Thankfully as we’re all breaking into our 40s, we have finally reached a point our society expected of us by 25. All it took was the slow deaths of our families.

But our kids are gonna be fucked! Thanks boomer for telling us that should make us feel better like it apparently did your generation.

The bread, ham, and cheese are all separately regulated.

The nuance between open faced sandwich vs closed sandwich comes down to a final product, So think producing prepackaged food for sale as a federally regulated facility, more than making a sandwich in your kitchen.

And at any rate on any functional level it will be your local health jurisdiction that’s really going to get involved if a regulator ever had to.

That is the end result, yes. It will likely be anything but for reasoning or rationalizing the program into existence.

Newsweek has been unable to independently verify the video or Zelensky’s allegations.

Awesome.

Like NK soldiers are there and we know they’re there. This explanation doesn’t seem to pass the straight face test.

3x3 Bingo? Please. 5x5 or go home.

…Man I miss State Department Bingo.

The Devils Panties tends to use that character to depict an amalgamation of Gamergate, Rapist Brock Allen Turner, Kyle Rittenhouse, and every online debatebro combined, and so the other characters are written to react to him in such a way.

How is this porn? Planes dont wear clothes.

Then… what is the lingerie stuff it is removing?

Non-violence is often and most effectively a direct threat of imminent violence.

Or as a promise for the cessation of ongoing violence.

Drone kill footage is like the reciepts of investment, if not the product itself.

Those are some load bearing bumpers.

ICBMs missing their targets tends to mean more ICBMs get fired.

And at a certain point the targets really don’t matter.

Most humans are priced out of their dignity at even risking a $2000/hr expense.

Advertising is a racket. Always has been.

I never really felt Russia had much of a dog in the Syrian Civil War. I always assumed their interest in Assad was purely to grind American efforts in the region.

Willing to bet they’ll just as soon support the new regime or its opposition based on the same calculus.

The community is based on fandom of a podcast that champions antagonizing liberals.

They encourage vocally expressing disagreement and disapproval and don’t have downvotes to facilitate that.

This runs counter to most instances that tend to prefer disagreement and disapproval be expressed quietly through downvotes.

So they tend to culture clash.

In the one example with the grocery co-op: I can assure you, few if any, of the people involved with the co-op were Marxist-Leninists, let alone comfortable with Marxism or the ‘S’ word. So that was kind of a critical flaw in any Marxist-Leninist theory in practice.

A lot of people practice forms of community action without having any sort of class consciousness. A wealthy philanthropist can offer a bunch of money with strings attached and people will jump at the promises without second thought and rarely keep up with the follow-through.

Point I was making nonetheless was these operations tend to exist under seige from competing and profiteering interests. If I remember correctly the grocery co-op was having issues making the skyrocketing rent payments for the commercial lot. That was the problem the money solved: the one created by the landlord.

So in a sense I was saying ‘the pressures of capital tend to be too great’ than money being tempting or greed from the community.

They are run out of business, most simply.

The operation that does not focus their profits on building further capital and establishing monopoly will fail in the arms race of those that do.

For example: there are countless community and public efforts establishing childcare and pre-k through pooled resources. They are in direct competition with things like Bezos’ childcare academies. (Personal anecdote: they bought out my kids’ building for public pre-k and evicted them.)

And a successful co-op will get pressure to be bought out like a start-up. (Often starts as a great way to expand! Then the expansion changes the culture, the new location feels corporate and the original location is later shut down and left vacant. -Also personal anecdotes for a grocery co-op and an employee owned operation I once worked at.)

Dude seems pretty sanguine about being put in this position in panel 1.

If you’re capable of identifying a bad take on the internet, I wouldn’t worry about it.

But now that artillery gunner at the Somme aimed their next shot just a tick over to meet its mark…

And now Jenkins survives…
