It's missing the 5th and 6th panels where no one from the left talks to him at all and he just stands there, soaking it in.

[–] sik0fewl@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 minutes ago

And humour or insight?

If each panel was a post in a Lemmy thread, they would all have zero upvotes and zero down votes, because no one else would have read it.

No! That guy has no money! The billionaires have money! Fuck the billionaires!

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

Weird logic, those billionaires like Alex "I've got rectal worms" Karp or Jeff Bezos or Musk certainly don't look like anyone I know.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. - Lyndon B. Johnson

On the one hand I like and respect Gabe for staying relatively down to Earth.

But on the other Steam is the DRM that prevents people from owning what they bought and the dude has a fricking yacht. "But he eaaarned it waaah", yeah, and how did he earn it? I refer you back to the previous point.

relatively down to Earth
Billionaire

… Say that again.

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Do you know what the word relatively means?

Entertain me your definition on how a billionaire relatively humbles themselves “down to Earth.

[–] scintilla@crust.piefed.social 2 points 33 minutes ago (1 children)

What kind of garbage definition is that lmao. Not your fault I know you didn't write the fucking dictionary but what the hell. Here is one that doesn't use its own fucking root to define itself.

… So, what are you trying to compare here?
I am aware you're not palordrolap@fedia.io

Of ALL the billionaires in the world, Gabe Newell is possibly the least egregious.

That said. He's going to the guillotine with the rest of them.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 6 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Okay, but billionaires don't look anything like me so...

[–] davidgro@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

Notch and GabeN look more like me than most of them.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 7 hours ago

Hell, a few of them don't even look human.

It is incredible how well this works and how well it has worked for hundreds of years.

[–] eatCasserole@lemmy.world 18 points 11 hours ago

We should really know better by now...

[–] MutantTailThing@lemmy.world 14 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

What if we eat the billionaires? I’m not saying we should, just wondering what if.

[–] tjoa@feddit.org 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yknow, we would only need to eat a single billionaire. The rest will fall in line :)

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 hours ago

You can't stop at just one. ;)

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 9 points 10 hours ago

This is the kind of comment that got me banned permanently from Reddit haha

[–] kyub@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 7 hours ago

Kind of true, although for many, the comic starts at the 3rd panel.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago

Kill All Y'all (billionaires)

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 10 hours ago

Kay, is that you? You do look different.
