There are definitely exceptions. All of the comics mentioned here are people who peaked a decade or more ago, and most of them are extremely out of touch. There are a lot of more contemporary comics who are doing a great job. I don't see Josh Johnson or Ashley Gavin or Gianmarco Soresi or like the people on Dropout showing up to something like this. There's a whole generation of great comics, a lot of them coming out of UCB, who are funnier, wittier, and wiser than any of these clowns.

Imagine portraying Homelander judging anything as an argument for agreeing with him.

If that's meant to be the DNC, okay.

If that's meant to be people who made an argument for coalition politics and not straight up forfeiting an election to the worst presidential candidate anyone could find lying around to stuff into a diaper and a suit and put behind a podium.. that's not really the same thing.

Gavin Newsom is not, at the moment, running for president. He's not sitting opposite some extreme right-winger serving as a disappointing but necessary defensive line between us and things getting much worse. He's an asshole who happens to be a Democrat and is the current governor of a state where he's actively making things worse. He, like Harris, would clearly be leaning toward the right to try to win center votes.

The reasonable strategic move to make for anyone who wants the government in the US to shift to the left is to make it clear that while his humiliating Trump is useful, he is not a viable candidate. Supporting him now would be backing a lame horse that's literally still in the stable during a time where we should be finding the healthiest, fastest horse we possibly can. That is not the same as if he were in an election right now and were the only way to prevent a Trump from getting into office.

I'm trans. I hope Newsom falls off a cliff. But if he had been running against Trump instead of Harris I would have held my nose and checked the box, because strategy isn't about throwing a fit until you get the scenario you want, it's about doing what you can with the hand you've got.

Right now what we can do is toss his ass away and draw another card from the deck before we end up being forced to play him.

We've been together for a long time..

But picture this: not being together.

This is me. Literally any time a day I could be just getting up or just going to sleep or in the middle of my day or in the middle of my sleep.

Pretty sure those are just traffickers.

What? I asked what makes you certain that the dock isn't designed for it. If you're certain, presumably you have a reason for this certainty and already know the specs from looking at it. I can't see into your mind to know your motivation for making this assertion, which is why I asked.

I assume you have some expertise that makes this obvious to you, so would you like to share it?

What makes you say the dock isn't designed to carry equipment?

It's much more effective to fracture a group by pretending to be part of it than by leveling criticism from the outside.

Absolutely. It's just getting more obvious as the tasks get more complex.

This just makes me think of Captain Planet. He knew how to solve these sorts of issues. By beating up assholes and making them stop.

These should be illegal. It's just a way of outsourcing AI training to the general public for free.
