and not emptied out to be properly sanitized.

And there in the complication. Any of these character’s “your story” is spread across the whole. Significant portions of their archs, and with some characters most of them, happen in films that don’t have their name and a number in the title.

More than one comment up there about contracts and people having to be paid for more than 3.

These people signed multi-year contracts with commitments and options for up to 10 appearances. We’re looking at 27 and counting movie serial where individual actor’s prominence has more to do with their position in the whole…

I’m gonna go with “headlining” in the conventional sense being a bonkers concept here too.

Black Widow featured nearly as prominently as Cap in Winter Soldier, and was a hugely prominent bit of Iron Man 2. Ragnarok is basically an ensemble piece, with Ruffalo in the number 2 slot. Tony Stark is as much the focus of…

And it is unpossible that Naruto might closely map to something earlier.

Cause that exact shot borders on cliche. And not one originating in Anime. 

Tom Holland is on deck for multiple additional Spider-Mans.

Naruto was hardly the first thing to do that. It’s an old trick.

If you had any minimal awareness of how the job works you wouldn’t be boiling it down to pouring into cups and being social while dealing with drunk tourists.

You’re kinda splitting hairs there.

The locked contract concept is exactly what I’m saying is illegal. It’s explicitly illegal with alcohol, and it’s an anti-competitive practice with food and other items. Contracting like that isn’t common outside of service situations like who provides your laundry.

They’re also based on some truly shitty marketing, both a trashy edgelord social media approach that put people on watch and stepped into some transphobic shit more than once. And the kind of clueless, context free way they dumped that particular ad out without any context. Among some other warning signs like the…

I would like you do a bar shift and then tell me that. Even at it’s simplest the job is not dump alcohol in a glass in a specific order.

Now what do you do for a living so I can tell you it isn’t worth the money and not hard?

It’s just covering the cost of doing business in general. Liability insurance is expensive, liquor licenses are pricey in some areas but not for the most part these days.

But staffing and rent are the 2 major expenses in a restaurant. Overhead is fairly insane in the business. It’s a 200% markup that’s standard, 3x…

That 2.99 asparagus at the supermarket is also likely not “in season” asparagus from anywhere local. 90% chance it’s from Peru or Mexico.

Asparagus also isn’t quite in season due to a cold spring. From a big asparagus growing area. Shit just started to sprout. 

All of these “reasons” boil down to price. It’s grandma level commentary, complete with advocating for labor abusing, heat it up or fry it chains.

That sounds nice, but just the parade of pros and e-sports people who get themselves in shit over open misogyny, racism, and often in person harassments would say otherwise.

More over it’s the officially licensed, D&D branded, Hasbro approved, version of this shit.

There’s not a lot of consolidating involved in Hasbro buying out something that’s already all but a contract product.

Ain’t nobody outraged, although it’s a term meant to signal outrage.

I’d prefer to refer to it as activism.

People don’t generally get sued for not “virtue signaling”. A term which is mostly a right wing shibboleth.

You seem to be mostly thinking of those “we have to charge this extra money cause OBAMA” log lines that popped up in response to the Affordable Care Act.

The vast, vast, vast majority of service charges you see…
