Money is power, he’s not doing it for money. Its a class society, and money is the thing that moderates all social interaction and commerce. It isn’t just greed for the sake of getting money, its power prestige, priviledge, shape nations, make history.
A glass head is actually a sign of manliness, like tanned balls
My wife is very rule oriented, she likes to understand what her place is, and make sure she is living up to the explicit and implicit (with a limit only of her vivid imagination) tasks in order to fulfill her role, as long as she understands the reason for the rule.
I am much more chaotic and didn’t give a fuck about rules for a long time because its all external and alienated. But as I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed an ethics, not morality, that if anything is much stricter than what is “necessary.” But my own ethics have, to the best of my ability, good reasonable justifications, with a high standard for logical consistency and self growth and actualization, whereas I still see those externalized rules, especially the ones that seem to undergird the logic of private property, oppression, imperialism, patriarchy, racism; to still be external and alienating, if not just corrosive to the human spirit.
My ethics compel me to.do things that others wouldn’t dare, their morality compels them to do things that I can’t even comprehend. Its like no matter what the rules are, I’ll always find damn good reasons to be feisty. This of course plays beautifully into my afore mentioned rejection dysphoria which isn’t chronic but still acute; and comes on strong in moments of self assessment of just these dynamics.
Its almost like people are impossibly complicated, but maybe that’s just me
I’m an elder millennial, practically an x-er, so its my first time seeing some of these terms.
Some of this stuff, like time blindness, yeah I get that and am medicated for it. Hours just fall off for me. Rejection sensitive dysphoria? Yeah that’s another one I’ve identified in myself and others but didn’t know the term for. I can’t say I have it all the time but sometimes it can feel quite acute.
But justice sensitivity? Like, what does it even mean to be NT? It’s just going along and not giving a shit about anything except what is immediately in front of you? Is this why I feel like I don’t relate to a lot of people?do people just like not change in a conscious way, or even think? Why does the concept of justice even exist if it is only important to a minority of non NT people? I find this incredibly strange. And I say this as someone who probably is justice sensitive, so much so that politics is a big part of my life, but then most of my friends and non-work relations are as well.

You have to think about contradictions that occur, not like static things, when analyzing conflicts like this. The US military is strong, but they aren’t like completely cold blooded thugs. Some are, you’ll have that anywhere, but how revolutions are often won is the military breaks in half, and one side goes over to the revolutionary forces. See the people with the most like conscience (sorry its not very scientific here, but its the best word to describe), will defect first and early, which creates problems in the ranks with disunity and lowering morale. The generals and leaders will become extremely harsh on the military which just causes more defections as people start to escape their declining conditions, along with their conscience, which makes the leaders crack down harder – it creates a feedback loop that can fracture the entire military. Its happened many times. Turning a military against their own people is dangerous. It takes decades of otherizing and conditioning of the population to overwrite peoples basic humanity. Some people can be monstrous but some can’t resist their own conscience.
You never know what could happen, especially in the core. And as other people have said, the US military actually losing is always possible. Talk to anyone in the military with logistical or admin or leadership jobs, and a lot of times you won’t find the hyper jingoistic patriotism of the suburbs, you’ll find healthy skepticism and tactical flexibility. In other words, the military are always aware that they could lose, so why should we think any different?
It all comes down to organization, tactics, and strategy.
Who can definitely be defeated with numbers and organization
What is a tit loan? A loan to buy breast implants, or a way to convert your tits into capital that can be borrowed against? Or is it both, so that you can get like a second a second mortgage on your tits once you build some equity?

Oh shit, you see I was reading the instructions upside down, and the “6” was actually a “9”, so you see all our calculations were off by three or a factor of three, then I dropped my pen in the kitchenaid mixer that was making dough so the pizza crusts are dark blue and taste like a whiff of ozone, not to mention I left my cardkey that I need to get into the government building where I work at my friend Liza’s house when she had an Amway party, and Liza has these little yippy dogs, and they’re so cute but they’re always chewing stuff, and wouldn’t you know it they got ahold of my cardkey and chewed it all up, so now I have to wait a week until security clears me for a new card and until then I have to sign in at the front gate which adds like 6 minutes to my morning every day, and anyway it was such a mess in the kitchen, let me tell you! Anyway that’s why you don’t have healthcare and its now legal to pay you in dogfood, god Trump is such a tyrant I swear
Yeah now that you mention it, the leader of the worlds largest pedophile club has some strange beliefs
If pro-life conservative heads were glass no one would listen to them because you could see there is nothing inside
Its like saying all lives matter, kind of. I don’t think this strip is misogynist, but there should be more to it. “I’m sad all the time” is different than the very real physical pain that women experience during their periods, the general problems women have even *getting" high quality reproductive care.
If the man had said, I’m really sad right now, and she was like, “yeah well I’m on my period,” and then the comic would still be about insensitivity, in this case the subject is the dismal state of mental health care.
In fact that’s what this comic is about…poor access to reproductive care and poor access to mental health care. They clearly both need help and aren’t getting it from our capitalist healthcare system
At this rate, someday guys may be able to joke around again

Outside of academia, new technology is only developed to replace jobs, or to sell commodities. A business always has incentive to do away with workers when a machine can do their job cheaper. And those machines, aren’t designed to make the workers jobs easier. If regulations force safety on companies it can protect workers that way, but only to the bare minimum. If anything, machines have wrecked our bodies and minds. I’m not even convinced that commodity consumption isnt a way to shackle workers to even more machines.
