Illustrator Anton Gudim is the mind behind the witty comic series “Yes, But.” With just two panels (more often than not), he exposes the little contradictions we all face in everyday life, like enjoying the sun but sneezing from allergies, or eating healthy only to cover the food in sauce.

Simple, clever, and relatable, Gudim’s work makes us laugh while holding up a mirror to our habits. His comics are both humorous and thought-provoking, reminding us how often life comes with a “yes”… followed by a “but.”

    When Windows asks you to create a PIN so you don't have to remember your password then states if you need to change things you require a password which you've forgotten because it told you to create a PIN instead so you didn't have to remember the password !!!!!

    Plants hate me. I bought an aquarium to build a nice terrarium. Plenty of ventilation, plant lights on a timer, PH monitor, Temp Monitor. The perfect soil. A variety of plants to see which do best in the environment. None. That's how many. I'd like to grow a specific type of herb but no chance of that. Even my tomatoes in the garden have bottom rot. wtf. Edit 10 gallon aquarium btw with a terrarium adapter top, for the lights and such.

    No reason why you should trust the first person knows how to hit a button. I walked up to an elevator where a woman hit the button. She hit the down button and the doors opened right when I walked up. She said out loud "I don't want to go down." After the doors closed she hit the down button AGAIN. I hit the up button right after, and she actually thanked me.

    That's just stupid. Veganism is not an exclusive club noone may join. Maybe someone wants to reduce the amount of meat they consume for environmental reasons, or maybe they just like the taste of the vegan patty more than the taste of the meat patty. People who eat meat are allowed to eat non-meat stuff like vegetables too.

And some others must be accompanied by an escort to field rude guests and tell them to keep their hands to themselves. On top of having to wear disgusting, horribly- suffocating costumes with little to no rest. No wonder employees are absolutely miserable.
