I think issues like these are (one of the reasons) why people push for diversity in workplaces. There are many times something very generally like this comes up - an unintended health hazard, very bad word choice or imagery, etc - and often the reason why is, well, no one who worked on it had any personal issues…

You don’t have to be set up as a business. General partnerships/sole proprietorships/etc exist. They’re not exactly smart - you should have an LLC or some other flow through tax entity. But they exist. And if you’re self-employed like that, you can still take business deductions (which mods would be in this case).

35% is low. For affiliates or most lower level partners, the breakdown is about 50-50.

I have never heard of an attorney charging 60% contingency. And I’m an attorney. The typical fee arrangement will be something like 25-33% if settled, 33-40% if go to court plus expenses afterwards. If contingency and expenses reach 60% of the total amount received, then they probably went to court and got an award…

Alternative Minimum Tax probably comes into play too, but your general point is right. A lot of this stuff will reduce the taxable gross income, not come off after taxes.

Oh and meant to include this. Since I mentioned the Epic Collections, check this site out. I don’t know how accurate it is still, but it has a breakdown of at least some of the many, MANY Epic Collections which exist.

Depends what you want. Since you like the MCU as your entry, I’d suggest either stories about the characters you most like or the stories that were the basis for the movies you most liked. Just know that some characters, like Tony Stark, are much different in the comics (I use Tony since he is much less of a jokester…

I think Russell’s character is Captain America for the time being, similar to in the comics how John Walker was introduced as a new Captain America (before later getting the US Agent moniker). Assuming he survives the show, I bet he’s US Agent by the end. This whole show seems like it will be an amalgam of the various…

1. I am about 95% certain the original Falcon suit was a military-prototype in Captain America: TWS. It definitely sounds like Tony upgraded it though.

Changing the bank account probably requires approval of the CPU’s board.

I think you have access to the Risan Box by then. So have fun trying to revive your party with an item that has a 50% chance to revive with 50% HP.

And just wait until the South Ocean part when you’re traveling to Ixa’Taka for the first time. Even higher encounter rate!

What basis could they take it down on? Copyright law doesn’t protect ideas. We have tons of games that rip off others. The Asylum based its whole business model off of straight to TV mockbuster movies. Even the Crazy Taxi arrow patent, which IIRC is what got Simpsons Hit and Run in trouble, has expired and is free…

It was a very worthy sequel.

IIRC, the bunny hop was introduced in Crazy Taxi 2.

Exactly. And decertification elections can be held as early as one year after the initial certification. It’s not like they’re locked in for a long time.

SAG AFTRA has been going after getting influencers under their fold the past few years. Even made the news just last week.

Yes, because when I think of “locations most mailable (sic) to their [union] propaganda,” I think of a warehouse in deep ruby red, right-to-work state Alabama.

Ogre Battle: Hammer to Fall would actually be a killer title.

Constantly going back to the same three areas. Fighting The Imprisoned at least three times, maybe five. Fi just hand holding you the entire way.
