[capitalist voice]: in the dystopian commie hellscape that is china, housing just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper, leaving people who buy and then re-sell houses instead of doing actual work high and dry, while mean greedy workers selfishly buy houses, to live in.
the problem is not that houses are cheap but that the government encouraged the middle classes to put all their money in housing as a supposedly safe investment so people are fucked without savings
the government encouraged the middle classes to put all their money in housing as a supposedly safe investment
the chinese government has actually specifically been saying houses should be for living in, and not used as an investment, going back at least as far as 2017.
Some character designs with some…atypical color choices? I guess. I don’t know what’s going on in that area.
This is Nimona and her supervillain friend (He doesn’t have a name yet, I’m working on that). Nimona is his sidekick/squire, they’re like the Batman and Robin of slightly Medieval villains, but she’s actually way more evil than him. He does what he does to make a point, and he doesn’t really want anyone get hurt - Nimona just gets a kick out of destroying stuff.
I’m going to attempt to make a two page comic with them? We’ll see how this goes.

This doesn’t sound healing. Sounds like she’s almost mute and borderline catatonic at times following her ordeal.
If this little girl ever hurts herself, do you think she would be to blame?
Or would you consider the many people who forced her into this situation to be responsible?
Those responsible of forcing a 13 year old child into giving birth to her rapists baby:
Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court
Amy Coney Barrett, Supreme Court
Neil M. Gorsuch, Supreme Court
Samuel A. Alito, Jr, Supreme Court
Brett M. Kavanaugh, Supreme Court
And of course… Her rapist, the stranger who forced her pregnancy in the first place!
They all played a part in a 13 year old girl being forced to give birth, and people are acting like this is a good opportunity for her???!!!
I would lack enough sanity to eat myself alive right in the maternity ward.
Fuck the United States
And every “prolife” activist and everyone who voted Republican and every dipshit who voted libertarian or green and every pretentious idiot who thinks they’re above politics or two good to vote for the lesser of two evils. It’s their fault too.
I just saw someone say the words “jokingly gaslight” this might be a good time to reintroduce the internet to the terms “lying” or perhaps “pranking” or even just “joking” on it’s own
Okay, say it with me guys…
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they’ll believe that it’s true, then that’s lying.
If you are giving someone wrong information under the assumption that they’ll ultimately realise that it’s false, and that they will find this funny, then that’s joking.
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they’ll believe that it’s true and that their response will be funny, then that’s a prank.
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they will notice the differences between your presentation of reality and their perception of it, and come to doubt their ability to judge what is and is not real, then that’s gaslighting.
“Water bombers flew throughout the night and authorities warned that the fire could reach the city by the weekend. Evacuation flights are also due to begin on Thursday afternoon, and will continue until the entire population has safely left the city, said the Yellowknife mayor, Rebecca Alty. She warned residents to bring water and food with them to the city’s airport as they could face long waits to get on a flight. The out-of-control wildfire – which was least measured at 163,000 hectares wide (402,000 acres) – is currently 16km from Yellowknife.”
Important to note that ALL trans people are targeted by this ruling. Trans men will be stripped of all chess titles won, which can only be returned to them by “changing the gender back to a woman” (a direct quote from the ICF’s ruling). ALL transgender chess players will be marked as trans in their files.
Not trying to deflect from the blatant and virulent transmisogyny present here. Just giving a bit more info.
Erin Reed did a good breakdown of the ruling here:
not to be problematic but i literally do not give a shit about age gaps when dating vampires. they thirst for your blood. “but it’s predatory!!!!” yeah. it is. “they’re preying on you!!!” they’re vampires. they do that. “it’s a power imbalance!!!!!!” what part of vampires are you not getting
they eat people and can turn into bats and crawl around on walls, lizard fashion, and can hypnotize you with your eyes. a) the age gap is not the creepy part and b) the creep factor is kinda the appeal
they don’t age. that’s part of the horror of it actually. would you accept eternal life, if you can never progress? can never grow or change? you’ll live forever, eternal youth, but frozen exactly as you are now. you will never become the person you’re meant to be. you are trapped in the mind of a 17-year-old forever. also ‘theoretically old if you disregard the fact that he’s a vampire’ doesn’t even make the top 20 worst things about edward cullen list. girl he’s mormon. prioritize
I was nodding along with this the whole time until that last sentence, which hit me like a folding chair
