Did you intentionally model this after Andrew Ryan's spiel about Rapture, or was it a subconscious thing?

I thought that was just a rule because the reddit admins would nuke the sub if it wasn't? Is .win the same there?

The old BBC TV series/movies were good. I think those went up through The Silver Chair. I recall a lot of people being rather annoyed with some of the changes in the recent movies (never seen any myself.)

The bit at the beginning where all the Amazons are trying to stop Steppenwolf from getting the Motherbox and they're all yelling like kids when they're supposed to be some of the worlds foremost warriors... yeah, it was bad. That said, I'm pretty sure that was in the theatrical release, and the whole movie was that bad in that version.

Didn't you hear? All the senators (except 4) were driven from the chamber by violent right wing extremists a Republican senator insisting that the nth covid stimulus bill be read on the floor in it's entirety. We can't let this blatant attack on our democracy insistence that proper procedure be followed stand!

I thought they cast Kobe in this one so that they could dig up the corpse of another beloved icon and desecrate it.

Supposedly most/all of the currently available SARS-Cov-2 vaccines are ineffective in preventing transmission, but are primarily used to minimize symptoms. If someone has more detailed information on which ones are intended for symptom minimization and which are intended for reduction in transmission feel free to share, but I have no intention of taking it myself and don't really need any further information to dissuade most of those I care about from avoiding the vaccines than pointing out the rushed approval process for this vaccine and that the nearest relative of this Virus (SARS-COV-1, or just SARS) hasn't had a vaccine developed yet despite having been around far longer.

And then he was removed from power when a box of stones labeled "Biden" mysteriously showed up in the middle of the night, cementing the downfall of Neanderthal civilization.

I'd argue Lung Cancer is one of the few cancers people actually 'deserve' to die of in most cases. Obviously there are cases where environmental conditions outside the individual's control cause or exacerbate the cancer, but I believe the vast majority of cases are caused by individuals smoking or otherwise voluntarily inhaling carcinogens (and Rush certainly falls into this group.)

That said, Rush was the voice of American conservatism for many years and we have lost a great man. I'm sure the media will continue to focus on his vices and abrasiveness, but he contributed more to the proliferation of conservatism in the US throughout the 80's, 90's, and into the 00's than any other private citizen.
