In those days soldiers usually paid for their own equipment, so you had what you could afford. A king or other important person might pay for their bodyguards’ stuff, but armies were self-funded.

I’m extremely jealous of this job.

The Mycenaeans were very advanced in their day in many, many ways.

One of the many highlights: the hotel rooms, for a thousands of dollars per day experience, did not provide fully-paid Disney+ access.

Humanity has well and truly entered the “find out” stage of our self-inflicted climate change apocalypse.

And boy it sure does suck when the global warming that was only supposed to affect those godless heathens living out on the east and west coasts finally comes a’ knockin’ on the Midwest, Oklahoma, Mississippi, and…

Shapeshifters kind of throw the labels we slap on relationships right out the window.

Don’t think so, Beau has deep love for the X-men. Don’t see him doing anything that would distract from it’s success. Since the response has been so positive, who’s to say that Disney won’t bring him back like they did with James Gunn.

It’s almost as though it’s a question with no finite and concrete answer, not to mention it’s the…

Maguire. Garfield. Holland [...] the short, prestigious list of live-action Spider-Men.

You don’t understand, he’s the perfect choice because he had a TV show that ended before most of these students were even born.

Right because otherwise all graduation events are 100% legally binding and if you miss them you have to do college again.

He is the undrilled bowling ball of comedians.

And it’s not like his comedy was ever “edgy.”

All protest is, in some sense, a performance. What a weird and unnecessary observation.

All of this aside, celebrated assholes shouldn’t be giving commencement speeches - this includes 38-year-olds who ‘dated’ 17-year-olds.
