I think one of the biggest problems Marvel’s been having recently is that the proliferation of mystical nonsense (other universes, quantum realms, universe-altering devices) gets in the way of the ability to tell relatable stories with real stakes.

Does anyone actually give a damn about Kang besides Kevin Fiege? They’re going all in on a boring and confusing villain played by a guy who’s about to go on trial for domestic abuse. It’s baffling to me that Marvel is betting the whole franchise on this character. Not even Thanos ever got his name in the title.

I think one of the biggest problems Marvel’s been having recently is that the proliferation of mystical nonsense (other universes, quantum realms, universe-altering devices) gets in the way of the ability to tell relatable stories with real stakes. Loki could easily have been the worst example of that problem — it’s…

The new fangled device called a “freezer”. :)

The Common Sceptic calculated that if those people had bought Tesla stock instead of the car, they would have made around 2.3 and 4.something million dollars in the same time, depending on when they sold.

Maybe that’s a bit over the top? A “serial killer” mentality is a bit unfair; pretty much everyone in motorsport was inurred to accidental death in that period. You probably would not have had motorsports in that era without that callousness.

i think it’s far more disingenuous to refer to Wild n Out as comedy.

I like Maron’s view on these jokes, especially Rife's apology with the special needs helmet - it’s so fucking hack. We’re kind of doing a disservice to the shittiness of the jokes by talking about whether or not they’re “offensive.” They’re just examples of middle of the road hack comedy. That should be the story, and…

Probability that he was on drugs is now dropped to 10%

The Prius one is stupid and wrong. The car is hybrid, yes, but the super aerodynamic design allows it to get highway speeds better than any pure ICE vehicle. It still makes sense even on ilegal speeds.

I actually disagree about the Integra. I have a Civic SI, and my father in law has an Integra. The Acura is just a nicer vehicle, and it’s the only way to get the SI powertrain in a hatchback.

The Prius example should not be here. Why do you disrespect someone in a Prius doing 80 and not just ‘everyone doing 80'. Unless there is some magic where a Prius suddenly becomes less efficient than other cars at high speeds, this makes no sense. If anything, the Prius is the car to buy if you want to travel at high…

Prius counterpoint: I just did a ~3400 mile roadtrip in my 2017. Much of it was done at ~80mph through places like Texas.

Yes, any RAM - but the ass with the “Let’s Go Brandon” sticker leads the pack. How many DUIs have you had, moran?

As if there’s a difference anymore

I’m pretty sure those are synonymous these days.

Wait a second, I thought that capitalism was supposed to make everything work optimally. Was that ... propaganda?

Sen. Bernie Sanders the *unlikely voice of reason* ??!  He’s been the nearest thing to a reasonable voice I’ve heard from the US senate in literally decades.

Mullets have been hip and funky with the Gen Z, and even Gen Alpha at this point, for a few years now. 80's Nostalgia moved into 90's nostalgia which is moving into 00's nostalgia. A whole “trailer park chique” aesthetic popped up; chunky (fake-)dirty sneakers or even slippers, baggy tracksuit stuff and mullets.…

Literally nobody who makes those decisions is reading the comments.
