Why the fuck is it so hard for them to part with what they would consider pocket change?
It's not about the money
It's about "fuck you, I do what I want now do what I tell you or I will throw more money than most cities get in their yearly budget in order to ruin everything for everyone"
I'll vote for you in the "most likely to get the joke one panel before the end" category at the award ceremony.
I would bet the entirety of my yearly pay that it was absolutely, 100% a joke and they have a perfectly healthy relationship.
We truly live in a society
BOTTOM TEXT
I am sorry if this comes off as offensive to anyone, I'm not trying to be.
I don't get furries.
I also don't have to completely understand their ins and outs and complexities to know they're people who are worthy of respect for being other living people. (or non-people if they identify as non-people? Again I don't understand them as much as I probably should).
Regardless, shout out to all the furries out there who struggle with things I can't even imagine.
Evolution.
It knows what it is, and nobody in it is under some illusion that they're making some masterpiece of cinema. That is not at all a criticism or even backhanded compliment. I like when the actors have fun with the things they're working on. I mean, who doesn't love seen behind the scenes of Ian Mckellen slapping a dummy of Sean Aston around.
It's fun, it's ridiculous, and it leans into it a bit.
Plus they came up with the Thanos Weakness a long time before the avengers fans.

(it's the butthole, they attacked a giant alien anus with soap to save the day)
This reminds me of that one time in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.
Lol nvidia CEO couldn't do my job for an hour.
I am absolutely confident that I could do his job for an hour.
The empty chair in his office does his job just as easily, too.
You can tell me all about the meetings and deals they have to worry about but ultimately, by the time a company gets that large, it could run itself without a c-suite for quite some time.
My last employee orientation really didn't like me saying to the group of 10 or so "anti-union speeches should be just as illegal as insinuating we aren't allowed to discuss wages"
And also I have called a new employee a fucking idiot for saying "guys we aren't supposed to talk about wages" when the topic came up one day and "I'm gonna get a manager" when the discussion continued.
They aren't around anymore as of this morning, but they liked the hoodie and hat and I thought someone might like to see two doggos.
They were both good girls and I miss them.
Just a guess, but when the person you're replying to says "nestle" they mean "the company of nestle, it's employees and all their bullshit" rather than "this specific person from the company" like most people...
I doubt many people are under the illusion that major players in any company are directly involved with astroturfing on websites they don't own.
It's always going to be a low level employee, possibly even an unpaid intern.
