lets say there are only 80,000 (the one percent) people living in new york who can afford to pay $6000 (insert actual expensive NY rent here) a month on rent.

those rich people need to come from somewhere, though, so unless the chitauri invasion caused an uptick in skilled workers or wealthy people moving to manhattan, building nice apartments throughout the city is either going to cause people to move from previously wealthy areas to previously poorer areas with more of a…

in fairness, that's not exactly what goes on in the scene. arquette's character sees how good he is at his job [he works out a solution to some piping problem i think] and essentially says "you're really smart, that's worth investing in". its not really condescending at all in isolation - especially when you consider…

i checked in the youtube comments and the consensus seems to be that they accidentally turned on youtube's "stabilization" feature which is a bit of a lol tbh

incorrect: a gorn is an enemy in star trek

the other site reports five: hood, nottingham and hood and robin hood: origins, but also robin hood and the prince of aragon (apparently set in middle earth?) and the hilarious robin hood 2058.

either the 1960's jack kirby - stan lee marvel universe, or the MCU. cool, exciting, sci-fi shit happening every day, plus there's about a one in three chance you'll get superpowers. i wanna hang out with spiderman in the coffee bean, god dammit.

am i correct in thinking that this will be the show's final season?
