Well of course that piece of shit wants to give them a platform.

Ever heard of Poe's Law?

It isn't a story that the Jedi would tell you.

Within hours of a U.S. Supreme Court decision dismantling a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, Texas lawmakers announced plans to implement a strict voter ID law that had been blocked by a federal court. Lawmakers in Alabama said they would press forward with a similar law that had been on hold.

Voter ID laws for voting are discriminatory in practice in the US, especially in southern states for a mulitide of reasons including barriers to getting the IDs, easily losing them due to discriminatory law enforcement, and many minorities not getting them for other reasons.

Yes, because it would open up into the wall.

I would also notice it even if it didn't because I am a creature of habit and changes like that are obvious.

Within a year of the decision Texas implemented discrimatory voting laws, proving that the federal oversight really was necessary.

$25 an hour is what minimum wage should be, and they need a college degree to make that. The example 2020 farmer doesn't even own the corporate farm, they are just employed labor.

There a lot of non AI implementations that would be more reliably logical, like presenting options in multiple groups instead of only having a single location buried in submenus.

Like mouse color and size could be in an appearence AND in a general mouse settings that includes mouse appearance and behavior. They could design it so the setting itself is self contained, so it can behave the same way no matter how it is grouped for presentation.

I would expect AI to make up illogical groupings, because it doesn't understand context.

It is like Overwatch and Leaguen of Legends/Heroes of the Storm had a baby.

It is a FPS MOBA.

I love how in settings all the different miuse options are spread out in different places!

Want to change mouse speed, cursor size, and color? We are going on an adventure!

While that is a great summary of reaching a profit, breaking even or a small amount of profit is rarely considered a success especially if that is the criteria for sequels/continuations/similar products.

So a one off single comic that has zero expectations might be a success if it makes a small profit, but as a test to see if it should become a series a significant amount of profit would be needed.
