    “His name is already on the image where he signed it.”

    1. With every “Save Image As” → “Share” cycle the picture quality tends to degrade. Sooner or later the signature becomes illegible or simply cropped out. Just look at the image quality difference now, after only being one day old!
    2. Moreover, few people click a link to the source to check out the artist. But, even fewer read the signature, search for the name, and start browsing from there. Let alone the hassle of reverse image searching.

    “‘F the Police’ but who’s stopping you from killing me?” ―Harder Than You Think - Public Enemy

    I do believe about 20% of police officers have good intentions and significantly more signed up with that attitude, not knowing that they protect the wealthy elite and crooked politicians more than they uphold democratic values and ethical standards in society.

    Unfortunately, probably more of them consider such a career because of the authority it gives them. Therefore I prefer to say that “many cops are bastards”; granted, it doesn’t have an equally nice ring to it.

    “Advertisement: a public notice
    especially : a paid notice that is published or broadcast (as to attract customers or to provide information of public interest)” ―https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/advertisement

    Do you think Clay Butler pays to have his cartoons published?

    “What a way to kill the fun.”

    But, where does killing the fun start exactly? Isn’t it you who first expressed the contrarian opinion? Surely you must expect people to refute your claims, or at the very least some pushback.

    “And do not, under any circumstances, take a job that involves night shifts. This shit should be illegal.”

    While true for most professions this obviously doesn’t apply to firefighters, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), emergency dispatchers, air traffic controllers, nurses, trauma surgeons, police, weather forecasters, et cetera. Basically all professions where human lives are at stake require night shifts. The crucial part is that people who want to do night shifts should only need to do night shifts as to have a healthy sleeping pattern. Anything preventing people from having a decent sleeping cycle against their will should be illegal.
