  • Jack Smith Breaks His Silence, Warns of Unprecedented Attacks on Rule of Law by Trump Administration

  • "The only people who disagree with me are neoliberals and fascists", cried the Dingdong. It does not, of course, perceive that the only matching call in the forest is that of its greatest competitor species, the lowly maggat, with its cries of "The only people who disagree with me are commies and socialists"

  • historically accurate

    Listen, friend, this is going to be hard for you, but either:

    A) You have a serious misunderstanding of the definition of "history", or

    B) I am the bearer of bad news: Batman isn't a real historical figure

  • I thought it odd as well, but they complained at how grim it was. I just believe that it's an easy fix, which helps everyone, to put the attribution somewhere in either the title or text. Very simple, but lets people search for it or filter it. Apparently the OP would rather just be a condescending ass about it

  • Given the number of people who dislike specific comics, such as the comments on SMBC and PBF comics of late, this just seems like a basic consideration thing, but if you feel differently, so be it. I'm just happy that CustardFist tags their own posts here. This is the first one I've seen in a while. Either way, it just seems like this would also be a boon to someone searching for custardfist.

  • As someone who really dislikes custardfist, I'd appreciate it if people would just put the name of the comic, literally anywhere, so my filter can get rid of it. This should go for every comic.

  • But that doesn't stop the thing from getting out when the seal corrodes away...

  • That's only effective until the saltwater eats away at all of the seals, at which point it's free again. Ancient vaults containing artifacts of fell power and their incumbent curses comprise one of the most popular adventure story archetypes. The point is, it's only gone until someone stumbles across it, and now it's _un_gone, and worse, the hapless stumbler has no idea what's going on.

  • I really like my friend's justification in his fantasy worldbuilding, which explains it to my satisfaction:

    When attempting to seal things of mundane power, mundane objects are sufficient, such as handcuffs and chains. When you try to seal something magically, that extra power needed to seal such a powerful entity has tradeoffs: the more magically unbreakable and irresistible you want the seal to be, the more fragile the conditions holding it must also be. Want to seal all the evils of the world, even for a short time? Well, looks like you're going to need to store them in a top-heavy, ceramic jar with a tiny bottom, like Pandora's Pithos. Trapping a genie? It'll be much easier if you lay the trap with conditions for release, like someone rubbing it three times. Want to bind a violent spirit? Bind it to a fragile mirror, and make it so that she is freed if anyone stares into the mirror and says her name thrice, or if the mirror shatters.

    This explains a lot of the folkloric sealing rituals in mythology.

  • Elsevier was literally founded by the father of Ghislaine Maxwell. He clearly passed on his moral framework to his daughter.

  • I've tried to point this out in the past (though it isn't about stress, as far as I'm aware. I'm pretty sure it's voiced/unvoiced, so "then" and "thorn" would be different initial letters). Didn't help.

  • Because that's absolutely something they do in MP&tHG. That exact joke, just without the AI reference. They use it in the interlude between certain scenes.

  • Law of superposition. The timescale is in the order that you would find it digging down through ancient rock strata: youngest on top, older as you go down.

  • Whats the dumbest thing youve ever heard?

  • To explain what I see:

    This comic isn't saying (or even implying) that people are born communist, at all. The comic isn't even implying that communism is necessarily a good thing. It's saying that the random person clearly thinks that it should be morally acceptable not to love people who express or possess certain traits, while the messiah gave no such qualification. If your god says "love everybody", you don't get to say "but these people worship a different God, so I should get to hate them!"

    Love everybody.

    The comic makes clear that you can't just claim to be a Christian, then reject one of the few things about which Christ was unequivocal. The ultimate point here is that most modern Christians do not follow the teachings of Jesus. That communism is mentioned is simply because it is a common scapegoat among american conservatives, who overwhelmingly identify as Christians. There has never been a significant communist presence in the united states, but that didn't stop McCarthy from turning people against their neighbours in snipe hunts for the "reds".
