@Satsuma meanwhile biden officials keep being like “but you know how the iraq war WENT tho, right??” over and over

@Satsuma they're literally saying “the state of israel should be allowed to wage its own version of the iraq war like the u·s famously did after 9/11” out loud in public now

« It became evident to U.S. officials that Israeli leaders believed mass civilian casualties were an acceptable price in the military campaign. In private conversations with American counterparts, Israeli officials referred to how the United States and other allied powers resorted to devastating bombings in Germany and Japan during World War II — including the dropping of the two atomic warheads in Hiroshima and Nagasaki — to try to defeat those countries. »

« Mr. Blinken has visited Israel three times. Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III met with his counterparts there, along with Gen. Michael E. Kurilla, the commander of Central Command, and then Rishi Sunak, the British prime minister. A European official said their visits were not coordinated with the United States but that everyone had the same idea that it would be hard to start a ground invasion while senior officials were in the waiting room. » lmao well that's a strategy i guess

@Satsuma sure but is having your characters appear to be ignorant westerners really the vibe you want to give for your comic

even if we had magically cured covid i would still mask during cold & flu season it's fucking october

at some point your comic stops just being a no-COVID AU and becomes a “world which still doesn't know how respiratory illnesses work” AU

at some point artists are going to get over their personal reservations and just accept that some people are like this now, including probably members of their principal cast, but we aren't there yet

@Satsuma like it doesn't bother me that college students in DoA never mask because college students are terrible and it isn't really a realistic webcomic but you're trying to tell me Hannelore?? is just fine walking into a stranger's apartment without a mask on??

@Satsuma not all webcomics but QC is adult enough and slice of life enough that i expect people to take common-sense measures to protect each other’s health

at that point where i’m now bothered that the characters in QC aren’t wearing masks

@KitRedgrave a lot of people publish tweets under the name of poetry because there isn't a genre of literature for tweets but i still hold that they are different things

@KitRedgrave shitposts make you 🤔, poems make you 🤯, very different vibes
