There’s a reason why the vast majority of the US celebrated when one millionaire, mass-murdering piece of refuse was gunned down in the street.
Imagine the party that would erupt if it were one of Donald’s golf buddies.
A lot of people are seem to be fans of murder.
Personally, I see it as a waste. I’m partial to creating a project to establish a mining colony in the asteroid belt, and sending them there, never to return.
The thing that a lot of people forget about the French revolution is that much of the same ruling class stayed in power and it was mostly common people that got the guillotine under the guise of revolution. If we were to establish a mining colony, Trump and JD Vance might get sent to space but the same institutions and practices would stay in place under a different name because I assume we’d be mining for profit. Let’s find a way instead to dismantle capitalism.
Costs too much.
Could instead be turned into Soylent Green. Or fertilizer.
*except occasionally with our rare minerals
I’ve seen The Expanse, I know how this goes 🤔
Plastic recycling is a scam, otherwise perfect.
How did we get lumbered with that chud of a packaging material.
Glass: rinse me out, use me again. 💪
Metal: melt me down, good as new. 💪
Plastic: I can’t be shredded and turned into road surfaces without my lid…
No helmet, I can already feel my head having more cracks in it than my arse
Most people don’t wear helmets, it’s not a big issue.
I remember seeing a study showing mandatory helmets caused lower numbers of cyclists.
I don’t mind if people don’t wear a helmet.
I got a kidney transplant thanks to that.
Not wearing helmets also causes lower numbers of cyclists.
The second safest country for cyclists in Europe has the lowest percentage of helmet wearers. Data provided further up thread.
Obviously it doesn’t lower it anywhere near the level you believe it too.
Sometime ago, I would have agreed with you…
Then I learned the hard way.
Yes not wearing a helmet on a bike is a big issue. For the biker
To whit, I wish more people didn’t wear seatbelts, especially SUV and Cybertruck drivers
Most people where?
Europe, the Netherlands especially.
The overall average rate of helmet-wearing in all cities was 22%. The highest rate was observed in London (60.9%). The next highest, though far behind, were Vienna (26.7 %) and Berlin (24.3%), followed by Warsaw (22%), Copenhagen and Paris (both 19.9 %).
The lowest rate of helmet-wearing occurred in Amsterdam (1.1%).
“Hardly anyone wears a helmet there,” the study noted.
“When you look at the number of accidents as a ratio of distance traveled, the Netherlands is the second safest country after Denmark in which to ride a bicycle,” Luigi Ancona, an accident researcher for DEKRA, said in a statement. “Our figures clearly suggest a link between a bicycle-friendly infrastructure, the subjective feeling of safety and the rate of helmet-wearing.”
So then what you said earlier about it “not being a big issue” seems to only apply to places where there is “bicycle-friendly infrastructure” at the least. Quite assumptive to say your original statement, don’t you think? Most of America, for example, is not bicycle-friendly.
Yes bike safety comes from a bicycle safe city.
Most of America does not even ride bikes, they have a whole host of issues to address with ridership. Helmets aren’t the problem.
And in the US (I refuse to call it America) helmet laws tend to be selectively enforced against minorities
Your own study is saying it’s the infrastructure that helps with safety.
There’s nothing there about the helmets themselves.
That would be a different study ie rate of injury and death in cases of accidents in wearing a helmet vs not wearing one.
Of those things, only one will reliably work though.
“The Earth is not dying, it is being killed, and those who are killing it have names and addresses.”

That bicycle is so cursed.
We have near identical looking bikes like that in Holland. Then again, we have more bikes than people.
Including ones with no chain and where the front fork isn’t attached to the handlebars?
Echt waar? Fietsen waar het stuur en beide wielvorken zo vervloekt zijn? Nah, deze fiets is een simulacrum van hoe een fiets er ongeveer uit zou moeten zien.
For the others:
Really? Bicycles where the handlebars and both wheel forks are this cursed? Nah, this is a simulacrum of what a bicycle should approximately look like.Look closer
That bike looks like what someone who’s never ridden a bike thinks a bike looks like.
Are we sure it’s not ai?
This comic is quite old and predates AI.
One of these is so far removed from where my personal feelings stand on what is right, that I simply cannot condone that type of behavior!
I mean really??? Just NOT eat meat every monday??? No thanks. If anything I’d rather have cannibal mondays. Where we eat the corpses of all the billionaires we’ll be killing. No sense in letting that meat go to waste!
Just don’t eat the brain, we don’t want prion diseases
Meat is back on the menu, boyz!
That Lord of the Rings quote had massive implications of Orc society:
- Orcs could be (and were) vegetarian
- Orcs have menus, a.k.a. restaurants and civilization
- There could be boy orcs instead of ones formed as adults (though to be fair, the movie showed only an Uruk-Hai “formed,” from what I can remember)
I’m not sure how much of it is speculation and how much of it is from Tolkien’s work, but I think orcs were theorised to be corrupted elves. That’s to say, they likely still have a reproductive cycle like presumably elves have, they just split off and evolved into their own branch.
I guess, similar to how the work in The Elder Scrolls.
This could be completely wrong though.
Shameless vegan plug
No sense in letting perfectly good plants that can meet all our needs go to waste!
So, yes make EVERY day meatless
Your just trying to shill for big ai. By cutting meat we could shift MORE water to data centers!
Ok it’s really just beef basically every other live stock uses fuck all more water then stable vegan crops. It’s like 10-15% compared to beefs like fucking 100%+
Seriously fuck beef uses a lot of water! The poor data centers need it!
I know you jest, but a sustainable future really does look vegan
AND. NO. A. I.
We can do both ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You know you can just compost it, no need to eat something bad for you.
Where we eat the corpses of all the billionaires we’ll be killing. No sense in letting that meat go to waste!
don’t eat junk food! instead, compost and eat the veggies.
Recycle as the last step before reusing what you can and reducing your consumption. For example, instead of buying a new 2 liter of coke, wash out your old bottle and fill it up at a McDonald’s soda fountain with better mixed coke. 😌
Reduce
Reuse
Recycle
In that order.
Reducing our consumption is part of the third panel ;)
When your guillotine gets chipped and dull, don’t throw it away! Sharpen it, and continue using it!
or not.
I’m okay with taking multiple tries.
Alternatively, add more weight to the blade!
I recycle but my garbage company puts recycles together with the trash it seems when they pick it up
If I recall, it’s like the majority of all recycling in United States isn’t real recycling since almost all plastics. Even ones with the recycling logo aren’t actually recyclable. It’s like 2 out of 10 types of plastics are some nonsense.
Recycling in the grand scheme of things does f*** all into nothing. There’s a reason it’s the lesser of all of the r’s. Reducing and reusing are the actually useful to recycling. Might as well be f****** pointless.
If we shifted back to glass bottles for everything, paper for everything, recycling could be somewhat useful but so long as we mainly use plastics recycling is just trash. It’s it’s pointless.
that sounds like they’re defrauding you.
Every healthy society needs a robust guillotine repair and maintenance workforce.
I would love to live within biking distance to my job.
Hey whoa whoa whoa just wait a dang minute here… Meatball Mondays?
Edit: oh MeatLESS Mondays, my bad
To be fair, back when I made a decision of decreasing my meat consumption, it took off as “meatball Mondays”: I allowed myself to eat meat one, maybe two days a week (but not a must). It’s been ~6 years since. Last year at one point I tried to remember when it was the last time I had meat (it wasn’t that week or the one before). I couldn’t remember.
Meatball Mondays are still a good start.
Thank you for calling it for what it is, and not reusing the tired “Capitalism” trope.
I am tired of people blaming when it is indeed a corrupt corporate class.
Corrupt corporate classes are an inevitable result of capitalism
While I’m not an expert in economics, from my uneducated point of view it looks like they are an inevitable result of unregulated/improperly regulated capitalism. But I understand once you make strong enough regulations to try and prevent that, it might not be called capitalism anymore, but I guess it also depends on your (everyone’s?) very definition of capitalism.
Again, I might just be a dumb fuck in the matter, though.
Believe it or not every form of market sysrem would have a corrupt class. Human nature.
capitalism is just a buzzword, it does not exist.
corrupt corporate classes are present in all forms of societies.
corrupt corporate classes are present in all forms of societies.
except classless societies
classless societies don’t exist
a single counter-example would disprove this
What, do you think capitalism is just some kids with lemonade stands?
capitalism is nothing, it is just a dog whistle for the uneducated rebellious crybabies.
