Oh. ooooooooooooh. Thats why the movie is called trainspotting.

Lots of smoker's mathematics

Have you considered buying loose tobacco and hand rolling your own? It usually costs about the same, the tobacco is in my experience of (somewhat) better quality and they don't burn up as fast as premade cigarettes when you aren't actively smoking them.

Rouge scraped guts off her shirt and slung the gooey clump aside. A small, sad voice entered her mind. ::That was really, really gross.::

The elf girl gasped and reached up to her collar, stroking the slimy, miserable little bat where she clung to her hair. ::Oh my gosh, Silus! Are you all right?::

Silus’ squeaky little voice was filled with absolute misery. ::There are intestines in my eyes.::

I'll be murmuring ♫ski-bap ba-dap♪ for a few days.

Shouting "Freedom" and other anti-government slogans, hundreds of Cubans took to the streets...

Ah, poorly-drawn Office Space with Ayn Rand.

I mean, humourous, but overly simplified.

The implication is that owners don't have a right to the workers' product, and that they're worthless. Even if we do assume that owners do zero work (such as accumulate start-up capital, secure deals, provide organisation and leadership, high-level administration and, indeed, provide a face for the otherwise anonymous working machine) then that implication doesn't challenge owners so much as the right to ownership.

Which, obviously, 'cause communism. But that's probably the most contentious facet of communism for everyone, high to low. The CEO doesn't want to give up his McMansion, Fred down the street doesn't want to lose inheritance rights to his childhood home.

Of course, it's just a comic strip, so I'm over-thinking it - but it's definitely a strip which tends to try to hammer home points too

Neither the Party Leader, nor the CEO, nor the the King wish to give up their Mansion.  Even should The Mansion be given over to The People, one person is going to either be appointed by some entity to control The Mansion through mysterious means, or one person will somehow seize control of The Mansion.

Once could argue against Mansions in general.  But what fun is toiling all your life without even the possibility to own Your Own Mansion?

I got hustled again, 1 euro for badly drawn tulips. I wonder who put the neighbours kid up to this  .

Being an old man in an empty mansion sounds pretty fucking terrible. I'd rather be a young man in a fuck huge castle I can't escape, because if I'm going to spend what few days I have left in a prison of my own making, I'd prefer at least for it to be appropriately gothic and sublime

I remember in some history classes learning that enemy forces would get lost in the labyrinthine halls of fortresses

It is well known that the Theodosian Walls held for so long by causing so many pathing errors the enemy's forces suffered FPS death and were forced to retreat before the next work day started at 6:00 A.M.

It was a design, used a lot in Japan and I guess in other places too. Fortifications with confusing layout were invaders would be trapped and/or channeled towards traps to be easily disposed off.

just now I noticed we’re talking about death maze fortresses in the laughing thread of all places. This place is amazing!
