Many historians believe the 15th POTUS, James Buchanan, was gay and closeted. Openly gay Pete Buttigieg (D) has ran for president within recent years but ultimately did not win his party’s nomination.
However, there are two determining factors for a more modern day scenario:
-
While not categorically disqualifying on any legal level, would a lack of heteronormativity be rejected by the majority of voters (as processed through the Electoral College)? Bigotry unfortunately seems to be the winning method.
-
Will there even be a specter of fair and free elections for POTUS in the future? (Doubtful)

Yeah, with the asterisk in the title and the discussion about it, I would think that this was the marketing plan from the start. The movie’s performance may have affected when exactly they decided to pull the trigger on the rebrand though.

IIRC, the Death Star was a secret to everyone outside of the Empire until Rogue One, which took place only a couple of days before it was blown up in A New Hope. In the Imperial meeting scene of A New Hope, Tarkin says “Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station,” which implies the threat of the Death Star is meant to be widely known after its public demonstration on Alderaan; public sentiment became unnecessary once they could hold a gun to the head of every possible dissident as well as to their world. I don’t see how this meme could take place after A New Hope since the destruction of both Alderaan and the Death Star would be widely known and verifiable by that point.

The hands don’t seem off to me, especially if the model has done a lot of hand-on labor. The thing that sticks out to me as an indicator of this being not AI generated is the markings on the strand board to the right of the model’s belt; I don’t think an AI would take into consideration the product info marked onto raw material, let alone be able to place three squares of that info in line. If we could find actual raw strand board with those specific product markings, especially one sold by Home Depot, that would suggest it to be an actual photograph. Identifying the model in the photo and finding photos of him outside of Home Depot’s promo shots would also indicate it’s a photo. In either case of it being a photo or AI-gen, the marketing team still could have done some photoshopping as they see fit.

This is from the subreddit mods’ rules. I don’t see it necessarily implying OP to be in the wrong or in the right. It really just implies those damn corporate admins are at fault. OP could just want a platform which doesn’t censor a discussion on subject matter alone.

Voting out was the initial peaceful response. Thanos’ coup attempt on Jan. 6 required force to be stopped and famously afterwards Iron Man looked at the camera and said “So that just happened”

- Comment on How to get a package to the right owner? 1 week ago:
If the address is incorrect, you could try finding the correct address and deliver it yourself, or maybe contact the post office local to that area to arrange a delivery of sorts?
I once got an Amazon package addressed to the previous resident of my apartment, and I was expecting packages of my own at the time so I opened it without reading the name of the intended recipient. Realizing it wasn’t mine, I was able to locate the intended recipient on LinkedIn and found her workplace, which happened to be nearby. I asked for her at the workplace’s front desk (without realizing that I was talking to her) and she said to deliver any other packages meant for her to that workplace. With mail (in the US, at least), you can write “Not at this address” on the envelope and mail it and it should find its way to the intended recipient.

Actually, this rudimentary “matchmaker” site worked by having people select their gender, the gender(s) they want their partner to be, their age range, and the age range they want their partner to be in. I then made myself the match for each person in the cross-section of people who met my criteria and people whose criteria I met*, and everybody else was more happily matched with the bagel. Everyone knew it was in jest overall.
*footnote: In order the favor the bagel, if someone selected multiple gender options for them to match with, the website selected the bagel for the match even if one of those genders were my own. The bagel had also previously been established as non-binary (they/them/theirs), for the record.

I made a dating website once where the only possible matches were me or a bagel. People preferred the bagel.

Assuming you’re asking in earnest:
On a surface level, the banal averageness of features. There is no artist’s style — it’s just drawn in form of the “generic web comic” genre.
On a closer level, there are inconsistencies with background details that wouldn’t occur with an actual artist’s work. If somebody was manually drawing the background digitally, they would likely copy and paste the assets to both be consistent and to work efficiently (without a compromise to the work itself). The door and shelf of bottles behind the Helium change between frames, for example. If an artist were drawing this with physical pen and paper, they would care enough to meticulously recreate the bottles between frames if they were even going to include them with that much detail at all.
The text itself is also revealing. Not only is it inconsistent in size, boldness, and centering (ex. from one He to another), but the words spoken by the bartender are running out of space in the speechbubble. Artists can make mistakes like this in their publications, but consistently making errors that a quick lookover would catch shows that the “creator” of the content just wants it made, rather than it made well.
