A tragic story of an autistic young student's descent into isolation. Hearing some of his schoolfellows engaged in a conversation about physics and math-- the only subjects he feels comfortable discussing-- he attempts, in his heart-breakingly artless way, to join in. Unfortunately, his inability to read social cues intervenes, preventing him from realizing that in actuality he is observing an attempt to flirt. The other students, being only slightly less autistic, can only respond by diligently ignoring him. How else could the hat guy be expected to respond?

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great webcomic xkcd updated today. Go and read it. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I write xkcd."

I can't tell if this is part of Randall's disturbingly sexual obsession with the idea of a woman insulting his programming skills because the other person is offscreen.

What does a materialist care whether or not something is "alive"? What does it even mean to be higher or lower on the line?

That one on the left is some kind of Staphylococcus, not a virus. Also, I love how he always draws these noodly little fists on the stick figures to make them look threatening

Randall actually drew a picture of the Google Trends results for this. On the bright side, the lines all look like they're heading back down, so maybe he'll stop coronaposting soon.
