1st: You’re reading too much into revenue and not looking at profit. While the revenue (quarter to 1 year ago quarter compared) climbed ~49% (~$2.6B), gross profits only climbed ~8.4% (~$65.MM to $815MM), that reflects a minor increase in gross profits per unit. On a net earning basis, they’re down ~3.9% (-$11M to

Maybe we could give referring to anything related to time travel as “timey-wimey” a little rest for just a year or so?

I’m just guessing but this article doesn’t seem to be about the Tennessee Valley Authority.

“The fact that they’re also mostly just a bunch of pencil pushers.”

Well played. Well played.

Ford The Integrated Tether System, so they can license it to other companies

Missed opportunity for the Ford Active Replaceable Tether System.

This is great info for all those people who own cars for 90 days at a time which is (checks notes) absolutely fucking nobody.

So... Mephisto confirmed?

Yeah, I’m gay and see absolutely no sexual chemistry between Sam and Bucky. Physical proximity doesn’t automatically equal sexual context. I took the therapy session closeness to be more of a “hey, don’t knee me in the balls” moment. 

I think the rolling in the field was done knowingly, but by itself, shouldn’t be read as anything more than having a bit of meta (yuck) fun with the idea.

Seriously, its getting annoying to be honest. Two men, who are just friends, platatonically enjoying their company isn’t queer-baiting its friendship. Something just as important to men as it is to women.

Do people realize how harmful it is to read sex into every friendly relationship? Fanfic is mostly fun and innocent but stuff like this that attempts to read this into everything as if it’s important is really bad. It’s really, really important to have queer characters! It’s ALSO really, really important to have

This, it gets tiring that two male characters cant be close without everyone saying they need to be in a relationship.  It gets old.

I would certainly buy Bucky as gay or bisexual man if they choose to go that way. But the scenes referenced in this article for he and Sam were not even close to queerbaiting as I read it.

As much as I enjoy this site, they are amongst the worst offenders when it comes to that.

1000% agree. Dudes can be very close friends, without there being a sexual elements to it. That needs to be normalized. Instead we constantly get articles like, pining for “shipping” them.

Literally any piece of art showing male friendship:

Yeah I’m in the same book. I’d love for us to reach a point where male characters being close and intimate to each other wouldn’t be divided solely into either ‘queer’ or ‘queer-baiting’ because that’s still playing into societal toxic masculinity that straight men couldn’t possibly be close and intimate with their

Man, this is a weird article. While I certainly never thought of Bucky and Steve together and the only dates or romantic interests we’ve ever seen him have were women, I would certainly buy Bucky as gay or bisexual man if they choose to go that way. But the scenes referenced in this article for he and Sam were not
