Fulchrum posted:We were always going to die anyway. People die all the time, walk it off. I died and then pulled myself up by my bootstraps back to the land of the living. I can't wait for the usual suspects to feel real conflicted between hating and loving Trump - he's technically on their side, yet he's burning everything they claim to stand for to the ground. Not that they ever prioritized consistency over fanaticism... and not like they were comprehensible before this mess happened. ... it's just going to be business as usual isn't it.

Not only did Obama not overuse executive orders, Trump willingly associating with something called "White Out" would be a public relations nightmare.

Hostile V posted:I mean it's kind of defeating the purpose if Humpty is still together, isn't it? What is this, the Affordable Care Act will survive any heights its detractors will go to in order to destroy it? It's batter and bruised and patchwork like the real ACA but it's fine and it works. All this cartoon does is make the elephant look guilty, like he came in on a stretcher and while the EMT's back was turned the elephant started beating the ACA with a hammer and got caught and is like "what? Me? No, I didn't do that". The elephant did everything it could to kill ACA, and is going "Seriously?" at it surviving and getting told to fix it. A reality-reflecting comic.

Extensive Vamping posted:I guess deliberately low-effort isn't the way to go, I'll actually fire up photoshop and try a funny joke for the next one How the gently caress are we supposed to recognize deliberately low-effort and stupid among the Gorrells and the Ramirezes? To do that you'd need to go double-meta subversive to the style of making The Modest Proposal as a restaurant menu in a fictional children's magazine. EDIT: Or a slice-of-life comic with main characters being "liberals" (or normal people) in the mad universe the Republicans would have to inhabit to not just be callous liars and bigots. endlessmonotony fucked around with this message at 09:56 on Jan 17, 2017 |

The delay sure made this into a brilliant AGC. I had completely forgotten the incident with the giant clusterfuck of late, and thus, I didn't recognize the context. And read it without one and found myself stunned by the self-awareness.

War Wizard posted:There's a lot of butt hurt guys that are super upset they didn't get a say in their circumcision. I'm really not particularly sure why it matters, I've always figured they just fetishize how uncut looks. Removing the foreskin has no benefit unless you're suffering from a specific medical problem, not in a world where "running clean water" and "condoms" exist. And it causes severe trauma to babies, makes the glans less sensitive, makes the penis more susceptible to injury and makes jerking off harder - and that's when nothing goes wrong and they don't lop off a chunk by accident and there's no infection. You'd have to be opposed to masturbation with a religious fervor to think it's a good idea once you know the facts. It's needless, awful surgery for babies that's routinely done for no reason other than tradition, and it should have been banned for decades by now. ... now I don't get how feminism is stopping this in any way, or why women supposedly are against men on this topic.

Being a cyborg isn't all it's cracked up to be. Wait, it's said to be suffering and struggling with augmented abilities. Oh wait yeah that's about right. If Musk likes cyborgs so much, why doesn't he augment himself? Oh wait, the nausea and the infections, probably. I didn't ask for this.

D.N. Nation posted:Corbyn is ineffectual as gently caress but at least looks like what a daddy's-money urban leftist podcaster thinks is revolutionary. Which makes him the best leader for any political party in Britain, possibly excluding Sturgeon if you really don't like Westminster running the country. Which, to be fair, is a completely sane opinion to have with this clusterfuck. Corbyn is an old fool not really up to date on anything... but he means well. With the clown show of incompetence and malice Britain is, this makes him better than any other choice that's shown up.

Begemot posted:Yeah I had to learn cursive in grade school. But I did not have to use it, ever, so I don't remember a bit of it. The kinds of cursive taught to kids are loving useless even with rarer pens, as someone who has disposable paper plates ready just in case ink spills when I'm filling my pen with a syringe. Cursive is a pretty good example of a good idea completely ruined by people who can't understand how it works, and focus more on it looking "refined" than functionality.

FaradayCage posted:...it's not. Like I said, even Maxwell didn't fully understand it. Even the basics are firmly rooted in second-year university math and physics. Entropy's a very simple concept, you can fairly easily grasp what it does. How it works is a more complex subject. Like understanding how a car engine works versus building a car.

Fulchrum posted:I mean, I don't want to be heartless here, and I know how it sounds, but, water exists (least outside of Michigan). I get that the tax does unfairly impact poorer families who drink a lot of soda, but those families can switch to just water if they are buying soda as a food staple rather than just something drunk occasionally. You say soda is a major contribution to diabetes and obesity, which is... not even a little bit proven. There's a correlation for sure, but there's also a very strong correlation between fatigue and obesity.

Discendo Vox posted:I linked that thread because it's where we've spent pages upon pages discussing current defects in nutrition research, several of which came to a head in the incorrect consensus around added sugar as the cause for US obesity, which is grounded in a bunch of pseudoscientific research. It's a better site for the sugar discussion. That's all. There's little to no sense keeping talking about this here; the in-depth research will keep publishing results as they come in, and in time "sugar causes obesity" will be just another page in the book "eggs cause heart disease" went in.

Discendo Vox posted:I don't know what the legal procedure is or who does it in those cases- but it's not going to be illegal. At worst it'll be quasi-legal and well-documented like in the GWB years. IC agencies don't really "just do things" anymore. I suspect where it's not, say, consulate staff, they do in fact hand it off to the FBI, to avoid potential confusion or conflict. But the narrative coming out of the leak news story is "omg is the Government spying on me through my toilet?!" The government is spying on you through your toilet only if your toilet is running Android.

21 Muns posted:This is an utterly foul cartoon, from the framing of preventing atrocities like gas attacks as "killing brown people" to the implication that Trump groping women isn't seriously evil. gently caress, even if Trump is killing brown people for no reason (and, to be fair to the cartoonist, he probably is, but the thing he's referring to in this comic, based on the talking points, is the airfield bombing in Syria, which isn't even killing anyone, let alone for no reason), that'd be better than him groping women; most presidents have killed brown people for no reason, but none of them have, AFAIK, violated women's boundaries before (except for Thomas Jefferson, I guess, but no one knew that at the time). War is lovely, but it's always been lovely; meanwhile, Trump is turning back women's rights to a time before our country's foundation, when they couldn't even vote. And this cartoon is just helping him right along by literally portraying his victims as inanimate objects. Is your gimmick being the worst at interpreting political cartoons?
