According to Brubaker, he earned more from residuals from his cameo appearance (that was cut) in the film than he was paid for the cinematic use of a character he created.

Yeah, I guess I don’t have a problem with Winter Soldier not being in the movie more or the legal definition of a cameo, but the cynic in me believes the lawyers are driving creative decisions to exploit a contractual loophole and save a buck. It’s just as likely that it’s a coincidence, but who knows what’s going on…

And fed.

I lived in Japan for 3 years, and my wife had a baby in Tokyo, so I’m reasonably familiar with the health insurance there.

This followup question is so American it hurts me.

If they live in Japan, they have universal healthcare. Questions like “do you pay for your healthcare or does your employer” only really make sense in the US.

This adult is finding it far from “aggressively mediocre.” Aside from maybe WandaVision, this show by far exceeds any of the other MCU shows in showing realistic human emotion an interaction that comes across as genuine. 

The somehow even more fucked up part about all of this... anti-abortion assholes are saying “You didn’t read the whole story, she was able to go to Indiana”. Like somehow having to cross state lines to get something she could have got locally last week is NBD and that things are still normal.

Like many words in the english language, it has 2 meanings:

If not for sensitivity, then for character variation. Why not use all options, including darker skintones when designing characters, when designing a character? It’s right there and available? It’s so weird to opt to have all/most characters have lighter skin colors.


... also hoping for more body types at some point

It’s an accepted risk purely on the studio. The actor had to do all the same amount of work, and they are union, no fucking around with getting paid.

First, I’d definitely want to combat the idea that this is an education issue.

I know a lot of folks who work in QV who do have a college education (and sometimes even degrees in game dev).

Second, I mean I agree that people should do the best they can to take care of themselves but I think a lot of people are…

EA, like many other companies in the industry, also relies heavily upon contract labor for QV positions so likely that isn’t even figuring into things?

And yeah, QV pay is shockingly low. And not in a “well, they’re hiring in areas with a lower cost of living” way. QV pay is shockingly, horrifyingly low across the…

Working class is fucked right now.

“An MIT study estimated a “living wage” for the Austin, Texas area to be $17.46 for someone living alone,”

Chrissy Beppo warns the people of Smallville “not only is the merging of plants real, it is happening” in the synopsis for “Waiting for Superman,” the season two finale of Superman & Lois.

You’re absolutely right. Viewing one person as a person immediately diminishes all other injustices in the world. Truly, justice and goodness are part of a zero sum game.

Please.

It remains legal in California to practice law after “reading law” - completing an apprenticeship under a practicing lawyer for a certain time under certain conditions. That’s what she is currently doing.

You should be alarmed at having such an emotional reaction to a tv personality
