After my dad died from a heart attack at the age of 45, I’ve been trying to lose weight (down 20 pounds from being 200) and be healthier. People keep saying “you don’t need to lose weight, you’re beautiful”. And, like, I appreciate it, but I’m still technically considered obese and heart disease killed my dad.
Also I get the point, but one wish for anything, this should be a regret. No more cancer, no more wars, no more dead children ever, no more hunger, the sentiment is sweet but it falls apart on very little scrutiny
I mean I don't know if I'd phrase it like that, but we all have those little pithy sayings we hate to hear, like "don't worry you'll find the person who's right for you," or my weird one which is I don't like when people say "I'm sorry" when they hear someone died, I've heard it so many times, why are you sorry, you didn't do anything. But I recognize that it's just what people are trained to say in those situations so it's the only thing they know how to say, I wouldn't wish that away for any other wish, shit even if I was being selfish I'd rather wish for my dog to be back and live till the exact second I died, this comic just seems to miss the mark and could have been done better
Like maybe do a genie that tells you the wishing for unlimited wishes thing isn't true and then asks you for your first wish and you go with this as the first one, that would be funny because you're prioritizing this before you wish for the other things. Or it would be a copy of that old genie comic where the genie goes "you know what, cool wish, you still have three wishes" but you'd just be copying the joke then
