I think moreso people are judging you from the position of already having read the comic to see it’s fellow kids they know. Because heaven forbid a comment require a hypothetical not set in reality… People are quite dull, even (and sometimes especially) on the internet.

Get a cook top. Even nice ones are like 100 bucks. Even induction ones and compatible pans are cheap. Five or six fast food visits and you could’ve bought enough to cook a massive variety of cheap meals.

It infantalizes those qualities, so you are not so ironically being sexist while trying to speak against sexism.

You fool. You pay taxes on stock gains once they’re sold. You can write off donations… YOU are the one that would end up enriching the government with your money…

All about that Trillo

No, what I’m saying is you’re being as foolish as tankies when you buy that BS. Any communist worth the time of day understands ANY authoritarian is a piece of trash worth discarding, not honoring and cracking down on their neighbors for…

By subscribing to the horseshoe theory, you are implying that communism/socialism literally ARE headed toward the same place as fascism, instead of having been merely userped by authoritarians and the powerful. That is completely ignorant to the very intent of those political ideologies…

I’ve done the same thing just being absent minded. Removing the nail is something that’d probably have happened either way after it’s detached. It won’t grow, a new one should start from under it, and the dead one will just be an annoying hard thing hanging on to what ever skin is left attached. If part of it is still somehow stuck to the bed, it’s usually better to pull it out unless the majority is fine.

It took several months to grow a new big toe nail and it still feels funny (overly sensitive) to this day.

They conserve the status quo. They conserve the unjust power dynamics of the past. They conserve the positions of the rich and wealthy.

They conserve… It’s just nothing most average joes should want to conserve…

Many, many conservatives voted for dump to punish immigrants. Many, many people voted to “own the libs”, just like the person cited in this very post.

Please… point to the “empathy” in “owning the libs”. They might have the tiniest drop of empathy for some, but the problem is they have a lot more HATE for people they don’t even fucking know. That makes them terrible people no matter how much you say, “butbut they still have some empathy!”.

Yea, the problem is they have more hate than empathy.

Clearly, that doesn’t happen. Especially not always. We wouldn’t be in this fucking boat if everyone got what they deserved. For example: Trump does not deserve the whitehouse. Republicans don’t deserve power. Are they getting what they deserve?

People who believe in karma are clearly not paying attention. Not now, and not to history.

What if all days are bad and it becomes impossible to differentiate?

Isn’t the very article about economists taking a closer look at the general sex worker index more than merely saying someone called it?

If you are using a VPN, then sort of. It depends on the details. They need to at least be a no-log VPN for it to be remotely true, and even then, fingerprinting a user isn’t that difficult. Though for most, DDG is only a search engine, and a search engine definitely isn’t hiding squat on its own.

Nah, biology has a ton of systems that all interconnect. Pain feedback itself is a tiny fraction of what makes a real brain tick, and “AI” doesn’t have afraction of an equivalent. Of one solitary system.

No, brains are far, far more than statistical inference. Not that they cannot be reproduced, but they are far, far more than math machines.

I mean, if you’d stop to think for a moment, I’d think the stripper index does have some credence to it beyond the others exactly because of the things you cited…

Sex work is taboo, so the people who seek it are going to be the people who ostensibly “need” it. Most people can take or leave a theme park visit. People addicted to tits aren’t going to give it up so easily. So… the very reasons you question it are exactly why it is a stronger market indicator.

IMO, it’s all good if their pick isn’t just who ever is the hot item that year, and if the pick actually does a good job.

I mean, Kirk Lazarus was a great character that used blackface in the 2000s… So, I’d say yes, depending on the purpose of the character.

While bloomcole is a laughable clown, horseshoe theory is a pretty silly theory when you get in to the details. Communism itself does not turn in to fascism. Fascist authoritarians from history have simply stolen its language to convince rubes to give them power. Any actual communist should never herald any authoritarian.

Again, not defending the clown, but commenting on the silly horseshoe theory. The only people it holds true for are idiots that still love authority. (which the clown might be such a rube)

I mean… A shocking number of minorities voted for him, so at least some voted for the leopard eating faces party.

That would require religion to be correct and its god to actually do anything. Neither of those things are true.
