NickI don't know who made this, but I am very grateful that they did.
BrianKrebs@nloadholtes Yeah either that or GTFO.

@nloadholtes I don’t know if it’s this image specifically, but I think the artist who made the original image used in the meme actually did something similar years after. Like an actualization of his comic where he tells people to wake up and do something about what is obviously not fine
Sjors@nloadholtes @Nans Exactly. You’d think the dog slowly melting in a house on fire would be a clear message, but apparently it has to be spelled out.
Thorwegian (old account)@nloadholtes @m0xee Per whose definition is it your responsibility to act?
AdeptVeritatisResponsibility is a capability. You have it, so you are responsible.
That is the definition.
Simon Frankau@AdeptVeritatis @thor I feel this is a reductive and unhelpful definition. The ability to act on something does not make it necessarily practical to act.
People cannot act on all things that are not fine that they have a capability to affect, there are too many of them.
Different people have different capabilities, and it makes sense to focus efforts on different places.
Everyone capable of acting on something doing so without coordination can work out badly - for example, dog-piling.

@AdeptVeritatis @thor Responsibility is often tied up with blame: "failure to be responsible", irresponsibility.
By passing responsibility on to everyone in view, it can take away responsibility from those who caused an issue, enabling breaking stuff without consequence.
Declaring all with capability comes responsibility can be used as a bludgeon to guilt-trip people with different priorities into action.

TL;DR: Saying everyone should be responsible for what they are capable of sounds laudable, but inevitably turns into a judgement mechanism against an unreasonable standard.
You can be responsible. Or you can feel responsible.
One is a capability. The other is an emotion.
You put a lot of unnecessary personal involvement into it. Instead of just accepting, YOU construct something like a "guilt-trip".
That is, why deconstructing everything until only the bare minimum is left, is a better approach. For me at least.
Whatever you want to deny, pushing around the feeling of responsibility will not help you.
Use your responsibility with full capacity. It is a capability. It is worth something. A lot!
@AdeptVeritatis @thor I think you're taking "responsibility is capability" as axiomatic, and I'm not. As such, we're likely to talk past each other. That's a bit futile, so I'll stop here, but thanks for attempting to explain your view.
Glyph@nloadholtes fwiw the original author did a somewhat more dramatic update making the same point: https://thenib.com/this-is-not-fine/
@glyph awesome, I did not know about that one (or the author). Thank you!
scott f@nloadholtes @williampietri the original artist, KC Green, made a better version of this. https://thenib.com/this-is-not-fine/

cobalt going beige today@kzodasnowman @nloadholtes @carstenraddatz_fca Oh my that merch is all fantastic! And also other humor- Dr. Glaucomfecken!
Carsten Raddatz@kzodasnowman @nloadholtes Why, I am tempted to buy the plush dog with coffee cup! Plot wise, I am thrilled to learn, at some point, how Dog copes with the necessary change.
Pusher of Pixels@nloadholtes @GottaLaff some positive vibes
Laffy@nloadholtes I’ve seen something like this before, and it shows a lack of awareness of what the original cartoon is meant to say. Of course it’s not fine, that was the original message all along. https://www.salon.com/2016/08/04/this_is_fine_cartoonist_on_why_its_not_fine_after_all_its_a_response_to_how_weird_and_bad_2016_has_made_me_feel/

@nloadholtes The problem is that the required action is criminalized...
