The last panel could said "I guess I'm living in the streets" and the pig calling the police because there's a homeless close their property.

Another one might be: living in their car and getting a cop called on them because a lot of places (US states mainly) have laws against sleeping in a car.

Those tall lamps that most corporate chain stores install in their giant parking lots are also specifically angled to make laying down in your car difficult. It shines right in your eyes. I see a lot of people talk about hostile architecture in terms of physically stopping unhoused people from sleeping in the streets. But car sleeping has a lot of similar barriers that are otherwise invisible.

Off topic: I see your name in orange in the Voyager app. Is this a per-comment flag on Lemmy (that you have the option to set when posting), or just something apps might do based on the value of an account-level flag?

Edit: disregard, see below.

Also Voyager, name isn't orange. I haven't seen an orange name; what version do you use?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Oh! Thank you! I assumed these were admins or something, but it seems it highlights users on my own instance. Stupid feature.

While we're here, how many of your comments has Voyager eaten?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Never had that happen, are you using the web app or the actual app? I tried the actual app and went back to the webapp almost immediately. In fact, it even saves comments I meant to discard and alerts me the next time I open the app.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Hmm. They both do that. Why did you switch back? The app is just a wrapper around the PWA to provide a bit better integration.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Idk, the main app seemed to have some issues loading images from certain instances, so I just went back to the pwa where it works fine. I still have it installed, but I’m a creature of habit, so at this point I doubt I’ll change for much of anything.

Voyager eats comments? Never heard of that. Also, surprisingly fast reply.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Its usually your instance admins. I have seen db0 and some other mods of my own instance in orange-red

[–] [email protected] 26 points 5 months ago

That's the next panel

You even worked in "police exist to protect capital" at the end. Well done!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

People not understanding this is so fucking annoying.

"Sure I can't afford housing but not allowing investment bankers to own 75% of the housing stock infringes on my personal freedom!"

[–] [email protected] 40 points 5 months ago

Truly one of the systems of all time.

The world we live in... :(
