I think it works - Peter is still in the process of learning when to shut up and listen vs. when to break the rules and tear shit up. Having those object lessons brought home (Oh, crap, I really fucked this up!) in a way that doesn’t reveal his identity to the world (or the police) is much easier to do believably with…

Baby Groot.

Well said. A little bit of foreshadowing to the subtext of Tony Stark and Peter Parker’s relationship there, too, methinks. That’s something I hope gets expanded on at some point (even if I can’t imagine that shoehorning Iron Man into a European study abroad trip would work that great in the very next outing). Marvel…

This. Honestly, given how stilted some of Strange’s dialog is in the comics, I’ve always heard him in my head with either an English accent or at minimum Mid-Atlantic (think George Plimpton or Cary Grant). I can hear all of Ireland trying to punch its way out of Cumberbatch’s mouth whenever he uses a word with an R in…

I’m assuming you mean the driver side, as the U.K. mostly has right-hand drive vehicles. That was the other guy’s concern, though. The break still just looks wrong to me, unless I have a very unrealistic sense of the strength of a brick wall. Wouldn’t mind seeing the other side of the car (not to mention the inside of…

At least in eastern Mass the main grocery competitor (Shaws/Star Market) is also a UFCW shop. Local competing grocery chains Roche Brothers and Market Basket are not unionized (and of course there’s Target and Walmart, which infamously aren’t either, but have much less fresh produce and I think typically aren’t…

I mean, if you have an accident there are a number of options for cleaning up. Depending how bad you soiled yourself and how quick you get it cleaned up, it’s possible your buyer/dealer won’t even notice!

The photo credit seems to indicate it’s a real accident, but goddamn that is some cheeeeeeeeap masonry work if so. Goddamn. The hole your car makes when it goes through a brick wall should not be that perfectly car-shaped.  The Oxfordshire County Council got taken for a ride on the construction.

Why are we the first ones to be bothered by it?

Still stinging over Sharky Laguana’s bullshit win over Deicide Huxtable. Even accepting the terrible way these names were bracketed, this should have been the round to decide which heretical blasphemer got the right to desecrate Alpha Omega Nickleberry III. I would have then accepted the outcome of this round whatever…

The comic isn’t Alan Moore’s Miracleman or whatever, though, as it’s actually some kind of glimpse into terrifying conspiracy theories that may actually be real

I’ve always been a fan of the Hindu god Ganesh.

Short of being a rock star, I just don’t know that any experience compares with being a pro athlete winning something in front of a raucous, drunken, adrenalized crowd.

I had heard it wasn’t great, but watched the pilot on a whim when I first decided “Hmm, I really liked the GotG movies and Black Panther... maybe I should see what the hell all this damn fuss is about and watch literally all of the rest of these movies.” Enjoyed it and kept watching.

Replace “mushrooms” with “American ‘cheese’” and this is my exact take.  If I’m ever in western Canada I’ll check that thing out.

Starred for the correct cheese (and basically everything else too) take. Sneaky-good alternative to those cheeses is a nice thick slab of pepper jack.

I maybe could have gotten my best burger out of this depending on where I picked.  Mayo, mustard, pepper jack cheese, pickles, onion (either grilled [don’t need ‘em caramelized, just straight up sauteed, though they’re even better cooked in a hole pan on the BBQ grill] or thin-sliced raw red onion).

I had to dock Kevin for American cheese, because putting American cheese on a burger is like dipping your wings in ranch dressing - sure, tons of people do it, but it’s objectively the wrong decision and there are multiple better options at a similar price point and there’s just no excuse for it - and Gwen for…

Welp, now I’ve got drool on my shirt.  Sounds like it could use just a touch of acid - a squeeze of lemon, or a squirt of sriracha or something - but goddamn that sounds fantastic.
