If you like nice shirts with no design or logo, Kohl's has some really comfortable shirts in several colors and no logo at all. They're some of my favorite shirts right now.

Pretty sure people have been shitting on AI pretty heavily as well, partly for those reasons (but also for several others).

How do you feel about square drive? I'm no carpenter, just someone that's done enough work around the house, but I've found that Torx are the best option but square is a close second (but I don't think I've used them in any especially high torque situations, and they may fall short there).

The city runs a land bank you can buy decapitated houses from for $1k.

Damn, are there a lot of houses that had their heads cut off?

The thing with those is that, while it was a small amount of content, it wasn't just a mission, each was about an hour of repeatable content that was fairly fun to farm. At $2, they actually still felt worth it with as much fun as B2 was. If they had asked for like $10 each, people would have flipped out.
I'm not a Starfield player, but I would bet this is not even close to as good of a value proposition.

Man I Loved the Strike games when I was young, definitely going to be looking out for this one.

So I don't think it's the only solution, or that anyone that doesn't care for C# is wrong or anything like that, but it is a suitable language for large segments of development and is both a good career and, in my opinion, rather pleasant to work with. Looking at the languages listed in that list you shared, I see a lot of C, C++, and Java, which I have no interest in working in again unless i have a good reason for it. The other languages there are fine but I never had a big interest in Go (Google's language) - it seems fine, but in my area I don't think there's much of a community around it.
The .NET community is pretty active where I live which is a plus, there are lots of jobs in the language and lots of professionals that are proficient in it. I'm going to try to avoid sharing too specific of information, but I've used C# in industries from healthcare, to automotive, to HR, to fitness. There are absolutely no shortage of companies using the technology - according to Statista, it's the 8th most popular language, and they are including SQL and bash in that listing. I'm not sure I believe that data, but it was the first result I clicked in a very quick Google search.
I agree that popular != good, but if we are going to use "what companies are doing," there are clearly plenty of people that have found it to be the right choice for their projects.
I will say that if your last exposure to .NET was like 5-10 years ago, it's worth taking a look at what it offers now - not necessarily to use it yourself but to at least understand that it does bring a lot to the table. I tend to see a lot of people that make references to C# as it related to .NET Framework (e.g. "you have to use Windows") that haven't been the case since .NET Core came out in 2016. I will absolutely agree that it's not always the right choice and there are aspects to the .NET world (Microsoft has the most obnoxious versioning - .NET Framework up to 4.x -> .NET Core up to 3.1 -> .NET 5 up to 8). And I fully get not wanting to work on it because it's Microsoft because everyone has their brands that want as little to do with as possible, but it is a good object oriented language.

It very much depends on what you're trying to do. C# is pretty great for developing APIs, especially in an enterprise environment involving a lot of business logic. I don't have much of an opinion on Django as I haven't spent enough time looking into it, but I have looked at enough Node.js code to know I don't prefer it for most of the projects I've been involved in.
My Python experience is largely based in working with things like Raspberry Pis, and relatively simple jobs where Python made the job pretty easy. I don't know enough experience with larger Python projects to have a feel for what good architecture in a complex application looks like.
With C#, I can go into a large application using good practices and quickly navigate the code and be productive.

I work in C# and I find it highly preferable over working in Java or C++.

Modern .NET (i.e. .NET Core and later) is cross platform. In fact, .NET APIs now are routinely run in containers not based on Windows.

I do find it odd that it settled into ADHD-I, ADHD-H and ADHD-C; the one that is primarily expressed through hyperactivity literally is called "Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder - Hyperactive".

Removing the H and using the subtypes would add clarity for sure.
