Get the fuck out of here. Bigotry is judging people before you know them. We know who the democratic leadership is. There are plenty of old progressives, and almost none of them are running for something. You need young people to get involved in order to replace the old people who have died.
The DNC is hobbled by oligarchs who don't want Progressives to achieve any of their goals. The GOP is bolstered by oligarchs who want Conservatives to achieve all of their goals.
I don't know if you wrote this or heard it, but it's an excellent joke.
Sure, but how about all the swims of all the people who never get attacked by sharks? This one is for attention.
I think we have enough money for both, and we don't spend enough on either.
There are a lot of things people do that kill sharks or make the waters uninhabitable for sharks. When people hear that, they think "good, I don't want to get et by a shark when I go swimmin" because that's how they talk. This is supposed to draw attention to how sharks don't actually pose a threat to swimmers, and highlight their importance in the aquatic ecosystems.
Don't worry, Putin will tighten the genital cuff and Trump will stop banging on his pots.
It's what happens when overqualified people are given a project nobody believes in so nobody is invested enough to meddle, and the end product is far better than anyone expected or thought to take credit for.
History makes fools of us all.
If a 17 year old buys a sex toy, who are they hurting? Assuming they use it properly. Isn't it worse if they have to ask an adult to buy it for them? Shouldn't we be more concerned about the adults who want to stand on the wall between underage teens and the sex toys they want?
If this dopey motherfucker actually did this, I'd support it. Harvard can survive on less, and trade schools should be cheaper to encourage people learning trades.
But that's not what's happening, not even a little bit. The money isn't being redirected to where it will do more good. It's being withheld for corrupt personal reasons, and the "thought" of using it for so me thing productive is half-formed horseshit that is never going to materialize.
This is a technique Trump uses to deflect criticism, although I think it's too stupid to have a name. Let's call it the Ball Gargle. It's an idea that, in retrospect, sounds like it might be a good idea, but it's probably impossible and definitely never going to happen. So Trump does something obviously corrupt and deeply unpopular among people who aren't total fucksticks. When the people who aren't total fucksticks complain, Trump suggests ball gargling, and the fucksticks go "Yeah, see, that sounds good!" But Trump isn't going to gargle any balls, and even if he tries it wouldn't be any form of anything anyone anywhere wants.
I mean, I wasn't actually confused, but I did think of the casino first.
Come again? 👂 🤚
Yep. I'm not sure how Lemmy works yet, but if there's any sort of algorithm, it has accurately figured out that I'm a fan, but I'm not actively following almost anyone yet.
Scared because he was high? You shouldn't drive while high.

Does this warrant an NSFW tag? Eh, I don't think so.
But just because this is your community doesn't mean you don't need NSFW tags in general. I'm not subscribed or following you (although I enjoy your comics) and I'm seeing this post in my primary feed. I generally block NSFW content because my kids occasionally pick up my phone and I don't want to have inappropriate content open. I wouldn't really want them reading this comment, but they probably wouldn't understand it even if they did.
I thought they meant The Luxor in Las Vegas, and was really surprised.
This is the anwer. You could always homebrew your own game and try to balance it, and you'd start to find where the game breaks. Play 10,000 games like that, and patterns will emerge. Game developers spend a lot of time playtesting, and they still miss things. Just thinking of a new twist and asking why it doesn't work is like asking why cars don't have six wheels.
