A six-panel SMBC comic. An orange-haired man and a dark-haired woman in glasses sit talking. He says, "I think I was just born garbage." She replies, "No, no, no. Behavioral genetics suggests that personality traits become more heritable over time. If you're predisposed to being garbage you probably STARTED okay. Since then you've modified your environment to reinforce your innate propensities. It's not so much that you were born garbage. It's that you're becoming a more pure you." He, deadpan, finishes her sentence: "Who is garbage." He then admits, "I was actually just fishing for compliments." She shrugs and offers, "Given the sheer quantity of your failures, some of them are probably not your fault." Votey: a speech bubble reading "PROBABLY." hovers over the man's now-distressed, teary face.
