With what? I can't fix your thirst for genocide so I don't let it bother me, Mr ruskybot

💯

A real chonkarino. Mr tubbster. Flubbery Fred. The original chonkster.

All clearly better options than "a chunky guy". Gotta show some respect.

🍆💦😜

They've been saying that too. You need to pull yourself out of the internet circle jerk.

Wait, you needed more than "not him"? Are you a fascist?

I dunno, one of them sent his personal army to fight trump's personal army. That seems ballsy.

Of course, but that's never been a serious proposal in this country so I wasn't responding to it.

It's feasible to do this today in the US at some schools, but your parents have to really push you to get a lot of scholarships. It's not common.

I think it's a universal experience if you're an engineer who does customer facing work. Every salesperson I've worked with has been either extraordinarily stupid or a sociopath who overpromises something that doesn't exist so they can get a commission, regardless of the fact that the thing they sold doesn't work and sometimes cannot work. They are a scourge upon this planet and if they all disappeared overnight the world would almost certainly be a better place.

Marketing otoh I just don't have a lot of respect for. Sure, they lie and use made-up phrases and barely know the product they are marketing in a lot of cases, but they're company-approved lies so you're usually not on the hook for making their lies a reality. The salespeople have to bend those lies into a bullshit "solution" first before it personally impacts you. Plus marketing folks don't have commission, so they aren't as personally invested in feeding some made up shit to any given random asshole group lead or director, which is refreshing.

Sounds like you're the one complicit in a genocide

:'(

I mean...it was definitely just a joke about the chonkers pictured. I didn't and never will know the level of detail you described, but I'm aware that the national guard is wildly overused. I think there was a last week tonight on how fucked up it all is.

However, these guys pictured are hunting humans for sport and don't deserve anyone's respect regardless of if it's their "choice" or not. So chonkers will be made fun of.

Yeah I don't think this covers the situation as much as it's a nice feel good story.

Imagine for a second you are relatively poor, you go to a state school or community college in order to afford it. You have loans, but they are small.

Now imagine you're upper middle class, you go to a private or out of state school and take loans out for a much much larger amount than the other person, with the expectation that you're getting more value for your money (let's ignore the labyrinth there for a second -- this is something many people believe and believing it, for some, makes it true).

Now, both loans are forgiven

Youve succeeded in making the rich richer, giving them both the higher valued education and all of their money back.

Or imagine you're that poor student but you're smart: you got a grant or scholarship making your loans nonexistent, but only if you go to the state school.

Once again, forgiving loans makes the already wealthy person significantly more wealthy and does nothing to benefit the poorer person.

Yes, of course, there's a wide range of reasons a person might go down either route, and I'm absolutely certain there are many millions of people who have gotten loans way above their wealth in order to go to a better school and jump out of poverty (or whatever). This comic ignores the nuance.

In the cancer analogy, this would be a poor person dying or otherwise experiencing terrible health problems because they couldn't get the care they needed, then when a cure is developed, only administering it to the people who could afford care to begin with (ie american health care)
