I fucking love this so much.
You should check out this artist's other work!
Might need a couple of those to be translated
- I think, there for i am
- Death comes for us all
- You're not welcome here
- Attacking the person (not the arguments)
- Seize the day
- All togther, we are one
- to the stars (through suffering? New one for me)
- god in the machine (saved by forces beyond mortal understanding)
to the stars (through suffering? New one for me)
"Through adversity" is the translation I've heard.
Suffering, adversity, difficulty, hardship, seem to be what different institutions commonly translate it to.
Fun fact, it's also the motto of Kansas, where the artist lives.
Where I live it's translated as Through the thorns to the stars.
For the record, Deus ex Machina is more a specific literary device- literally a crane lowering a god to save the protagonist in Roman and Greek dramas.
To be fair they were more interested in telling a moral than being a good story. But the whole hanging-actor thing was meant to say they were a god and could just wave problems away. (Apparently literally.)
they were more interested in telling a moral than being a good story
So.. Literally Netflix
Don't say you've never heard of Per aspera ad astra?
More literally, memento mori is "remember you will die". There was a Roman ceremony called the Triumph when a successful war commander would parade on a chariot through Rome.
Allegedly, someone would follow them through the day telling them "memento mori" to... keep them humble, I guess? as they were basically showing off to everyone in a god costume.
That "This farmer is evel" by the pig and the "sic" by the hen gives me a sensible chuckle
That's a ~~cock~~ rooster.
Cute comic, but I'm starting to hate how people stared thinking that an insult is the same thing as an ad hominem. No. If I call you an idiot without attaching any propositions to that, it's just an insult and not a logical fallacy.
I suppose "revolt, because the farmer is evel [sic]!" is more of an ad hominem than "revolt, because the farmer will have us all slaughtered!"
As the story goes, John Steinbeck was told by one of his professors that he would become an author when pigs fly,[...]
The accurate phrase is “ad astra per ALAS porci,” which means that Steinbeck in his snarky revenge was demonstrating far and wide that he was a bad student after all – and thanks to his famous but inaccurate imprint, countless people are running around with tattoos which actually say “to the stars through other pigs.”{“ad astra per alia porci”]
Was this an animated gif that had no animation?
Boost always renders gif as an animation whether it's animated or not. Which client do you use?
Boost 1.0.14 for Android.
Well, I need to take a cold hard look in the mirror, because I was waiting for the Pig to complain aboutsystemd.
Edit: Context for my expectation - we're doing that over on Linux memes, today
