As shitty as our country is, it’s full of great people, too. I don’t think it’s TOO big of a stretch to suggest it might have been deliberate. Tons of veterans return further left than when they enlisted, certainly a few have read Simple Sabotage Field Manual.pdf

Remember this: Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they’ve already enlisted in the cause.

People in my city successfully blocked Flock…but we’re surrounded by 3 cities who didn’t.

It’s harmless but it’s deliberately antisocial which rubs people the wrong way. They’re going out of their way to make their comments harder to reader.

I’ve never had a bad interaction with them but I do think it’s kind of obnoxious attention-seeking behavior

I recognize your name and have no negative memories of your comments

Triples exist and they’re safe

As funny as it would be to launch him into the sun, that’s not the best option.

It would be WAY funnier for him to directly suffer the consequences of his demands. Imagine the headlines.

“Trump Skips Health Checks For Space Travel, Dies On Liftoff”

You can selectively shift hues pretty easily in photoshopa

He’s right. We should try it.

I would love to see what happens to 40 BMI at 4G.

Just be sure to double bag him so his shit doesn’t leak. The crew doesn’t deserve that.

Yeah right! Next you’re gonna tell me the sportsball mascot doesn’t sleep in their uniform!

Lol yeah the US is a real bastard here for being friendly to the foreign leader they’re hosting. Really good take, you should run for office

Not sure why you think I’d take offense to that? You asked who the purple guy was. It’s the guy in the screenshot this comic was made in response to.

And that’s kinda the big difference. This comic is in response to a screenshot of a video where Sam Altman really said that line. The other comic exists solely for the artist to have a bland take on AI.

But I do agree there might be some holdover resentment from r/comics, though not in the way you’re describing. She was a prolific posters and often the political posts just felt like reaction bait. I really liked a lot of her non-political comics but IMO she rarely has anything clever to say about politics

I don’t know his name. Look at the bluesky link, the artist based this on a screenshot from the video

The punchline isn’t very good but how is this “basically the same thing”? There’s no self-insert character saying something commendable

They should do the same thing with Ghost Busters!

And yet it got posted and upvoted here. Guess we’re not much smarter

There’s another comic that does it all the time, a caricature says something stupid just so the protagonist (another self-insert, go figure) can declare a popular opinion. Sometimes, another character will even comment on how smart they are lol

It’s definitely cheaper but it being easier is debatable. It takes wayyyy more effort to shave 90 times than to make a stop after work to sit for 20 minutes.

And I made it pretty clear I wasn’t talking about vanity. I just don’t love having to put a sharp blade to my head first thing every morning for it to not look like a crackhead.

People always say this but, even putting aesthetics aside, I’d choose a full head of hair any day.

You talk about the speed of shaving but don’t say you have to do it every day or it looks like shiiiit. I used to go 2-3 months between haircuts and they cost $20+tip

Wow incredible suggestion, surely this is what OP was looking for. Thank you.

This is so…unimpressive?
