    couldn’t pronounce “graphics”

    That’s not how acronym pronunciation works though. We don’t pronounce them based on the words they stand for, otherwise we would pronounce NASA, SCUBA, LASER, etc. differently. Both pronunciations have valid arguments so why can’t we just accept both and stop being weird about it.

    The sense of obligation towards your coworkers is something companies absolutely abuse and exploit. I’m not saying don’t have empathy for your fellow human, but people aren’t typically incentivized to use best possible solutions if they take more work outside of this obligation so you have to be careful to not let yourself be exploited because of it.

    Welcome to Farside comics. Either the joke is just absurdity or it relies on some obscure pop culture reference from pre 1970s to understand. My best guess here is it’s supposed to be like some phone sex joke since the human is using a duck call which is I guess is supposed to sound like a duck mating call?
