Oh boy, I remember Minus. Great is also, well, great

Reminds me of Christopher Lee explaining to Peter Jackson what it sounds like when you stab someone in the back

10·5 days agoA rhombus is just an equilateral parallelogram, and parallelograms are the easiest way to approach vector cross products. And you’re 3/4 of the way there when you do tip-to-tail vector addition. They should have come up at least a couple times in geometry. Rhombi pop up as faces in lots of polyhedra, and tiles in lattices. I don’t know much about crystallography, but I’m sure they make an appearance.

11·5 days agoAre you going to argue that “no-holds-barred” – as in, fighting dirty – isn’t negative?
No-holds-barred is about the rules of engagement, not an individual’s fighting technique. If anything it’s even more positive because it means they can hold their own against people who do fight dirty.
Are you going to argue that the system providing little control and no remedy isn’t a bad thing?
It’s only that way because it’s the police chief who crossed the line. That’s a specific instance of the combination of “police chief” and “political operative” where the system provides little control and no remedy.
It’s good for a chuckle, although it’s wishful thinking to believe the public imagines political operatives and staffers to be like The West Wing. They’ve probably got a bleaker impression than that…
You might as well say “lawyer” is negative because people have bleak impressions of them. Should those on our side avoid studying law because people will think negatively of them? No, obviously, studying law is crucial to the drafting of policy that benefits people.
Likewise, understanding politics and being effective at operating in the political sphere is crucial to actually making things better.
Your argument is bad and you should feel bad. We want skilled political operatives on our side. If you want to whisper your political dreams into a shoebox and make an inoffensive manifestation board, then bug off and do that. The rest of us actually want to accomplish something, and that requires political savvy.
I think you might be overthinking a comic where the punchline is “Hey remember Leatherface from the well-known horror film The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, who had the mask made of human skin? I bet if he referred to “Facebook”, it would be a literal book filled with faces.”
Hell, I’d bet real money that the only reason they specifically mentioned a teenage blonde is because one of the film victims was a teenage blonde. They mention her “hanging” around there, and the blonde teen in the film gets hung on a meat hook.
It sounds like your gripe is with the film, and the horror genre in general. This comic is just a pun.

1·9 days agoI read that comment completely differently. The “socialism” in “Sorta like socialism” is supposed to replace “free markets” in the previous comment.
“They” only want “socialism” when it’s corporate bailouts. Privatized profits, socialized losses.
