lol yeah that's my reaction too, a comic book bringing up ethics in journalism. until I thought about it for a moment and was like Superman is literally a walking god who can do more or less whatever he wants but choses to use his powers for good and live amongst humanity.

That's like Lex worrying about how Superman would spend a million dollars while Lois is worrying about how Clark would spend a fraction of a penny.

I'm not going into the context of the story but TLDR: Lois Lane says as EiC she can't let Clark write Superman stories due to conflict of interest.

Hire redhead intern on full time to cover Superman. Which is more or less the reason for the plot.

  1. Lois is telling Superman, a being with the power to destroy planets and enslave humanity that she can't trust him to be objective on news articles about himself.

  2. Lois is the EiC, and she is married to superman. Wouldn't that mean she too is violating her own journalistic ethics by allowing any coverage of her husband without at the minimum a public disclosure of the conflict of interest.

It's just a comic book but I had a little chuckle when I saw the article on my feed. Just shoddy writing and logic.

oof, I don't remember most of that. I wasn't going to go back and watch it but man, pre-gamergate me just didn't pay attention to that kind of stuff.

I do remember the man guy killing his left-hand man and the ship crashed and they're marooned at the end of the season and I didn't really care about what happened next and never bothered with the second season.

I think there's a decent amount of western films and shows being made. I'm not in the industry but I imagine as far as budget goes it's pretty cheap to make a western, remote settings, limited cast, little to no special effects, budget friendly armorer, very cost friendly to churn out by comparison to other genres.

Pirate and nautical has way more production cost and logistics. Again, I'm channeling my inner Cliff Clavin, but I think Pirates of the Caribbeans, like Marvel hero flicks, CoD, and Walking Dead, is so big and mainstream those trying to get in on the fad end up losing their asses because people in general don't care about genre, they just want something good with mainstream appeal.

What the fuck do I know, my media consumption consist mostly of 80s to early 2000s sitcoms. Oh, recently binged Love Boat, DO NOT binge the Love Boat! it has the same string background music and you end up getting the tetris effect. Other than that, what an easy turn off your brain, have it on in the background while you play work type of show.

I only watched season one of Black Sails and thought it was pretty gritty depiction of pirates. I can't fully recommend it since I watched it in 2014 and I honestly don't know how woke it is, I do recall watching the entire first season so it can't be that bad. I would recommend you watch the first episode and see if it's your pace.

And not pirate themed but Master and Commander is just a great movie.

What if he owned up to the relationship as consensual, one where she's 22 and he was in his 60s?

I mean I personally would give him a high five but he wouldn't high five a degenerate conservative like me.

Honestly, I was surprised no one popped off last night, years past doesn't matter what day the 4th fell on, come midnight someone is shooting fireworks. Last year it was friday to tuesday with iirc a night off due to rain.

This year, not just my street, it was quiet in the entire area all week.

The biggest cope I heard irl was how wrong I was about Biden being drugged up for the debate. My rebuttal to the TDS retard was in starcraft you can spam stim but it doesn't work when the unit is at 1hp.

It's baffling, during the start of the season, I literally said irl that I'm glad the WNBA is getting eyeballs on it and proving that it wasn't bigoted, "misogynistic", male sports fans that were keeping the WNBA down. It was them not having a product people were willing to tune into. Clark changed that, and while I won't be watching, I'm not sad or mad that they're doing well.

Since then it seems as if they're actively trying to fuck it up and act like the bitches I knew they were.

Women.

She only agrees with you because sweet saudi money paid her more.

Doesn't mean she's wrong, but she should be subjected to the same treatment as rational people who speaks up and getting called out as antisemitic and a nazi. They made up the bullshit rules, they should live by it.

So they're playing in calvin klein jeans and you have to pull handkerchiefs from their backpockets?

How is that any different than their typical friday nights?

I didn't see the movie so when I read the translation "Can this war of yours finally be done?" I thought that's actually on brand with women nowadays.

But given the context that she is somewhat understanding I get why people think the translation sucked.

Video games are naturally diverse.

I don't wanna get on their discord but I would post heterosexual stock image like a woman in the kitchen cooking while a man wraps his arms around her from behind. Or a couple at a sporting event. Just, you know, posting and celebrating my sexuality.

Dude was thin up top, shorty might was well have fucked his mother for exposing him like that.

Everyone sucks in this video.

Also fake.

And taking a hat from a guy and wearing it like that is totally something a girl do to get a guy's attention. Even his cock hungry eyes while getting chastised by his mancrush was gay af. And his "damn actually" post slap, just ask if he'll let you suck his dick off camera, he might as long as he gets to keep his hat on.

On one hand I can't take allegation of rape on face value. I read the wiki and there isn't a lot of detail.

Why were they at the village? PFC, PFC and a PVT going to a village by themselves sound less like a detail and more like they were off post on their personal time. Not in a squad, no NCO, without weapons. Repeated visits suggest they aren't there to hand out chocolate bars (ahem). So yeah sounds like they were up to no good.

I did find it humorous they called the cave Kuronbō Gama (黒ん坊がま), cave of the black boys, instead of Kuroi Yūrei Gama (黒い幽霊がま), cave of the black ghosts, which just talking out of my ass, I assume they don't want the cave to be haunted by black ghost.

All of it went to veteran job placement organizations. While commendable, is the type of charity where the money goes towards service based operations. Any vocational training I assume would be done thru partnerships which can also be very incestuous.

two big orgs they gave millions to Hire Heroes USA pay their CEO 350k and COO 270k. While VetJobs compensation missing either the top guys are doing it for free or the information is not available their revenue is 3.9 million while expenses are 3.5 million. Pretty much spending as much as they take in.

For the purpose of job placement for vets. I don't want to go into the logistics of it but from what I read from their pages it's job placement. VetJobs offers training but not vocational, more transitional. Again I'm assuming from the ten minutes I looked into it bulk of their expense goes to staffing.

What's my point, none really, I'm not a fan of charities to began with and charities providing services rather than goods is the ideal way to funnel money and provide jobs to some useless art major who happens to be some congressman's daughter, who'll owe you a favor.

Not calling them scams, but job placement for vets when most companies have policies and initiatives, not to mention government incentives, to hire vets, it's like hosting a summer camp for NBA players to improve their layup.

because it's two clicks and once you have an account it's one click.

And you need it for group gaming with modern people who can only use gay faggot discord.

edit: my mistake I did a quick check with some random invite, it doesn't have google or facebook sign in so yeah it's multiple clicks but once you have an account it's one click. Kinda surprised it doesn't use google sign in (whatever that's called)

It's like they'll say what non-sensical shit on twitter just to win internet points without any fucking base in reality.

His post is such a fucking L and self own as their side, the woketards, literally censor and ban mods they disagree with.

I want so badly to get on twitter and reply to these retards but I see the comments and I just don't have the mother's milk for that kind of shit anymore.
