That comic is almost as surprising as the term. Humor has changed so much. You’d never get away with that much dialog in a comic these days.

Galvanized iron blankets sound like what the military would issue.

Note that these are emergency powers he’s using. Supposedly this is a crisis.

Brandon. Look up Mistborn. Steelheart and The Stormlight Archives are good too.

I appreciate your knack for understatement.

…or they’re on the take as well.

If you cannot see how often the US has been the invader, overthrowing a small country’s government for their resources, I don’t know what to tell you.

Nobody cares about wooly mammoths. This is a test of gene editing techniques that can eradicate genetic diseases.

Lots of people like Microsoft and/or don’t know any better.

I think 10% of people believe nearly anything. It’s basically the rounding error for a survey.

Honestly, if you had asked me 10 minutes ago “Is MacOS based on Linux?” I would have gotten it wrong. But if you asked “Is MacOS based on UNIX or Linux?” I would have gotten it right.

When you say “feminism has been hijacked by career sociopaths” what are you specifically talking about?

Shitty title. Business school professors claim they trained an AI to judge workers’ personalities based on their faces.

The article talks about why that is such a stupid and terrible proposal.

If we are ever invaded by monkeys with balloons, I am ready to serve.

The trouble is that hitting the inside of the bump gets deflected towards the chest, which you really don’t want. Armor should be uniboob with a peak in the center deflecting outward.

I think it’s used in a lot of ways that isn’t “drinking a glass of milk”. I suspect most milk is poured over cereal. It’s also used a lot in cooking, but insisting on raw milk to bake with seems especially weird.

Maybe the joke isn’t particularly fair, maybe it doesn’t really need to be.

You have logical reasons to avoid antibiotics and preservatives. Someone might not agree, but whatever the case, you made that decision based on some amount of evidence.

Raw milk though… I think the meme is correct to equate anger with pasteurization as a denial of germ theory. We pasteurize and refrigerate for the same reason: to keep bacteria from growing. It is a fair question: if pasteurization is unnecessary, why is refrigeration necessary? Avoiding preservatives doesn’t beg the same question.

Quite a few weirdos, really.

I know that Republicans spent 2020 looking for bamboo in ballots, but haven’t been able to find even hand recounts in swing states. I think Democrats are so invested in being “good losers” that there has not been enough investigation into an election where Republicans certainly cheated as much as they were able to.

I don’t know where you’re searching, but the earth is usually pretty visible at the horizon.

I don’t really get the joke. So much of what they said was nonsense. Just about everything.
