Maybe he already has a partner or is doing something important…
Yes, he’s doing something important by contributing to open source.
Clearly he should be inviting then to murder his wife in exchange for him murdering their husbands. That’s what strangers on a train do, right?
Tim Lambesis that you?
🎶🎸 Saaaailing, takes me to where I’m always…
Wow a man not sexually assaulting women in the train. What a creep
Yep all is cool until he does exactly that and the script turns upside down.
yeah, I’m also highly confused about the point of the picture.
it could be a joke if the women would show some actual interest in the guy and he ignored them, but here it’s just ppl minding their own business.
I get the feeling someone’s done their room up to look like a train carriage, and maybe has a very specific fantasy life.
He’s respecting their privacy in a place where they HAVE to share space with him. Good guy contributor.
Unlike the camera person…
No worries, seems like they’re doing just fine without him.

I made a pull request today! It didn’t get merged but I think I can use the fork on my own. How do I switch Firefox a local PDF.js without recompiling the whole browser?
Firefox loads PDF.js using a
resourceURL (resource://) and those are sourced from a JAR file (omni.ja) so you would have to find that file in your local installation and patch the archive with your customized version.
Code before hoes.
Why would he bother risking harassment allegations from strangers?
men pay attention to women they get roasted; men ignore women and they get roasted.
it’s almost like there’s a battle of the sexes going on that’s tipped one way because nobody dares speak out on the men’s side because they’ll get labeled an incel or ‘part of the problem.’
neither of those women are worth paying attention to.
A bit unrelated to the joke, but I am sad at how acceptable it has become taking pictures of people in public
to make fun of them.Street photography isn’t so bad, as long as it’s not a hidden cam.
I don’t generally like my picture taken, but I’d have no problem if it just some person with a real camera taking casual pictures of crowds for fun.
What makes it creepy (to me) if it’s someone trying to hide it with a smartphone, or Meta glasses.
edit: It’s also nothing new. Street photographers have been around forever, long before digital cameras. It was pretty acceptable when I was a kid with a flip phone.
This is not a street. It’s within an enclosed space
Its still nothing new though. These photos are from 1980, Bruce Davidson:

I imagine their conversation’s about writer modes for emacs.
I knew it! He’s must be using vim. Mystery solved.
The hero we deserve.
They’re having a conversation, he’s working. The caption is dumb.
The joke is that he wouldn’t be talking to them even if he weren’t doing whatever he’s doing. So yes, the caption is dumb, on purpose, in order to be humorous. I hope the joke is better now I’ve explained it.
“I hope we can get into the club.”
“Yeah, it’s going to be packed already, and we’re still 20 minutes away.”
“Since it’s this late already, see if Chris’s after-party’s started yet.”
“Good idea… … The stream is up. Only a few people milling around so far.”
“Soon to be three more.”
“Yeah, skipping club, on to the after party.”
That reads like how a 6th grader thinks adulting works.
Yeah, he’s not joining the conversation because he’s working on some open source code. Thats what it says.
I’m pretty sure he is debating with someone on github PR/issue thread
No, it says he’s saying something to them. It’s right there.
He’s not joining the conversation because they’re strangers who just happen to be riding the same public transit as him.
Indeed, and he could join in the conversation and have a very nice conversation and make friends. But he is not doing that because he is working. It is not likely that he would join the conversation if he wasn’t working, as such the joke does not make much sense, but it is definitely something he could do, which could indeed be a nice conversation for the three of them, or it could be terrible for some of them.
I don’t see why you put it down so black and white. Is it prohibited to start a conversation with strangers on public transport? How do you meet people? I often talk to strangers, it’s generally pretty nice.
Granted, the last few years I didn’t take public transport very often: I mostly walk, but when I do I generally start a chat with someone.
he could join in the conversation and have a very nice conversation and make friends.
Let me guess… You’re not from USA?
You are correct. I have met plenty nice people in the US though, I had pretty good chats.
But I reckon buses were pretty strange: often people would start screaming stuff while not talking to anyone and keep going for the whole ride.
At least being young in USA, made friends on public transit!
As with all interactions like that (captive audience essentially), utmost care is required, but want to dissuade notion it’s not possible or not permissible, even in a country with illness & weapons.
ok mr no fun allowed
“it’s called dark humour, librul” vibe comment
Comedy is legal now which means really bad and stupid jokes that only alcoholic bigots would laugh at are funny again.
please please please i wanna be a comedian i want people to think im funny, im so lonely and miserable please ill be happy if you laugh please laugh, goddamnit laugh or ill vote for trump again
I don’t get it
You’re ruining the joke
was there a joke?
Yep
If you can very easily explain a ‘joke’ with an incredibly common, mundane explanation…
You probably do not have a very good joke.
Gosh, just laugh or give it a ↓ if you don’t like it
No.
I have thoughts, and want to talk about them.
That’s the point of a discussion platform.
Who are you to tell me I just shouldn’t say anything?
Pretending things that either aren’t jokes, or are really dumb jokes… are actually good jokes… is how you get more dumb jokes, and people laughing at things that are not jokes.
