Well I wouldn't be surprised if hormones mess with teeth.

They do.

Pointless posturing more like it

I'm so fucking sick of Democrats using Jan. 6th as a bludgeon. Most Americans are pretty sick of hearing about Jan. 6th, and I think that was pretty evident when Trump won.

You get Swat Kats instead.

Update:

Please stop, I've had too much based this week already, and I'm on a diet.

Here's a fun discussion someone else once posted on reddit, What would a socially conservative democrat vs progressive republican electoral map look like?

Would California go red while Arkansas goes blue? Who would you vote for in this hypothetical election, assuming the democrat is pro gun as well?

So it's basically the 2040s Republican meme?

The lower echelons are bigly confused and irate over their tactics no longer being effective. Calling everyone a nazi and demanding people ignore what their eyes and ears tell them only works for so long, the spell has worn off.

I think its Afghanistan. What happened there was a national disgrace and it really pissed off the career Officers and NCO's.

A ton of work went into Afghanistan. Billions, blood, sweat and tears. Biden comes along, and pulls the plug so abruptly leading a Vietnam style defeat.
We had lost Afghanistan a long time ago, but the sloppy exit was abysmal, embarrassing and preventable.

Or need I remind you that they have to have sex because his sperm contains magic and they need Shiro’s magic sperm to heal her?

tantrism is an actual real life esoteric mystic thing

Or how it’s possibly the genesis of the “protagonist can only do one thing and everyone assumes that one thing is useless but because he’s so good at it he made it the most powerful thing ever” genre that has since destroyed the Japanese entertainment industry

That was a thing waaay before Fate. Besides Shirou doesn't actually use projection. He rapes reality out of his sheer existential need for swords. He can make other stuff because he can rape reality.

So this isn't completely offtopic and somewhat related to this spergery, this is the Answer scene with Cynical Doomer American Spirit being beaten by the Young Bloomer American he used to be.

Writer David Pepose is still in the midst of his acclaimed Space Ghost comic run at Dynamite, and now he's turning his attention to rebooting another classic cartoon superhero into a modern comic: Captain Planet, which will arrive this Spring through Dynamite, the same publisher as Space Ghost. And frankly, the new Captain Planet, seen here with his smashing beard, is… kinda hot?

Captain Planet and the Planeteers was an early '90s smash-hit cartoon in which a group of teen heroes from around the globe wielded elemental powers, summoning their champion Captain Planet to help them fight pollution, as embodied in colorfully eccentric villains such as Verminous Scum, Duke Nukem, and Hoggish Greedly.


Though Captain Planet is often seen as a relic of the '90s, with his original cartoon having been canceled way back in the halcyon days of 1992, the character's ecological message sounds particularly timely given modern concerns about climate change. And just like Pepose did for Space Ghost, he and his co-creator on the series, artist Eman Casallos, are aiming to bring Captain Planet squarely into the 21st century with a modern comic spin.

This includes an updated look for the eponymous hero, designed by Casallos, that chops off his notorious green mullet into a much more fetching 'do that has him looking more like Chris Evans than Joe Elliott. He's seen here along with the new designs for the Planeteers by series artist Eman Casallos, along with a gallery of covers for Captain Planet #1 showing off his new look, including covers by Mark Spears, Christian Ward, and Ben Oliver, along with the first of six connecting covers for the series' first arc by Jae Lee and June Chung. And for good measure, there are a few interior pages too:

"Every comic creator has their own personal white whale — that singular property they’ve been itching to make their mark on — and for more than a decade Captain Planet has been mine," says Pepose in a statement.

"Red-hot superstar writer David Pepose (Space Ghost, Cable) fuses his powers with artist Eman Casallos (Vampirella, Pathfinder) for the first comics series starring Captain Planet in over three decades," reads Dynamite's official announcement. "They're kicking off the story with an energized, yet faithful modernization of the franchise, in the same vein as Pepose's approach to the smash-hit Space Ghost series."

"Before these would-be eco-warriors can grasp their own newfound powers in pursuit of environmental justice, they're first going to have to learn to trust each other," it continues. "It will be even more of a trial by fire experience when Gaia is kidnapped, forcing the inexperienced Planeteers to learn in action against the well-financed might of Lucian Plunder. Their first test against the ruthless exploiters of Earth won't be the hardest, but it all starts here!"

Lucian Plunder seems to be the updated version of original villain Lootin Plunder, whose name is of course a play on "loot and plunder," his favorite things to do as a cartoonishly evil capitalist.

On topic, holy shit this week’s been amazing. I genuinely was not expecting Trump to do nearly this much already.

Reading the actual MLK files is a trip, the man would make people like destiny looks like amateurs in their degeneracy

 

[God of Nothing]

We’re getting “new shitty comic” actually.

everything woke is so fucking ugly

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

I fully expect to get a bunch of nothing out of this because I bet a ton of the incriminating stuff was destroyed years ago.

I actually think we’ll get some interesting stuff because lbj and most of the others likely to be involved are dead.

 

[Beautiful Loser]

No. He did not heil in earnest. He got riled up from all the winning and adoring applause and nerd-spazzed out. His resulting gesture was rigid, explosive, and autistic. I do believe he was trying to gesture "My heart goes out to you" or like a "behold" gesture to the crowd. Elon makes a fool of himself on stage, I am assuming his autism is over stimulated by the non stop cheering and rowdy energy of a Trump crowd.

I don't think many people believe he did a heil on purpose, even as a joke.

At this point if I was a politician I'd get my right arm surgically attached to my body. Or at least keep my right arm down as much as possible.

It would've been cooler if he DID it on MLK Jr. Day, you know the inauguration.

Could be much worse and it would be if they didn't have to at least resemble the old designs not that those were stellar to begin with

You think there's a chance they're pulling this stunt just because they want to hear that they're fired by the man himself? I would probably fuck up intentionally just so I could tell my grandkids that I was fired by the Great White Tangerine Hope.

Are you saying Shirou is... Trump? These paragraphs are art.
