HT deserves what shit they get for theft. That’s maybe 1% of the actual shit heaped their way. The existence of legitimate problems with Hot Topic doesn’t legitimize all of the knee-jerk hate when most of it has nothing to do with issues like the one you’re citing.

Sure, there’s legit complaints about the claustrophobic layouts, but that’s hardly unique to HT.

Because too many people are still stuck in the fucking 00’s when it was popular to mock Hot Topic for carrying stuff designed to appeal to emo/scene kids along with all the faux-clever ironic t-shirts. Hot Topic isn’t my thing and hasn’t been for a long while, but the further from my late-teens I get the more…

Nonsense. Everyone knows Evghenia is first on Mars.

Handles much of the business side of the site, including legal, payroll, and advertising/funding issues. Specifics depend on the particular needs of the site and the size of the company.

Using Shania Twain to argue against increasing the minimum wage?

Yes, race is a social construct. So is pretty much everything else that we use to describe how things fit into the world.

Considering (SPOILER) that Ep. 2 ends with her dad being murdered by one of the Advisors, it sets up a perfect pretext. It’d be easy enough to have the G-Man suddenly pop in in his usual manner, assert that Gordon is needed elsewhere, and leave Alyx with some cryptic statement that starts her on trying to find…

Aww, do female protagonists wrinkle your micropenis?

To be fair, beige is a pretty crunchy color.

Carly Fiorina has almost completed her transformation into Evil Celine Dion.

Considering how every threat by self-described GGers has been labeled a “false flag” meant to embarrass GG...where’s the evidence this wasn’t GG trying to make it look like they’re getting threats?

“Some are refusing to play the game altogether.”

“Pulled pork looking nonsense” had me laughing so hard I almost blacked out from being unable to stop and breathe.
