[DRAGON BALL VILLAINS]

I love how nearly all of them seem to have big, swelled heads.

...Ya know, because they're villains? Villains in general are usually full of themselves, have "swelled heads"? Meh, I know when I'm not wanted...

[Mario and some cool platformer characters]

Every single character here is cooler and more charming than the gruff "sad dads" we get in almost all so-called "triple-A" mainstream games today, especially from Sony PlayStation right now. Yes, even Awesome the Possum is more awesome.

I am a bit shocked you seemed to have forgotten to include Sonic here, considering all the early-'90's Sonic knock-offs you did include here. You should also consider including Astro Bot, since he's proof that even modern Sony listens to their platformer-loving niche in the fanbase sometimes. Plus, Astro Bot is simply my GOTY 2024, it is THAT good and refreshing in this day and age.

[Blain Higgs ordering Take Out at St.Louis Bar & Grill]

As overly-simplistic as it sounds, it seems like elections all around the world simply voted out incumbents who just so happened to be in charge during the pandemic and the ensuing economic inflation. This seems to have to worked out in your province's case, as well as the UK's case where they voted out the pro-Brexit Tories in favor of a much more progressive Labour majority, not so much in the US where we just voted out the most pro-union, pro-environment President of our time simply because there was only so much he could do back when Presidents were SUPPOSED to have basically no control over the free market, and the fact that we're still better off than basically Europe and Asia as a whole did not seem to comfort people when they drove by gas station price signs still showing $3-4 dollars per gallon just for the cheapest gas every day.

I disagree that Kamala Harris didn't try her absolute hardest to encourage people to vote FOR her and not just against Trump, especially with constant ads even in deep Blue states reminding people that Trump will only benefit people like Elon Musk specifically and bring back inflation--her Achilles heel, besides representing a status quo saddled with post-COVID inflation woes, was unfortunately that she was not only a woman, but a woman of color, and even the woman of color voters in our country were essentially trained by the media and societal stigma to only trust elderly white dudes to run the entire country, just like every other country that only trusts the ethnic "majority" in their country for such jobs. At least that's my best explanation why she couldn't even at least win the popular vote like Hillary Clinton did in 2016, and we HATED Hillary Clinton.

Thanks for the reminder, though, that other countries are fine or even better off without America's leadership--of course, even now we are trained in this conceited America-centric worldview to think that absolutely everything the United States does, good and especially bad, will automatically ruin every other country's route to democracy and possibly even destroy the world. As well as a reminder that local elections arguably affect our lives more than whoever's in charge in a building thousands of miles away--I can at least take comfort that my own district and state went the exact opposite direction of the entire rest of the country, and thus we are even more unified than in 2016-2020 to blunt the impact of a second Trump Presidency.

Sorry for ALL the reading you have to do here, but right now I should take all the positive self-talks, silver linings, and yes, "copium" I could get.

[Lemansa, Peanuts Style!]

Making everything in the "Peanuts" style is underrated.

KittyhawkMontrose responds:

It's a lot of fun! I got another on the way. 😄

[Tune in. 📺]

We get what we deserve if the prospect of not only a female President, but another President of color proved too much of a risk even for the minorities of our country, compared to a bunch of plutocratic tech-bros.

[autumm leaves]

I wish my own dog gave me a pleasant citrus scent when he licked me...
...Instead of a poop scent. 'Cuz he eats poop. I do not let my dog lick me, ever.

[powerpuff Mutans]

Aren't the Powerpuff Girls over-powered enough as they are??

strangermen responds:

well, here it would be a reinterpretation, instead of being exposed to chemical x, now they were born with the mutant genes

[Beast Boy: Lone Wolf]

Beast Boy would never willingly be a lone wolf, he loves his Teen Titans "family" too much.

[State of Mind]

@RED-CHAMBER It would remove everything else, too. Even the good stuff. I know this is just an edgy joke, but I just want to remind people that God turns the bad into the good (and works in other mysterious ways) and to search for help if the inevitable edgy suicide jokes we get during the late fall/winter season/post-Election season is actually worsening your seasonal depression in any way.

[Hierachy of Needs]

Whatever works!
