Why's he disappointed? I'd be fucking siked
He's a guy from the monarchy, what else do you expect?
(*psyched)
Ooh maybe you can help me with a word I always am unsure how to spell, you know how when something doesn't bother you, you say you were unfazed by it, how do you spell that word? Unphased?
Faze means to frighten or cause hesitation, it's Germanic
Phase is Greek in origin =)
My ex was one of those. Believe me, it's not all it's cracked up to be. But the sex was great!
Edit: Whoops looks like my joke offended a few of you. I guess it was the one user who took the time to look up one comment I made weeks ago that really shows how obsessed some can get. Creepy. Enjoy reading my history and try not to keep me in your thoughts for too long.
A decent human? I can see why you’re their ex.
I think the fact that it's the very first thing she said that's is the issue. People who are constantly "on" are not fun to be around long term.
It's not the first thing she says, it's the only thing. It's a two panel comic not a novel, the format forces brevity.
It's okay if you've never been in a relationship. Maybe one day when you grow up you might feel something physical instead of just your hand and an AI GFE.
Bro, you should have clarified instead of attacking.
I took your statement to mean that your ex was one of those people where everything they say is centered around some cause, which can definitely be exhausting.
People took it to mean that you were annoyed that your ex supported things like the humane treatment of immigrants.
It's literally right there in OPs comic. LmAO wow people really were quick to center it on their political beliefs. Good for them, just lets others know how easily triggered they are.
I'll probably be banned by that users 30 communities they mod because I cracked a joke right back at them.
I really would like to know what it feels like to perpetually be the victim of every human interaction you experience. How exhausting is it? Do you have like a rolodex of excuses to bring up?
Idk man, it sounds like you probably weren't their type.
pulls up one comment from a users history
Obsess much? Am I on your mind that badly? Please let me know how I hurt your feelings.
It took maybe a minute to find a comment, but okay. But it does seem like she would not have been interested in you if she knew you better before that.
Would it help if I gave you relationship advice?
The crazy ones always are
I don't see how she's crazy. She's right. How are you going to accept a giant copper statue, place it at what was considered at the time to be the entrance to our country, which all immagrants would see, and then put a plaque on it that says:
How are you going to do all that, then kill the inhabitants of this land, and then call Mexicans (which owned like 1/3rd of the land now called America) illegal?
So you're saying the US literally is not allowed to have any immigration laws?
"So you're saying that the people who stole the land and murdered the inhabitants can't tell other people they can't come onto stolen land??"
Rephrased to be more accurate
Yeah. I don't agree with that. I think it's quite reasonable that the country that now exists can have laws governing intake of people.
What other options are there?
I get the vibe. But give me one reasonable alternative.
Edit: I see nine down votes, one insult, and one option that only is reasonable if the resulting country would rely on the US for defense. Which is to say, there's no reasonable option behind this cool catch phrase. It's just a cool catch phrase. And I get down voting because I'm insulting. Your cool catchphrase. But we're not going to get anywhere if we're working off vibes.

Whether or not you think that's a reasonable solution, until we start honoring the broken treaties and actually respect indigenous people, I don't have too much respect for the current immigration hand wringing
I could see this working in a world where people were sensible. I'd certainly support giving back some portion of the country and saying "ok you're your own country now, have at it".
Where people will fight to the death is: which parts and how much land.
But this at least is could be the framework for a reasonable option.
You act like the people that were here before didn't have laws or society or ways of dealing with outsiders, and that's pretty fucking gross of you
Nope. That's actually my point. Can't have a society without rules for entry.
So "no one is illegal on stolen land" is saying "you stole the land and built a society, and that society can't have the rules necessary to exist."
It poses no next step and no real solution to the problem. It feels nice and gets us nowhere.
Mkay, then your point is based solely on xenophobia and incorrect assumptions. I hope you take a moment to reflect on that, and try and come up with something better.
So you CAN have a society without rules for entry?
Yes
Ok cool. Do guy comes into society. No job. Gets job. Doesn't pay taxes?
No one pays taxes in a moneyless, classless society. You don't have a very good imagination, do you?
Oh, yeah. I can't imagine how difficult it'd be to route resources without an intermediary object to barter.
I'm sorry, I don't think I can help you then
I cant speak for what they are saying but thats what im saying. Borders only exist to prop up the owning class and pit the working classes against eachother.
Sure, but borderless doesn't mean lawless. I'm a world with no borders you'd have no immigration. But you'd still have laws applied when people are born, which is effectively the same thing. Giving them an ID. Making sure they're getting their education and vaccines. Etc.
And if you somehow avoided doing those things, that's breaking the law and you'd be illegally outside the system.
Better countries have proven they do not need to be the way they are. The EU Shengen area let the policies of the era of empires and kingdoms fall away while preseving a countries identity. The current US system can be described as "cruel by design" and needs to be removed and its facilitators barred from civil service.
Oh, 100%. The system sucks and needs drastic replacing.
Nothing “crazy” about respecting fist nations peoples or immigrants.
Hell yeah brother
I'm way too horny to comment on this appropriately.
