Actually, he is employed by us. We give him money in exchange for his work. That’s the very definition of employment.

Yeah, but when he deliberately doesn’t finish something then tries to get us to buy something he wrote instead that we didn’t ask for, it’s a pretty prickish move.

I mean, he could at least stop promising us that it’s going to happen.

He is kinda employed by us, his readers, who buy his books. And people complain rightfully when promises are made and broken followed by endless delays for a delay-prone writer.

I hope your dad gets to see a whole lotta other stuff, too.

Well, he’s been promising to deliver this thing for the last several years. It gets frustrating for people who are waiting in anticipation for something that seems like it’s never going to come.

Cue a hundred people who will complain about how a writer who is not employed by them needs to get his work done more quickly.

How is it random? Eddie is a reporter, he reports on a sketchy science business, an employee there tracks him down confirming shady shit is going down, he goes in, gets infected, and the company tries to kill him while he wrestles for control over the symbiote’s bloodlust. This is as straightforward as it gets.

If only more books had been released in a timely manner that had made her presence inescapable for a television production. But whoever could have made such a thing happen?

Oh, this is weird as fuck.

This whole thing is weird, right? It’s not just me?

As someone who never cared about Star Wars (didn’t even see the original trilogy till I was 16 or 17, so I don’t have that childhood nostalgia factor), what I liked most about Rogue One was that it kind of...zoomed in on the scope of the series’ main conflict and showed you why the fight mattered to the random people…

Dude, I know. As I understand it the defense lawyer’s argument was that Crouch’s parents had essentially ruined him by always insulating him from the consequences of his actions ... and her reaction was to keep up the lack of consequences? If I was the judge I would’ve been like, “Good point. Guess it’s up to me and…

Well actually...

Hey you,

Hi Michael,

Most people are expected to act like professionals at work- you, me, Aunt Lucy- everyone.

If everyone whose who ever had a boss shout at them wrote about it online, the internet would self-destruct. Hell, restaurant kitchen staff alone would crash it.

I mean, if it’s someone failing to do their job then it depends what happened really. If, say, a prop crucial to a scene isn’t ready and they can’t shoot, then that one persons mistake just wasted everyone’s time and the studios money. That’ll get you yelled at.

This is a complaint for the HR department, not the internet.
