The realist in me sometimes wonders how hard she fantasizes about the day she's going to divorce him, take the assets and kids, and send him packing. Anyone got a betting pool going on how quick it'll be after Charles or William finally takes the throne that she cuts Harry off at the balls and throws him out of the house?
In my 40-plus years on this planet, I've seen several cicada broods hatch out. It always makes for an annoyingly long summer. I know they're edible, but I decided a loooooooong time ago that there's no way in hell I'd ever do that when I saw our barn cats catching the things and chowing down. The CRONCH CRONCH CRONCH sound, combined with seeing a still-kicking leg sticking our of one of their mouths, will forever be etched into my brain.
So no, I won't eat the damn bugs, and no amount of propaganda can change my mind on that front. AP and the wokies can go choke on their cicada pie.
Knee-jerk reaction before reading: No shit, Sherlock. That was pretty fucking obvious when you shoehorned in Captain Flatass into the Infinity Gauntlet storyline and then dragged the Captain Falcon story arc into the expanded MCU.
From the article:
According to Men’s Health writer Evan Romano, Feige also explained the reason why Shang-Chi did not show up in the Marvel Cinematic Universe despite being on their list for a long time is because “there was limited space to fit in characters needed during the lead-up to Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.”
Translated: We had to run through all the good stories before we were forced to start dragging in the D-listers from the Marvel back catalog. Besides, everyone knows this is just going to be there to set up some other stuff in the universe and so we can jerk off the ChiComs to get more money from them.
...but Romano adds, “And because Shang-Chi is a fairly obscure character, the studio can rewrite and modernize his story in ways that would be far less noticeable...
Translated: We had to figure out how to get rid of his Yellow Peril BBEG and get him out of the Bruce Lee pajamas, and we're hoping that anyone who actually read the original books either won't notice or has stopped caring about the character.
Shit like this is why I'm glad I checked the fuck out after Endgame.
“It’s going to be difficult to justify building a ‘huge world’ without any characters that look Asian.”
No shit. And out of that world, the original story took place in a relatively small chunk of one continent. On said continent we saw what was primarily a Euro-centric cross section of phenotypes. Exactly why the hell should any stories taking place in the same area be forced to include Asian-looking people? That ranks right up there with a D&D DM trying to shoehorn the new player's weeb ninja assassin into a current campaign that takes place in Greyhawk.
How about "no"? I mean, if all of the other Leftist sheeple out there go and get their genes messed with, then that should provide enough herd immunity protect those of us who don't feel like putting a not-fully-tested vaccine into our bodies, right?
Oh, wait, I forgot that the CDC conveniently changed the definition of Herd Immunity...
Haven't read the article yet, but my knee-jerk reaction was to say "Maybe that's because most of the actual MCU fans checked the fuck out after Endgame and don't give two shits about the fanfic that Disney is now producing?"
I mean, let's be real. Anyone who has followed the saga of SJWMarvel since back in 2012 saw this coming as soon as Endgame finished up. They made him into Captain Falcon in the comic books, and that went over like a turd in a punch bowl thanks to the ultra-wokeness of the writing. They toned it down a bit for the TV show, but they still got their jabs in with bringing in the retcon from the comics of the black guy as the test subject for the Serum, as well as Sam getting hassled for existing while being black.
I don't blame the actors for the stupidity of the writers, so I don't see any reason in giving Mackie any flak for the direction the woketards are taking the MCU. I just vote with my wallet and stay away from anything that shows up on D+ by not subscribing to the service.
Honestly, given the hordes of manga that are out there, I probably would have never heard of this one if it weren't for Conway's virtue-signaling ass, so I have him to thank for introducing me to yet another series that might not be high literature, but it damn sure looks like it's a fun read.
This from Gerry Conway, the dude who created what ended up being one of the most booba-tacular heroines in the DCU. But then again, we already knew he went full libtard when he started bitching about the usage of the Punisher's skull symbol.
Quite honestly, I'm starting to get sick of the whole misogyny/male gaze bullshit when it comes to tits in artwork (or in real life, for that matter). It's a clear case of lighting up the Virtue Signal in Conway's part, and a massive case of double-standards when it comes to the bullshit feminists and SJWs spew.
Give an SJW a fish and they might eat for a day, if they can get someone else to clean and cook it for them. Teach an SJW to fish and you won't have to worry about them ever again because they'll die of hunger before they can get past their fear of baiting a hook.
Looks like Anita's coffers were getting low if she's running another grift like this. Damn shame, too. I still had a few Devolver games on my wishlist. Guess those are gone now.
This one was a bit of a head-scratcher for me, because I just figured all states' unemployment programs worked like that. Years ago when I got permanently laid off from the desk job I was working I applied for unemployment. In order to maintain my unemployment benefits I had to not only apply for jobs if I wasn't actively in retraining, but also knew that if I was interviewed and offered a job that if I declined it then it could mean the end of my benefits even if I still had time left on that clock. Fortunately, I didn't have to bother with the applying because I was already going back to school, but I would have been making damn sure I was only applying for stuff that I wanted if that were the case.
Given the hate-boner that the Canadian police seem to have for the guy, it wouldn't shock me in the least. Just depends on how many charges they can fake up over the dude exposing the system's bullshit and standing up to the bullies that kept invading his church.
Portland Oregon
Sonofabitch... I do that way too often. With both Portland and Seattle being SJW enclaves my mind has completely conflated the two. Thanks for the correction.
Why are there so many books on women/"women" and bikes?
Best guess (based on the fact that several of them are zines) is that the whole thing was shat out of Portland, WA OR - known home of general weirdness, radfems, and people of all 1000 different made-up sexual orientations. Chalk it up to their smug, fart-sniffing ways.
And why is the cover art on all of them so go goddamn ugly?
See above about Portland and their community. If everyone in the circle-jerk keeps telling you that your artwork is great, then the empress will keep behaving as if she has clothes.
Is there a generator running somewhere that just keeps shitting these out?
Sadly, I'm betting that there's a clique of "authors" in the Washington Oregon area that produce this garbage and then act like they're the best thing since Vonnegut and Kerouac because their writing is so garbage that nobody but them can stand to read it.
EDIT: I fail at geography...
I think drastically changing hairstyles is what women do to act out when they feel out of control.
You would be correct in that assumption. One of the things women will do during times of stress is drastically change their hair - because it's one of the things they can have control over. When online dating first started becoming a thing, back in the early days of the web, someone wiser than me warned me about that: "If her hair doesn't look like her profile pic or the color doesn't exist in nature, run the other way." Adage still holds true to this day, possibly even more so in this age of dangerhair.
Well, they've been saying they want to reduce the population of men on the planet for decades. Now they've got a potential way to make it happen, although it'll have the knock-on effect of reducing the population of women as well. Guess they didn't think of that happening...
I've been saying stuff like this for years, ever since I realized how badly the Chicagoland area fucks over the rest of Illinois. 80+% of the state is ruled by the decisions of the Windy City and the collar counties. That shit ain't right.
That's something that has always bothered me, as well. Is there some sort of general collection of that shit on some server somewhere that they all have access to, so they can just grab from there and dump it on whatever target? Or are they all trading it back and forth between themselves like it's some sort of baseball card swap? Either way, it disgusts me, but it's one of those things that feels like it needs to be answered.
You would think, but menopause does weird shit to women's body chemistry and apparently there were enough of them in the department dealing with hot flashes that the rest of them were okay with just running their heaters + blankets in dealing with the chill. That whole section of the building was the bane of our existence in IT, because their stupid heaters would either overload the circuit in their wing and pop the breakers, or they'd constantly have issues with the towers under their desks overheating because they'd aim their personal heater damn near right at it.
I'll speak to the "air conditioning is sexist" line, but from the other end of the spectrum. The AC in my section of the building where I work is controlled by the women. One day in the middle of winter I was literally freezing my nips off, and there was cool air blowing from the ceiling vents. I go and check the thermostat, and it's set for the lowest setting. I did a quick whip-around the department and lo and behold all of these women have blankets over their laps and/or space heaters under their desks. Because so many of these women were post-wall and pre-menopausal, they had the heat turned all the way down so they could deal with their hot flashes, but then they bundled up because they were otherwise too cold. And heaven help me if I had tried to say anything about it to any of them. I just took to slowly nudging the thing back up every night before I went home since I was usually the last one out the door.
Hate to break the news to her, but "White America" understands the need for a proper trial and a jury of unintimidated peers. What we don't seem to get is the desire to pass summary judgement on a dude before he has his day in court, and then celebrate the miscarriage of justice that occurs during his trial, to the extent of cities declaring states of emergency even when the verdict falls in the favor of the extremist group's wishes, because they know that certain demographics are going to once again see it as a reason to burn, loot, and generally act like a group of imbeciles.
Considering that most women these days can't find their own G-spot, or if they can it takes a hooked vibrator with a motor that has a pull-start and i's branded "Yardmaster" to get them off, I hardly think that most men should be chastised for not being able to find a patch on the inside wall of the vag that you can't even hit with your dick, from any angle.
Serves one term as a senator and then is rocketed up to presidency.
If Jack Ryan hadn't tried to get Seven of Nine to go out and do kinky shit, he may not have even gotten that senate seat. It's funny (in that "coincidental, not ha-ha" way) that Jack's sexual proclivities got dragged out of the woodwork of his sealed divorce proceedings right at the same time he was gunning for that senate seat against the liberal Lord and Savior...
The whole premise of the movie just reminds me more of why social media and ease of access to the Internet for some people is a mistake. Pre-Twitter-and-Facebook if someone called you a fat, ugly fuck and told you to die in a fire on a message board somewhere, you either grew a thicker skin and blew it off or you threw it back at them that even their mother thought they were ugly and she had to tie a pork chop around their neck to get the dog to play with them.
It also goes to show how a lot of people out there don't have the wherewithal and logical coolness to handle rude remarks without flying off the handle on their own. The whole premise of flying into such a murderous rage that you would actually kill someone who verbally attacked you online just baffles me. It's revenge-porn for the illiberal liberals, but the majority of them wouldn't have the stones to even attempt it IRL.
I always figured they had Di killed because she knew too much inside dirt on the royals and had already fucked up by banging her way through the high-society phonebook over in the UK at the same time Charles was getting up Camilla's knickers. Hell, only a fool would claim that Harry was Charles' kid. Dodi Fayed was just the collateral damage because he was the boytoy of the moment.
Poor simp just can't get it through his head that the majority of people don't hate Meghan because she's not white. They hate her because they recognize that she's a gold-digging C-list celebrity that only got to where she is by throwing her legs in the air, and that nothing good will ever come out of her and Harry's marriage.
