This is SOP for Verizon FIOS routers - they’re all designed to work with MOCA directly. In this way the STB’s can talk directly to the router and each other.

Man, glitter eyesockets and string lights? what Level of Lazer Lotus is this?

For the games, definitely. For 9/X and *especially* 11, the Story Mode was the #1, #2, and so forth selling point. A whole lot of story and not a whole lot of gameplay in the MK11 launch trailer!

To be fair, Lewis Tan is half Chinese. But I have no idea why he couldn’t have played a half-Chinese Johnny Cage. Hell, I was expecting the eye-rollingly blandly named Cole Young to be revealed as Johnny Cage at some point in the movie.

If, for whatever reason, the Shaolin monk Liu Kang can’t be the main character in…

Those were $500 sunglasses, asshole.

I’m fascinated by the thought process that led to “No one could possibly be interested in any of the actual characters from the game; we’d better throw in some generic white guy as the main character.” Plus, if you’re determined to do that for some reason, Curtis Stryker is right there.

MK (reboot), MKX, and MKXI all had an excellent plot.

“The Falcon And The Winter Soldier stumbled under the weight of Captain America’s legacy” is also a weird story to write the day before the final episode. I mean, maybe give it a day before looking back on what the series did or didn’t accomplish?

The show’s argument, on the other hand, is that John didn’t really become a bad Captain America until he killed a man with the shield in broad daylight.

Stanley Tucci’s Dr. Erskine is curious why a shrimpy little kid is so desperate to join the war effort, and he tests Steve by asking if he’s just really eager to kill Nazis. Steve says no, he doesn’t want to hurt anybody. “I just don’t like bullies,” he says. “I don’t care where they’re from.”

I think they did stop to consider that Steve was wrong. Bucky apologized to Sam because neither he nor Steve understood how much harder it was for a Black man to wield the shield and be accepted as Captain America. It was one of my favorite scenes of the entire series.

Nah, I think it’s fine on anyone comfortable with their body. 

The ship has been interned by a belligerent foreign power. Based on my understanding of The Sea, the honorable thing would be for the crew to scuttle the Ever Given rather than let it fall into enemy hands.

I was ready to fight at the title. I read somewhere that cutting someone’s hair without their permission is battery; I don’t know if it’s true but if it is, I would be looking to press charges.

AoS had multiple tie-ins with the movies until it spun off into its own thing. It also featured two WOC as starring characters with complex character arcs long before Black Panther or Captain Marvel, and continued to cast diverse heroic characters as the show continued.

Agents of Shield had a majority-female lead cast and two of its leads were Asian women, both of whom survived to the end of the show. 

The brutally assaulted is especially out of left field. Jessica Jones is a rape survivor’s tale - two survivors, really, when you learn what Trish had to do to be a child star - but those are white women. 

Are they demanding it from you (aka the family), or her estate? If you, you can tell them to piss up a rope. This is a debt they accrued with the estate, and it will have to wait until such a time as the estate can be settled due to banking issues. This is a debt her estate owes, and those are not transferable to…

Yup. There was a similar story but opposite that was on a G/O site recently. Someone overpaid their mortgage payment by a very large margin and the bank fought for literal years to give the overage money back. Fuck banks.

So funny story, my mother died this past December. She was getting a pension from the NYC Teacher’s Retirement Service. They would direct deposit into her Chase Bank account. My brother had financial power of attorney to pay her bills. The TRS was notified that she had passed. They sent another check anyway, by…
