It seems like there should be a better way to "Support the artist and get bragging rights for having done so!" that doesn't involve the scammy other part. You see this with Patreon all the time where certain tiers get a shout

What happens when someone actually starts going after IP rights on these things? I suspect that's when the "popping" starts. 3D-ified pokemon card, no way the creator licensed the trademarked character or the copyrighted text

In my state I had to provide a log of my attempts to get employed, so Unemployment Benefits never disincentivized me in the first place. After my benefit ran out, more opportunities didn't magically appear. I was still just as incentiv

Ah, so there's a man on an island bobbing fake ships on his massive attenae. It's like the myth of the Sirens but instead of ladies saying, "come heeeeere" it's a dude saying, "look a shiiiip".

Floating point is a real trip. They should probably spend more time going over its intricacies in programming courses, because its not going anywhere. E.g. you should hardly ever test floating point numbers for equality. Instead you usually
