See this is the difference between the left and the right. You see a huge list of policies and focus on the one that you have some nebulous objection to, ignore everything else and don’t even have a substantive criticism of what you apparently don’t like. The right will see a big list of policies, focus on the one they agree with, and claim that everything else is just nonsense and won’t really be enacted. Ideological purity, smh. The perfect is the enemy of the good.

Well I think the original comic achieves more than the barest effort then. We have the setup (why seatbelt on plane?), the vaguely dark-humoured explanation, the absurdist ‘oh ok that makes sense’ as the punchline (where, y’ know, a lot of the humour is because so many people identify with that ‘i don’t care if the truth is dark I just want to know’ idea). Anyway. Not lazy.
So would you consider it, potentially… lazy?
And you think that’s… High effort?
Most do though
I am so torn between a trollish ‘no fuck you’ and a genuine ‘samesies’ and it’s left me emotionally vulnerable in a way I’m deeply uncomfortable with. Fuck you.
You’re what’s called a ‘single issue cunt voter’ and frankly it’s stupid
How… How do you think most jokes work?
Dude you’re arguing with a horse
Gnome 3 is pretty great
Well, depends on the clown. Some are just tragic…
Which of the 4 ongoing genocides would that be then?
I use arch in my boxers. Usually haven’t made it to socks, but if I had arch sock you better believe they’d be sexy. I use arch btw.
The precious
Oh my god I didn’t know it was still up anywhere. I regret not getting a copy of the book way back when but I was a student and had no money. It was a very good comic.
No. It’s all a bit hand-wavy and nebulous tbh; I think the only leg it’ll have to stand on will be if and when entanglement effects are seen to have a predictive power over complex states that we simply haven’t seen; and IMO at that point it ceases to be an argument about consciousness anyway
Not that I’ve seen
Well yeah I think even the first month was abhorrent and once the Palestinian health ministry started to lose track of the actual dead, which was basically about a month or two in, it was obviously an atrocity that was, if not already genocide (yeah it was), at least sparkling ethnic cleansing with a familiar bouquet. There is no excuse for that, and weapon provisions to Israel should’ve been immediately withheld indefinitely in the aftermath. No question. But permitting the guy who not only wants to speed up that process, but is also awful on a thousand other metrics, to take the reins is probably a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face…
