  • If somebody agrees to work for me at below minimum wage and seems enthusiastic about it, am I still exploiting them? What if I'm paying them $15/hr but no medical, 401k, or other benefits because it's under the table? Is it not exploitation, even if the person is happy to get the wage?

    It seems a very different situation between legal, documented immigrants being represented by a legitimate job placement company, vs undocumented immigrants who are being paid unknown wages and have much less ability to negotiate.

  • Some factories run 24/7, yet individual workers do not have 24/7 shifts.

  • What does that have to do with unrepresented immigrant laborers? Do you think they are really getting a union level wage?

  • I thought the reason we spent so much time with the stupid rebels was to really make sure we knew how dumb they are. This will be so that there's no question why they screw up a mission on Ghormon. I imagine an ISB intermediary supplying them with a lot of explosives and telling them to blow up an Imperial target, but the ISB ensuring the group ends up blowing up civilians instead.

  • Tay laid it out to Mon: He went out on a limb to help her hide her money and activities, he feels she hasn't properly rewarded him, his existing investments have been hurt by the rebellion, and his personal life has fallen apart.

    He's a loose cannon.

  • From his conversion with Mon in episode 2 where he talked about being undervalued and the rebels having caused damage to his investments it was instantly clear to me that he was a problem that was going to be solved.

  • I presume we aren't counting the people who are heads in jars? Even if they have shiny new bodies?

  • The symptoms you're describing point to "shitpostus eruptus." It's a terrible disorder where the shitpost tries to leap out of the shitposter and directly onto the internet.

  • Stick some money in your walls. I'll get it.

  • Far Cry 5 strangely has very enjoyable fishing.

  • And yet Inside Job only got one season. The world makes no sense.

  • I do find it nuts that Babylon 5 got to run for five seasons. It was a new scifi franchise (meaning no pre-existing fandom) that was basically going head to head with Star Trek Deep Space 9, and it had multiple actors in major parts drop out of the show.

  • While Europeans measure in meters, Americans measure in feet.

  • Deep Rock Galactic.

    There is a huge amount of loadout progression for each class, and a seemingly infinite amount of cosmetics to acquire. While there are only a limited number of mission types, the randomized nature of the level population and all of the various modifiers and enemy types that have been added keeps the game fresh. The game is entirely co-op with no PVP element, which keeps the tone more focused on helping other players instead of ever seeing them as competition.

  • Among other things. Though I only saw it as an adult, so I think I was influenced by similar things or influenced by works influenced by Wizards.

  • I went through a phase years ago where I was obsessed with copying Mignola. I'm over it, but some of the influence lingers.

  • Riverdale actually did what I've always wished for a boring failure of a show to do, and just completely go nuts.

    Oh our boring high school drama show is slumping? How about an organ stealing cult, a superhero, and a guy escaping from the cops in a rocketship!

  • It's very satisfying. You get a proper ending that's bittersweet.
