Okay, since I apparently have to be explicit about this -
When I post answers in word games, I only post blatantly wrong answers. Anyone foolish enough to respond with correct answers gets blocked, as I operate under a no-spoilers policy.

People are always surprised to learn how little creators actually own in comics, games, etc. Big corporate brands are usually built on a work-for-hire model, meaning creators get paid once and then the *company* owns their ideas forever. This is why independent/creator-owned work is so important.

Like I thought we had all come to an understanding that rich dickheads used charity to launder their reputation, I don't understand why we keep having this conversation.

As awful as this, the focus on whether the woman was complying obscures the more important issue: in a democracy, there should not be armed agents demanding to see papers of every passing person.
“Traumatized, humiliated, degraded.”
The nurse, a US citizen, 4’11”, 85 lbs, says she was following orders when she was dragged out of her car by masked immigration agents in Florida.
It was the 3rd time she had been stopped and told to produce ID.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Look, it's not a bubble threatening to pop, it's an air pocket that will cause the structure to collapse when the air goes out. It's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, I swear.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
