Except everything else you wrote is irrelevant. Rates in different industries is meaningless, we're looking at this one. Is $4,000 substantially below what would be expected for the number of lines to be performed? That's the only question here, and not even touched on in the article. 

That insistence on no guns is rather bizarre. It worked in the specific story, strip them of the typical and expected weapons for a tight quarters contest, but that’s just weird to be so adamantly against the most logical weapon to use.

Nothing like a big gaming “f you” to your customers, now is there?

The story originally was the FBI and email recipients confirming in October 2020 that the emails discussing Joe Biden’s cut in exchange for favorable treatment while VP were authentic. When that was blocked on all social media as a conspiracy theory leading up to the election, well, that became the story. Lately…

Is this all still from her setting her Twitter pronouns to R2D2 sounds for Star Wars Day? 

The funniest part of this entire event is this headline, they "threaten everyone" lol 

I disagree with the apparent prevailing opinion: self check is faster, and less work. The stores I use have wireless scanner guns, so I organize my items as I place them in the cart and then scan them where they lie. I don’t have to unload them to the belt, and I don’t have to load them back into the cart. Less work,…

This is all so dumb. Clearly, the point of the tweet is how they're a perfect match for you in every way, but they won't play games with you, preferring to play alone instead of spending time with you. It isn't a dig at single-player games, it's a basic oof meme. 

If they were being “derp gay propaganda derp,” they wouldn’t have said “Elliot” Paige.

You’re forgetting that this is also an era where working on your own vehicle was normal, not an oddity. Honestly, it’s only a recent phenomenon where people are incapable of diagnosing and repairing their own property. Shoot, there are areas where people are horrified at the idea of refueling their own car, **the…

Ugh. They could have at least gone with a legitimate name instead of something that invites both ridicule and dismiss. Whoever suggested that name should have been fired. 

WE HAVE INVESTIGATED OURSELVES, AND FOUND OURSELVES TO BE CLEAR OF ANY WRONGDOING. 

Agreed. Declaring that she MUST be queer because she confirms to queer gender stereotypes, well, that’s just the same gender stereotyping that they claim to oppose, just from the other side. Not all tomboys must be queer, not all pretty princesses must be straight, and so on. Some princesses like rock climbing, target…

I think it’s a rather understandable reaction. You follow this character from the age of 12, watching her grow up, you perceive her as any adult would a child. The actress is a rather small individual, so it's easy to fall into the adult perspective of children never aging, so to suddenly see a 12 year old pull off…

Lol, whoops. Well done, bungie; well done. 

Aw. Sure, it's no Endgame, but it's not like it's a Dark World. In the lineup of current Marvel properties, it's about the 30th percentile, plenty of worse movies in the list. I really enjoyed it, looking forward to watching it again, pretty fun. 

This is such an example, yes. Typically when called out for such blatant emotional manipulations, the response is, “at least it started a conversation.”

Hmmm... As I remember it, the Main Strange we follow bumped a piano, heard the music, and began drawing notes and music out visually and flinging them at Dark Strange. Dark Strange then responded with full bars of music, not just single notes.

Thanks for this clarification. I came away from the article with a sense of a racebait moneygrab attempt, and a not terribly high opinion of you. This clarification corrects for that, and it appears to be a ragebait article instead. I'll be looking into you and your game, it sounds really interesting! 

Wait, I’m legitimately confused about how this works here. You say she is gay and trans. I’m assuming by the use of “she” that she is a male identifying as female so does gay mean attracted to males or attracted to females? I’m guessing male identifying as female who is attracted to females, in keeping with her…
