Immediately came to mind

the least you can do is give me a boatload of cash so I can spend several years or even the rest of my life (depending on how long you fucked me over, some of these people get fucked for decades) not working and like traveling the world or whatever to make up for it.

The amount of money that’s paid out for this is pitiful in comparison to how much you’d need to actually feel compensated. It’s $50k-$100k per year of imprisonment (depending on state and length of imprisonment), so for 20 years you’re getting (in most states) $2 million or so, but then you’re charged for services rendered while you were imprisoned in most states - for example, health insurance, room and board, etc., which severely reduce that value. Even if you got the full $2 million, you’ve lost 20 years - and the career development you would have had during that time - not to mention technology has likely completely moved on from what you remember. Good luck getting anything more than a minimum wage job at that point, and $2 million is not going to last you for the rest of your life unless you were already 50 or so when you were convicted.

To be clear, I agree with you that people falsely convicted should be monetarily compensated. Just pointing out that current compensation is embarrassingly low.

With the measles outbreak, he’s probably doing those countries a favor.

On a quick glance, the large fox poster on the left looked very NSFW and I was… surprised, to say the least, that you’d display that so prominently on your wall! Upon closer inspection, it looks like it’s just… I’m not sure, a weirdly fleshy colored bit of fur on their inner thigh? :)

Look, it’ll even out to 2000 calories per day over a long enough period, okay? We can drop 14k in one meal as long as we don’t eat for a week afterwards. Trust me.

They’re very experienced at cherry picking, since they do it all the time. Therefore they’re able to do it better / faster than most.

“Why didn’t you share it with the rest of the family, you selfish little shit?”

Simple to think about… extremely difficult to accomplish.

Ooh, this is rad - thanks for the link!

Pretty easy to find, just search the title.

Well, I didn’t know nor care about this book before, but now I want to read it.

Discounts for loyalty members is the same thing as higher prices for the general public.

I generally agree with you, but I think it’d be very difficult to legislate this. (For example, if you ban “discounts” for loyalty program members, they instead offer “rebates” which functionally is the same effect. If you ban “rebates”, they instead send you a coupon for your next visit after you shop.)

If the advertised price is what a non-loyalty-program shopper pays, I have less of a problem with it, but what gets me is when the item is listed as, for example, “2 for $3” on the shelf, and at the register rings up for $3.69 each unless you swipe a loyalty card. Fuck that shit.

I really hate this shit and honestly I feel like it should be illegal. Like, offer discounts for the loyalty program members, sure, whatever, but the price on the shelf when you pick up the item should not be able to have contingencies attached.

I once again reiterate my earlier statements that a lot of Trump policy does not seem to be to be very good at all for American agriculture, which is surprising to me, given that the present-day Republican Party is the party of rural America.

It shouldn’t be surprising. Trump doesn’t represent the Republican party; Trump represents Trump. He does what’s best for Trump, nobody else. If what he wants happens to coincide with what’s good for anyone else, it’s a happy coincidence, nothing more.

I really appreciate that they’re targeting republican states specifically. It’s at least nice that it’s being acknowledged that the US isn’t a monolith and most of us don’t agree with this shit. Not that it doesn’t hurt us all, obviously, but it’s at least a nice little nod to the fact.

Silly dragon! Research is for humans!

I had almost this exact experience as a kid. I was riding my bike and a group of 5 older kids physically stopped me; I thought I was about to get beat up, but it turns out they were playing a game and needed one more. Ended up hanging out with them for the rest of the day and then went on my way. I’d basically forgotten about it until seeing this comic, so, thanks for that!

When referring to him in the capacity of a president, using last name is pretty much the standard. It wasn’t “Joe”, it was “Biden”. It wasn’t “Barack”, it was “Obama”. It’d be weird to call him Donald.

That said, I’m sure it would rankle him greatly and I fully support it on those grounds alone.

As an American, I hope Canada just tells Trump to get fucked and gives him nothing. Make us suffer. Leave absolutely no room for argument that Trump’s tariffs are in any way beneficial. Come back to the table when we have a reasonable president and negotiate then.
