Can't not delete a negative tweet about a company that you want to get attention from. ;)
Especially if you're so in love with the service that you don't know basic things like what plans they offer.

Because it's literally not true.

That doesn't usually stop her. To elaborate: It's literally not true *and* it makes her look like an idiot. The "family plan" (meals for 4) is ONE HALF the screen next to the "2-person plan."

https://www.blueapron.com/pages/pricing

But it's on the "pricing" tab. Ergo, Wu didn't look at the price before she ordered it. And she's shilling a product she knows nothing about.

Business as Wu-sual, really.


Edit: Not fast enough with the info. And I wasted the pun I was saving.

Products like this are seriously some of the worst ever. You're paying takeout and sit down prices, when you could make it on your own for half, easily.

And their fish and chips are pan-fried. That is a sin.

It's a fantastic pun and you should be proud of it!
 
This must really boil your blood, John - beside yourself with envy.

All that effort with the TV show, SXSW, the book, your incessant trolling - and you're still just an insignificant little blip compared to Alison and Jake's salacious drama. Sorry, big guy.

Meanwhile, you've been reduced to selling out your Twitter followers for a few bucks for product placements that only highlight your incompetence with basic life skills like cooking, even though you're a married, middle-aged man.

I had been thinking about this, actually.

At the moment, Wu is solidly boosting for Rapp. It's the party line and grand statements like, "I'm not buying a Wii-U," make her look good.

But: Consider that Social Justice Donor Patreon Dollars (aka victimbux) are a finite resource. And every time someone pulls up a chair to the table, the portions just get redivided - since nobody's polite enough to bring a covered dish to this party.

One does wonder what will happen when Alison Rapp sets up a Patreon of her own. Hopefully one with, "We're an adorable quirky hipster couple trying to make rent in the big city and nobody gave us a house to live in for free!"

I suspect she's going to get bitchy. Part of Wu's identity revolves around not just being a woman, but an attractive woman. And Wu despises women who are younger and prettier than her, like ShoeOnHead and... pretty much all of them, actually. When you throw in the fact that her Patreon money from painfully thirsty SJW men is going to have to compete with a hot little 6 out of 10 whose ovaries are factory-standard?

Despite their hilarious debauchery, Alison and Jake convincingly *look* the part of the sweet, nerdy millenial romance. They're going to have a much easier time convincing people to part with their cash then Brianna and Frank's, uh... thing.

Flynt/Wu's idiotic comments on book publishing and his utter lack of understanding of how markets work caused me to start wondering about his disastrous failure of a game and just how much market research was done before he set the worker bees to toiling on Revolution 60.

It turns out that if Flynt/Wu did any market research at all, he ignored it and produced a game that was actually designed to fail.

With his typically boundless hubris, Flynt/Wu likes to compare Revolution 60 to Heavy Rain and Mass Effect. But when he started on Revolution 60, he refused to recognize one of the crucial elements shared by HR and ME -- players can choose to play as either a male or female character. In Rev 60, players are forced play as one of Flynt/Wu's egregiously anorexic "female" arthropods.

There is plenty of market research showing that games in which players are forced to play as female characters go to market at a serious disadvantage. Games in which you can only play as a male character outsell female-character-only games by 75 percent. And games in which you are forced to play as a male character outsell games in which you can choose the sex of your character by 25 percent.

Any small gaming company that puts out a product in which only female characters are playable is taking careful aim and deliberately blasting itself in the foot. Nice shot, Flynt/Wu.
 
Does Natalie's family enjoy Blue Apron as well or does her ever diminishing Patreon paycheck have to go to groceries like a regular, existing person?

Looking back on that bit of pseudo-C++-code Wu tweeted earlier, she should focus on learning that first.

it was so bad and she said it was pseudocode but who uses endl and lshift on pseudocode and uses = as a comparison operator
Also it was just fairly inefficient for a 10 line program
