No, have you seen The Big O?

I’ll keep that in mind if I’m ever feeling adventurous and in a superhero mood. Mostly because you are advocating for it well, and I can appreciate that that typically comes from somewhere. Thank you for the recommendation :)

I did kinda like MCU basically through endgame (just the movies, some of the shows were good too, but I don’t think they were really relevant) and then it just got to be too much for too long.. what are they up to now like 90 movies? Last I checked it was in the 60s, since they fully claim all their old movies now as canon, and I’m not even counting the animated stuff there… so much. I’ve seen most of them but I can’t even keep track anymore.

Oh god I remember this from like so so so long ago.

When the internet was all about unidentified risky links. And shock value.

Haven’t really managed to get into DC stuff, tbh. I’m sure I have several of the DCAMU but haven’t watched any of them. Their universe is too… all over the place to have ever caught me in the following (lots of reboots/retellings with new cast, which I strongly dislike for immersion reasons)

But often when I find a movie series like that I’ll watch them like a mini-series. I throw them into a collection and watch back to back. Sometimes I’ll do that with live action movie series too, but they are harder to get into. Animated movies can be visually consistent years apart in a way that live action usually just can’t.

This is basically my experience too. I don’t really like movies. They feel rushed and empty, and I want to exist within a story for a long time, like video games. And like video games, and books, I strongly prefer sci-fi/fantasy.. tho the type of sci-fi does matter.. the really dystopian stuff is not my jam at the moment, because of the actual world.

Animated movies are sort of an exception for me, in that I do watch those much more frequently than live action, but they tend to tell much more simplified stories, in a visually more approachable way. You can’t immerse for long periods, but it’s a quick fall into it, and generally quite fantastical in nature.

Edit for clarity :)

Ooooh yes, and the other way around too. I’ve watched an absolute assload of apparently obscure bullshit, but absolutely never the same obscure bullshit people want me to have seen.

You could seal the bread with cheese and toast it and you wouldn’t have that problem.

And you could totally still make it into a salad that way if you wanted, it would just have cheese croutons :)

I’ll trade you the free chips and salsa (and bread at some places), as well as the cheaper virgin drinks… for your social safety nets.

Deal? No? Damn.

That makes my mind go to keeping their equipment in pens, like concrete block wall pens. Right next to the livestock so it can’t escape.

And that’s a really silly idea, but probably not all that far off.

All the places I’ve worked (pre and post Covid), virgin drinks are charged like sodas unless it’s something like a virgin Bloody Mary with lots of stuff in it.

So around here, currently, you’d be looking at like $3.50 for each of them, which is pretty close, assuming this is like a Mexican restaurant with free chips and salsa.

I wonder if this is the first time Calvin realized dad is full of shit, like, all the time..

I don’t really recall another one where he calls him out, it’s usually mom that does it.

Anyone know?

How the fuck do these people think they are going to know an absence is for an abortion? Do they really think their female students are going to volunteer that information in fucking Texas of all places?

It’s pretty damned easy to say “I need time off for a medical procedure” and nothing else, because they aren’t allowed to ask what sort of medical care you are getting. They can ask for a doctors note I suppose but that’s pretty easy to get, and also doesn’t have reasons on it. Or they can say they have a wedding or funeral to attend or whatever.

Or do they think because it’s a woman it’s safe to just assume, as many medical professionals do, that everything medical is related to reproductive systems?

This whole thing is just really gross for no reason other than to be gross. They are just mad they aren’t sleeping with these women.

Although in fairness, I don’t think students should be held to attendance standards in college anyway, it’s a lazy grading metric for failure schools that admit shit students. As adults, students may have other things going on that they need to handle, and if they fail to do the work as a result that’s their problem. I only had a handful of classes that gave a shit about attendance, and I dropped the ones I could because I’m not a child and that’s stupid. (Discussion based courses maybe, but even then, it should be based on participation not attendance)
