That’s Marcille Donato from Delicious in Dungeon.

(Watch it. It’s really good.)

Ah, a Gentoo user.

Where we’re going, Marty, we don’t need wires!

Your spoiler tags aren’t working. I think Lemmy uses a different style from Reddit.

Women are my favorite guy.

For those who are still out of the loop, the green-haired girl is Übel from Frieren: Beyond Jorney’s End and the unamused elf is Marcille Donato from Delicious in Dungeon.

Is it just me, or are those the Evangelion kids? (Asuka, Kaworu, Shinji, and Rei, more specifically.)

I agree with the statement. But my vision for a peaceful future isn’t a perpetual Mexican standoff. Nor do I like the idea of political power and representation being directly proportional to one’s intent and capability to do violence.

Also, if owning firearms is a requirement for civic participation, what you’ve really just done is institute a tax that goes directly to gun manufacturers.

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars, and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man… for precisely the same reasons.

It’s the best we’ve got for now, unfortunately. And yeah, it sucks ass. Hope we get to see FPTP die in my lifetime, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

We’re talking specifically about people who want a more progressive candidate who won’t back a genocide. No, I don’t think such people are likely to vote for Trump.

People with leftist principles aren’t equally likely to support all candidates in an election. You have to take the sampling bias into account.

I have yet to see a single cogent explanation of what not voting for Biden in the general election will accomplish.

End the genocide? No, we’re likely to just get more genocide.

Put a more progressive third-party candidate in power? Only if everyone gets behind the same extremely popular candidate. No such candidate exists.

Send a message to establishment Democrats and liberals in general? Sure, it would send a message. Exactly how many Palestinian, Ukranian, and American lives are you willing to sacrifice for that, though? Assuming such a gambit even rewards you with a positive outcome in another four years.

Ah, I recognize the source of this panel.

But are you QPU-aligned? Checkmate, transmascs.

Is this The Part Where He Kills You?

GIFs are just the worst format for video. They only took off because the standard was universally supported in browsers.

Please, for the love of god, use an actual video codec.

Holy shit, an Earthbound reference!

The “right to control distribution” is utterly unenforceable in a world with computers and the internet. The only way to enforce that right is to have centralized institutions with absolute control over every computer.

I can understand a need for controlling personal information in order to protect the user privacy. I can even get behind the idea of having to control dangerous information, like schematics for nuclear weapon systems. I do not support the idea of moving towards a world where the NSA has a rootkit on every computer because capitalism can’t be bothered that artists make enough to eat.

Maybe there is an inherent problem with a social system in which so many people struggle to make a living. And maybe the solution isn’t to create artificial scarcity in computer systems where information can be shared freely.

Not unless they were training the language models on customer interactions. I could see them doing this, but I would also expect the dataset to be curated.

Definitely missing the joke here. What anime is this?
