Still not 100% sure what electronics are supposed to do to planes specifically during takeoff and landing in the first place (hint: it's nothing) (nothing is what they do) This really got through to me when I first started taking a Kindle on a plane because there is basically no distinction whatsoever between a Kindle in airplane mode that you are actively reading from and a Kindle in airplane mode that is "off", and yet

I believe nowadays a lot of the concern on planes during takeoff/landing is just large items like laptops being out and flying around the cabin if it gets bumpy. They don't tend to care about anything light and easy to hold now. Despite early concerns about signals, we have learned that electronics on planes are fine.

Landing is similar in that the bump upon touchdown can send objects flying around. Landings are gentler these days with all the tech doing a lot of the work of the pilot but landing in high wind conditions is still quite bumpy and unpleasant. Also pilots have been known to overshoot the touchdown spot on the runway and run out of runway before they can fully decelerate such as the case of Air France Flight 358 which was a mix of bad weather and poor pilot decisions that thankfully ended with no fatalities.

Modern stuff doesn't do that as it kills battery life. I guess the regulations will stick around until the FAA is 100% sure that every CRT on the planet is destroyed.

Do Delonas' comics COME with such bad artifacting or is this coming from somewhere else that saves their images like poo poo?

HILLARY 2015: I voted numerous times when I was a senator to spend money to build a barrier to try to prevent illegal immigrants from coming in.

Was there ever an actual event where a bunch of antifa people got together, carrying baseball bats, dressed in dark hoodies with red hankerchiefs covering their faces? That's been the go-to antifa visual for cartoonists like Nazi Klurf and Branco for years now, but just about every "antifa protester" I've seen has just been an normal-looking person, maybe carrying a sign, without any face coverings. Am I just missing the Dangerous Anarchist Thugs in the crowds, or is this a "New Black Panthers" situation where someone took a single photo and now every grandpa in America is terrified of black people in berets?

I mean, you could probably make a pretty good argument that morality is more important than math. What a lovely and exhausted meme that liberals "don't understand math" because they want to spend more on social services and less on dumb poo poo like walls and a bloated military. Especially considering how many glossed over eyes I've seen while trying to explain college loan forgiveness and how that money wouldn't just vanish. How in fact, it would give millions of Americans the ability to go out and spend more money on goods and services which is particularly helpful IF YOU LIVE IN A DEMAND DRIVEN ECONOMY YOU loving MORONS.

IIRC, plenty of antifa people actually do wear the face coverings, since the Nazis are constantly urging their people to doxx them. Of course, the antifa roaming in packs and torching everything and jumping people is projection on the Nazi's part.

Yesss... The people that plan to go out and literally fight Nazis or engage in property damage will cover up to avoid identification. Like the person who punched Richard Spencer had a hoodie and bandana on, so it's not an entirely unfair image though it does reflect a minority of antifa activists.

Googling "antifa attacks marines" yielded Fox News and a lot of other garbage looking sources, but upon reading even those it seems pretty bullshit. According to the two marines, this group of like ten masked people "asked them if they were proud boys" and then just proceeded to mercilessly beat the poo poo out of them. Even while one marine yelled "I'm Mexican!" It just reeks of missing context, but that's probably just my bias against right wing shitheads.

Like the person who punched Richard Spencer had a hoodie and bandana on, so it's not an entirely unfair image though it does reflect a minority of antifa activists. Yeah, I'm aware that covering up your face if there's a chance of engaging in antifascist violence is a good idea, but I was more asking about the specifics of the "outfit". Like, black hoodie and red handkerchief is the go-to portrayal. It's been kept pretty consistent across multiple cartoonists and a number of years, so I was wondering if there was an initial photograph or video that solidified "Ah, so this is what antifa looks like" in the collective conservative subconscious. It's like how Branco saw that one photo of Obama with his eyes mostly closed and his chin tilted up so it kinda looks like he's looking down at someone, and immediately said "Welp, that's how I'm going to draw that uppity... so-and-so from now on." Edit: Yeah I phrased that initial question poorly, I didn't want to imply that antifa are just peaceful protesters that never perform violence, I just haven't seen any wandering groups of red-hankerchiefed antifa thugs that Ramirez wants you to think exist. Individuals covering their faces, yeah of course, but it's not a uniform. Crunch Buttsteak fucked around with this message at 01:19 on Jan 11, 2019 |

I can buy there is more to the story than what has been reported so far, but I can also buy they were attacked by some idiots for no real good reason and beaten up though.

No, it's just a stereotype made from a common look among antifa; there's even still all-black and ski mask variations around so it's not that iconic yet. Stonetoss's is also a variation because the bandana is an antifa flag as opposed to just being red.
