Fella, you’re taking a obviously hyperbolic (exaggerated) comic to face value… Of course no adult eat like that, and that’s kinda the punchline of the comic.

Relax, no one is obliged to agree with anyone. You thought it was a kid, I disagree. I didn’t think it was a kid, you disagree. We each decide whether to give upvote or downvote to the post and go on with our lives.

And my question was legit, with no malicious intent. It really didn’t cross my mind that it was a kid, but anyway…

It looks like you never met someone really REALLY hungry and a total mess (like myself)

Why do you think it’s a kid? Why would an adult like the one in the comic be so eager to wipe food off a kid’s cheeks?

No law is as brutal as my conscience. If something is illegal, yet I don’t feel remorsen for it (like with pirating), I don’t give a damn and keep doing it. But if I feel guilty about something that is not only not illegal, but even encouraged, no matter what, I NEVER do it again.

Well, in that case, I need a “Shower Realization” community, 'cause I didn’t know this 'till now.

This is the most “showerthought” shower thought ever. Congratulations.

Ok, I’ll grant you about the date, it was a big mistake and I should have been more cautious with that. The title and the “Brothers” thing though are rather misprints: the title… Well, yes, it’s "Casa Tomada, not “La Casa Tomada”, sorry; and about the brothers, well in Spanish (my mother tongue) saying “Hermanos” (brothers) is a way of referring to a group of brother and sister, there is no direct equivalent to the English “Siblings”, which was the word I wanted to use.

Now, Calling this “misinformation” is a bit exaggerated in my opinion, although I still appreciate the heads up and the interest you put in knowing more about the story and the author beyond what I have said, which after all was one of my goals.

It’s a metaphor! it can be anything that fits well, Abstract or concrete, future or past. As long as it’s “Something that pushes you out of a space you used to inhabit”, it works.

Because… That doesn’t matter, maybe?

I should consider again to move to neocities… I tried to do it once, but as I already have my blog (in blogger), I thought it was unnecessary (besides I was too lazy to relearn HTML and CSS). But I think that in this day and age, it is necessary…

The next stage of evolution:

Animal -> Human -> Porn Bot -> ???

Facebook and reddit, I would say, are part of the process of taking. You are right, we never “own” Facebook, Twitter or Reddit, we had the feeling that we did, but it was a fallacy. What we did had before (for those who had it at the time and maybe still have it) were the personal pages and forums of yesteryear, which, after the rise of social networks, no longer had a “place” in the new digital space.

it’s easier than ever to create your own digital space and anybody could do it at any time

Yes, it is easier, but I don’t know if “anybody” can do it. It requires time, resources, very advanced knowledge for the average user and infinite patience. I have a mutual who is struggling to maintain a Venezuelan Mastodon server and is questioning whether to keep it up even though there is almost no one there or continue. It’s not that simple. And in essence, for the average user who knows nothing about servers, the feeling that the world is shrinking and pushing them out is very real.

On the other hand, think that “our” country is not really “ours”, but of those who have the power, who do with it what they want. And our house may not be ours if it is mortgaged or rented. Nuance, nuance, etc, etc…

(Of course, analogies should not be taken as exact).

Nah, that would be like going back to the chess board with a player that already took all your pawns, towers and Your Queen (and is blatantly cheating). It’s not taking back form the inside but from the outside. Make our own Spaces grow just as their networks grow so many years ago an overwhelm them just as they overwhelmed us.

This wasn’t the type of GYO adaptation I was expecting…
