"This seems to be taking longer than usual" is an error message displayed by {{w|Gmail}} (see [https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/2753861?hl=en here]) and other software, for example {{w|Disqus}}, (see [https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1410995-troubleshooting-common-error-messages here]). We realize the allusion to Gmail by the first continuation, "Try reloading Gmail if the problem persists". | "This seems to be taking longer than usual" is an error message displayed by {{w|Gmail}} (see [https://support.google.com/mail/troubleshooter/2753861?hl=en here]) and other software, for example {{w|Disqus}}, (see [https://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/1410995-troubleshooting-common-error-messages here]).

β | In the second continuation, "Maybe we should just go to bed", the opening instead refers to a person suffering from {{w|Sexual dysfunction|sexual performance anxiety}}, taking "longer than usual" to achieve either {{w|orgasm}} or {{w|erection}}, probably despite considerable efforts of their partner.

The title text ties both interpretations together by referencing an infamous [http://www.howtogeek.com/135351/how-to-troubleshoot-mozilla-firefox-crashes/ error message] given by the {{w|Firefox|Firefox internet browser}}. As an error message, it fits nicely with the Gmail interpretation of the comic, though it is equally likely to be used as an apology or frustrated slight in the sexual interpretation. It would be a likely next line after "this is taking longer than usual". Alternatively, it would be embarrassing to get the two responses confused, thus necessitating a flowchart as a guide. | The title text ties both interpretations together by referencing an infamous [http://www.howtogeek.com/135351/how-to-troubleshoot-mozilla-firefox-crashes/ error message] given by the {{w|Firefox|Firefox internet browser}}.
