With every “Save Image As” → “Share”, the picture quality tends to degrade. Sooner or later the signature become illegible or simply cropped out.
Moreover, few people click a link to the source to check out the artist. But, even fewer read the signature, search for the name, and start browsing from there. - Comment on I respect the environment. 6 days ago:
Respect the artists, add the source. Goddamn it’s not that difficult: Tommy Siegel @ https://imginn.com/p/DSnDl53Dvhd/.

Seems like it’s a yearly subscription membership only thing. If I can’t buy it and own it I pirate it.

Any Gameboy game with an emulator.
Nintendo doesn’t care about making their old games, nay, works of art like Golden Sun still playable, so I consider them free to play at this point.

“Advertisement: a public notice
especially : a paid notice that is published or broadcast (as to attract customers or to provide information of public interest)” ―https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/advertisementDo you think Clay Butler pays to have his cartoons published?
“What a way to kill the fun.”
But, where does killing the fun start exactly? Isn’t it you who first expressed the contrarian opinion? Surely you must expect people to refute your claims, or at the very least some pushback.

Why do you consider this an advert? Because it mentions Sidewalk Bubblegum, which is “Clay Butler’s self-syndicated weekly political cartoon”? I hardly think that by drawing cartoons such as God Bless America, Or Else! he belongs to the racket of greedy profiteers who manipulate people into buying stuff they don’t need.

And do not, under any circumstances, take a job that involves night shifts. This shit should be illegal.
While true for most professions this obviously doesn’t apply to firefighters, emergency medical technician (EMTs), nurses, trauma surgeons, police, weather forecasting, et cetera. Basically all professions where human lives are on the line require night shifts. The crucial part is that people who want to do night shifts should only need to do night shifts as to have a healthy sleeping pattern. Anything preventing people from having a decent sleeping cycle against their will should be illegal.
