I’d visit this sushi chain

I will savor its germ

Im here for the corny jokes and COBbled together memes

Had a nokia 3310, had a flip phone, did not like T9. The predictive nature was aweful and never got me to like it before I got a slide keyboard phone.

Gonna catch a lot of “get with the times” but an ad blocker and watching YouTube in browser on my phone - I’ve never seen the value of needing Premium to do adblocking or a whole ass app like Vanced. Maybe sponsorblock for more but like overall, my impression has always been YouTube Premium is a joke of a service that can never offer anything more than adblocking/sponsor block already just does from a browser on my phone.

Generally I’ve heard* she shuts down a lot of dissent and criticisms of her work (even legitimate “I don’t like this” type passive comments) on r/comics because so much of the sub is her content and she gets disproportionate vote because of it (and like 3 other people like HowlingElk).

A fairly legitimate complaint I’ve seen is the aforementioned meta fact that half the sub is her content and not much more so they have to constantly see her stuff even if they otherwise don’t mind the messaging.

Yeah they are just so evil bad and aweful, too bad I don’t know their names so I could actively avoid them. If only some good Samaritan would help me find my way to avoiding those.

Thats with nuance though, this map clearly states it is without.

Gritted teeth optimism

Jokes are funny, I am not.

“Feed the troops”

“If youre gonna go on a long march, give them shoes”

“If the terrain is shitty for you and not the opponent, your soldiers are not gods chosen like you are and will lose”

“If the terrain is shitty for the opponent, but not you, they are not gods chosen like their general, and you should attack”

“Maybe making nobility your military leadership isn’t always a smart idea - give them advisors and then tell them to listen to the advisors.”

Truly revolutionary literature

Legit top tier condiment that has supplanted mayonnaise and like half of the us doesnt even know it.

Beep boop

How do you do, fello bot

Something pointed out via a friend is that, while we like to shit on corpos for these layoffs, sometimes in the art/story field they (the employees) really are not needed or not desired anymore. Some places eant to hire a new storyboard person/team, or art directors to make changes to the existing items . The first guy made his impact, now the company wants changes that, as an artist, they just don’t see from their artstyle (of any medium like story, characters, environment etc) perspective. Think the botched Ecce Homo fresco as it was originally painted, and then the restoration - the original artist could not concieve of what it became and therefore is legitimately no longer needed. Paying him his dues and letting him go is the nature of it, if done honestly.

That doesn’t excuse hoarding wealth and trying to get out of paying severance, retirements, royalties for their work, and insurances, but while we often praise that one time Nintendos kept people on at the expense of the CEO, the question is “for what though” if it was a legitimate direction pivot.

But in general fuck epic because thats not what this is. This is almost always"line must go up" behavior. Just wanted to mention it so I can say “ah, there it is” when fortnite skin quality/story direction/landscape changes invariably catches up with and shows the result of these missing staff in a season or 2, as a direct result of these people’s layoffs.

Me too unfortunately…

…where we dropping.

Yeah its been awhile since I’ve seen American Dad.
