I’m pretty sure he was involved with the liberation theology movements in Argentina before the previous pope clamped down on it (in his capacity as a cardinal)

you can model the tax on the supply or the demand. in most simple models the outcome is the same

actually that’s written with stone

well yeah, there’s only so much sexy to go around. how else do you propose we save some for spiders?

sorry, I’m a little slow today. how is this seemingly keeping the economy afloat?

don’t forget ablutophobia

you’re assuming they’re doing it by accident

and that’s why you can see that once the person has gone to school they protest (in the next panel)

you then can see in the panel after they protest that they become the parent, telling their child to go to school. presumably because they forgot what they learned at school (or because they think school is the best way for children to learn about these things - which seems a little less likely)

that’s why he said: light years away

as in: there is still a great amount of distance Orban thinks Ukraine needs to cover before they converge with the EU admissions acceptability criteria

God, I can’t believe I just had to defend Orban

every dollar you raise, the fewer customers you get. the point is that you should want to raise the price whenever the relative drop in customers is less than the relative increase in price to maximise profits (where marginal cost is marginal benefit :) )

you still need to sell the burger to make your income (franchising aside for now). no matter how monopolistic you are, there is always a demand constraint

I’m a little confused. Don’t we want this to be as transparent as possible to limit conspiracies?

some injustices are structural

actually history is just our collective understanding of the past, so if it changes, history changes

Right, and this Walmart in Europe would be where exactly?

that’s just a fancy way of saying:

imagine you have two children and live in a system of gavelkind succession. now consider the share of one of the children. then forget the children and make that share the new bank balance

I think the worry is a WW3 with China

I’m sure you do :)

That being said, by choosing not to break gender norms, are you not helping reinforce what an idea of female is?

(OK, maybe I’m going round in circles here)

Anyway, you have a lovely day :)

but isn’t the difference in one case free gender expression, whereas the other is (e.g. for trans male to female): I think I’m a woman and to show this I’m going to specifically dress in the ‘stereotypically womanliest’ way possible?

or, more generally, people shouldn’t be using gender as the reason to dress and act the way they want to. else they’re affirming that a certain gender means a certain form of acting.

obviously this is an exaggeration. but since we’re playing the game.

ok, I’ll bite and role-play devil’s advocate. how do you respond to such a take?
