The characters in the comic are terrorists.

Just like almost every depiction of arabs, muslims or people with brown skin in general

Uhhhhh I think that says more about what media you consume. I haven't seen an Arab stereotyped as a terrorist since like 2015. In fact, most of the TV I watched for awhile was specifically portraying "US law enforcement sees all Middle easterners as terrorists and treats them poorly and it wasn't any of them that had anything to do with the bad thing of the episode"

I have so many knives and hammers and axes and shivs and even a saw or two.

I'm basically ready to go on a mass killing spree, according to them.

I'm surprised they didn't list pencils in there. Anyone who's seen John Wick or the dark knight knows they are deadly weapons.

Idk man, I feel like the fall of the Berlin wall didn't affect my parents much.

Battle of Hastings? I mean yeah. Probably scatter most of my family tree.

Also is it really a good time to tell Americans that they need to be disarmed when the vast majority of us are having a hard time with a fascist federal government and police forces who refuse to do their job?

This is my biggest issue with anyone preaching gun bans and the like.

I am actively encouraging my lgbtq+ and other minority friends to arm and train, and have had a few over to my personal range (basically my back yard in the country with a big dirt hill surrounding a couple steel plates) to practice with because they don't feel comfortable going to public ranges. (deep red country and likely to encounter bigots with guns and bad attitudes)

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

If I'm searching for it, I limit searches to before 2024.

If I'm browsing a recipe site, I ignore recipes posted after 2024.

Im sure I'm missing a lot of good stuff, but I don't always know enough about cooking to know just by looking at the recipe that it doesn't work.

Hilarious that you immediately jump to "America bad" with absolutely no indication of where the poster is from.

Yes, America bad, but that's a huge whataboutism

So, basically everything?

Politicians can be bought out for embarrassingly low sums.

Some AAA game company releases a big-budget title that turns out to be a complete buggy mess (like MindsEye)

[FREE SPACE] contenders in here, but I like this one the best. The next one is a very close second.

Most of the "500+" will simply ignore their legal requirements and eat the fine.

But some won't.

So it's better than continuing to do nothing, it's at least vocally (legally) saying they aren't cool with it.

Here's how it's gonna go:

Government of california: "delete this"

Company: no

Gov: okay well here's a fine for $200 million, don't do it again

Company: that's fine, we made $1.8 billion with the data, this is just the cost of doing business

repeats next year but with a sternly worded letter

Prove me wrong, California. Break companies out of existence when they break the law. Don't just slap them on the wrist with a fine.
