Goes good with cham-pag-ney.

I’m happy he’s not spewing hate anymore. However, I abhor how that came to pass and remain genuinely disgusted at the sick, bloodthirsty mob social media turns into when shit like this happens (or attempted happens).

I am very much not an “ends justify the means” kind of person and firmly believe that kind of logic is extremely dangerous.

How does this make me feel? Well, disgusted. Disgusted that there’s more gun violence in the world, disgusted that people are cheering it on, and disgusted with pretty much everyone’s knee-jerk takes on the matter. I can forgive celebrating his passing as dark humor / acceptable. I can even understand laughing at the schadenfreude due to the guy’s stance on exactly this kind of thing. But for people to be praising the suspect or calling for more is crossing the line into psychopath territory.

Again, the ends do not justify the means.

I can feel the other shoe is about to drop, and all these people salivating over the bloodshed are not going to be happy when it does. Violence begets violence, and people need to understand that and not be cheering it on.

These are the shitposts I live for. Not the shit that should be in the political memes community. Thank you!

Charlie Kirk. Kirk, 31, was the CEO…

He was only 31?

Geezus. Hate really does age you. I’m over 10 years his senior, and he looks 5 years older than me. And for once, this isn’t a humble-brag.

I mean, I wouldn’t say “don’t celebrate it” but just because someone else is a piece of shit isn’t a blank check for you* to be a piece of shit.

*Collective “you”

But I’m not going to spare him any empathy either

Me either. I’m not even sad he’s (apparently) no longer among us. I just get disgusted with everyone who’s calling for violence left and right (metaphorically and politically).

Might be a bit premature. I’m gonna hold off until someone whose brain isn’t a pile of mush and who isn’t a pathological liar confirms it.

But if someone’s gonna make some wisecrack comment celebrating/endorsing acts of violence, they should definitely watch it to see the sick reality of what they’re celebrating.

Kirk is (was?) a piece of shit, but the armchair judges, juries, and wannabe executioners around here need a reality check.

How’s this?

“No, Chicago salt trucks are not being used to interfere with ICE 😉”

But then…you sound like…William…Shatner…and I’m not…sure…if that is any…better.

Haha, yeah. I had about the same reaction when I read that. I thought for sure it was an early 2000s thing.

That’s like asking if every racist joke should be applied to everyone of that race. That’s kind of how stereotype-based “humor” works.

Norf F.C or “Goalposting” is the nickname given to a series of drawings and illustrations originating from 4chan’s /pol/ board satirizing Northern English

Yes, 4chan’s /pol/ board is certainly a mighty fine moral compass you’re referencing there. /s

Not saying any of it isn’t accurate for a portion of the population. But it doesn’t apply to everyone (we’re not a monoculture / planet of hats), and to paint 347,628,682 people with a mural of ugly stereotypes is, well, kinda racist / xenophobic.

For regular debit/POS transactions, yeah, I think that’s universal. For ATMs, though, I think it depends on the ATM software, right?
Is it only your bank’s branded ATMs that do that?

My credit union doesn’t operate ATMs and just reimburses the fees, so I use any random ATM when I need to do something other than a deposit. Some let me do multiple transactions, some don’t. Some don’t even let me transfer funds, but those are usually the dinky little machines you find in “convenience” locations.

I really don’t that that gives it a pass, TBH.

How is this not racist/xenophobic? (yeah, I know “American” isn’t a race). You make this kind of comic for any other country, and a rational person would be like “yeah, that’s…pretty racist.”

This and the “time warp” pose:

That’s what that pose was??

I always thought it was the “I’m about to shit my pants” pose, and I never made the connection to Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I didn’t notice it at the time, but AIM away messages were basically like proto-Twitter long before actual Twitter became a thing. Some people would always be “away” so their inspirational crap would show since AIM still let you chat like normal while “away”.

vaguebooking that would involve lame-ass “motivation quotes” or worse song lyrics that were obviously about some dramatic thing happening in their life

You’ve just described like 90% of the AIM away messages in high school lol.
