    Friday was my fault. Again.
    No more politics or religion except
    for what’s mentioned in the comic.
    Thank you.

      Your site, your rules.
      Personally, I didn’t think it was too far out there.
      This time.
      But it’s not something that I would want to do very often.

              FWIW, PC, I don’t have any problem with a Caliphate arising in
              Europe. For one thing we don’t know when (in real world terms)
              the fall occurred. The percentage of Islamists in Europe is
              growing rapidly. A generation from now if a catastrophic event
              occurs like depicted in PC’s story there could very well be
              sufficient numbers of Muslims to result in a Caliphate. This isn’t
              politics it’s just going by history. I don’t think the Klaus Schwab
              and the WEF elites in Europe are going to enjoy what results
              from their “great reset”.

                They think that they will be able to remain in control.
                But the horror that they wish to release on us cannot
                be bent to their will.

                As a former history teacher, I have to say that the tiny nudges
                of events can lead to totally unpredictable results. (History wasn’t
                my field. I was the head of the foreign language department, and
                it was assigned as one of those “related field” assignments.) It’s
                easy to forget how close Europe came to being part of the caliphate,
                and only the rise of Charlemagne put an unexpected stop to it.

      If this is about my comments,
      I don’t mind about things mentioned in the comic.
      I just feel the urge to comment when i think it
      is out of reality.
      Lots in the comic is very american and not a
      thing in my country anyway.
      If i want to just stay in my bubble i would not
      be here anyway.

        It wasn’t about your comments, it was the entire discussion.
        Both of us.
        I would rather not have discussions of religion, politics or
        climate here other than what relates to the storyline.
        Too divisive, this should be a refuge from real life,
        not a reminder.

      For example my culture has much less problems with
      being naked than the USA,
      but more problems with showing violence and guns.
      So, your comic would be possibly considered not safe
      for children in my place because of some depiction
      of violence not for some nipples in the bathtub.

        Actually, there is very little graphic violence in the comic,
        other than what is needed for the story.
        If the mere presence of a firearm in a webcomic is enough to
        give someone the vapors, then they are too weak and stupid
        for me to be concerned.
        I wish to God that some things had never happened,
        but if one of the weak people had had to live through just
        one of the ugly episodes in my life, they would have probably
        fallen to the ground in a fetal position and never arisen.
        I have little sympathy for the people who will not understand
        the difference between an inert object and the monster who
        chooses to use that object to harm others.
        Nor the weaklings who will condemn the object and not the
        monster who wields it.

          Sorry for your bad experiences.
          I have been in the army and shot with everything they had.
          I just don’t think guns belong in the hands of civilians
          except for hunting.

          I worked in Libya before and after the revolution.
          Just an 8 month break.
          I also visited the international cemetery in Benghasi
          with a british colleague,
          since an uncle of him was buried there.
          It was 2013 and road checks everywhere.
          Lots of guns around and i was not happy with it.
          As soon as the devil was out of the bottle and
          guns everywhere also violent crimes went overhand.

            Here, in states where people can carry firearms,
            violent crime actually goes down.
            No one wants to pull a knife on someone who may be armed.
            Unlike in Britain… Or Europe, where knives seem to be
            the weapon of choice among a certain violent demographic.
            The worst places for crime in the US are where the
            average citizen can not be armed.
            A few months back, I was waiting outside of an auto
            shop for my car to be repaired.
            There were three black men outside with me,
            all of us were armed.
            For that time, it was the safest corner of town.
            We had a good conversation.
            Most police officers prefer an armed citizenry.
            I wonder why.

              The crime rate in my country is significantly lower than in USA.
              The murder rate is at the lowest level of the last decades. The
              violent crime rate in total (murder, rape, kidnapping for ransom,
              injury after assault, robbery, burglary, fistfight) was at an all
              time low until after corona lock downs. It is still unknown what
              the exact reasons are. Since it is not murder, rape and kidnapping
              it is obviously robbery, burglary and fistfights.
              But i don’t know more specifics.

              the news in some media about knifes in germany are exaggerated by
              some notorious media. It was always the same with each wave of
              immigrants. In the 50s the sneaky italians with knifes. In the 60s
              and 70s the Turks with knifes, in the 90s the russians (who claimed
              to have german ancestors) and the Yugoslavians with knifes. The
              only big increase in crime happened with the end of the cold war
              and people from east europe coming in.

                I am sure there are some. Mostly in bigger cities.
                For women it might be more such places and for
                people who do not look german enough even more.

                actually no.! the US crime rate is lower..
                2335.2 (US) vs 6762 (Gemany) per 100,000 people.
                BUT we have alot more people..
                333,287,557 (US) vs 84.4 million in Germany.
                this is 2022 numbers.. and they vary year to year.
                now to get it close,, 84 X 4 = 336..
                2335 X 4 = 9340,. so when you add the people you
                get the bigger numbers..

          Personally i had a bad experience when i was young and in a nightclub.
          There was a show, some people very noisy and i was stupid enough,
          to ask them being quiet. One came at me and took a knife out.
          We were surrounded with people and i could not run away.
          He was drunk and i was lucky to wrangle the knife out of his hand,
          kicked it off and then disappeared.
          A minute later my knees started trembling.

          One last thing. I live in a 55000 people city now and
          the last murder happened 1989.
          There was an attack at a women few years ago –
          two german boys did hurt her.
          Maybe we are just lucky but there is not much bad happening
          here, even with the refugees from different countries.
          Most are in school or working now.
          My wife got surgery from an egyptian doctor and in
          rehabilitation clinic is was
          a syrian orthopedic doctor. I guess the german doctors
          prefer to work in the bigger cities.

      It might be a shock for you, but this is actually
      a park in the city of Oslo, Norway,
      with modern sculptures for everybody to see:

      And i have seen a group of women at the baseball

    This trip has been pretty uneventful and satisfying,
    except for Gopi of course.

    That is worrying, why would anyone want to track Teresa
    without her knowing? Unless they are tracking the troops
    training, and Teresa’s wasn’t taken in account…
    Neither makes much sense, the full might of the navy
    would come crashing down on anyone attacking…
    Hell even trainees would be far better than anyone
    else’s normal troops! Just so crazy.

      The Empire covers only part of Earth and we

      If so I would hate to be in those people’s shoes.
      The Empire’s troops love and are fanatically loyal to Teresa.
      Thanks to the dragonflies her location will always be known.

        I kinda doubt it, while that guy clearly had resources,
        I don’t see him going after her would bring any benefit to him.
        It is a mystery, but if it’s just to keep tabs on her there
        are easier ways, like being friendly. It would take longer,
        granted, but far safer for him.
        But he did seem like the impatient type…

        I was thinking the same thing. We know he has access to resources and tech
        that could do this. We (or I) suspect he may have been behind the theft and
        enslavement of the military AIs. We don’t know why he’s fixated on Teresa,
        other than the connection to her mother, or what his intentions are, just that
        since he’s being secretive, odds are they are not something she would welcome.

          You can trim the claws, like trimming human
          fingernails. Just be sure to have someone else
          to assist by wrapping said cat in a thick towel.
          And don’t trim too short, there’s a blood vessel
          in each claw. There’s a small battery operated
          rotary drum sander you may want to consider
          vs a standard clipper.

            When I used to volunteer at the shelter, I trimmed the front

            I had a small dremal I can use, but she’s still skittish and is likely to panic.
            Since I’ve had her, shes gone from an under-weight, terrified stray kitten
            to a lovable “house cat” with a few issues.

          “vet [says] de-clawing is inhuman”
          You might consider getting another vet. I consider de-clawing one
          of the two absolutely essential field mods needed to make a cat a
          proper house pet. The other is spaying/neutering. If you were
          going to let it run the ville I could see not deleting the claws but
          cats with front claws can be incredibly destructive – not because
          they’re intentionally destructive but just because they have to
          sharpen those claws. Anything that a cat sharpens its claws on is
          going to be destroyed. Even at that you still have to be careful not
          to startle the critter while it’s in your lap.

            One common field mod is to remove the front claws only.
            Cats destroy furniture with the front claws and gut
            their enemies with the rear.
            Agree completely on the spay/denutting.

              I don’t intend to let her out, but with both my father and
              wife using rolling walkers, it’s likely to happen. The vet
              that did her runs a low-cost clinic that fixes strays and
              releases them back out into the wild, which is great,
              but doesn’t solve the problem of people dumping them.

            It’s not because I startle her, she’s just likes to launch off my lap,
            or misses the jump, claws her way up. My leather desk chair’s
            arm rest is ruined because of that. She a sweet, lovable cat, but
            as a recovering abandoned stray, she has some issues to work out.
            If I reach out to pet her, she cringes, like she thinks I’m going
            to hit her.

          While it was ugly the first few times, I finally got my cat to
          let me trim the tips of her claws with a pair of nail clippers.
          She learned that after I was done, she would get a palm full of
          the most expensive gourmet cat treats and lots of affection.
          When I got out the clippers and rang the little bell,
          she would come running and jump right into my lap.

      Sorry but you have run afoul of the principle of the difference
      between cats and dogs. Briefly stated it is:
      “Dogs have masters, cats have staff.”

        Oh sure, I expected it, I was mainly joking about it.
        Although, her jamming her face into my ass when I go
        to sit on the bed is getting to be annoying…

        I guess tripping me while I’m walking got boring? It’s bad enough
        she likes to attack my feet while I’m sleeping, I have a bad case
        of neuropathy in both feet and that REALLY hurts, even if it’s just
        playful.

      My problem is with a cat who just HAS to be next to my face,
      purring loudly around midnight every night. I claim to be a
      cat whisperer, but this boy is more stubborn than any cat I’ve
      ever met before.

        I hear you, she does that too, it’s as if she’s saying “HEY! wake up
        and pet me damnit!” I’ve heard that’s called Kitten Kisses, it’s more
        like “Hey, I know you’re alive, PET ME! FEED ME!” heh. 😛 That or
        wrapping herself around the top of our heads “for warmth”…
