No, some people just straight up don't enjoy being negatively surprised.

I personally even dislike well done jumpscares, but it is made worse that in many horror flicks there isn't really a good buildup to them because they want to "get" you when you don't expect them.

To come back to comedy, people don't want the punchline of a joke to be something they loathe, they want to look forward to it.
People want to be scared, they don't want to be shocked or surprised (talking about people that don't like jumpscares, off course those who do also have every right to enjoy them).

How can it be a thing to just make a non profit organization into a for profit organization?

I thought non profits have benefits when it comes to taxation and regulations.
Why can it be allowed that the new for profit organization can just reap the rewards from those benefits that it used to grow into what it is now?

That seems to me like it should be plainly illegal.

Don't even bother.

That person is so obviously full of shit, picking the most obvious and easiest strawman to beat on.

I am vegetarian and know many vegans.
None would even think about torturing our pets to death with food that is not edible for the specific species.

On the other hands I have heard multiple omnivores tell stories about how they "know" crazy vegans that would do shit like that.

There are some crazies (like in any big group of people) and I can't know if OP accidentally ran into one, but the way they generalize makes it clear to me that they are the one with issues, not every run of the mill vegan.

Vegans usually care a great deal about animals, including carnivorous animals. So fuck them right back for spewing their indiscriminate hatred.

What are you talking about?

This strip is not even about the actual Bolsheviks.
Everything the "Bolsheviks" say is boilerplate stuff a modern democrat (or any reasonable person for that matter) would want.

The whole joke is that the republicans frame super normal stuff as communism.

Did you really not get that?

Es ist auch gar keine Debatte nötig.

Wenn man darauf achten will, dass die genutzte Sprache inklusiv und respektvoll ist, gendert man wo und wie es passt, wenn nicht nicht.

Es zu verbieten ist offensichtlich populistischer Quatsch, und erzwingen will es eigentlich keiner.

Because many feel that the bot has a bias itself, making it useless at best and actively harmful at worst.

I have no horse in this race and don't downvote the bot myself, but I have also seen it call sources center left, that are definitely not left of any reasonable center.

In Parks and Rec. there is the character Ben Wyatt (played by Adam Scott) who has a backstory of getting elected mayor at 18 and ruining his towns finances by building an ice skating rig called Ice Town.

As as EU citizen I have zero interest in moving to the UK.

But I would still much much rather live in the UK than the US.
That country is straight up fucked on a fundemental level.

Water is what makes other stuff wet.

You are part of the problem.

Pretty sure plants will reconquer that pretty quickly.

And with the plants the animals will come sooner or later.

Sind in diesem Faden ernsthaft Leute dermaßen ungeschickt dass die neuen Deckel tatsächlich ein reales Problem darstellen?

Wenn ihr nicht gerade eine körperliche Beeinträchtigung habt, was ist falsch bei euch?

Ich fand es (übrigens schon vor Monaten) für ein oder zwei Flaschen kurz ungewohnt und seitdem konsumiere ich Getränke genauso problemlos wie zuvor.

Ich habe eher den Verdacht, da wird sich mal wieder aus Prinzip aufgeregt.
