1) It is very strange that Tony the multibillionaire didn’t have some sort of Avengers Fund that Happy and Pepper couldn’t work with to prevent the exact situation that Sam finds himself in.

And so it goes for all the good cops.

“Detroit police said Tuesday that “all the indications that we have at this point is that it was not in autopilot mode,” said Deputy Chief David LeValley, “that the driver was in control of the vehicle at the time of the crash.”

What do you mean? African or European blue whale?

For the Nintendo Switch, I’ve had a quick and easy fix for Joy-Con drift. It’s WD-40 electrical contact cleaner (not the regular WD-40, which will damage your controller). Clean the Joy-Con thumb stick ball, and it will reduce the jitter to where drift shouldn’t be happening anymore.

“Genuine antipathy” means nothing. “I didn’t mean it,” and “I wasn’t maliciously being a discriminatory asshole, I just have deep-seated beliefs” are the excuses of bigoted cowards.

Ivanka and Jared are right there.  

“However, I would argue the fallacy is that in 2021 there is some vast group of people within the conservative political movement who would still be openly against LGBTQ equal rights.”

This is the equivalent of a random guy standing out in the public square with a megaphone shouting, “Hey, Melvin Capital and Citron Research are hedge fund morons and placed more bets than there are shares existing on GameStop failing. Let’s…

You’re being sarcastic, but that’s exactly how the US stock market has worked.

I love the idiots feigning mock outrage at the Redditors, “because this somehow hurts the common man”, or because GameStop is a garbage company. Fuck that. This is the story of fucking over the “smartest guys in the room”, the Wall Street hedge fund managers, period.

“Eh, an alternate take is that the stock market is the system we have in place for labour to aquire the means of production. Short of overthrowing capitalism, it’s at least getting easier and cheaper for normal people to access.”

I think what WW84 shows is that it needed some time to bake in the community writers’ roundtable. For editing, for clarity, and for revision. This was like getting an early draft of a story pushed to filming and postediting, before seeing enough talented people with the power to say, “Wait, no. we need to change this…
