Pick up a pen and learn to draw?

Still orders of magnitude less effort than actually learning to draw for yourself and making something actually creative

But please do go on about how your pink slime regurgitated by an LLM trained on stolen artwork scraped from hundreds of thousands of actual artists requires so much effort and creativity

Yeah but also why do people care that much about a one-off gag in a two-panel comic

It's like going "well ackshually if Superman tried to lift the plane like that he'd just rip off its nose" except even dumber

So many people need to remember the MST3K mantra: "it's just a TV show/movie/game/comic, I should really just relax"

You'd be surprised how many new charging stations have at least one chademo port. It's nowhere near as ubiquitous as NACS or CCS, but it's enough that I'm generally okay charging my leaf.

Sorry to inform you, but... Cock vore is the other way around, friend

OK but that's very, very fucking different from saying that furries are attracted to animals like you originally said, and that's what is really fucking offensive, especially considering that pretty much anyone who gets outed as an actual zoophile is swiftly exiled from the furry fandom

...yeah that sounds about right for sergals, tbh

Generally speaking, once you get past the "traditional" species like foxes, rabbits, cats, etc., and start getting more into the esoteric fantasy/scifi species like sergals, protogens, and yinglets, the people who create characters for those species tend to fall into one of two camps:

  • super srs "you must follow this lore to the letter or I will end you, by which I mean I will post a FurAffinity journal for my 7 followers complaining about your character diverging from the lore that nobody will pay attention to" types

  • "oh this looks cool I'm gonna make one and put my own twist on the design" types

Funny story, the person who originally designed protogens tried to be the first type, but pretty much everyone ignored him and just did their own thing anyway

Basically, companies are required to pay for unemployment insurance that funds the government's unemployment benefits system. If you lay someone off, the employee files for unemploent, and gets paid a portion of their weekly salary while they look for another job (the amount you get paid and whether there's any additional requirements varies from state to state, with Democrat-controlled states usually being more generous, but generally you have to show you're actively seeking a new job), and the employer pays a bigger unemployment insurance rate to compensate for the additional burden the former employee is now placing on the government benefits system.

However, if you're fired for cause--say, you get caught stealing from the cash register--then the employer can contest your unemployment. If the employer can show you were fired for a good reason, the employee can be denied unemployment benefits, and the employer doesn't have to pay extra unemployment insurance. This meeting is the company trying to cook up a justification for firing with cause, and the employee trying to get them to admit they're just being laid off, because if the company admits during the exit interview that she's just being laid off without cause, it's nearly impossible to contest her unemployment benefits claim later.

I'm going to go a little against the grain and recommend Fuga: Melodies of Steel and its sequel. It's not exactly what you described, but the game is very adept on forcing extremely difficult and impactful choices on you naturally through its gameplay.

More like they were a darling up until they were compromised by Russian intelligence and turned into the propaganda arm of the protofascist party in the US.
