Double equals not throwing a syntax error in SQL?
Dude has obviously lost touch with reality
DAE le sex with woman? 😍😍🤤😍
But wen not woma n? 😡😡😤😢
That’s a bit transphobic.
Maybe she's a ghost, and that's why she's not in the database.
That's how I originally interpreted it. I thought the difference in shading was to signify she's a ghost. Unfortunately, I guess that's not the author's intent.
I wish there were more spooky comics though :(
That would be a much better joke.
Is it transphobic to not be into trans people? But I agree, the cartoon seems a bit ... dusty.
No, but that guy on the right has no idea what Randie is “into.” This is a classic example of a transphobic joke.
“You’re not going to like this” means the situation is bad. Not like, incompatible bad, but… gay bad.
Exactly this. Everyone has their own preferences and judging a person as a good/bad fit solely based on their gender identity and not any sort of subjective compatibility is fundamentally transphobic. It's assessing that trans people are objectively undesirable. Pretty messed up.
Well put.
I don't want to date a dude.
First: don't be a loser. Refer to trans women as women. Or are you a captive to your barbaric past?
Second: you're allowed to have a preference, but projecting your preference onto the world is transphobic. Making a joke that implies all trans people are undesirable to everyone is transphobic and self-centered.
You can be a better person than this. Give it a try. Otherwise you'll be left behind as a relic of a less civilized time
Which is why you state your preference for genitalia in a partner. It’s okay if you don’t want to date a trans individual, but don’t go acting like your preference is the only valid choice.
Randie said "I have to find her." I'd take that as evidence he's into her, or at the very least wants to see her again, regardless of his gender preferences.
I have no idea how any of the characters shown in this comic being transgender would impact anything. Doubly so considering if the girl who walked past Randie both exists and is trans, that would mean she has transitioned with regards to her appearance but her employer both has not updated their database to reflect her transition and (assuming that lack of update was for ideological reasons rather than "IT is too lazy" reasons, which I would assume a trans woman would apply pressure to) has not transphobically fired her. While not strictly speaking impossible, I find this far less likely than that Randie simply imagined the woman, or that one of his male-identifying coworkers had dressed in drag to mess with him.
I understood it as "unfortunately she must have been a visitor, she doesn't work here".
What
What?
The only genders are ‘MALE’, ‘FEMALE’, ‘NONBINARY’, null, and ‘NULL’, and ‘NON_BINARY’ and ‘’.
Implemented as "Maleness" with options: TRUE, FALSE, FILE_NOT_FOUND
One of the few cases where this implementation of a boolean is almost a good idea.
NaN
If it's not binary what is it, hexadecimal?
I spent two full minutes trying to understand why people were interpreting this comic strip as something related to gender identity.
It’s my fault. I slightly broke one of the community rules that stipulates stories must be complete. I thought this segment of the comic told a complete story on its own, but the lack of context led to this misunderstanding, and I apologize for that.
Indeed, the story continues, and I was hoping that some people would visit the author's website to read the entire arc of this story. To clarify once and for all, and already giving a spoiler, the blonde woman who appears in the story is the CEO of the company, and for that reason she did not appear in the listing of regular employees.
I feel like I'm still missing something. I don't get why that would affect whether or not she said "hi" to him.
Why couldn't a visitor or something say "hi"? Like, what relevance does the SQL query have?
I have no idea what is going on in this
