in panel 2 what part of his anatomy is that

the ai:

def is_hamas(target):

but what kind of protest is "I'll have no choice but to sell the ape"?

like even if your "threat" is losing you as a member of the community, you're still selling it to somebody else who will just take your place

the candiru acu is actually the common name for cetopsis candiru

the fish that swims up where it shouldn't is the vandellia cirrhosa

Biden has taken months to stop veto-ing UN votes on Gaza, and even when finally abstaining, his administration pulls its punches by claiming the vote is somehow "non-binding".

Israel is still bombing Gaza, even after the ceasefire vote.

Biden says he cares about Gaza. His actions say otherwise.

3rd parties aren’t viable

this is just a misconception

if the democrats lose a million votes to a third party, then yeah, they're going to modify their policies next time around

if you think voting for biden this time is more important, then by all means do that

just understand the choice you're making, rather than pretending one doesn't exist

why on earth would any party listen to what you have to say if you preface everything you're campaigning for with "by the way, i'm still going to vote for you"

your vote is all they want in this scenario

it would be like opening a negotiation with "by the way, i'm absolutely going to pay whatever price you think is fair at the end of this, but i'd like you to consider giving me a discount anyway"

Not voting isn’t going to stop the genocide in Gaza.

maybe it will stop the next one though

if democrats learn that allowing a genocide to unfold on their watch is going to lose them elections, you can bet they'll put more effort into stopping it

if democrats learn that allowing genocide to unfold on their watch actually doesn't make that much difference, why would they bother themselves to stop it?

A vote is not an unconditional endorsement

a vote for a candidate is an endorsement for all of their policies, whether you want it to be or not

your reluctant vote looks exactly the same on the tally as somebody else's wholehearted vote, and votes are what politicians base their platforms on.

If you vote third party you might as well stay home.

this is just a misconception

if the democrats lose a million votes to a third party, then yeah, they're going to modify their policies next time around

you fool

"these are chatgpt's recommendations we just provided research to back them up and verify the ai's work"

in this case, microsoft just decided that they didn't have to bother supporting legacy accounts because they didn't feel like it, so they pulled them without consent or compensation

in the case of ai generated media, companies just decided that they just had the rights to use existing published media, so they harvested it without consent or compensation

both complaints are the same complaint: that businesses are just deciding on contracts unilaterally and then imposing them on people without the need for consent
