The left one is slightly bigger.

I didn't really get too much into comics. I love Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows, but I stopped following him after he went to work for Marvel. He did get me into Budd Root's Cavewoman, though:

A finger is a good place to start, but get back to us when she gets her whole fist in.

That's pretty funny.

Finally found a sport I'm prepared to sit down and watch with a beer:

It's okay if it's someone you don't like. It's not okay if you like the person.

I thought MLK had already been unpersoned, because judging people by their content of their character, rather than their skin colour, is racist. Not seeing colour is a microaggression, after all.

Pretty much proving my point. ;)

Disagreeing with your lt-right shtick means that someone is "totalitarian". Or maybe it's long posts with reference to evidence? That's what totalitarian means, according to you? This is irony. Probably unintentional. Look, I get where you're coming from, but you're just as prone to the "everyone w...

They both come from positions of absolute bollocks, but trying to nail them down in an argument is as difficult as hell because they're both slippery, oily, disingenuous fuckers. That's why it was ironic. Sargon thinks because he's read a few books, he is intellectually unassailable and all his pos...

Both can be true. Sargon's biggest problem is, as, ironically, Richard Spencer put it, he thinks he's much more intelligent then he actually is. Trump, of course, did apologise for "locker room talk", so Sargon's claim that he was just imitating the Trumpian model is already suspect. It can also be ...

That's definitely true. It's become personal for Metokur. If he has anything that triggers him, it's child abuse. That's the only time I've heard him become seriously angry. Makes sense considering his history almost becoming a teacher.

That's what I meant by Sargon's Jihad. Sargon had that "Hello Jim" stream where he implied Jim was grooming children. I think Metokur is only throwing the shit back.

I watched "This Week in Stupid" for a while, probably more than a year ago. I have generally stopped watching videos where someone is reading newspaper articles because I can read faster than they can talk so I spend the entire video thinking that if I just had the link to the article I could read ...

You could even say you've had a Dark Enlightenment.

I recall a stream a while back with Jim, Ethan Ralph and Carl. There were a few barbed quips from Ralph re Benjamin's stillborn child. Jim holding himself to a higher standard did not participate - though he did read out other peoples superchats on the subject in a later stream. Yeah, Jim is my nih...

It's a pity any discussion about climate change policy inevitable degrades into whether it's human's fault and actually happening. One can agree it's happening and is human's fault and still disagree about the best course of action.

According to the nightly news (ITV) May want's to stay on for the D-Day commerorations on 6th June and Trump's state visit and then stay as caretake til Septenber while the party chooses a leader over the summer recess. She's not called Teflon Theresa for nothing. Also early exit poll indicators sh...

Yeah, I'm not that excited by Albo. I'm fairly sure that if he was opposition leader after Rudd stood down, he'd have been Prime Minister at the previous election. Now, his time has largely passed. I'm a little surprised that no one else is running, especially how keen Shorten was to prevent him bec...

It wasn't as bad as I expected. Only one person brought the election up, with a dig at Queensland, but no one else took the bait. There are people out there who believe in cosmic balance and that justice will prevail. If Game of Thrones has taught us anything, it's that it aint so (and that tits and...

I thought this just passed Australian election was relatively benign, if uninspiring. I wasn't too surprised by the result, but given that where I live was never going to be a surprise in the outcome, I didn't invest too much into my decision. I only cast a formal vote for the Senate. https://www.sp...

Am I the only person on the Pit who didn't follow Goldy's every move?

Here's a present for Kirb to show no hard feelings:

I prefer to see it as the glass half full. At least one of the two parties I didn’t want to win, lost. I could concentrate on the other one winning, but that would just make me sad.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Looks like a surprise victory for ScoMo. I was expected Labor to win.

Is there are any difference between this thread and the main thread? I agree with you here, especially when there is virtually no action on the main thread.

I didn't suggest that you supported islam as a doctrine. I suggested that this was the natural outcome of allowing mass immigration without seriously addressing cultural issues.

We sure it isn’t ready to fill in? I hate watching this place die slowly.

A major reason Trump was able to get elected is the awfulness of the media. That's also pretty much been the raison d'état of the pit since day one. The coverage of elevatorgate, when it got general coverage, was always framed poorly. That problem has only grown and spread to all other areas of news...

Dude who argued at Quillette that the IDW is not politically diverse because it's against the regressive left, returns to clarify his position, to wit: the IDW is not liberal because classical liberalism has been replaced by the superior regressive left: https://quillette.com/2019/04/27/caricaturin...
