I’m pretty sure he was involved with the liberation theology movements in Argentina before the previous pope clamped down on it (in his capacity as a cardinal)

so sexy

you can model the tax on the supply or the demand. in most simple models the outcome is the same

well yeah, there’s only so much sexy to go around. how else do you propose we save some for spiders?

yeah but by Cantor’s diagonal argument, you still wouldn’t be listing all the real numbers

assuming the interval includes all of the real numbers, then it is definitely larger than aleph null (the size of all countable infinities)

and that’s why you can see that once the person has gone to school they protest (in the next panel)

you then can see in the panel after they protest that they become the parent, telling their child to go to school. presumably because they forgot what they learned at school (or because they think school is the best way for children to learn about these things - which seems a little less likely)

yeah, but where do you think that information comes from? that’s right, research. it’s research papers all the way down.

don’t get carried away by big research /s

every dollar you raise, the fewer customers you get. the point is that you should want to raise the price whenever the relative drop in customers is less than the relative increase in price to maximise profits (where marginal cost is marginal benefit :) )

you still need to sell the burger to make your income (franchising aside for now). no matter how monopolistic you are, there is always a demand constraint

some injustices are structural

3rd panel, second shelf from the bottom

actually history is just our collective understanding of the past, so if it changes, history changes

Right, and this Walmart in Europe would be where exactly?

I’m sure you do :)

That being said, by choosing not to break gender norms, are you not helping reinforce what an idea of female is?

(OK, maybe I’m going round in circles here)

Anyway, you have a lovely day :)

but isn’t the difference in one case free gender expression, whereas the other is (e.g. for trans male to female): I think I’m a woman and to show this I’m going to specifically dress in the ‘stereotypically womanliest’ way possible?

or, more generally, people shouldn’t be using gender as the reason to dress and act the way they want to. else they’re affirming that a certain gender means a certain form of acting.

obviously this is an exaggeration. but since we’re playing the game.

ok, I’ll bite and role-play devil’s advocate. how do you respond to such a take?

well if the feminist movement is all about deconstructing gender and removing fixed ideas of gender, then surely the trans movement is reversing this by reinforcing stereotypes in how people dress etc. /s

right, except sometimes it’s easier to impose conditions on certain countries than others. for example the US was able to get the previous Indian administration to sign a treaty ceding partial control of their arsenal to them, on threat of sanctions (if I recall correctly). as much as the US might want to do something like that with China, it wouldn’t be anywhere near as easy to pull off.

this is just an example, I’m not attaching moral value to what occurred/occurs
