    It’s unfortunate that there’s a kernel of truth in both! Obviously red guy is bad and if you’re thinking in the medium-term of the next five years (the context of the election) then it really is that simple.

    I do want to emphasize though that there is a lot that has to be done outside the ballot box. Even if you just want status quo, a Harris government would need to be badgered heavily to actually pass the sort of legislation needed to mitigate the imminent threat of climate change (in addition to most other policy changes you’d want or need).

    Climate Man isn’t going to swoop down from the sky and save the world. Normal people need to see politics as a proactive, regular part of adulting. If you’re planning on voting this year, consider also having the goal of (if able) attending a protest or donating to political organizations you agree with this (or next) year! Lets make government suck less c:

    An ice ball the size of Jupiter dotted with small little flat earths would have a surface gravity of at least 19m/s², about double the measured gravity of Earth. The real value would likely be higher, as surface ice compresses the ice below it.

    Otherwise a very based theory, can’t think of anything else wrong with it

    OKAY I didn’t read through much of it so I wasn’t sure if either of those were ever addressed!

    It’s almost unreliable narration the way Liz is presented, I’m sure that was super tough for her but what’s shown in comic is ultimately just the positive stuff. Maybe that’s for tone reasons but, yeah, definitely leaves an incomplete picture, made more incomplete by her not posting for long periods 😅

    Same! The early transition comics are crazy, she tells her wife and then they have a second kid together! (The trans stuff starts about here btw)

    Honestly it’s artistically remarkable to see a woman articulate the progression of her transition in this like, 00s-era Penny-Arcade webcomic art style.
















  • I love that we have the fidelity here to implement things like “downvotes are at 0.2x power” and stuff like that! That sounds cool, should totally try that out and see how it ends up feeling. I think people would ultimately be OK with a near-zero-power downvote, if that ends up negatively affecting conversations too much.
