SneezeOfTheDecade posted:In episode 3 of "The Munsters", Herman has insomnia, so he goes walking in the park at night. At the same time, an actual thief is attacking late-night parkgoers, and based on his victims' description, the police think Herman is the culprit. They are, however, inept, and it takes the Herman's help to actually catch the thief and rid the park of its criminal element. Kit Walker posted:If this was true, he could post “Black lives matter, but I have issues with the organization under that banner, namely that xyz” but if he went into more detail he’d probably say some ridiculously racist poo poo, so we get this handwringing instead "also i can't say 'black lives matter' out loud because then even more of my money goes to blacklivesmattercorp to spend on ridiculous bonuses for their ceo"

Crunch Buttsteak posted:Most of my white rural family has fallen into the right wing media-driven "Yes I agree that black lives matter, but the movement was founded by.... m-m-m-m-Marxists, so I need to oppose it as a Good American" trap, so I guess that's where I'm coming from with saying that it's a "genuine" belief. It's still a stupid loving belief, but there's a difference between being an ignorant moron and a knowing cryptofascist. Fishman is part of the right-wing propagandasphere though, he isn't some unplugged working stiff listening to talk radio on his commute to and from a day of drudgery making someone else rich, politics is his fulltime job and it's not like the actual 'art' part takes more than an hour a day, so while I'm sure it's genuine for your family (because of people like Fishman), it's def not genuine coming from him.

It's just jarring to see a Mallard strip that isn't a banal observation in the first panel, and a dinosaur saying a pithy fascist zinger in the second.

Fister Roboto posted:This is why I'm saying that he's more like stonetoss, he's sneaking in a more sinister brand of fascism by hiding it among a bunch of relatively uncontroversial or even halfway agreeable takes. Fishman is like Stantis before the latter's brain broke down into mush from trying to cling to a moral center and conservative values at the same time. The only relation he has to Stonetoss is that he's not totally broken as a person and therefor can make cartoons that function as cartoons. Is that dangerous? Well anything that perpetrates the lie that conservatism in this country is anything other than a morally bankrupt death cult is dangerous. Trying to quantify that against an out and out fascist like Stonetoss seems like complex ethical philosophy question. Who is worse, the guy downplaying how bad the cult is early on, or the guy making it's violence and danger seem cool.

My intention wasn't to praise Fishman, it was just an observation of "Huh, he's actually having Mallard say things and present an argument, that's a departure". It's definitely not "Wow, what a breath of fresh air! He might be one of the good ones, guys  " after he draws a cartoon duck saying that all lives matter.

I'm deeply confused at the argument that masks are going to choke the life out of us. You'd think people would have noticed that was true in some of the cultures that have regularly put cloth over face for the last several hundred years, including people from the Middle East and cold climes.

I mean, it's a pain in the rear end to exercise in a mask, but walking around is fine. And if you are exercising, you're likely outdoors in an area where you can stay away from people and minimize contact while ensuring good airflow.

ZeeToo posted:I'm deeply confused at the argument that masks are going to choke the life out of us. Those masks do result in a reduction of oxygen intake, not because oxygen is too big to go through but because it largely blocks airflow (which is the entire point) so you get a pocket of stale air in front of your nose and mouth. It's not comparable to a balaclava or burka or whatever because it's not the same degree of filtration nor the same tight fitting on the face. Obviously you shouldn't wear a mask 24/7, nor when there are no real reason to wear one. But in a crowded area, especially when not in the open air (such as, inside a shop for example)? Then yeah, wear the loving mask. It's definitely an annoyance but that and washing your hands regularly are how we can reduce the virulence of this disease. The sooner the pandemic is over, the sooner we can forget about the masks and go back to not washing our hands constantly like we have OCD.

Fun fact: Birds purposefully recycle air they breathe out since it is more efficient. It's actually really cool, you can see it in Dino skulls as the oxygen content of the earth was decreasing. They started to have these crazy extended nasal cavities that let them rebreathe air to extract as much oxygen from it as possible. Those structures are what let birds fly since flying is a massively aerobic activity. The children's children of mask wearing people will be able to fly on the moon and mars while others will have to merely bounce.

Or it's a million degrees and 100% humidity, which I suppose is a real thing for some but not all of the people complaining about masks.

ZeeToo posted:I'm deeply confused at the argument that masks are going to choke the life out of us. The main thing you don't get about 2020 conservatism is that it has become entirely reactive, and the thing it is reacting to is Trump's tweets. So if Trump tweets that masks are bad then: 1. Evangelicals decide that masks are the mark of the beast 2. White nationalists decide that masks are part of the death of their culture 3. Businesspeople decide that masks will squash retail sales 4. Gun owners believe that mask laws are the camel's snout to having them register their murder weapons 5. Youtube demagogues say it's one more step to the feminizing of America If Trump tweets something different, then they will think and spout different things. It's not based on principles you can engage. Trump has banana republic levels of support among conservatives. There's no loving middle.

There's no actual issues anymore there's just pro Trump or anti Trump that's what he's done to the discourse. Evangelical Christians support an adulterer who paid off a porn star at 96%. They don't have principles. gently caress them.

Samurai Sanders posted:Or it's a million degrees and 100% humidity, which I suppose is a real thing for some but not all of the people complaining about masks. I mean it's summer in Florida, where I live, and it's still not hard to shove a mask in your pocket and put it on just before you enter the indoor place full of people. If you're voluntarily spending a lot of time outdoors in close proximity to other people around these parts, you're either at an amusement park or the beach. And you should be rethinking doing those things at all, mask or not.

The Fishman cartoon makes a lot more sense if you accept the editor as being in the right. "Well I don't support all of the things associated with the BLM movement" is the same as not supporting it.

Incelshok Na posted:Fun fact: Birds purposefully recycle air they breathe out since it is more efficient. This all to say: rebreathing would be pointless, they're surrounded by air with more oxygen than what's gone through their lungs - and this is true even if the air O2 concentration decreases. Mammals never fully expel stale air from their lungs and end up "rebreathing," to their detriment. Birds' lungs have fresh air pushed through them near constantly, and that's why they're so efficient at absorbing oxygen.
