I like how the colorist for #40 was still like “I’ve got a job to do and I’m gonna do it!”

While Ziggy jived them that they were voodoo.

In the US basically anything paved is pavement.

Asphalt road: Pavement

Concrete sidewalk: Pavement

Giant parking lot: Pavement

Gravel road: Believe it or not - paveme… well that one’s debatable.

When you inflate a balloon with your breath is it more bouyant?

That is exactly the difference between weight and mass. And yes, that would be weightless and objects like balloons have negative weight until they reach an altitude where they’re neutrally bouyant and then are weightless.

Weight is defined as a force and has a direction. That’s what causes the movement. If the weight didn’t change there would be no movement.

No you leave it on in the shower.

Obviously implied? So there’s nothing in my comment that directly contradicts that and will make you look really silly in a moment?

This will come as an absolute shock to you. You can vote for someone you criticize…

Which party was it that dogpiles on anyone that dares criticize their shitty candidates again?

The point of saying it before the election is that the expectations are set.

Yes. Exactly! The reason people keep bitching about Harris and genocide is because they hope something might actually happen about it.

Biden was an absolutely terrible candidate (that I was going to vote for) and probably the only person who could lose against Trump. Because people constantly bitched about how bad he was they changed the candidate.

Harris doesn’t get to use Trump as a not-as-bad-as screen, and given that we don’t have the option of not voting for her, everyone should be applying every other available form of pressure to discourage her from enabling genocide or otherwise maintaining the status quo.

Somehow people think that pointing out that anyone who isn’t Trump are pro-genocide means that Trump somehow isn’t pro-genocide.

Like you’re not allowed to think about two problems at once. Or that there are no other options…

I thought this was mostly a Mercator projection joke with a tiny amount of weather joke, but that doesn’t seem to be the consensus.

How about killing thousands of people overnight with no meaningful consequences?

Yes, shockingly, the definitions of words are semantics!

And to literally ask if something meets a definition then try to dismiss the response as semantic while offering your own incorrect definition is fantastically silly.

Gangs are structured groups of people that exist to generate profit illegally.

Unincorporated businesses are structured groups of people that exist to generate profit legally.

Incorporated businesses are structured groups of people that exist to generate profit legally with the special legal status of personhood.

Part of the point @mark3748@sh.itjust.works was making is that corporations are nearly identical to other organizations, even illegal ones, except they have a legal status that lets them do far more damage.

A corporation by definition benefits from the law.

Corporations are businesses that have been given the the legal rights of a person. As if they had a body. Or corpus, if you will.

Short version: the Nazis lost but the fascists won.

WWII basically ended in fascists vs fascists - Nazi Germany pulled a lot of their ideas from the US and before Pearl Harbor the US stance was ambivalent. They thought Hitler had some good points, but it would be OK if he lost.

“Subcom” sounds like a bad movie genre or a very niche porn fetish.

The particulate matter, specifically heavy metals, go through the roof.

There’s also a bunch of paperwork involved in removing those measurements from the pollution data sets with a rule that gives a pass for fireworks.

The complaint the photographer is making is that it’s an actual photograph where a small portion is made or changed with AI.

They list expanding the edges of the image to change the aspect ratio, and removing flaws or unwanted objects etc.

Removing flaws and objects at least is a task that predates modern computers - people changed the actual negatives - and tools to do it have improved so much a computer can basically do it all for you.

I think people should just say how they modified the image - AI or not - since airbrushed skin, artificial slimming, and such have been common complaints before AI manipulation, and AI just makes those same problematic things easier.

Just Stop Oil targets culturally significant objects to highlight that the viewer’s outrage at direct attacks on those objects is greater than the viewer’s outrage at the same attacks against those objects by the creators of climate change.

If throwing washable paint on Stonehenge pisses you off, you should be even more angry at big oil for progressively destroying the entire planet. Any call for the arrest and immediate punishment of Just Stop Oil members should also match calls for the immediate punishment of big oil execs.

It’s juvenile, but it’s pointed.
