Except in most instances it's not the buyer who pays the commission it's the seller...

Apparently calling that out, however, was an unpopular decision.
Kinda fumbled on the title there didn't ya? lol
Not sure how it is in other countries, but I always assumed that a "life" sentence at least in the US just meant anything over 25 years
As I recall on Voyager with a little coaxing Tuvok was able to use the holodeck to get "relief" so I'd imagine the same goes for most vulcans who might be on long away missions
I always got the impression that Vulcan society operated similar to traditional Japanese or other societies where couples were "arranged" by families. Not sure about the one off cases though so maybe there is some kind of sex industry given the physiological toll if it's not addressed in time
I work for Amazon corporate. I can emphatically agree that right now, and for the past few post-COVID years, Amazon's only obsession is near term quarterly profits for stakeholders by any means necessary. To hell with long term investments. They are slowly sabotaging themselves internally with a lot of unpopular and frankly idiotic and nonsensical decisions that will ultimately result in cascading failure after failure. The enshittification continues.
I recently came dangerously close to having to use LinkedIn as my job was up in the air for awhile due to RTO shenanigans. I knew it was always a site for shilling but when I reactivated my account to update my resume, my God the amount of corporate back patting was insane. People I knew IRL as down to earth hardworking folks, were shilling so hard for a company that couldn't give two fucks less who they are and were using every buzz word from the white-collar, salaried company bootlicker playbook in every post.
Now, I know that's "the game" and if you want to get ahead you have to play, so I can't blame them for grinding, but at the same time, fuck that. I guess I'm fine being where I am and never moving up because I refuse to play that BS.
Even then it'll probably just be from one town to another very close by thus really only useable for a small subset of people. We need trans continental high speed railways not puddle jumpers
I also noticed that, especially with bananas, when I started washing them as soon as I got home I didn't get any gnats, because gnats will absolutely lay their eggs on the outside of fruits even at the store.
This. Only reason I use Brave is for my iPhone (which I am already planning to jump back to Android when it's time for a new phone) because I can listen to YouTube videos/music in the background and no ads when going through the browser (another reason I'm going back to Android is for Revanced). Everything else is FF
Is the last panel meant to represent people rushing in anger to hate on femboys or people rushing in horniness to see femboys? Because if the latter then I'd agree as I'd fall in that bucket.
Hawt
And this is why things like pirating are not only acceptable but necessary. When companies lock services behind paywalls for products we should legally own, we are left with no recourse but to obtain the services we are owed illegally.
While the authenticity of this is dubious, I don't think OP knows what a pyramid scheme is...
Look up MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) schemes if you need a reference point.
Came in here to mention Pascal's wager as well. Though the argument isn't so much to fool God as it is to basically slowly convert someone out of habit so it's more like "fool weak minded people with this one simple trick" lol
Yup. Pirating is about filling a need where companies sorely lack in providing services. When a company provides a shitty service or offers no viable alternative to obtaining something I would gladly pay for, pirating bridges that gap.
It's not so much that they're out of touch (though they are) as it is that they just don't give a fuck. Any way to return a profit or bump the stock price a few cents is all that matters.
