You can definitely throw up if you overdo it. Which is the point of the cartoon I guess. The girls overdo their New Year's resolution and give up completely when they don't become hard-bodied goddesses in 2 months.

A big cause of death before modern medicine was getting a bug that caused rampant shits and dehydrating to death. These days, that's a trip to the hospital for a drip. Even over-the-counter rehydration salts could have saved a lot of our ancestors. The human body isn't terribly logical especially in the digestive system which seem to have the programming "catch error: dump all."

It discusses or generally focuses on feminist issues or a feminist perception of the world. It's more political than a image of a flag with DEBT on it anyways.

That's pretty much the default response to sensory shenanigans. Motion sickness is your body assuming that these weird readings must mean that you've been poisoned so time to empty that belly.

Zelda's not explicitly political every single strip, in fact a large amount of it is just slice of life and general societal commentary.

This does NOT mean it should go, in fact I rather like it. It's a nice palate cleanser, and if you want to get rid of Zelda for not being political enough then all of Tinsley's Old Man Yells At Cloud Internet should go, too.

There are many more possibilities than single-payer. Dozens of health care systems around the world, in fact, that work better than ours, for cheaper. We could try learning from any of them, or all of them. But hey, someday we'll get that incremental change that actually benefits people.

Well if the ACA benefits no-one then I guess we'd better pressure Dems to join with Republicans to repeal it. Make sure we share in the credit of repealing a law that does nothing good for anyone.

loquacius posted:

hey stop being a condescending douche for a second please TIA

If you can't wrap your mind around the idea that the person who is making an argument can affect someone else's perception of that argument, I don't know what to tell you here. Someone attributing credit for a hypothetical future single-payer system to a specific law loses a lot of credibility in my eyes when they have in the past gone to great pains to identify themselves with a movement that emphatically stated on several occasions that a single-payer system would be a repudiation of that law (also, remember "never, ever come to pass"?). Disavowing those statements would be a good way for us to bring this argument to a tidy close. I'd totally believe that they were just damage-control against a primary opponent calling for a popular healthcare reform, although I don't know why the Clinton campaign wouldn't just adopt the idea themselves (see: $15 minimum wage, sort of)

You are never, ever gonna be able to get over being treated like an adult and being expected to recognise the real world, are you?

And on the $15 minimum wage thing, yes, I do remember that she had a more nuanced approach that didn't try to set wages for what works in New York or LA, and instead wanted to set wages in smaller rural towns for what works for those economies. Good thing Rural voters don't mind having their situation ignored for big city situations.

I don't think it's particularly funny, whether it's political not.
