@englishfess_ Took me a minute, but this was shade (oblique insult) implying that a woman/girl (the person who had said "lmao") has "no ass"--a way of saying she's too skinny/unattractive It's tricky bc she says "girls" which sounds general but she's using it to insult someone in particular

When you tax foreign goods, domestic producers raise their prices to match, taking the difference as profits. Immigration increases both labor supply and labor demand but tends to increase supply most in services, which+

@trappychan_ @ThexImiko The Democrats are not "in power." They hold the Presidency and a small (not filibuster-proof) majority of one house of the legislature. Republicans hold one house of the legislature and the judiciary. The reason for "not doing anything" is that there's an impasse in Congress.

I learned what happened at Boston Harbor and Appomattox in school but I was never taught what happened at Mankato, or in Tulsa, or Stonewall, never was taught what a "sundown town" was. If you don't know these things then you cannot understand America. This is wokeness.

@MarionHinzman @VitoComedy @DistressDark lowers the cost of services. Immigrants also disproportionately support the agricultural sector, keeping food prices low. Restricting immigration will increase food, childcare, delivery, homebuilding and other service prices.

@Franky_WebComic @Cybren @weredawgz It's a hard comic/property to write well. You have to really understand the hesitation to be public/obligation to be a role model, the mask that's not a mask, the universal/particular dualism, the desire to live well competing with the desire to serve others.

@RMSolitayre @Derridazs @animerobin0 @whstancil referred to as "anecdotal". In this sense I think it has a slightly different meaning--certainly connotation--than the plain English meaning.
