No, see, you just start with the Zone of Truth. It’s the warmup.

Geez, I’d take that deal regardless of which lizard. There’s some that’re better than others, but fuck, that’s a dream regardless! :)

Have you really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Just wait, maybe he’s going to follow all of it up with “…but none of that even comes close to being as beautiful as you.”

God, I’ve never wanted to work for Aperture Science more than in this scenario.

Their machine spirits scream in agony each time their aging hands are forced into new positions.

Hot take: I’d much rather have Dwight as a friend than Jim. He’s eccentric and he’s the butt of the jokes, but he’s shown to be an incredibly reliable friend. He’s always there to help any time someone asks, he’s knowledgeable about a lot of practical matters and is happy to share that knowledge, he’s enthusiastic about his interests, and he’s loyal to his friends. Jim might have some of those traits, too, but we don’t really see it - his primary personality trait is just being a charismatic jokester.

Low-wage jobs are just exploiting desperate people. If the cost of living were more reasonable, it wouldn’t be an issue - it doesn’t need to be an ice cream shop paying $40 / hr, it needs to be housing and necessities being cost-limited or subsidized. Subsidies for necessities and increased taxes on luxuries would help.

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica.

A lot of jobs only exist because we need people to be working. There’s no societal need for a door greeter. If your ice cream shop doesn’t generate enough revenue to pay someone working there a living wage, it isn’t a viable business, or your prices are too low.

You mention UBI and really, that’s the answer, but without it, everyone needs to work to survive and when there isn’t enough work that needs doing, we invent bullshit work just to say we’re employing someone.

I thought it worked well before the first Avengers movie… Each hero had their own movie with no real continuity other than the post-credits scene, and then Avengers - and only Avengers - assumed you’d seen the previous ones. The movies were coming out at a reasonable cadence and there was plenty of time to get up to speed. Then they just went off the rails - interconnected continuity even between individual heroes’ movies and a crazy fast release schedule meant you were either a superfan or you were lost.

I ended up just watching them at a rate of 1-2 a week leading up to Endgame to get caught up, but it was just way too much.

• 5 films -> Avengers over a 4 year period was reasonable.
• 12 more films -> Infinity War over a 6 year period was much less reasonable.
• 3 more -> Endgame in 1 year was just silly.

Just went and looked it up, and there were another 16 films leading up to Doomsday over 5 years. They’re just releasing things faster and faster. Who can (or even wants to) keep up with that?

Muchly.

Oh god that would burn so badly.

If there’s work that needs doing, that work should pay a living wage. If it doesn’t, yes, it shouldn’t exist. Raise prices until it can support those workers, and if people won’t buy it at that price, get rid of it. Otherwise, the argument you’re making is that someone needs to do this work, but that person should be destitute.

If someone wants to do something on the side as a hobby, that’s fine, and that’s not what we’re talking about here, obviously.

Yeah, I could honestly watch 3 hours of Rocket just being Rocket and be perfectly happy with the time spent.

Yeah, if OP enjoyed Guardians 1-2, and then skipped 3, they really missed out.

“Please color correct this photo of RFK Jr. to have a similar palette to this cheese.”

Assuming you’re serious, which I’m not entirely sure you are, S being above A originally had Japanese origins where the character it represents means ‘Excellent’, and on English lists it typically means ‘Superlative’ (or any similar word starting with S, like Superb or Super). This is not a new thing.

Regardless, this is an S+ tier ragebait shitpost and clearly it’s having its desired effect.

This is the one that both the profile pic and the banner are from!

They should just buy ad spots explaining Roko’s Basilisk in detail when they IPO. “Unfortunately this is out of our hands, now, but you can still make your support known by buying shares now.”
