    I have no idea why they decided to attack renewable energy

    Huh? The comic is complaining nerds are wasting adulthood on speedrunning and drawing comics instead of doing research that improves the world (like renewable energy).

      It doesn’t read that way to me, but either way my point still stands. There is absolutely nothing wrong with doing something you like, and calling that “wasting adulthood” is incredibly fucked up.

      The last line is literally telling people they are terrible for enjoying themselves. There is no excuse for that.

        If you are not producing or in another way being in service to society, can you claim any human worth or dignity? /S

      I’m wasting adulthood on university degrees and doing research

      Speedrun guys, research is not worth how much it destroys your life.

        I’ve done far too much research getting to where I am now. Thankfully not research. Couldn’t handle academia, government and private sector is a much better option.

        Edit: I forgot to say how much research sucks and agree with the point of ruining your life.
