Choose Your Blame Target

Description

A four-panel Stonetoss-style comic shows the same angry, squinting character in different costumes, each raising a fist and shouting a different target. The top-left panel shows a Soviet-style hat with a red star and the speech bubble "THE RICH!"; the top-right shows a dark military-style cap and the speech bubble "THE JEWS!"; the bottom-left shows a green hoodie and beanie with "MY DAD!"; and the bottom-right shows a cowboy hat with "THE STATE!". The image has no code, tools, software UI, or direct developer reference. In a software-engineering corpus, its closest technical reading is about blame assignment as an anti-pattern: picking a preferred scapegoat before doing any real root-cause analysis.

    1. @lab0rat 4y

      And you're their son

      1. @tokimonatakanimekat 4y

  5. @TimurWasHere 4y

  6. @chipmunkcustodian 4y

    Haha woke devs mad over stonetoss, keep making him richer, amogus!

  7. @chipmunkcustodian 4y

    He is funny, he keeps growing every single day, you lost.

  8. @RiedleroD 4y

    troll alert! this is a troll you just replied to. u mad bro? cause that's what he wants

    1. @feedable 4y

      what's wrong with stonetoss

      1. @RiedleroD 4y

        a lot, but besides that… man literally went "woke devs mad", "keep making him richer", "you lost" obvious troll behaviour

        1. @feedable 4y

          don't care about the troll

          1. @RiedleroD 4y

            right, stonetoss doesn't have morals or values, he just lives off of controversy and that irks me. Also the one thing he stands for is anti-trans stuff, so another negative right there.

            1. @feedable 4y

              based

            2. @chipmunkcustodian 4y

              Let me guess, you are trans

              1. @RiedleroD 4y

                no, white straight dude with morals.

                1. Deleted Account 4y

                  I forgot that existed

  9. @RiedleroD 4y

    didn't know about the nft stuff, but I'm looking at some stonetoss comics, and there's zero consistency in messaging

    1. @feedable 4y

      peculiar

  10. @RiedleroD 4y

    lmao

  11. @chipmunkcustodian 4y

    I am a troll, I wasn't trolling in those messages though. Stonetoss always has a point even when I don't agree with it.

  12. @WatashiWaSeireidesu 4y

    You are all poor devs wasting time here lol

  13. @kandiesky 4y

    Man stonetoss used to be funny before becoming famous and going full cryptobro mode

  14. @RiedleroD 4y

    absolute banger
