This is exactly why I’ve stayed working for the same company for the last 6 years. I could definitely go elsewhere and get paid more (job hopping for higher salary is pretty common in my field), but I seriously doubt they’d be as cool with my senior dog’s frequent vet appointments.

The problem is and has been humans.

Well, yeah, but unless you’re suggesting we exterminate the species, the answer must be regulating the way we interact with each other, like the person above suggested.

Eric Adams had approved a 5000 officer increase before he left office, but Mamdani scrapped that and budgeted for a 500 officer increase instead.

How about instead of casting speculations wildly and baselessly, you just read the damn article.

Well thank god we have heroes like you to remind us that our minor acts of resistance are completely pointless. God forbid we build up to anything 🙄

My DM had a similar problem with Common, but instead of removing it entirely he basically nerfed it. The in-game explanation is that it’s basically a cobbled-together system of hand signs and syllables that are supposed to be used to make trade possible between traveling merchants who don’t speak each other’s language; as a result, you can’t really use it to express anything more complicated than “I want that” or “give me this.” Rarely, he’ll let us roll if we want to try to convey some important information via Common, but otherwise we’re stuck behind a hard language barrier. It’s made the game more interesting, not least because of the charades-esque mini game we get to play every now and then lol

I have an exercise bike at home, so I’ve taken to dragging it into the living room and playing video games while I do an hour of zone 2. I end up finishing my hour before I even realize it; plus, trying not to get curbstomped in Elden Ring is incredibly conducive to keeping your heart rate up.

Never thought I’d see a bird described as “promiscuous” in a scientific article, but here we are I suppose.

What does not participating accomplish, exactly? Even if I’m unlikely to succeed, between a 0.0001% chance and a 0% chance, I’m going for the 0.0001% every time.

We know. Everyone knows. It’s just how we refer to the Democratic Party here. At this point, I think the only people who don’t know the difference are the ones wouldn’t care to make the distinction in the first place. Getting upset over it makes about as much sense as getting upset at British people for calling a sweater a jumper.

This is wack

You’re right, the Democrats chose to ignore what the Michigan voters were telling them. And in response, Michigan voters didn’t vote for Democrats, and the world got objectively worse as a result, because Trump was elected to office.

Democrats failed their constituents. And the constituents who didn’t vote out of protest allowed Trump to become president and make the world worse–even knowing that he was the worse option. Both of these things are true. We don’t have to pretend like it’s one or the other.

I find it very easy to blame presidents for high gas prices due to their reluctance to go after corporations.

It means they counted more votes than there are people who could have possibly voted. If Alaska had a voting-eligible population of 100, then they counted 114 votes. Which means there was significant voter fraud.

You’re right of course, but I think the intention was to illustrate that she (like the machine) is a dangerous object that will hurt you if you get too close.

Couldn’t you just, like… read something else though? Clearly these comics have an audience that appreciates them, and you’re not in it, and that’s okay. Pizza Cake’s comics aren’t doing any harm to the medium; all those comics you mentioned are still out there for you and everyone else to enjoy, no one is taking that away from you. It’s not some great shame to the art of comics for Pizza Cake’s content to just exist.

Like, I love reading books, but I’m not a fan of sappy romance novels. But I’d never suggest that people writing sappy romance novels are diminishing the medium; I just ignore them and move on with my life.

I agree with the sentiment, but can we please quit it with the Christian eschatology analogies? There are enough nutbags out there drawing the same comparisons as it is, except they take them literally and find them encouraging.

Plus, in my opinion, the more we equate these people with mythological figures of doom and dread, the harder it becomes to feel like we can actually do anything about them.

I think they were trying to point out the double standard here. As a Democrat, she gets hung out to dry over a tiny infraction, whereas Republicans are openly corrupt and face 0 consequences. They’re saying if she ran as a Republican this incident would never have been a problem because the bar is so low for them.

Oh neat, misogynistic and transphobic

Yep, fair enough. Didn’t even have to scroll that far

Tried this with a pair of swim goggles once. Worked with the onions, but got clowned so hard by my roommates I cried anyway 😭
