If a tiny 2 foot long cookie cutter shark can take chunks out of people, then any shark bigger than that with sharp teeth is equally if not more dangerous.

Because most of the time, the reveal immediately results in a magical resolution of decades of behavioral issues stemming from the trauma.

Which never happens in real life. A reveal is a huge step in the healing process but it doesn't mean the issue goes away. Maybe we cope better, maybe we regress maybe we relapse. But its seldom the clean outcome in the movies.

How does automation solve the shortage of healthcare workers or trades people?

This is the longest piece of horseshit I've seen all week.

There is absolutely such a thing as too small a workforce. Higher prices for labor eventually means higher prices for goods. Until it all breaks down because you don't have enough working people for a functional society.

Who takes care of the elderly or works essential jobs like healthcare? There are maximum ratios for emergency care nurses to patients. Even if you tripled their pay its not going to budge that ratio one bit.

Its a funny episode. But its a false dichotomy.

Robots with sapience are granted rights and don't make refrigerators or vacuum cleaners capable of abstract thinking and feelings. I'm looking at you Samsung. Washing machines and microwave ovens do no need to be "smart"

Well, you're not going to believe this but there are temporary marriage contracts available that can be as short as an hour.

Why do people need an hour long marriage? Beats me...

Is that a new song from PSY?

It's natural that we gravitate towards familiarity.

Case in point, how some actors always seem to play the same character, no matter which movie they're in.

Go search up fighters like rampage Jackson or Kevin Randleman who regularly out muscled the very best grapplers, doing things like powerbombing their way out of submissions, then think how much smaller they are than a gorilla. Grappler is just as dead as a Boxer, Muay Thai fighter, or Karateka.

Not my OC. Just wanted to bring attention to a little underated comic strip. Great artwork. Different tone and topic to what's commonly posted here. Enjoy.
