I was 13 when RotJ came out. I loved the space battles and other bits and bobs but was put off by how it felt like Lucas was redoing ANH. Pretty much the same critique people throw at Disney’s sequel trilogy.

“The movie came out when I was 9" is all you had to say. The rest is irrelevant because you were at the age most likely to view it favorably, whether it turned you into a lifelong fan or not. ;)

You made me realize that Trump is that woman fingering The Deep’s gills while she gets off in The Boys.

Ding!

Bullshit. Every studio head says it to their crunching staff. “This is hard now, but it’ll be worth it when executives take home their sweet bonuses for shipping before the Q3 earnings call and you’ll feel the warm glow of knowing you worked on a multi-million dollar franchise and were actually paid less than minimum…

In practice, it has contributed to the belief that you can’t be an artist if you are fairly compensated for it. I’ve lost track of people who’ve reached out to me for commissions but balk as paying even a living wage for the work.

You were right the first time. I like to trot out this simple example:

That’s not true at all. When I’m not forced into an arbitrary marketing deadline, I can get away with a smaller team for a longer burn, prove out the design without the overhead of a huge team, and the games are better for it. Destiny didn’t have 700 people working on it from day one.

That’s why contracting exists, don’t spin this into a labor dispute.

I am absolutely confident that Biden would not give this response, but rather Centrist hands-accross-the-aisle platitudes on how he’d only nuke Iran after his corporate masters told him to. Fuck Biden.

And with that morally questionable stance, we’re done here. You are wrong. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/end-justifies-the-means—the

Jussie committed a crime for the “greater good.” You have terminal cognitive dissonance.

And here’s where I disagree. The outrage is entirely justified - Hitler Youth 2.0 looking for fights to pick with minorities, during their field trip to roll back women’s rights. History will remember MAGA hat for what it is, the latest fashion trend for racists.

The original narrative became more complex after the complete video was released. It does not exonerate the MAGA kids, but if you were arguing in good faith you’d admit that.

Jimmy Kimmel used to do that regularly:

More specifically, drugs primarily come through ports of entry, so that talking point was always nonsense.

But if you believe “bringing meat to your plate” IS murder as vegans do, the specific method is irrelevant. I don’t give a shit if shooting a cow with a gun is “widely used alternative” it’s still murder and it’s not humane.
