Imagine saying the topic at-hand has nothing to do with Israel.
If the comic wouldn’t still work without the first three panels, you might have had a point, but those three panels literally serve to differentiate a couple suicidal, crazy, misogynists from your average Muslim. Hell, even the cigarette, posturing, and last speech-bubble are there to code the passenger as an addicted, closetted-gay hypocrite.
You honestly thought I was claiming there are Isreali suicide bombers? Although, now that truck-bombs are an IDF go-to for levelling neighborhoods in Gaza, who knows what’s next?
Doesn’t change the fact that Muslims started blowing themselves up intentionally only well-after the Zionists took-over Palestine. If either of us is trying to de-couple or entwine things where they don’t belong so-as to make arabs look bad, its you.
One of us believes suicide bombers and proxy-bombers have reasons or circumstances leading to the things as they’ve done, literally sacrificed their own lives and those of innocents for, whether thought-out-at-all or misguided-extorted-manipulated-or-desperate … and the other is pretending that acknowleging the existance of suicide bombers is be-smirching multiple ethnicities, cultures and a religion.
You know why the characters in the OP aren’t white Irish Catholics or hostages themselves? Because the IRA is irrelavent today and we don’t have back-stories for these two; What they are doing isn’t the point beyond the extreme contrast with their circumstances versus what the one is anxious about. If anything, we as the reader are being asked to empathize with the passenger, and/or the driver for having to put up with him.
Riiight … none of the suicide bombings have anything to do with Israel.
I knew we had some dense ones here, but your vote ratio is still surprisingly bad to me. Being anything like right is just painfully un-popular, wow.

Basically, the only places where they are truly distinguishable, are where Jews pass as white. Anti-arab sentiment is the more-real anti-semitism, and de-linking the two supports a specific colonialist narrative.
I think I’m more afraid of Drop-Bear Chlamydia, the little teeth and claws, and/or the screaming because it’s too stupid to get back in the tree, than of getting Mauled by the bigger ones. No, I don’t care about the likelihood, I’ll be punting the bastard, running away, or both.
Last I checked, you could freely download images from X anyways, to say nothing of screenshots, so … oh shit, that was INCREDIBLY dumb of them.
Is Elon aiming for the title of “history’s Punchline” or what?
That or a second-subscription would be worth-it to them. Still five years to equal the cost of a high-end gaming rig.
4 weeks and change gets … well fuck, I messed-up by a factor-of-two somewhere.
Thought the windshield wouldn’t open, but I’m too lazy right now to go back and check.
That’s actually what I was getting at.
Almost 4 hours if you only count weekdays. In other words, more than poeople should, debatably, have to work to survive.
I lean towards anti-work for the masses, but anyways, if that amount of time should be enough to survive-on; Does anything else, besides, unavoidably, sleep, ANY one thing, deserve that much of your time?
Honestly, I would bet they are having issues meeting demand, or AI demand is high-enough and pays enough to cause a supply issue, what with RAM prices and non-sensical gibberish I won’t bother finding to have a second bit for that “and”, right now. I was surprised to learn the GeForceNOW rates are still the-same-as-or-better than when I last looked-into it, a few years-ago.
EDIT: Math, verbiage to adjust to corrected figures, and another paragraph or two, Sorry.
“Help, I’m stuck because I’m too weak to push a vehicle that weights nothing away from the wall!!”
I figured this out in the first few months. Any other driver I tried explaining this to called me crazy and/or a cheater. I made twice what they did in a third of the drive-time, maybe half the time in my car when you count the time I sat Available while playing on my phone, using indoor bathrooms like a human-being, napping/meditating, or stuffing my face.
Sure buddy, I’m just that jealous of your work-ethic and two-door hatch-back that’s probably seen you reported dozens-of-times over. Super-hacker, liar, lazy fuck; Ya got me dead to rights.
Edit: I only drove passengers for the ride-share companies. Washing my hands enough for anything food related on an on-going basis destroys my skin, and my car is nicely climate-controlled, so …
They would literally make more money by job-hopping in pursuit of such a company, but you’re right. Even a single team that remembers what ethics are is a big ask.
You’re getting down-voted because this is what most of the callers think they want: the company to buy them a new computer.
I’m the guy on the right in the OOP, plus about 25 years of experience and learning. I’m not short on ideas, and didn’t say I was.
Got me wondering, did they not even have Neutral?
I agree that the things they are saying are non-optional aren’t, and that teams can get too large, resource allocations so large they become a hindrace, etc … but calling being intentional about such things “cheap” just invites Elon-stans and their ilk to give their teams, suppliers, and vendors shit over not magically pulling off the unicorn-trifecta,; Without (paid)overtime, no-less.
Do NOT let people redifine the necessities and trade-offs of price(raw materials, equipment, comforts, safety), pay, team-size, or (excessive)managerial/administrative overhead. In the end, they will have you feeling like you owe them for the opportunity to do the work of five people for peanuts.
If you care to check my comment history, I recently got-into-it for trying to redefine “en-shitification” to include things like tech-debt and planned-obselescence. Really, what irks me is that the one has all-but shut-down conversations about the other two. “That’s just enshittification” or “that’s not enshittification” will get trotted-out whenever needed to bring the conversation away from them, or keep it from moving towards the two, because no-one gets promoted by mentioning any of the three, but enshittification is almost-acceptable water-cooler talk, for the moment, with the bonus that it shames the speaker for cussing.
So … can we get a link to “… 1” ?
