I could take a picture of my shoe, that would be unpopular. I’m almost petty enough to do it so it shows right next to your post…

Pregante!

Nope. Just actually paying attention! I invite you to consume a wide variety of news sources…

She will not lay on a human.

Hmm. I believe you, but I am up for the challenge and can earn her love! Can I stay with you for a month or two? I’ll take the time off work and pay for my own food!

I genuinely love that you are giving this complicated, fuzzy being the best life you can, and working around her issues… ❤️ Good human! ❤️

And the comment is clearly didn’t mean that definition

Yep, definitely dealing with a rational, intelligent human here. No need to engage…

Do you have an example where “more perspective just means witnessing more atrocities”? I think you’re thinking of “awareness”.

There’s definitely an argument for limiting "doom and gloom news for ones own mental health…

Associate: to join as a partner, friend, or companion; They were closely associated with each other during the war.

See? I can paste definitions too! I was merely pointing out that that specific word choice could lead the reader to infer collaboration or partnership. The comic is clearly not endorsing that worldview…

“Unhoused” is callous and “homeless” is not?

While others are downvoting you for missing the point (possibly because I was already attempting to consider them with empathy and dignity), I probably should have actually said “person experiencing homelessness”, and have edited it as such.

In 2020, an entry on homelessness was added to The Associated Press Stylebook noting how “Homeless is generally acceptable as an adjective to describe people without a fixed residence” and that reporters should use person-first language to "avoid the dehumanizing collective noun the homeless, instead using constructions like homeless people, people without housing or people without homes.”

I was so, so waiting for consequences to finally reach this asshole. Reminder that this teenage student and her family *were experiencing homelessness and was apparently exhausted trying to meet all her responsibilities! She needed an advocate, not a bully. This is the type of person that demands respect from you, while not valuing you as a human, beyond considering what you can do for him. I hope he endures excruciating traffic cases until he is removed from the bench…

EDIT: Changed to people-first language.

You see, one party lies with every breath. So they are not supposed to fact check “each other”…

I’m glad Amanda is for Democracy… But why is she (apparently) for embedding a landscape video inside her portrait video that doesn’t fit on my screen, so now it’s scaled down to 1/9th my TV’s viewable area?

Extremists (hint: not Tim Walz) will be able to just spout lies the whole time, and rational, honest candidates: (hint: not JD Vance) will have to either let them get away with complete bullshit assertions, or spend part of their time doing the job of the moderators… This is why no one believes in Journalism these days…

10 years ago, this would be an Onion headline.

That is frustrating. I would counter those people that being passionate is not the same thing as extremist media personalities that literally profit off outrage. It’s okay to hear and react to things, but we shouldn’t all be open fucking sores that flip out over literally every single thing we encounter like an autistic toddler: all emotion, no perspective, can’t be reasoned with, etc. That’s the Republican Outage Machine…

“Associated with”? That’s definitely incorrect. Maybe"referencing", “calling out” or even “denouncing”…

Or even be able to read. Sheesh. I’m going to consume items that I’m hoping erase my short-term memory.

Then organic organism organizing.

Because… she’s an empathetic, intelligent, introspective individual, who listens to experts, her advisors, and citizens. Not everyone needs to be manipulated to do the right thing…

Thank you. I’m not actually that old-school, but back in the day, the only directions that mattered were the changes. “Turn right on the dirt road, and follow it for about 35 miles. Turn right at the crazy magenta and black diner…”

I’m sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. What were you saying?
