Yes, be thankful if you have a job.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It's called "taking control over your life" and it has the cumbersome effect of giving the illusion that one has control over one's own life. A common phrase would be "If you just worked harder you wouldn't be so poor." There is solace in the power over one's own life, so much so that people ignore that this power is getting eroded day by day. Because admitting this is very scary, even moreso if one has people depending on them.
Is that Mac from 1992 going to work until it is dead?
That appears to be a Macintosh 128K and I can confirm that the one my dad got in 1984 still functions. It's not really useful for much these days, but it does work, and you can play Math Blasters, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and it even has a monochrome paint program.

My dude pick a fucking lane
IT budget went to CEO stock options
Oh I was going to say he paid a rich guy way too much $$$$ for a NOS (new old stock) vintage Mac!
But why did he need to write it in cum on the wall?
Is that why all of his veins are popping out?
It's the measles, it got his brain.
Was wondering if those were supposed to be veins or wtf they were.
Those are veinsss? I thought they are Bovine Tapeworms
If youβre not making billionaires become trillionaires, WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PURPOSE OF YOUR WORTHLESS LIFE?ΒΏ
Get back to work.
Lol, like we're not gonna be replaced by AI. You're lucky to even have a job.
I liked my original Mac too, but certainly missed the deluxe keyboard and two-button mouse. :S
