Oh, not defending. I just thought it was a point worth making. I find myself saying it still and I've been out for three years. I was gonna write more on this but I found myself repeatedly falling into it again, so I just decided to quit while I was ahead.

Counterpoint: That is common in the military.

I see your horrible 90s Dr. Fate, and raise you Horrible 90s Thor:

What part of "haven't ever" don't you understand?

I don't think it was cruel. She was terminally ill. She had been her entire life. I knew she was taking a downturn, and she was on the way to a doctor basically to find out how long she had. She was so vivacious and full of life when she wasn't depressed or too weary to move. As the weariness took over, as she had to…

My girlfriend was suicidal last spring. She was in the middle of a bad, slow, long breakup, and she had cystic fibrosis too. I was so scared for her I drove across town in a snow storm to stand outside her door in the cold until she let me in.

I'm..not really upset. I just wanted to share. Given how often I talk about my late girlfriend (a former poster here), I realized I haven't actually ever shared any pictures of her, and this seemed like a good excuse.

Granted these aren't the most flattering pictures of her, but here is my skinny girlfriend eating things! Go ahead, make fun of her, say she's gonna throw it up later. You'd be wrong. She's gonna poop it out. Cystic Fibrosis means that she wouldn't digest stuff like that and struggled to maintain weight.

I dabble in Chinese astrology. Its different from Western, in that it's really precise and mathematical (also has nothing to do with stars). You can get some pretty accurate results with minimal interpretation just using a computer program. It's also very gendered: which direction you go with it is highly dependent on…

...Asheville, it's in the post. :P

Honestly? I'm beyond that. I think I've moved into acceptance. It's a fact of life that she is gone. She had cystic fibrosis and was on the way to the doctor to basically find out how much time she had left, when she was in a car accident. I miss her dearly, but she is gone and I am moving forward. I will never forget…

Okay, guys, I have to check this out because:

How you doin'?

I wish I had a gif of this. It's my favorite underused reaction image. His face says so much. Both "I can't believe that just happened," and "Why does this shit keep happening?"

In case anyone is curious, I copy-pasted the article's text into a gdoc, so you can hate-read without adding to page views.

I see the disconnect then. I actually started comics with Infinite Crisis. Everything I've read was stuff that led up to it or stuff that followed from it. I'm not by far the only person who did so. But because it's when I got into them, anything that flows from it tonally is something I like and is familiar. This…

To be fair, he thought that Lois was Doomsday at the time. And that was the whole idea: Joker tried his "one bad day" on Superman, but this was a Superman who never fought Lex Luthor, so he was in some ways psychologically weaker.

I thought it was like why buses rarely have seatbelts, in that you're more likely to get injured slamming your head against whatever's directly in front of you if your hips are stuck to the seat, than you are actively bouncing around on the inside because the bus has more space than a car and you're not gonna get…
