Isn’t that the same? If you’re eating peanut butter and chocolate together frequently, you’re probably not long for this world…

They are built to very rigorous explosive engineering standards!

Well, I was thinking more about the other ones.

Well, the explosives exploded.

I’d just like to make the point that there are a lot of these explosives factories making explosives around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that explosives aren’t safe.

Definitely, they were blown away.

That is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.

That’s not how this is meant to work. The courts shutting down a law is a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell’s about to break loose.

The United Citizen Federation approves of this message.

Shutting down the US government is just below singing happy birthday in Spanish on my challenge difficulty scale, y yo hablo español.

I’m not convinced those grandpas didn’t just happen to be asleep and closed the government by accident.

That’s where you’re drawing the line? The whole nation is eating itself from the inside, and the only thing the Dems are capable of seems to be pointing at something and saying “you shouldn’t do that”.

And what are they gonna do about it? Nothing? Yeah, figures.

What kind of scissors are you posh people buying, that come in boxes?

Ah so close. This comic should end with

“I did my own research”

But whose turn is it?

I’m calling it now: the 9-banded armadillo will be adopted as Canada’s mascot in the next decade, after they become the main species in the Canadian deserts.

Wrong way of thinking, buddy boy.

If you can’t afford to go without pay for 2 weeks now, then where do you think you’ll be in 2 years time?

Act now while you’re breathing, for the sake of being able to breathe.

That’s not the correct approach, brother. Especially newer congressmen will be dependent on this income to live, and this would make them even more likely to be held hostage by the guys with fat pockets.

The problem here is that the consequences are exclusively shouldered by the people, when in fact it should be the administration who gets punished: if they’re unable to compromise on a budget, then they need to get kicked out so that the country doesn’t stop.

If there’s no way of passing the budget with a new administration, then call for new elections and see how the chips fall.

This is 100% correct. In most civilised countries, if a yearly budget cannot be approved, the whole cabinet gets disbanded.

Usually this leads to a new president (usually, a PM) getting appointed, but ultimately would lead to new elections.

Historically, the gay community endured widespread social condemnation, often framed in the language of deviance, mental illness, and a threat to societal norms.

Homosexuality was classified as a psychiatric disorder by the American Psychiatric Association until 1973. This pathologization served as a justification for discrimination in employment, housing, and public life.

You have to be purposely blind to miss the parallels with the struggles and pains that trans people face today

Now you’re cool with gay people, but remember how up until quite recently, not even medical professionals accepted it? Because you’re on the wrong side of the fence when it comes to trans people, you just haven’t caught up.

Bodycam footage has got to be one of the best measures ever implemented.

It’s a huge step towards accountable police forces, as we’ve seen in so many police abuse cases. Now we need to overturn their immunity, so that the murderers and abusive power tripping assholes don’t get to just walk away freely.

But it also works to defend the police, and there’s so much bodycam footage on YouTube of people acting like massive dickwads, and I swear to god, the restraint on many officers is godlike, I’d have bashed their faces by the 2nd time they called me something wildly abusive, let alone hear it 100 times over 30 minutes and still remain calm.

Can someone enlighten me as to what is M$ doing this time?

I had to install windows the other day on my kids laptop, and had to skip like 10 screens of Microsoft ads and then disable OneDrive, but saw nothing about Dropbox.

Edit: my household has been using Mint for a few years now, the m$ enshitification was just too much for us. I only had to install windows on my kids school laptop because they won’t accept anything else…

Snake?
