I can't wait until the HR department goes the way of the 3 martini lunch middle manager position. A position which ironically got decimated because of the creation and rise of HR departments.

Any movie with superman in it will inherently fail/be bad unless it is 1. A children's movie 2. Is only a superman movie and no other super heroes, or 3. Self aware and absurdist about superman and his powers and make it a comedy.

Superman is a god. There is no way getting around that. His powers are like nothing else in the justice league. The only real threat to superman are god like villains, but they make the other heroes basically useless since they're not competing on the same level and can't do anything superman couldn't do. The other heroes are just there to get their asses kicked until superman arrives.

Conversely if you don't use a god tier villain then there is no drama. Sure, the justice league might have a problem fighting batman's rogue gallery, but superman can just sweep in and deal with everyone in seconds thus again making everyone else useless.

This means the only way to make a team superman movie is to basically come up with a way to keep superman out of the picture or neutralized through 90% of the movie and then he swoops in right before the climax and saves the day because he is the only one capable of saving the day. This story telling can really only work once. But they have to keep doing it over and over to the point where if you're going to watch a DC team movie you're going to go "well how are they getting rid of superman today."

I only bought the Harry Potter books recently because of the complete leftist breakdown over them. I'm going to spite buy this game just to give it more sales numbers.

Yep. Hazing is basically designed to weed out people that can't take a joke or get violently confrontational over minor things. It is the simplest test to see if someone is a raging asshole.

Put a bunch of hot sauce in someone's beer when they're not looking. If they laugh it off go "fuck you, guys" and get another beer, they're a normal person that you can hang out with. If they flip the fuck out, knock over a table and want to fight everyone you know not to keep them in your circle.

So people like this are either the above mentioned assholes or I would take it a step further and say they never had any real socialization with guys and find the concept foreign, or that they're overly sensitive or have other deep rooted issues, or a combination thereof.

They don't understand that guys hanging out is a game of bullshitting and trading insulting. From an outside perspective the closest group of guy friends will look like they can't stand each other because it will be a constant stream of insults. But internally that is a sign of trust and camaraderie.

It is a coping mechanism. They know they killed a living thing so they come up with reasons why it doesn't count.

No one believes what they are doing is evil(aside from sociopaths), they create justifications why what they did is right even when deep down they know what they did is wrong.

There were actually strong political reasoning behind that, it is just nobles marrying into an already existing political elite so they have legitimacy of government. The commoners will accept the new Greek overlords because they're married to the old overlords.

Plus political elites from one group have more in common than political elites from another group than either group have in common with their peasants.

They're the more "empathetic" sex because they're more mentally similar to teenagers than adults. Women stop maturing at roughly 18. Teenagers and children are more heavily guided by emotions than reasonable thought. So everything is based on feelings.

Now there is a biological reason for this. Since the survival of the species is of the utmost priority and women are, really were historically, responsible for 90% of the child rearing responsibilities(and are the ones that give birth) they need to 1. mature faster than men to take care of children(no species has a female able to bear children without the maturity to care for it) and 2. To better understand and deal with children they need to be less mature.

But being less mature and more emotional means they are subject to all the same issues. Mostly a "Me, me, me," culture and ideal. Everything must be about their most immediate needs and how they feel that exact instance. Once you understand that and preface everything a woman says with "Right now I feel..." understanding them becomes massively easier.

No one takes prescription pills anymore. They all moved on to heroin after they cracked down on the pill mills. They're "fighting" the "last war"

This keeps over playing the russian angle. Which is the problem with a lot of things in the US. We keep looking at the old enemy as the main enemy. This has been overblown for the past 12 years by the left as they refuse to acknowledge china as America's biggest competitor. Russia should and could be an american and western european ally because it makes more sense for them geopolitically to be. Europe needs russian gas and oil. China wants russian territory. China and Russia aren't true allies, they weren't even true allies when they were both communist. The two civilizations have always been at odds.

Also, I think this article(and most articles) go on about the power of china but not their weaknesses. China is going through a demographic crisis with an aging population and abysmal birth rates(actual numbers are hard to come by, but not even the official numbers are good for China.) This aging problem leads to monetary problems. China'd economy is close to hitting the growth wall. It has already massively slowed down and it will be hard for them to fix it. They haven't had a recession yet, which all economies eventually have, and when they do it could very well lead to massive unrest. Unrest that is won't just be within the ethnic minorities on the edges of china but within the han chinese themselves. I think this is why china is pushing so hard to forcibly integrate hong kong 100%. They need a forcibly boost to a stagnating economy.

This is going to pass the house most likely. The senate is going to need to filibuster this or hopefully the West Virginian senator that leans right will vote against it.

Anyone buying now on the hype is going to get burned and get burned hard in the long run because gamestop is probably going to plummet to below its december price of 10 dollars once this is all said and done and the panic selling ensues.

"The financial fraud related to gamestop." Do they mean reporting on public information in regards to shares being purchased and/or shorted?
