You were, in the post I was replying to. Hey, real quick: Can you tell me how many times the letter R appears in the word “strawberry”?
@singletoned.bsky.social I was actually thinking of open source software developers and amateur artists/writers. But l'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of "creatives" are in work-for-hire arrangements as well. A tiny, tiny percentage of artists are making a living from selling it with royalties Nov 26, 2025 at 11:33 AM

No, you’re obviously a 15 year old trans girl. Or do you just play one online?

It doesn’t get much sloppier than the classic Maine baked bean supper, complete with red snappers and bread that came out of a can.

A New Yorker style cartoon with four men, three are dressed as stereotypical bank robbers and one is telling the other two “You both take the exits, I’ll take the entrance, and Gary… well… he’s our fall guy.” He’s gesturing towards Gary, who’s wearing a turtleneck sweater and red wooly hat with earflaps, and carrying a pumpkin, basket of apples, and cup of (presumably pumpkin spice) coffee.

This 1970s National Dairy Council ad campaign inspired the hit Shania Twain single “Man! I Feel Like a Cheesewedge!”
A vintage National Dairy Council advertisement from the 1970s featuring a man holding a sandwich with the text “Man! Good food is food with plenty of protein. Like Cheese. Cheese is manfood. Ask any woman.” The slogan “Cheese is manfood” is repeated as a sort of logo, and beside the text there’s an inset picture featuring a large wedge of cheese next to a mug of beer.

Nowhere did you say anything about downtown Columbus, you said Columbus has 15,000 residents and 90,000 commuters.
Lu@22carrion.bsky.social • 20h Ok. Let's pick Columbus: about 15K residents, about 90K commuters. 2.5% income tax that pays for police, fire, trash, snow removal, etc. Suppose 50K workers at $80k average stop coming downtown. That's $100M/year tax lost. City collapses. ①

Their maple bacon is different though, it’s a standard old fashioned with a maple glaze and bacon bits instead of the Voodoo Doughnut-style frosted bar topped with two brittle, dried out bacon strips.

Leatherface from the original 1974 Texas Chainsaw Massacre, of course. Poor guy was just minding his business when all these damn teenagers start wandering into his house, what else was he supposed to do?

I found a great corduroy sport coat at Goodwill last month, it’s got the faux suede patches on the elbows and everything. Weighs about 11 lbs.
