If a job isn't worth paying someone fairly for their time and work, then why should it exist?

I’ve been in management of metadata and media for over a decade. I’ve seen a lot of false starts into automating data collection and ingestion. Management always gets cold feet when they realize the amount of supports staff and continuous maintenance that would be required.

Because society runs just fine on pasty rich old men just throwing their money around. Citation not needed at all... or you want a citation how about all of history.

You mean like picking the food that ends up your dinner table for minimum wage? You realize that the reason it’s done by migrant workers because Americans think they’re too good for such hard work, right?

When basis living necessities, like housing and food, are ridiculously expensive and require higher wages to obtain, then yes, all jobs are worth high wages.

If you’ve ever eaten food, worn clothes, ordered something online, used any consumer product, driven on a road, depended on a military to defend your nation’s sovereignty, played a video game, been inside a building that didn’t collapse, watched a movie or TV show, you have benefited from “grunt work.” No society I…

Could be worse... but those folks deserve more than $15/hr.

Outsourcing to Kenya and paying them $2 per hour is disgraceful. But what is equally disgraceful is that the minimum wage in Kansas is $7.25!

As someone who likes a lot JRPGs and other weird stuff, I know the Playstation/Nintendo is probably going to get what I like first, and Xbox may not get it at all. Their inability to make inroads in Japan has really kind of hobbled their offerings. 

A modern GPU costs more than a console, so it doesn’t really matter to a console consumer if 2018's God of War is on PC - especially when the ports they’ve put out have had performance issues. They also haven’t brought over any more recent Playstation exclusives yet to PC. It’ll likely be a few more years at least…

We just saw the exact same thing happen with Quantumania. I kind of avoided it because I was feeling a bit burnt out and needed a break, and the reviews weren’t great...but I must have watched an entirely different move than everyone else because I loved every second of it.

I think a bit of that is because I’ve been…

At the end of the day, Doctor Strange’s fatal flaws—he has to humble himself despite nearly-unlimited access to power, and has to give agency to other people and trust that they can be the ones to save the day—continue through Multiverse.

That’s been the Marvel storytelling way since the 1960's. Characters defined by their flaws. And we see their journey as they struggle to persevere anyway.

“Marvel films in recent years have been reduced to spectacles and events only Marvel fans enjoy, steeped in 30-plus movies of lore and seemingly endless hours of television context, but for a brief four-year moment in between 2008 and 2012, anyone could be a Marvel fan. And that might be what I miss the most.”

Ah yes,…

This is funny as hell given how many incel-types whine about how everything post-Avengers is woke and they’ve ruined comic movies, blah blah blah. Not quite as openly toxic as some Star Wars fans, at least.

the writers found a clever way to subvert it, with a conflict that doesn’t need to have galaxy-shattering ramifications to feel crucial for both the characters and the player.

I cut boot leather out of my diet.

There’s a world where rendering something like this through the most gut-churningly familiar lens possible is a powerful creative choice and not just an aesthetic flex and shock value. Based on what they’ve said so far. it doesn’t sound like these dudes are anywhere close to the people to be achieving the former,…

Lucas openly acknowledged that Obi Wan’s “certain point of view” bullshit was a desperate attempt to cover that when the first film was written, his idea really was that Vader was just a guy who killed Luke’s father, and he just really lucked out that Alec Guiness decided on his own to play the scene in a way that…

It seems like the average Star Wars Fan’s complaint is that these shows just keep giving us more Star Wars and I really wish they didn’t take the time to show us all this new and different Star Wars and just showed us the Star Wars.
