I vote that @abc@hexbear.net be allowed to make as many posts as he wants in the electoralism com
That post-vote clarity hits you like a ton of bricks though
The last few winters here have been these miserable cycles of freezing and thawing that leaves everything covered in sheets of ice. Growing up it was common to get snow in October or early November that would last until March/April, that hasn't happened in years though
I really miss having proper winters
We're supposed to have snow by now, I can't take another grey-brown "winter" that's full of freezing rain and slush
No I haven't, is it psionic?
True, the grassy knoll was way closer that the book repository

Yea that and the firetruck photoshoot he did, dude likes him some big trucks and I can't blame him, big trucks are pretty cool.
Biden had something similar with him and amtrack before he became too senile to ride unsupervised, it's like the single thing about him I don't find repulsive

I didn't even know they made higher quality prints of that trash, all the ones I've picked up off park benches have been the cheapo prints
Edit: I have this specific comic too, I think the Bible kid ends up convincing his principal that he's going to hell for teaching evolution lol
How tf does Lee Harvey Oswald dome JFK in a moving car with a bolt action rifle while the dude who shot at Trump couldn't hit him while he was standing still? They really don't make 'em like they used to
I say fuck the firefighters
Oh weird, I've never seen chick tracts in that layout, all the ones I've collected are small, cheap, side-by-side comics. That looks like a higher quality printing, is it one you have or just found the pic online?
He does have a certain adoration for big trucks, remember that firetruck photoshoot he did? It's big energy but his enthusiasm for big trucks is one of those very few relatable aspects of him
Mindboggling that the amerikkkan ruling class is still sabre rattling and trying to amp people up for a war with China when they can't even supply their proxy forces without buying shit from China. How do they expect to fight the country that makes all their stuff?
I can't believe Ansarallah would tell people to vote for Trump like that
Bit idea: guy running for election on the traditionalist platform of hiring Chinese people to build a TransCanada railway
I can't wait for the release of Gabbin' With Gaddafi where he goes around and discusses the Green Book with various comedians/entertainers
That depends on a lot of factors, with the broad example of religion I wouldn't consider myself "better" than someone who is religious or spiritual just because I don't believe but I also don't necessarily think they're "wrong" for believing in a higher power. I don't think I'm superior just because I think what I think are the right things
I would consider myself a better person than someone who uses religion to justify bigotry or oppression like an evangelical looking to control women by banning abortion, and I think they're obviously wrong for wanting to do so, but that has more to do with their desire to control people's bodily autonomy than who/what they worship.
And not to get too annoying but it depends on what you mean when you say people I consider to be wrong. For a sillier example, I think people who like pineapple on pizza are wrong but that doesn't make me a better person.
I guess to sum it up I think there are times when I would consider myself a better person than someone who I view as being wrong, but that's not the only deciding factor and there are plenty of ways someone can be wrong that I wouldn't judge them for or consider them beneath me.
I open up my textbook to read chapter one and what do I find? Is this the great replacement theory within the first 10 pages? Sure looks like it!
Also bonus advocating for countering "radical islamist groups" by "military and ideological means"
I haven't gotten a good feel for this prof but we are not off to a good start
Edit: Looks like I pirated the wrong text or something, I found the one my prof wants us to use and it's very different. Not sure why the two editions are so dramatically different but I'm still keeping an eye out for any fash shit
By adding up all the posts in the News com and comparing them to the Trans mega I decree that the news posters are more online than the trans posters and therefore have won the posting Olympics. No I will not elaborate or show my findings thank you
Dunno if this is off topic, mods feel free to delete if it is, but I picked up a laptop that's a couple years old that needs a fan replacement. I've done a little googling but it's not clear which part(s) I need, where I could buy it, and if it would even be cost-effective to replace anyway.
I can post pics/more info in a couple hours, but in the meantime could anyone point me in the right direction where I can buy laptop fans or a guide on figuring out which fan I would need? I'm not worried about voiding any warranty or anything like that
Edit: the model number is 15-ek0018ca if that helps!
Or at least make people forget about it faster, and that is the presidential sons debate first proposed on chapo. Hunter vs Don Jr and Eric, a no holds barred, no muting mics, all substances allowed cage match debate. 3 men enter, 1 man leaves to be crowned Biggest Presidential Son. It won't do anything about Joe's liquifying brain but it might make people forget, plus with Hunter's charisma he can only help his dad's campaign
Someone else further down even pointed out that it was actually the British that strapped people to cannon muzzles to execute them, not the DPRK
I don't know how many of you are familiar with Ryan Mcbeth and his osint youtube channel, but he's also written a novel that's so odd and full of all sorts of American brainworms that I just have to share it. The backbone of America is the Mormons and the Nauvoo Legion, a sleazy exploitative pornographer plays a large part in saving America, Ospreys fly and don't crash, Muslims are bribed to start a jihad against the handmaiden's tale government, and there's a focus on and fascination with gay refugees specifically that just strikes me as weird as hell at the least.
I don't even know what else to say but I can't be the only one cursed with this knowledge
Also he's just such a le epic reddit whiskey and cigar guy that HAS NEVER EATEN SOY and he needs you to know this
I think my favourite part of this tract is the background demonstration of how Jack Chick's version of Christianity works with regards to the shithead kid background character. Throughout the story you see him abusing animals (pulling the cats tail, shooting at a bird with a slingshot, kicking at the cat) but as soon as he accepts Jesus as his savior all is instantly forgiven, no matter what you've done in the past. In Jack Chick's flavour of Christianity that's all that matters, good deeds are not required (this same idea is further explored in Flight 144)

Up next is Creator or Liar?, a pretty dull retelling of creation so I might do a double feature with the more interesting Flight 144, I'll see what I end up doing.
This one is a Friday the 13th ripoff, but it's the devil himself that's running around having a great time killing teenagers, but also the teenagers deserve it because they're satan-worshipping delinquents and not in the church like the good boy. Also, can't forget that Halloween is literally a satanic trap so your soul will be dragged to hell for all eternity. Again, nothing too wacky/bigoted (at least compared to other Chick Tracts), though I'm suspicious of the devil's depiction as an individual with a huge hooked nose trying to mislead proper Christian folk

Pretty standard CT fare, set up a straw man professor and have the Chad Christian student destroy them with facts and logic, leaving the professor a shell of a man who has instantly discarded everything he knew in favour of Jack Chick's flavour of fundamentalist Christianity

I'll continue with them alphabetically unless there's specific ones people want to see next, I'll probably post one a day depending on how busy I am.
Next up is Boo!, a Halloween themed tract to kick off October!
I'm unsure what's the limit on pictures per post, my other plan is just use imgur but are there any better options? Thanks in advance
