That looks entirely inedible.

Fuck that deceptive headline trying to make it look like voice actors are against the strike. Sport Illustrated is a trash organization, though, so what else should I have expected?

My bank seems to have stopped charging overdraft fees altogether a couple years ago and they haven't done it since. Might be more related to all those class action checks I've gotten in the mail than as a "courtesy to their customers" though. Who can say?

Its nearly impossible to replicate what YouTube it is today.

Why would we want to? People want to replace Youtube because Youtube sucks ass. Replacing it with another monetized platform will only ever lead to the same place Youtube is at now.

It sucks that people who managed to make a living from their hobby have gotten fucked over, but until we have some major regulatory and economic overhauls, that's just how it works. Changing platforms is not a solution to that.

Violence against fascists just sounds like plain old self-defense to me.

Not a republican, but I staunchly support anything that potentially ends with christian nationalists putting each other in the hospital. Let them fight.

Squirrel is actually pretty good. Some of those others though...

Machines don't demand time off or benefits, and they sure as shit don't try to unionize.

They only wish they could hit me with a wrench when I get tired!

Plenty of employers do. They're called farmers and contractors. Just go ask literally any undocumented worker.

We are absolutely not machines to them. In a capitalist society, human life has no meaningful value beyond the profit it creates for other, wealthier people. Machines are generally far more cost effective than humans, and are therefore inherently more valuable.

Interesting that they're so convinced that the animal is the problem.
