[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

Ouch!

She won that round, and the match.

Her twitter game is unreal.

I'm starting to think the Green New Deal is power generated from the steam coming off of the people she roasts.

The flip side of this is that those same women, Clinton especially, get criticized when they come off as robotic for not showing emotion. So they're not being criticized for how they express emotions, they're being criticized for being women. Which is obvious, but I wanted re-emphasize that bit.

That is what I took from the picture generally. It doesn't matte what women do oftentimes - they are wrong for doing it.

This has been 'shopped away from the original version by shen comix

Original is about economic devistation

The original makes the worker revolution ‘shop more relevant, frankly.

True, and i like to rework. I just thought it was worth pointing out that this is putting something into Shen's mouth, not something he said, because it doesn't make that clear.

I've never seen so little enthusiasm for a regular end of the year, let alone the end of a decade. The only excitement around this new decade beginning seems to be because the last one is *ending*

Personally i kind of feel like "averting the literal collapse of society" is the potential positive, i'm not particularly optimistic we will pull it off, and i find that more anxiety inducing than i do exciting. It things turn out will after 2020 i think some decade excitement will set in. The looking back on past decade just feels so demoralizing.

I don't feel like some kind of disaster was averted. At best delayed, at worst it's happening, its not stoppable, and we don't even see it yet.

I guess i'm just an optimist?

Not to put you on the spot, but what was averted? I genuinely can't think of anything. Asteroids missed us but we didnt have anything to do with that.

well, i'm kind of lumping 20 in with the last decade, and am admittedly being a bit USA centric when i refer to society (the society i specifically live in) but averting to transition into a non-democratic government and the economic collapse that will go along with that.

If anyone else would like to be the optimist:

Polio and Guinea worm are nearly eradicated. Infant mortality is down. Extreme poverty is down. Literacy is up. Lots of other things that don't get talked about

There's a lot to be positive about. There's a lot to be negative about.

I feel like there's a novel that starts with that line...

I don't know that we have averted it. I think we're in the middle of 1933 and the genocides have already quietly begun.
