Yep
I've been encouraging 'Muricans to kill Trump for a decade
If one of them used their firearms for something good, rather than compensating for their feelings of inadequacy, the world would be better off

Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
And of course the one who had a real chance fluffed it
It's more like the opposite. The world would be a much better place if people wouldn't think they know everything better than others.
The unintended consequences comment sent me π€£ cause government programs that are a net positive are usually flawed to the point of having incentivized a the wrong action or caused a cascade of other problems.
Example - offer rebates on energy efficient equipment and home renovations like insulation solar panels etc.
Effect - subsidize existing home owners putting upward pressure on property values pushing home ownership further from renters, causing shortage in rental units.(in part / not only market force)
Solution - we need to build more rental properties! subsidize apartment developments asap moving more money from the people who need it the most lol
Maybe itβs actually a well disguised bait and switch but why reach for malice when incompetence and reactionary policies win the day.
I'm not cocky enough to believe I have the answers to "pretty much every problem". And frankly there are lots of people who know what to do better than I, even on the topics I know the most about.
That being said, if a hand full of specific people would stop doing certain things I told them not to do... then I'm quite confident the world would be much improved.
Clawfinger starts playing
Oops itβs narcissism!
I was gonna comment "hey look someone drew my mom!" so yeah.
Hear hear!
Ok but actually, the US needs to strike. Now. Fucking do it.
I'm down. What's the balance of the war chest? Strikers are gonna need food.
this is more true than you would expect
nah it wouldn't
-
if it would, you'd be hired top manager by now. you aren't because things are not that easy
-
you're running into the fallacy of the invisible self right here. you do not see the cost that you bring into the world simply by existing, because people typically have a blind-spot on themselves. they do not see the errors that they make themselves.
I'm going to be real, based on the way the world is being run I don't think I could possibly be doing that much worse if I was in charge.
You don't really know how promotions work, do you ?
Number 1 is legitimately hilarious. You sound like my mom giving job-search advice
The curse of individualism. Don't trust anyone but yourself. Always assume the average person is dumber than you are. Never settle for a participatory role when you can wrestle with someone else for leadership. If you fail, it's someone else's fault. If you succeed, it was only due to your own genius.
Pretty much every problem in my world IRL would be solved if people were nicer to me.
I don't like soccer/whoever you call it, but I always have think that this is the same thing. People yell to the players why they are so stupid and dumb, and why they didn't do that or this, but fucker, you aren't who is playing.
Good thing the Law of Unintended Consequences isn't a thing!
If I could bend the world to my will, I would force it to make some nachos for me. My downfall will be swift, humiliating, and violent.
