I believe it was Ike Perlmutter who mandated that there not be black or female superhero leads. He was pushed out in 2015 and Feige became unilateral head of the MCU at that point.

It actively didn’t make sense to me that the MCU waited 11 years to release a female helmed movie.

What do they want here? The company to not be allowed to say anything and let them do all the persuading?

I think it’s ok to yeet a rabid animal if that’s the most lethal and straightforward method you have of dealing with the thing. 

“However, the fact that they always showed the game on PC and never showed it on the base, last-gen consoles should have raised a giant red flag to anyone with common sense.”

The fact that CDPR lied — full stop — to their investors is why I don’t consider this marketing.

It seems like the plane-cancellation thing is pretty minimal. Supposedly it only affects 4-5 routes, which can’t be carrying *that* much traffic. I’m all for cleaning up around the margins, but this doesn’t seem like it will help that much.

I mean, that practically brought a tear to my eye. I read an article last week by an author asking Gen Z, Millennials, and Boomers — the three generations — to work together and try to understand each other.

You skipped an important sentence. Allow me to reword myself to put the important part first.

Musk is building a brand new type of transportation.

Just ban everything except bolt action/pump long guns, and single action revolvers.

You said “I will never go to a movie theater, Broadway show or indoor concert again (not unless there is a vaccination requirement).”

it simply is not possible to make a gaming rig of the same specs as an xbox series x that fits in the series x case.

I will never eat or drink in an enclosed bar or restaurant again. I will never go to a movie theater, Broadway show or indoor concert again (not unless there is a vaccination requirement). And while I plan to fly again, it will probably be to Puerto Rico in 2022, where all meals and activities are outdoors or on a…

I really enjoyed Avengers as a single-player game. Just not as a multiplayer one. 

“Next, the study compared these companies’ specific greenhouse has emissions footprints to that of their headquartered countries to see how they lined up with individual countries’ commitments to the Paris Agreement. The findings show that many of these companies’ emissions are so large that incorporating their…

I am fine with most of the redesigns, but not that Pictures icon. Wow.

They scorched the sky with nuclear weapons. Pretty sure nobody is recommending we nuke the biosphere. 

I wrote Terry Brooks as a teenager. I still have the handwritten letter he sent back. Very nice guy.
