Yeah, I couldn’t find an article going into that level of detail on what “packaging” meant, but I have to imagine it’s the more involved process.

I believe packaging here is more involved than just putting them in a container.

Which means, these chips are made in Europe, but actually finalized as a real product in China.

I mean it’s the main premise of one of the most popular musicals - Les Miserables.

While I think the movies are good, I think they should have had an older Spiderman. Not only has teen Spiderman been done so many times, but it would have made him a more obvious successor to IronMan and helped with the post endgame transition.

I agree with you regarding Dr. Strange 2. I don’t know how you can have a whole series leading into a movie and yet still have such whiplash in character motivations.

Wandavision ends with Wanda seemingly coming to some self realization that she’s done something horrible. Then somehow she’s become a full physcotic killer by the start of DS2. Even with the little ending teaser showing her holding the “evil” book, it was just too jarring and forced.

Isn’t this basically what turned into the “Manosphere” with people like Nick Fuentes, Andrew Tate, and Charlie Kirk.

Basically moving away from explicitly “dating” to general “manliness/Alpha” stuff, but still preying on typical male insecurities.

Yeah, just imagine what would happen if he had gotten in an accident. Even ignoring abducting the child, can you imagine what a mess that insurance report would be?

I’m sorry, you think it’s normal for federal agents to drive away in a citizens car WITH a child in it?

Not to mention it was a 1 year old, and the family doesn’t know what happened with the child during the HOURS they had here I their custody.

Maybe this is a “whoosh”, but this is something the IRS (under Trump) decided to do. So no voting was directly involved.

I imagine that it would be a decision that just affects things going forward to avoid all of that.

~~~~The fact they got a case at all says that people were still willing to allow a case.~~~~

Edit: I was wrong, apparently they dropped it down to a misdemeanor so they didn't need to get it past a grand jury.

I can’t recall, but in the MCU had they resurrected anyone up to that point? I guess Loki sorta?

Either way, one of the redeeming things with the MCU was that it was more grounded and avoided some of the sillier tropes. But they kinda jumped the shark with Endgame and introducing the five year jump / time travel / multiple dimensions.

The biggest issue with Endgame is that there are no stakes. In the previous movie they had already defeated Thanos, and the big plot point in Endgame was time travel - meaning they could endlessly go back to collect the stones to fix things.

You know the writing is bad when you have to ressurect the bad guy you literally just killed off.

As Avenue Q says - Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist.

But also, I never said anything about racism. To me it seems like there is a large part of the US that is willing to give up the ideals of our country (due process, free speech, voting rights), if they can get the policies they think they want.

I mean, I’m not the original commenter and I don’t think they’re literally nazis myself. But ~39% of Americans have stood with Trump through both presidencies. When every poll (popularity, opinions on ICE, shutdown, etc.) seems to land around that same number, it means there is some consistent cohort there.

Yeah, I think that’s a safe assumption. While discord and telegram aren’t inherently bad, I think they carry more risks than just going to some site like pornhub.

The article mentions this. They only mention a 77% drop in visits from the UK, but VPNs have seen increased use. So most likely people in the UK are using VPNs to view porn (however, they don’t mention other countries numbers being up or down).

Additionally, they call out that most likely people are also going to sites not following the law. This has always been a big issue with these laws, in that they push people to more extreme/unregulated sites rather than actually curbing the behavior (which is a problematic goal in the first place).

It’s 20% off right now on Steam. I’ve been eyeing it but during the fall sale I decided to go with Lords of the Fallen over this.

I don’t disagree with you that democrats need to be doing more. But when half of the country seems committed to tearing the country apart, passing multiple pieces of meaningful legislation (don’t forget things like Build Back Better) sadly feels like a high bar.

And I apologize for the accusatory tone, I know that’s not something directly in your control. But let’s also be honest, the Republicans are the ones preventing Healthcare expansion in your state, democrats may not be perfect, but they’re not the ones holding power in your state.

I could get two out of cava, but I can also get two meals out of Chipotle so a bit of a wash from my perspective.
