This is how the comic is shown on the artist’s website and we went through a whole thing in this community about someone modifying the comic already.

This is also kind of getting into the reason why RSS failed. People wanted content without ads or paying for it and a lot of content providers didn’t see the utility of giving away the content for free without the chance for revenue to come in.

Kids are cheap if you accept half will die before adulthood and most will only do unskilled labor.

This isn’t really enshittification, though. People used to always have the right to self repair. That right got curtailed once it became a threat to profit margins.

This is a law issue.

There’s nowhere to expand to.

There is a question of timeline. Maybe in 10+ years, but not 2.

The early wave of layoffs in the sector “due to AI” were at the same time as the interest rate went up, pushing all tech companies to start focusing on profit. A lot of unprofitable divisions were cut because it stopped making financial sense to invest in products that didn’t have day 1 revenue.

You’re now seeing companies doing layoffs and claiming AI to either hide that development in their companies have stalled or they are taking advantage of their new shiny remote work platforms to push wages down by shifting workers to places with lower cost of living.

AI labor isn’t worth its tokens, even when they are heavily discounted to gain market share. It might be in a decade, but not now.

Ebola isn’t going to affect Trump’s support with his base. Hell, measles probably won’t.

Probably Hegseth. RFK hasn’t done anything that makes Trump look weak. The Iran War, in contrast, makes Trump look really bad.

The only one I do is EXTREME IRONING!!!

Engineered Plastic Components?

The problem is that project management timelines are kind of useless when you’re measuring goals on the realm of 5 years.

But the IP is still for children and it is still very likely that Game Freak and Nintendo want to make sure that the IP stays kids friendly even if the card game is mainly played by adults.

The tournaments are likely adults, but the IP is definitely being sold to kids and I wouldn’t be surprised if childhood is when most players first start playing.

Pokemon has a vested interest in keeping the tournament scene kid friendly even if most of the players are adults.

He isn’t hurting the right people.

The issue here is what to do when you have multiple levels of government. One government entity may be against a policy, but a larger government entity which includes the smaller entity may be for a policy.

This case is regarding police funding, but this could apply to school or welfare programs as well.

And that was the end of the wave for invite started social media.

The problem is that it isn’t an intentional design decision. It just happens to be the easiest way to add a “cost” to sign-up.

Pissed.

Given that Ford mostly gave up on building cars, what else do they have?

That won’t happen with its environmental laws unless solar takes over completely.

They are trying a razor and razorblade model. Build out a system for free/cheap to get vendor lock-in and charge through the nose on maintenance while trying to keep out any competition.

Worse, there is likely value in getting access to that data and they likely built the system to make it hard to audit access on their end.
