It feels more like a 20% chance when you’re using it, and a 95% chance when you’re trying to get through Mount Moon.

They’re using Supersonic, which has a 55% accuracy rate. They learn Confuse Ray later on, which has a 100% accuracy rate.

People are downvoting real hard for this, but there are 3 different interpretations of this comic in this thread, so you definitely have a point.

She was also convicted of other felonies, including attempted murder for trying to poison her husband weeks earlier on Valentine’s Day with a fentanyl-laced sandwich that made him black out.

Look, I don’t want to blame the victim here, but I probably wouldn’t let my wife make me a cocktail if she once gave me a sandwich so strong I blacked out.

Oh, I guess that’s just Massachusetts. Here you’re required to pay time-and-a-half for federal holidays and, for some industries, Sundays. I knew that Sunday-pay was state law, but I assumed federal holiday pay was required by federal law.

If it’s a federal holiday, employers are forced to give you time-and-a-half, which makes smaller businesses much more likely to close for the day (and large corporations much more likely to understaff and fuck over the people who do work that day).

If the Democrats were a functioning opposition party, they would have forced Fetterman out when his staffers started reporting his erratic behavior. But Chuck Schumer needs Senators to, “go against him,” and thwart any legitimate opposition the party can muster, so we let this brain damaged, mentally ill man occupy one of fhe highest positions of power in the nation.

Schumer’s gonna pass the SAVE act so he can pass Iran War funding, isn’t he?

I feel you, but honestly, with this administration, who fucking knows what will happen. The Secretary of Defense is an alcoholic, the President is sundowning, and JD Vance appears to already be in hiding. This might end with our unconditional surrender to the next Ayatollah after we lose a ground invasion.

I don’t even think you can say, “America,” at this point; I think this 5 to 10 people at the top of the administration that thought they could repeat what they did in Venezuela. There are plenty of ghouls in both parties that have been dreaming of regime change in Iran, but even they wouldn’t be stupid enough to think they could just bomb the country for a weekend, kill the Ayatollah, and move on. Intelligence officials at the Pentagon directly contradicted the administration’s claim that Iran was planning an attack, and even John Fucking Bolton wrote an op-ed saying this was a bad idea. America is gonna get a kick in the nuts, but only a handful of people are actually responsible for this cluster-fuck, and they probably won’t learn anything or face any consequences for their actions.

Man, if I ever become an employer, this is how I’m gonna do job interviews.

People keep saying this is going to be America’s next forever war, but there’s a good chance we might just lose.

No, just for Biden to appoint someone who wasn’t too cowardly to prosecute Trump for his many, many crimes.

Not really, for several reasons I just laid out, but if it gets you to stop doubling down on this, sure.

Please, just stop, you don’t know what you’re talking about. 80 years ago we were still riding high on programs like the New Deal and the GI Bill. 50 to 70 years ago we were building the administrative state with the HEW, USAID, FEMA NOAA, and the EPA. It wasn’t until 40 years ago that Regean and his cronies began slashing taxes and trying to disempower federal agencies, and even then, those freaks would never eliminate NOAA or USAID because of the massive benefits they gave to defense.

What’s currently happening isn’t the same as the neocons trying to eliminate social spending, It is a group of fascists stripping the government for parts, even when that directly works against their plans of an authoritarian state. That’s sure as shit not, “taking the system further,” and you sure as shit don’t know anything about the last century of American politics.

Yeah man, dismantling the administrative state the federal government built up over the last 80 years is, “taking the system even further.” You’re super smart.

OMFG dude, Project 2025 is burning the system down. What do you think dismantling the federal bureaucracy, illegally shuttering federal agencies, and removing the independence of the FBI and DOJ is? He promised to take a wrecking ball to the entire system, and low information voters said, “fuck it, my life has only grown worse under this system, might as well.”

I could further explain how the Democratic primary system has been suppressing progressives for the last quarter century, but since you didn’t engage with any of the points I’ve already made on that topic, it would be a waste of my time. I can’t tell if you’re an American who knows shockingly little about their own government or a foreigner who’s arrogant enough to explain another countries political systems to their own citizens, but either way, you’re embarrassing yourself.

I saw the Porno Freaks open for the So Called Christians when I was in college. Great show.

Oh, OK, so then this is also something you’re wrong about, because that’s not how the process has worked for 240 years. The Democratic party itself has existed for less than 200 years, it’s modern form as a (ostensibly) left-leaninf, pro-labor party has existed for less than 100 years, and the modern primary process, where the voters actually select a candidate, has only existed since 1972. Before that, party delegates would just pick a candidate in a backroom meeting and voters would be stuck with it. People were incredibly unhappy with that system, which is why it was reformed in 1072 with binding primaries. The Democrats tried to limit voter influence in the 80s by adding Superdelegates, but after the outsized roll they played the disastrous 2016 election, they were reformed in 2018. Some of those reforms were rolled back in 2024 so they could anoint Harris.

Also, a large majority of Democratic voters did not want Joe Biden to run again in 2024, but the Democrats refused to hold debates and kept challengers off the ballot in many states. That did not end well, and no, Americans as a group are not fucking happy with this system. Generally speaking, people who are happy their current systems of government don’t elect fascist conmen who promise to burn the system down.

No one knows what fhe fuck you’re trying to say, dude. I made, like, six different points about the Democrats and the 2024 election and you replied with, “what about the entirety of American history?” What about it? WTF is your point?
