Soft attempt at blacklisting.

The problems aren’t the treatments, the problems are still the assholes pricing the treatments that exacerbate issues with treatment affordability and selection.

After a while there is no conversion necessary. 5 pm is 5 pm is 17:00. They are the same. UTC to local however can get fucked. Time zone variables, daylight standard/savings variables, no thanks.

Plenty of them do.

They just don’t fetishize them, treat them like fashion accessories, or wear them like an identity badge on their sleeves the way right-wingers do.

“Nothing will stop real artists from making art.”

I think this is kinda an empty sentiment. Nobody is trying to stop artists from making art. They’re just trying to stop paying a lot of them for their art.

Republicanistan, run by the talibangelicals and y’all qaeda. Magastan works, too.

Asexual doesn’t mean you can’t appreciate aspects of the human body.

Hmm. The first one is true if it’s voluntary. Otherwise, involuntarily being constantly redirected can be a real problem.

Doesn’t matter if they’re “made up”.

The conditions that precipitated those words have always existed. The resistance to creating the terms doesn’t make the conditions not exist, it just means that the disagreeable person can justify to themselves that they don’t have to acknowledge them if they can avoid the words.

IOW, terms can help legitimize. They don’t want the conditions legitimized so they don’t have to acknowledge them.

Agreed. The flaw in the system is people. I hate to say it with the context of this comic, but the solution unfortunately isn’t “no rules” anarchy. That’s similar to the libertarian view, which somehow relies on the idea that if you get rid of regulation corporations and people will suddenly behave well by themselves when in fact history has proven time and again that it just turns into a big power grab. Corporations start dumping waste everywhere, get rid of environmental and worker protections, etc. whatever it takes to get ahead and make the most money. Same for people. There might be some places that can sort out some kind of effective shared governing and resource managment, but that still means rules, not anarchy.

Rules and laws keep people, the rich, and corporations from running roughshod. Problem is that those same people try to bend and shape those rules so that they can get away with doing just that. There is no “win” and being done, it’s a never-ending battle against greed.

“Highly regarded sculptor”

Yep. Lettering on the book is AI gibberish. He’s got a “4 pack” instead of a 6 pack. Lots of things wrong.

Then maybe “Gulf of the Americas” would be more appropriate.

It’s not just eye contact, there’s all the rest of it too including other body language and how you’re speaking to someone.

That said, I used to occasionally hang with a guy that chased all the girls (the kind of guy that would ignore you as soon as a girl he could be interested in showed up) and he would all but stare at her in conversation. Made me uncomfortable by proxy, lol. Seemed effective, but that’s what he did.

That’s some dystopiain stuff right there. Like a quote from the bad guy in a film who is both wrong and right.

/boomerhumor, because every generation that comes after is stupid.

Fuck this fascist playbook he’s running.

A wannabe Goebbels. Propaganda officer.

Yes.
