It was always going to end that way, which is why blaming Biden for withdrawing is just as foolish as the withdrawal. Unless the intention was for the US to come in and completely takeover, turning Afghanistan into a US territory, there was no other possible outcome. That should have been abundantly clear after…

They mention that the $50k is the industry average via Glassdoor, at a national level, not that it’s the salary at Blizzard. Blizzard is *below* that average.

You have to factor for cost of living at the specific place. $50k means one thing in San Fransisco and another thing in Mobile, Alabama. 

I think it’s fair to note that he was never universally respected. His gains in New York had significant prices paid by others, mostly minorities. If 9/11 didn’t save him, he’d never be considered much of anything but a tyrant that “cleaned up New York” at every cost.

Disabling JavaScript just doesn’t seem realistic. I tried it and it broke GMail, Google Docs, the package tracking page for something I bought from Microsoft, and... Gizmodo.  Then I just gave up and turned it back on.

He can even be gay. Plenty of gay folks make stops along the way to figuring out who they are. That’s not erasure, just realism.

I’d love to see Stephanie in the mix supporting this and a willing participant in this process of discovery.

Well cool, thanks for squashing the image Kinja.

I think the key to the Harley Quinn series is that they treat their main characters as generally smart people with twisted sensibilities. There was one scene with Harley, Ivy, Dr. Psycho, Clayface and King Shark together, and someone points out that among them they have three PhD’s.

I don’t think there’s a single DC property that’s better in live action than in animation. The HQ series is better than anything live action she’s been in by leaps and bounds. I’m rewatching Justice League/JLU and those seasons are better than any live action movie DC has ever done.

BLURST. Also I love King Shark in the animated series.

*mentally adds Gigabyte to my “never again” list.

There’s no way the AV Club commentariat don’t know Trudy Judy when they see her.

You should; they’re awesome.

Best talk show around.

Yes.

Probably? No worries if you don’t, but they’re not super obscure, and the site’s tagline is “pop culture obsessives writing for the pop culture obsessed.”

Your life will be enriched if you do.

The Maori people managed ok for thousands of years

Just wait till those compound guards realise that they aren’t going to get paid because money isn’t worth anything anymore and they don’t need some skinny nerd weirdo ordering them around. 

I guess it’s cheaper and easier for the ultrarich to just prepare for the apocalypse in NZ rather than use their fortunes and their companies’ influence to try to help the rest of us avoid it.
