Sinfest Sunday
Woke up early, couldn't get back to sleep so I decided I might as well punish the thread by posting this nonsense.

Wait, when a woman is drawn with white eyes it means that woman is actually a sex robot, are these dudes also robots? Like many things this will remain unclear. Also: BOTH SIDES BAD!





No, not "soon", 2020's life should be over "now". Actually, it should have been over "two days ago" since this comic is from January 2nd. Come on dude, you have total creative control here, if you're going to do a storyline where a year "dies" pace things so that actually happens before the year ends in real life.

It's really insidious how the author draws the protestors as exclusively white and male, thus removing race entirely from a movement primarily about racial equality that people of all genders are participating in. That way he's able to demonize them as a group while not appearing overtly racist.

So, in summary: The 2020's death is still being dragged out and BOTH SIDES ARE BAD*

*provided you ignore all the actual views and beliefs of both sides and pretend they're just fighting for no real reason.

Happy 2021 everybody!

Yeah, what? Of all the things you could mock Biden for saying, why pick this? He's right, the vaccine probably won't be available for the general population until at least March or maybe even later, that's what all the doctors and other people involved have been saying and it matches up to what's happening in reality.

And now for something that appeals to no one!








This was a particularly bad time to do a "BOTH SIDES BAD" storyline. I mean, there was never going to be a good time to say "The people trying to stop the Nazis are just as bad as the Nazis", but it comes off as extra stupid and terrible when it's done on the same week that a bunch of MAGA terrorists broke into the capital with the intent of kidnapping and murdering people. Turns out one side actually is worse, and it's the side that has Nazis on it. Here's a protip to remember for the future: The side that has Nazis on it is ALWAYS the worst side.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure 2020 is officially dead now. The last thing she did was to turn a bunch of people into babies so instead of killing each other they can instead die slowly of exposure in a pile of their own crap since there's no one around to take care of these kids. One last act of evil done by a truly terrible year. Good riddance, you monster.

Happy New Year January 10th!

If you're going to complain about Biden pick something real.

It's gonna take a whole lot more to convince me that Biden will fight for actual progress, but it is wild to me that this is where we're at when gay marriage was a grudging acquiescence by Obama towards the end of his second term.

Apparently Biden was more pro-gay and pro-trans than Obama was.

Not trying to make anyone hate Biden less, I'm sure he'll be terrible in other ways, but he's absolutely pro-trans rights and LGBTQ rights in general. If nothing else the next four years are going to be good us folks in that group (unless the republicans find some other way to gently caress things up, which they might), and it's looking like it'll be good for disabled people as well.

I wish people could get it through their head that coal only employs like 50,000 people in America.

Also, The reason coal was such a good career for so many people wasn't because coal mining is an inherently great career (it's not, it's bad down there) it's because unions fought like Hell to make it so that people could make a livable wage off their labor.

There are still many jobs the require manual labor in America (and there always will be, full automation of labor is unobtainable and not actually a good idea) and people should be able to do those jobs and get paid enough to support themselves and their families.

I thought - and I do welcome being corrected - the military had a fairly decent policy as to people who wanted transition as well as surgery services, making it one of the better "employers" for transgender people before the ban? I seem to recall a of of angst by serving members who were transgender at the loss of services.

Why the military provided those services is probably dubious of course. But as I understood it, the military was one of the better places to be transgender.

It is, in fact if you're trans and from a small town joining the army is often the only way to get the healthcare needed to transition and enough money to move someplace where being trans is accepted.

It's a complex issue that ties into deeper problems in American society.

My teacher called him an idiot and I'd asked why. Palm trees don't fall over during hurricanes, so wasn't he going to be safe? My teacher laughed at me. "It's not that the wind is blowing, it's what the wind is blowing. Tying yourself to a tree won't stop you from being impaled on a stop sign." I'm sure anyone raised in a tornado state learned more or less the same lesson.)

Young kids go on hormone blockers, which is literally the exact opposite of something that has a long term effect.
