How am I being a tankie?

Very true! I guess I just never expected a random webcomic I stopped reading years ago to ever be relevant again haha.

The first link referenced in this article. That article mentions the punishments and the severity of the crime required for those punishments.

This article seemed to only latch onto the more dramatic portions and threats of the death penalty to generate clicks.

Interesting, I’d like to do more reading on the subject. Do you have any preferred sources?

In what regard?

I’m not cheerleading anything, this is about an article. I have no political goal.

You wouldn’t get imprisoned for simply saying it, though.

"If the conduct specified in Article 7 of these Opinions is carried out and the circumstances are serious, causing serious consequences or causing particularly bad effects, it shall be deemed as a “serious crime” "

You’d have to take a more active role, and your participation would have to lead to something more major. It even goes on to say that if you renounce your stance, the charges may be dismissed.

It’s wild to me that ctl+alt+del is relevant today at all. I used to read webcomics in high school all the time, CAD included. Loss was definitely eye opening, it was a real moment of “wasn’t this comic about video games?” But then it was forgotten about for so long. It’s a marvel to me that random moment in such a dated comic got meme’d on this hard.

Sensationalist headline, trading journalistic integrity for website clicks. But I suppose “shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years” doesn’t draw as much attention.

If there’s r34 for The Brave Little Toaster, there’s gotta be images of a pontoon getting swarmed by jetskis.

And the conversation that unlocks that day 1 DLC will be available in the base game, but you won’t be able to progress until you buy the DLC.

I can’t wait for the day one dlc that will allow wizards to cast fireball, warriors to equip swords, and will let rogues use stealth.

halykthered, to world in Iran's president, foreign minister and others found dead at helicopter crash site, state media says

That’s what my first thoughts were as well, but they were flying in some pretty nasty weather. Thick fog, high winds, in a remote forested mountain range. While it is entirely possible that the CIA and IDF may have collaborated on some impromptu helicopter modifications, I think the question is less “Who could have done this?” and is more “Why were they flying in those conditions?”
