Oh yeah you're right. I just looked it back up and this article says one of the commentators was getting $400k a month, a $100k signing bonus, and additional performance based payment in exchange for I guess 4 videos a week.

I guess according to the allegations only the founders of Tenet Media or whatever it was called knew the money was coming from Russia and they hid it from the talking heads.
But like... How much money do these people have to be getting paid before they have a thought to question where it's coming from? Dim Tool was apparently getting like $100k a WEEK from them. Like at what point does it start to get suspicious?
Edit: I was misremembering. Apparently it was $100k a week so that's $400k a month.
I've gotten tricked out of so many things by those blasted Fae. My gender, my sexual attraction, my attention, and precisely 1 (one) of my pronouns.
Now I go by He/They because I can never be Him.
Does this stack with the clipboard, HiVis vest, or ladder buffs? Asking for a friend.
From Wikipedia:
In November 2022, Gearbox Entertainment acquired the Risk of Rain IP. Hopoo Games remains an independent studio. Hopoo now states that they are working on other games and projects.
The Steam page for the DLC also lists Gearbox Software as the developer and Gearbox Publishing as the publisher so yeah. Seems accurate.
Looking at what appears to be this guy's twitter I think that's probably accurate. One of the first things I saw looking for this guy's profile was this and I can't see any other explanation for the term "Straightriotic lovemaking"
That's just how Vash's arm is even in the old version actually! Idk about the new version because I haven't gotten around to watching the Trigun reboot, but yeah Vash's arm always stopped at the top of his bicep.
On June 29, 2021, the district court dismissed the operative complaint, and the court entered final judgment the next day. The district court dismissed Science Feedback without prejudice for lack of service, and it dismissed the remaining Defendants with prejudice for failure to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.
Quick search for "with prejudice" in the document. I guess they tried to argue that Meta was acting on behalf of the state when they "censored" their anti vaccine posts, but they failed spectacularly in doing so.
Small note. The writer didn't choose the title, the editorial staff at the Boston Globe did. The person who actually wrote the article, Greg Beacham is a writer for the Associated Press, which syndicates their stories to papers worldwide. Those papers are then allowed to choose the headline they run with if they decide to run it. That's why he's included in the apology. He talked about it over on his Twitter.
So I have a hard time believing anything other than actual malice on the part of the Globe's editorial staff.
I would absolutely kill for a Weird Al parody of "Not Like Us" about how deeply and toxicly creepy and weird these rightoid freaks are.
More than just non-conforming generally too. They super quickly embraced that non-conformist image when it came to the masks.
But it feels like just calling them weird triggers a primal fear within them that they're not really part of the "in-group" after all. It works where other insults don't because they can't easily write it off as their enemies simply being jealous of how cool they are basically.
It's true. He is in fact way more Him than I was ever capable of being.
I am simply built differently... alternatively. Some might even go so far as to say incorrectly. I know I would.
