Or we could do metric time

This meme already ignores the fact that it's only produced a calendar of 364 days.

Most proposed versions I've seen of this calendar have New Year's Day as a standalone holiday, so the leap day presumably tacks on to that every 4 years?

floats away in disgust

On top of everything others have said, there's no watermark, signature, url, etc from an original artist. Webcomics like this will always have one unless it's removed by a reposter, which yeah, that happens, but I feel not as often these days. And when it does, it's a pretty shitty thing to do, and not a good situation either.

Tommy Lee Walker, the Black Dallas Man Executed for 1954 Murder, Declared Innocent

Reply in thread

When an innocent person is killed, even if you mistakenly thought they really really deserved it, that's murder. What do we do with murderers? We kill them. But if one supports a system that murders, they become party to that murder. I'm not keen on being a part of a murder system, no matter how occasional.

Alternatively, to appeal to the selfish, if one is willing to allow a few innocents to die for a broken system to function, they they'd better be okay with being one of those innocents.

Either way, I don't trust the state to decide who lives and dies.
