  • The people that always stay home weren’t gonna come out. They never do. 2020 is said to have had historic levels of turnout and it had 2/3rds of eligible voters coming out to vote. I wouldn’t count on that last third who always sits out to suddenly realize they’re screwing themselves and everyone else. I still don’t know where the 10 million number is coming from. Who’s projections and statistics? Would it be the same people who projected that despite a close race, Harris would be the likely winner? I’m not sure they’re all that credible at the moment. I think people shifted right and I think that sucks a lot. I wish I had a solution, but I don’t. There were any number of good reasons to come out and vote for Harris, or at least against FatPutin, but here we are.


  • Where did you get that 11 million number? Vote totals so far are a little more than 5 million short of 2020. Everyone keeps talking about 11 million, 15 million, 20 million people who stayed home and I think it’s frankly a way to cope with the hard and gross truth that the country shifted right. Some people stayed home this year, but from all the sources I can see, it’s nowhere near 11 million, and the fascist candidate increasing his vote totals every year is very alarming. I get people who don’t want to face that. It’s scary as hell, especially if you’re in an out group. In my traditionally deeply blue state, the split gap between Harris and The Fanta Menace was like 55/45. That’s WAY too close for comfort and while people staying home is a problem, it’s not the main problem this time around.

    What’s wrong with that? This is the same world where a 10 year old can force a legalized cockfight with exotic animals they’ve trained in order to capture said god themselves, at which point the god will do their bidding and fight other exotic animals on the kid’s behalf. And all without parental supervision! This comic seems just as plausible as anything else that happens in this world.





  • You’re all wrong. It’s DriveClub. They put so much detail in the simulation of air pressure, angle of light coming from the sun, dynamic volumetric clouds, and so much more. On top of that, they simulate their weather on the conditions 100 miles out from the actual racetrack to make things as realistic as possible. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
