This reeks of selling games on a “pay per new game save” kind of move. If “replay” is a threat, how long until they move to eliminate that?

The book industry will be doing this with digital copies if they haven’t already.

Given the industry’s “you aren’t buying, you are renting” mentality… very, very optimistic.

With the right vote he could be doing that in a few years too.

Iowa State Fair, yes.

They had centuries to make pong, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up with context-free assumption.

This always reminds me of a comic I saw a long time ago. Two girls are gossiping and one talks about this guy that smiled at her (like packing her groceries or something) and she said he was creepy and stalking her. The next few frames show those same girls recognizing a guy sitting in a dark car watching them through the window and gush about how cute he is and it’s so sweet that he is so into one of them. I can never find the comic… but yeah, it’s all down to how the other party feels.

Pro wrestling fans of ECW support your cause.

Maybe instead of “Alive” you should go with “Currently able to form full sentences”. Because Biden is just as “alive” as Trump in regards to how you are trying to frame him. The same issues Biden has, Trump has - just Trump’s cult doesn’t care.

“AI pictures” are AI in name only. There is no actual artificial intelligence involved in any of this bullshit.

I would take 7 people to McDonalds.

instead of using his seemingly infinite wealth to engage in any real systemic change

Do we know this? I don’t follow the comics at all but do they ever go into the things Bruce Wayne does as CEO of Wayne Enterprises? I can’t fathom we have gone decades without someone touching on this.

I can recall numerous comedy movies I went to where I was the first to laugh. Like a full “ha” before everyone else started laughing. I am unsure if I influenced others to laugh, I was more satisfied that I didn’t need another person to laugh to actually enjoy what I was seeing.

It wasn’t “just” the audience. Sweetening enhances the laughing - it doesn’t replace it.

I always thought of it this way. You see fun videos of sitcom outtakes, everyone is having fun on set. This means multiple takes. How hard would you imagine it is for an audience member, on the 15th take, to laugh? Sweetening.

You are partially correct. The pacing is a thing, for sure.

But if you do watch those videos there are plenty of non-joke pauses for laughs. I can recall one where one of the guys walks up to the others sitting in the cafeteria and says “hey guys”… pause for laughs. He wasn’t dressed funny, he wasn’t doing anything odd, just… “time to laugh, I guess”.

IMO, canned laughs are the tool of those that aren’t really that good at writing comedy.

But what if I need to believe that others think my penis is bigger than it is? Is there any other way?

Someone is making a new one. I have it wishlisted on Steam. It is called Cleared Hot. Granted, I heard about it a LONG time ago and it still isn’t out.

Likely his answer: Nope, not seriously. What’s your number?

Maybe go with a Ford muscle car with the Ford blue. Can’t help on the asymmetrical flag, though.

To add, the bad guy is a rich guy trying to exploit people for profit or to get revenge for those that have wronged him.
