This comic reminds me of the same gripe I had with the movie Click.

The message seems to be “Life is short and precious, so appreciate every moment, because it’ll be over before you know it.” Which sounds nice, and sweet, and thoughtful, and is complete and utter horse shit.

There are times when life just plain sucks. When it’s boring or tedious or even torturous, and it would be 100% worth skipping if you could. When you have a headache at the airport and have just found out your flight has been delayed by 3 hours. When your tooth cracks at 4am and you’re waiting for hours in agony until a dentist opens up. When you finished a long work day and just want to get home and collapse, only to find the roads are blocked in a massive traffic jam. These are not fulfilling experiences. You do not learn or grow in any way, except to become more tolerant to enduring unfulfilling experiences. Of course it would be better if you could skip those things!

Everyone in the comments speculating, but no one bringing up the obvious: for the past couple years, 90% of the posts and replies in those kinds of subreddits have been bots. It’s become painfully obvious when you look. Dead Internet Theory in action.

Rogue One came out 9 years ago

Same punishment as a brick, or acid, or a bunch of razors. Really makes you think.

Better ban the ocean then. I heard millions of people decide to go swimming in it every day and some of them drown.

Is a picture of a sunset art? If the photographer chose a particularly scenic view and took several pictures before deciding on the one they felt was best, is that not art? Does the photographer have to, personally, hike to find the vantage point and take the picture for it to be art? Can they use a drone instead? How about just feeds from a camera someone set up? If the person looks through a feed and takes some high quality screenshots of a particularly vivid sunset that moves them, and decides to frame it and display it, is it disqualified from being art because they didn’t create the sunset and just selected the image from a series of images they were looking at? Is it slop if they decide to digitally remove a tree that was blocking the view?

This is the problem I have. Every argument against AI art inevitably closes the door against some other form of art that the arguer would otherwise consider acceptable. I know you’re not going to like or accept this answer, but the reason it’s so hard to have an argument that only applies to AI art and not any other forms of art is because AI art IS art.

It’s art, because art is subjective. The moment you start trying to define it or gatekeep it, the meaning will slip through your fingers like grains of sand.

Sorry, they’ve been defunded. Best they can do is have a guy from Fox News with no scientific background waddle out and claim Climate Change is a hoax made up by the demoncRATS. Maybe blame it on the Jews too, if AIPAC hasn’t been donating as much lately.

Because it’s the New York Young Republican Club? It’s not any actual politicians calling for this. It’s a bunch of incel trolls jerking themselves off to videos of Andrew Tate and having wet dreams about how fucking funny it is for America to do a fascism.

No they aren’t.

While this has been true in the past, most people are done with giving MAGA Traitors any benefit of the doubt. They’ve worn that out. Nobody trusts ANYTHING they say anymore.

“I spend all my time on the internet and don’t have the first fucking clue how people in the real world think”

Yea, Israel is pretty shitty and terrible. Still a country.

Even in that comment chain, it references that Jordan signed a peace treaty with them. So at one point they did, in fact, recognize it as a country.

They have a seat at the UN. They have passports recognized by every developed nation. They have treaties and engage in international trade with other nations. They fit every definition of a country. They are, in fact, a country.

Once again, just because you don’t like them and think they shouldn’t exist, doesn’t change their status as a country. I personally don’t like North Korea, but I don’t go around claiming it’s not a real country, because that would be a fucking stupid claim to make.

Well that’s just fucking stupid. The world has accepted Israel as a country for almost 80 years. You can hate them, you can say they never should have existed in the first place, but they are an actual country that actually exists. Even if they get completely wiped out and destroyed, every history book will still start out with “Israel was a country…”.

Pretending like they aren’t a country by putting quotes around their name comes across as extremely childish. Like a little kid who’s angry at their parents so they start calling them by their first name instead of “mom and dad”. Doesn’t matter how awful they are, doesn’t matter how much the child stomps their feet or what they say, it doesn’t even matter if they emancipate themselves later and legally change their name. Nothing will change the fact that they are the child’s, actual, literal parents.

If the author is really trying to pettily claim Israel isn’t a country by putting quotes around their name, then that’s just shitty journalism relying on personal emotions instead of unbiasedly presenting facts. And yes, I am aware that’s how most journalism is these days, but that doesn’t make it better.

No, I think you really need to expand on this horse shit you’re trying to sling.

Please explain how your family’s situation got worse. NOT why healthcare is still a mess, because it is, but how your situation got WORSE after the ACA was passed. What was better about your situation before the ACA?

The best way I’ve seen it put; the GOT ending was so bad, it made you feel ashamed for liking the show in the first place.

Many Hispanics have a “Fuck you. I got mine” mentality and hate illegal immigrants, not recognizing that the hatred the right has for “illegal immigrants” doesn’t actually include the word “illegal”.

Many Hispanics are brain rotted Catholics who wholeheartedly believe gay people are an abomination, this they support anyone who seems to be against LGBT rights.

Latino social media is FILLED with right wing propaganda. You may be thinking “yea, yea, I have Facebook. I see rightwing stuff too.” but you do not get it. For over a decade now, rightwing influencers have been pushing HARD into Spanish speaking corners of the internet, and now, rightwing talking points are basically the norm. Every Spanish social media site looks like a Fox News comment section.

People always seem shocked at the amount of Hispanic support the right gets, but it’s not much of a mystery when you look at their communities.

Not during locktober they’re not

They are untouchable. They may lose power. In a fantasy scenario, they may even be barred from office. But there is no scenario, even in fantasy, where these rich fucks will spend a single day in prison. The best we can hope for is them dying from old age, or quietly fading away.
