MAGA’s arch nemesis… MEGA.


China has extremely tough restrictions about what information can legally leave the country, so I wouldn’t be surprised if China has a similar restrictions as this for the US.


Cancer will be cured
This one sticks out to me because the question is too vague. If it said, “All forms of cancer will be cured,” which is logically equivalent to the one given, then the only answer for anybody who knew anything about the subject is “no.”
So, it seems that either people misunderstood the question, or don’t know enough about cancer to realize that it’s really a collection of terrible diseases that, at our current level of understanding, seem to need different treatments.

I’ve often thought about buying a sailboat and traveling around the world. Now seems like a bad time, though, since the US military will murder people just on suspicion of crimes.


Since we know that RFK Jr lacks conviction as much as he lacks scruples, that seems an unlikely outcome.
That’s the real reason they kept losing their extremities.

I bought it because everybody said it was good. I’ve tried playing it several times, and I can completely understand that it’s good, but I always end up abandoning it before a year is up in game.


Yeah, imagine a world where Donald Trump actually had a friend.


The student deserved a grade of 0, but sadly it seems the grad student walked into this trap and unwittingly became the foot stool from whence this vapid bimbo will launch her Kirk career.
Let’s not forget that her mother is a right wing nutjob lawyer who seems to have been heavily involved in this incident. So, there is a strong nepo baby element here, as well.
The student herself seems like an incompetent loser who wouldn’t go anywhere on her own, so without her mommy’s pressure, I doubt she could have anything like a Kirk career.


I wanted more context than this article offered.
There is a lot of extra detail in the Wikipedia article.
The key background points were that this was for a psychology class and the essay’s topic was a research paper about gender typicality in middle school students. Ranting about trans people is pretty far off-topic, but there’s some wiggle room in the grading.
The key identity-related point is that the instructor is a trans gender grad student and originally gave her a zero. A cis gender person re-graded the essay and also gave it a failing grade, but apparently not a zero. The college is apparently only punishing the trans person, and is completely wiping out the grade for the essay, despite it being re-graded.
So, it seems this is not only about rewarding a student for writing mindless nonsense due to her Christianity. It’s also strongly about punishing the teacher simply because she is a trans woman.
Nobody says that message in the 2nd panel, right?
I’m guessing it’s been said a lot. Something like, “You shouldn’t care about animals suffering when there are humans suffering.” That sort of BS.


I believe that there is nothing Donald Trump wouldn’t do if you paid him enough money.
The nicest thing about new year’s resolutions is that nobody is forcing you to make any.


The White House previously said that Trump’s hand looked that way because he shook so many hands. So, how can they explain it on his left hand? Did he get it from jerking off two horses at once or something?


I think including the listener is stretching it. I think it’s pretty straightforward that “we” refers to Billy Joel’s generation.
I remember there was this story about a business. I think it was a brokerage. But anyways, they gave out large bonuses at Christmas, thinking that this would encourage employees to work harder.
But instead, it had the exact opposite effect. The stock brokers worked most of the year, but when it came to December, they basically stopped working because of the bonuses. They knew by around November generally how well they did compared to the other stock brokers, and so they knew what kind of bonus to expect in December.
The problem was that even if they worked really hard in December, they were unlikely to earn a much bigger bonus, but there was a higher possibility that they’d screw up, which could reduce their bonus by a lot. So, if they worked hard in December, it could only make their bonus go down. So, they didn’t work hard.
