@TonyMichaelX The people with art degrees keep trying to convince me that the door on the right is powerful because the designer's boyfriend died of AIDS.

Those people didn’t have art degrees.

Stop treating art degrees like theyre useless then.

@reinoe The VA system is wild. Some green haired weirdo is getting free stuff, meanwhile some soldier who got a shattered knee from dodging an RPG can't get the VA to define the injury as "service related".
English
There is definitely fraud in the VA system.
But compared to all the other fraud, I kinda don't think it should be a priority.
This type of fraud benefits American citizens who served in our military.
Compared to all the other fraud I don't want this tackled first.

I am begging someone, anyone to clean up the disability fraud in the VA. This guy was a Navy reservist who went to school for the Government and got out after 2 years with disability benefits for anxiety and depression. This has to end.

@c_vinchenzo Those aren't pumps. The new New Balances just look like that. It's ugly. Looks like you're standing on a boat. But doesn't add height.

@Oilfield_Rando Also: Zero mention of condoms.
They've given up on trying to get the gays to wear them.

HIV medicine commercials always be like:

2. flaming gay interracial male couple, cuddling
3. normal looking black heterosexual woman, who is single

@corysimmons123 @UptownDonkey02 @retardmode We've tried doing that for nearly a century. It isn't working. We have to bring back public execution. The great prison experiment has failed. Time for the gallows.
English
@_GlassMachine_ @UptownDonkey02 @retardmode Fine. I still think life for life. Just send the homies to prison for life.
English
@corysimmons123 @UptownDonkey02 @retardmode I don't care that one is worse than the other. The lesser of the crimes fits my standard for a capital crime. If someone kills five people or kills 50, one of those is worse than the other, but they both deserved to be punished by execution.
English
@_GlassMachine_ @UptownDonkey02 @retardmode I really don't know how to explain to retarded people that there is a difference between threatening someone with death and actually killing someone. Or that one is more badder than the other.
English
@corysimmons123 @UptownDonkey02 @retardmode Threatening someone with death unless they surrender property should be a capital offense. This isn't petty theft. This isn't running a stop sign. This is a violent traumatizing crime which deserves a hanging.
English
@UptownDonkey02 @retardmode Then why wouldn't every aggro robbery turn into murders overnight? There needs to be different punishments for different crimes, otherwise there's no reason for them to spare witnesses.

@baturner_vc The fact that they feel the need to circle the wagons like this means you've struck a nerve. Keep pushing.

The original post is less about whether or not I think the price point is unreasonable (that's up to the individual), and more so using the price point to show that crowdfunded comics aren't overpriced in many cases because of the very reasons/justification you provided for your price. And most crowdfunding creators do have thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars to recoup, hence the need to price accordingly so that one can continue to create.
I'm defending an indie creator's need to price themselves in a manner that allows them to continue so that they don't have to quit and they can keep providing folks with stories
Many don't understand the costs that go into indie comics, and some creators feel that just because they are willing to take a loss, that others should to

I recognize I'm unlikely to change the mind of someone committed to a contrary position, and that's not my goal here. This is for the aspiring creators who may come across this discussion and deserve accurate context. At Rippaverse, we price based on three primary factors: the goal we're trying to accomplish with a given product, our margins after accounting for manufacturing and production costs, and what the broader market bears for comparable items. Carrow Brown's Dirty Deeds: Jailbreak could land up to 400 pages, with 350 as a floor. After a simple Barnes & Noble search, here are a few comparable hardcover novels currently on shelves or available for pre-order: Lake Effect — 288 pages for $30 A Heart of Crimson Flames — 320 pages for $30 Pluto — 288 pages for $32.99 You'll find prices both above and below what we've set for Dirty Deeds: Jailbreak — in many cases for fewer pages. We are not a crowdfunder needing to recoup fees. We are a for-profit business that maintains favorable rates for our creators. My advice to anyone watching this: do your own research, and more importantly, set your own goals when it comes to pricing your work. Understanding what the market has dictated is valuable, but that information only matters when it's placed in the proper context.

@CollinRugg This is a good start. But this guy deserves to be hanged. We shouldn't rest until that is the standard.

NEW: Family of a Texas teen loses it as judge sentences him to 25 years in prison for robbing a convenience store.
Judge Raquel West was seen torching 18-year-old Caden James Fontenette before handing out the sentence.
"There was a time some years ago that there really wasn't even a question... State's attorneys were recommending youthful offenders probation. Let's give everybody an opportunity..." West said.
"You don't have a good likelihood of being successful if I were to put you on probation... I'm going to sentence you to a term of 25 years."
Fontenette pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery for a 2025 incident where he and two others robbed a convenience store at gunpoint.
The suspects were caught on camera assaulting the store clerk.
Fontenette will likely be in his 40s when he is released from prison.

@JonMalin Anna hates callig herself White because she's spent a lifetime amongst Commiefornians. She needs to embrace her White heritage.

It's wild to me the level of entitlement the world feels toward the American taxpayer
The US gives medical aid to Zambia, but because they want something in return finally, it makes them the "bad guy"?
Alan MacLeod@AlanRMacLeod
The US - and I cannot stress this enough - is the bad guy in virtually every situation. No empire in world history has ever held this much power.

THIS is what we thought MAGA was going to end. We believed Trump would end it because he told us he would.
This is Trump’s new MAGA and I want nothing to do with it.
Pray for our troops🙏because Trump is sacrificing them for Israel.

@MakeArtGA Eric July built his influence off the back of Glen Beck. Conservative Inc. is so desperate for "based black man" that they promoted this idiot. Now he rejects anything right wing and pretends to not be associated.
English
He built an audience as an anti-SJW commentator.
SJWs complained.
Others backed his venture with millions. Then he dropped the principles he'd convinced his audience Rippaverse stood for to be more palatable to industry leftists, losing most of his support.
Now he complains.

@WartTheWizard You can taste the square? I have several questions about your mouth.

I personally never ate Wendy's hamburgers (because you can taste the square) but their spicy chicken sandwich is pretty tuff though.
Jimmy Palmiotti@jpalmiotti
What happened to Wendy’s? Went recently after not going for years and the burger was garbage. The fries not much better. No taste at all and small. It was Burger King level trash. The level of food quality is garbage now. I’m amazed these places still exist.

@RobProvince Winsome was a shit tier candidate.

@JoeMSonntag1 There's no reason for Spider-Man to have his mask off in the beginning of this trailer. A big problem with the Marvel movies is every actor wants their face on screen more and more.

I like the throw back montage of classic Spiderman Villians in this.
