I’m not from the US and only have a vague understanding of the dynamics on the other side of the pond. But damn would it be funny if of all the things he does this would be his downfall. Like, there’s a million reasons not to let that guy near any public office… The pedophilia, the ridicule of disabled people, the dementia, the dismantling of democracy and its institutions, the treatment of women, the lying, you know this list could go on forever. But now there’s this one thing he says that any other country on earth regards as a reasonable and sensible thing to enforce, which is “people shouldn’t be allowed to carry guns around all the time” and suddenly he has a problem with important voter demographics. Like… this is a problem now? Unlike… *wildly gesturing at everything*…?

The real question is why I would play this when there’s Into The Breach.

I thought the map was made for English speakers that wanted to know the local versions of “John”. That’d be Johannes.

Ich kotze.

Jetzt werden echt neue Gasmeiler gebaut während lauter umweltfreundlichere Großbatteriespeicher auf ihre Genehmigung warten. Aber was soll man auch erwarten, wenn die Gaslobby die Ministerin stellt?

German here. I think the biblical name should be Johannes and the names listed on the map (Johann, Hans) are just shorter nicknames for the former.

Not always.

Das kapitalistische Wirtschaftssystem ist den staatlichen und sozialen Lebensinteressen des deutschen Volkes nicht gerecht geworden.

Inhalt und Ziel dieser sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Neuordnung kann nicht mehr das kapitalistische Gewinn- und Machtstreben, sondern nur das Wohlergehen unseres Volkes sein.

CDU, 1947.

But yeah, that was some time ago.

Do you have steam running in the background in desktop mode or did you shut that down?

It’s really not. I get that the US have a lot of problems, especially when it comes to training people to deescalate, not use force when it’s not absolutely required etc, but it’s not the same on all countries.

Like… I’m from Germany. Police here are trained for years, with a focus on values and deescalation, before they commence their service. This really results in a relationship of trust between them and the citizens, like when they e.g. arrest people and tie them down to burn them alive in their cells instead of shooting them. Or when they don’t run rampant in the streets to kill or citizens (duh) but instead finance right wing terrorist groups that then kill citizens. You see?

was a German schoolteacher and a member of the Nazi Schutzstaffel (SS) who served in a mobile killing unit

“I wonder what I should do with my life… I already tried to mentor and help people find their way through life. Guess I could try genocide next.”

What the fuck.

Man, I unblocked you just to see this response… and then that is all? Meh.

Wat?

Written by me, and then I take multiple chat bot images and make manual corrections and edits in GIMP to get the comic panels.

So if I had to pick yes or no to “is it AI generated?” I’d say “no”

Bloody hell… That’s AI generated and I’d feel pissed if somebody said it wasn’t so it wouldn’t filter from my feed.

You can’t just slop your artwork together, fix the messed up fingers and then say because you drew three lines yourself it’s no longer AI. If it has AI in there, it’s AI. It’s either done without AI or it’s AI.

So “the year of the Linux desktop” is just around the corner? Again?

… and all it took was to wait for windows to become unbearably shitty?

Blauer Strich letzte Heizsaison. Orangener Strich diese Heizsaison. Orange weiter unten. Wenn der orangene Strich nach ganz unten kommt, geht meine Heizung aus.

Sure thing, buddy.

Can somebody please get that slop out of my face?

You posted this in the caricatures community… I think this is supposed to be for short comics.

What nonsense. The whole premise here was that people are being told something. If somebody’s repeatedly told that they’re probably a lunatic because of the .ml attached to their name they’ll know something’s up. This isn’t about not telling people, this is about treating people like they know what they’re doing and telling them. Otherwise we wouldn’t even have this discussion because I’d just have left.

But this is going nowhere. You say we can’t expect people to know the symbolism they surround themselves with, I say it’s bullshit. We’re going in circles. So, you do you, great. I’ll, however, assume that the next person I see wearing a swastika is, in fact, a lunatic moron, and not just a poor fella who unknowingly made a wrong pick in the thrift store.

You can always assume people do stuff knowingly. They usually tell you that they didn’t if they didn’t. That’s the whole idea about doing stuff: You’re responsible for your actions.
