Every time I have to click “Continue” in one of the useless popups about some site’s “cookie policy”, I lose faith in any legislation ever producing a positive result.
If you don’t know, that whole thing originates in a severely wrong and uninformed EU Regulation on cookies, without understanding that there is no way to differentiate between ‘good cookies’ and ‘bad cookies’ and that either you accept the modern web needs them to work or you re-engineer the whole thing from scratch.

This is another of those strips in which I’m merely narrating reality and didn’t have to do much actual thinking. Apparently this all happened at some unnamed office where some unnamed friends work. I think everybody thought it was funnier because of the actual site the guy was going to.
What I think is actually more interesting is the kind of climate that office had for something like this to happen and have nobody go to the guy and tell him “Dude, press STOP DESKTOP SHARING”, instead letting him do that for the longest time.

The real Paul always warned us about the perils of the “Innovation by Committee”, which in essence means that any innovation initiative must be approved by a majority of stakeholders, which in most cases are heavily involved in other initiatives with short-term goals.

The problem with dogs is that they can sniff crap miles away.

This is based on a true story that went around my office for a while. Initially I thought it was just some lazy bastard making stuff up to avoid coming to work but then after a while I started feeling for the poor dog. Of course it was probably all made up, but still… think about it, the poor little beast there, waiting…
