[–] MisterNeon@lemmy.world 102 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh wow an internet relic.

[–] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 39 points 11 months ago

I loved this comic back in the days.

[–] Aqarius@lemmy.world 67 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Oh wow, it's still updated!

[–] ipha@lemm.ee 28 points 11 months ago

Every few months or years.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Wow, that's incredible :O Time to read through the archive!

In the immortal words of Griff: "Do you ever wonder why we're here?"

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago

Because they put a blue base on the other side of this box canyon.

[–] DontTreadOnBigfoot@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night...

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Came here for a RvB reference and wasn't disappointed

[–] Possible_EmuWrangler@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

I could call command to ask them. Ive been meaning to call them anyway. Some parts are missing off the robot kit.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's been a long time since I've seen that comic

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 2 points 11 months ago

So long I'm not quite sure if it's the right one I'm remembering

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I love this comic series!

Also, if you like them you should check out "Mad God":

It felt like it could have been in the same universe. Warning, it's very NSFW.

[–] themoken@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Mad God was incredible. I was blown away the first time I watched it.

[–] Echo5@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

Just spent an hour reading the whole series. Highly amused. Thanks for the rec!

"Hey guys! I found a way out!"

[–] sxan@midwest.social 8 points 11 months ago

Have you seen the 1977 movie "Wizards?" There's a scene in it which is this. Almost exactly.

[–] FuyuhikoDate@silkky.pub 8 points 11 months ago

[–] HerbalGamer@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

In the end you fight for which government is gonna shit on your head from now on.

[+] FullMaxPowerStirner@kbin.social -21 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Best depiction of Ukraine in a few months or years, if it keeps going.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 32 points 11 months ago (1 children)

At least on Russia side. Ukrainians defending their country.

But will their lives really be any different whether they win or lose? It's not like they're being invaded by a country with a different economic system.

Edit: Look at Crimea, how'd that go for the average Crimean? Any significant differences in their quality of life?

[–] Zorque@kbin.social 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you see no differences between the Ukrainian government, flawed as it has been, and the Russian government under Putin... you may need to look a little deeper.

[+] Dogyote -23 points 11 months ago (5 children)

No differences worth fighting for.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ukrainians disagree. And they are the ones that matter. If you want to live in slavery or without political rights, it is your choice, of course.

[–] fosforus@sopuli.xyz 0 points 11 months ago

Yeah, not only Ukraine, but pretty much every country that's next to Russia.

[+] Dogyote -8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well yeah, it's up to them, but I don't think they're monolithic. They'll eventually negotiate once they run out of men or weapons. I don't think they'd be slaves if Russia captured Kyiv either. Perhaps without political rights, but that wasn't much different than before.

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think that's exactly the point - they know how it was before, and they know how it can be by looking in neighboring EU.

[–] Dogyote -2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not worth dying for imo

[–] Dogyote -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Liberty is practically a myth

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 1 points 11 months ago

That depends where you live, what your cultural upbringing is. If you are from Russia, sure. There, it is a myth, and democracy is something to scare people by.

Says you, an anonymous nobody on the internet.

[–] grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I'm going to over to your place, take over the nicest room, lock a few people in the basement if they complain, and you'll be going to work everyday to pay for this. Sound good?

[–] cannibalia -2 points 11 months ago

Weak sauce.

[–] Dogyote -3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

lol that's like using household finances to describe how government debt works. Not an accurate analogy at all.

[–] grabyourmotherskeys@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

I guess I can head on over.

[–] wombatula@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

So by that logic, Ukraine and in fact every country that Putin sets his eyes on should just roll over and surrender?

The mere threat of violence should allow a dictator to take over, as long as the country is moderately corrupt?

I hate to break it to you, that's nearly every country in the world, so Putin (or any other dictator) could become the world's emperor if they just made a credible threat?

This is why total pacifism is insanity folks.

[–] fosforus@sopuli.xyz 0 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yet somehow almost every nation that's neighboring Russia is ready to fight Russia just for the privilege of not being in Russia. We cannot all be just delusional.

[–] dandi8@kbin.social 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What a braindead take.

[–] fosforus@sopuli.xyz -1 points 11 months ago

But will their lives really be any different whether they win or lose?

yes
