edit:
Also I see no numbers or any kind of reference point alluded to in that graph. Pure percentages don't really mean much.

« on: July 26, 2017, 05:46:55 PM »EDIT:
2015's military budget as compared to every other facet of government spending as well as the specific amount of spending dedicated to the military is displayed in the picture below.
As compared to the military budget in 2015 (It's doubtful that military budget has decreased or even increased by that much), $8.4 million is .001% approximately of $598.5 billion. It would be extremely insignificant to even pay ten times that (the amount paid for ED pills as indicated), which itself would translate into .01% percent of 2015's military budget.
nope
here's a more accurate graph
"we spend too much on the military"
oops

« on: July 26, 2017, 01:56:56 PM »you can't see it in that picture but next to "health" there's actually a tiny town of midgets called "and human services" that was probably intentionally hidden by whoever made that graph
the 'health' part is a pretty big label for it but if you want to break it down, a fraction of it is medical insurance and a larger fraction is actually health, which includes things like funding into research projects, prescriptions, medication & health related things. stuff that would objectively kill lives if left defunded.
are we doubting politifact now

« on: July 26, 2017, 01:32:04 PM »No it does not. HRT costs on average about $60/month or less, and that's assuming they have even decided to transition at all. That's less than the expense for someone with severe allergies who needs an epi-pen (which costs $600, each). Does it make sense to ban people from combat because they have bad allergies? How about people with HIV who need constant, expensive treatment but are otherwise perfectly functional?
as a person with a severe peanut allergy, if you do a good job at keeping away from what starts your allergies, you'll only need a refill on epi-pens annually, and if you actually care about staying safe you'll only need one injector and you'll have it on you at all times
that means if you aren't a bumbling idiot covering allergies is way cheaper than covering the illnesses transgenders have, never mind that CIA isn't going to start lobbing peanuts and beehives at people so in a combat sense mental illnesses are way more dangerous
The medical cost argument does not work here. Trans people cost a negligible amount, and a huge number of much more expensive conditions are apparently perfectly fine to have when you're in the military.
you didn't name any conditions but I'm pretty sure you get discharged from the military if you have PTSD (which is pretty close in terms of Self Delete rate to what transgenders experience)

Dark Souls art is beautiful. The way they design their characters and bosses basically follows a design philosophy where each object is a great and beautiful thing that has lost its luster.
As for cartoons, I'm trying to get my style of drawing people to be a mix of anime and not anime. I can't really detail what it looks like, but it's basically very simplified anime, so none of the huge freaky pupils and the random strands of hair that shoot out the top of people's heads. I particularly like how Trigger draws their people, considering how vibrant and colorful they appear. What I'm aiming for will probably be less anime than that, though.
And it goes without saying that Hirohiko Araki is a goddamn legend.
