Hell, he wears a mask, so no one will care that he’s already been in the MCU - cast Mads Mikkelsen as Doom.

Sounds like your NPD talking.  Hope you get the help you need, friend.

“Reuters reports that the number of EVs sold in January was actually lower than in December 2023.”

Isn’t lower sales in January than in December the norm?

It’s more the stuff that you completely made up with that brain that’s the issue here.

Ooh, he did correctly yell “Shots fired!” and “I’m hit!” but forgot the necessary third element of covering your bullshit nonsense on bodycams: “He’s coming right for me!!” 

Or just in the neighborhood generally.

You can’t really make up a diagnosis and then pat yourself on the back for being properly sympathetic.  Or, I guess, you can, but people are going to note how strange that is.

Fortunately, Malcolm Peter Brian Telescope Adrian Blackpool Rock Stoatgobbler John Raw Vegetable Brrroooo Norman Michael (rings bell) (blows whistle) Edward (sounds car horn) (does train impersonation) (sounds buzzer) Thomas Moo...

When we had our second kid we traded in our Accord for a minivan, and the footprint in the garage was maybe a couple of inches longer at most. There’s no way they take up meaningfully more space than most of the alternatives that people look at.

Actually, if you worked with him, this is a great opportunity to prove or disprove the OP’s angry thesis.  Do you hate Wil Wheaton?

You type really well for a preschooler!

Yeah, isn’t a “game that gets occasional updates and patches” a... “game”?

I don’t really think it implies 1:1 - what it does imply is that a movie, which is shorter, is in more cases going to have to cut more from the book than a show would, whatever the ratio, and therefore is more likely to suffer for it. Which is the unstated (and obvious, I think) answer to the silly thesis of this…

I think it’s apparent in the remainder of the conversation that this is understood by all, but I suppose in case that wasn’t apparent, agreed. The underlying context is the article’s overall question of why we (they) keep turning books that failed as movies into TV shows, and my counter is that the medium of TV is…
