
Avoid the tendency for attachment.
which does sound like a lot of work, but I don’t think it is.
It’s just about going about thinking in the right way, or understanding how events unfold in a particular way.
Supposing less is the key, since you’re never going to know enough to predict anything correctly enough with any kind of anxiety-soothing consistency.
I was going to quibble about “no evidence for objective “truths” where human consciousness is concerned” but it’s an active area of research and I’m not up on the field. So instead:
Avoid the tendency for attachment.
which does sound like a lot of work, but I don’t think it is.
I guess if you’re sitting in meditation or working with a cognitive behavioral therapist then sure, there are plenty of known techniques. But when your family member’s dying and you’re just about losing your job and then some bozo almost kills you with his car, then it can be hard to avoid the tendency for attachment.
Everett needs to relax, maybe break the pill in half next time or something
Our man Everett lived before reliable, pharmaceutical grade antipsychotic medication. Instead, he should get himself into a dime bag of weed and just laugh at the clowns posing on the beach. Physically abusing a poser won’t make them stop - laughing at them would.
He needs some of that cough syrup with chloroform, alcohol, morphine, and cannabis.
Me too, honestly. Mostly just for fun; they had all the good “cures” back then.
Come to think of it, so do I!
Why is violence his answer to every slight, real or imagined?

I’ve been watching too much RuPaul’s drag race, thought for a second that “sickening” was meant as a compliment…
