Soda bottles in the us shows both ounces and milititers.
Large bottles are sold as “2 liter soda”…that’s it.
Smaller bottles are in ounces (with the metric label just a requirement I guess - no one I know here talks about buying a 500ml soda)
Everything else is ounces or gallons, I’m sure someone will ‘umm actually’ me…but generally nothing else is metric; like milk and juice.
I saw that immediately, that’s so illegal. You should record it and report it to the appropriate 3-letter agency (no idea which one). Doubt you’ll get the money back, but making the assholes that run that machine deal with the government would be worth it to me.
Some sites have a character limit they don’t tell you about. They accept the password when you make it, but they also chopped off the last 10 characters.
I don’t think it’s morally correct to remove their names. People have the right to know who the artist is.
There’s the old question, can you separate the art from the artist? Everyone is going to have a different opinion, and for those that say no; sharing a comic without saying who it’s from doesn’t allow them to decide “that’s a Scott Adams comic, fuck that guy”.
Why stop there? Take everything away.
I know people have been trying to reason with you no avail.
Here’s my argument, stripping away the artist’s credit make you no better than AI. Take away the human behind the art and it might as well be ai slop.
Yes there should probably be a standard way posters attribute artists. So set the example you want to see. I agree, it is a lot nicer to read comics without the soid white borders filled with names, facebook logos and other crap.
If you want to crop panels to just be the comic, fine - but please at least put the artist name in the post description (which you do for some, so thank you for those) or better yet, just include both versions. You could put the original version under a spoiler so people aren’t forcibly advertised to, but if they want to find the artist they easily can, with out having to do a reverse image search.
I enjoy many of the comics you share and appreciate your active contribution to the community, but please recgonize by refusing to compromise on this you are becoming a negative presence here and only getting your self put on people’s individual ban-lists. All we ask is that you consistently attribute the artists in some fashion.
Wow, what a loony. Must have gotten on the wrong end of his high horse.
Thanks. That’s quite the extreme take, I get not wanting a crappy watermark across the whole comic. But a subtle signature, or small panel with their name should be fine.
If they erase social links, that’s still crappy but more understandable.
If they really believe the image it self shouldn’t have a credit, then they should put the credit in the post description. They could use a spoiler, so it’s up the individual if they want to be “advertised” to.

That second one is on HR - should have changed their name in the system.
So the DOA? :D
I’d be more surprised if the government didn’t fine they guy reporting or require a lawyer to go through layers of bureaucratic nonsense designed to make it so hard to do anything the average person won’t bother.
