Ive tried to read stuff Thomas posts (he rarely asks questions at orals, apparently, so gotta take what I can get), and its not word salad, its just when I am done, I cannot for the life of me restate how he got from A to B. I should be able to do so, assuming I am rational and literate (generally yes) and his writing…

Ladies and gentlemen, look up ‘justice’ in our dictionary - you see, you cant find it because it is not rele... wait, never mind... THIS IS ABOUT WORDS, NOT JUSTICE DARN IT!

In all seriousness, I thought Gorsuch was qualified but flawed. His argument makes complete sense to not-a-lawyer me, and is also ‘the right thing to do’.

Are you suggesting that our understanding of the nuances of human biology, psychology and social structure change over time?

The problem is, Boomers trust everything, and the ‘youts’ trust nothing. There is a lotnof good sources of good information and insight out there, all it takes is some time and critical thinking skills to find, but enough people wont exert even a modicum of effort to think and research. And here we are.

And the catch is, sexual assault is so hard to prove in the legal sense, especially after a long period of time.

Exactly! Sure, the CGI looks bad color and detail-wise, but the mocap was solid, and Hulk throwing the damn tanks was great.

I liked Thor, but I also liked Ang Lees’ ‘Hulk’ so what do I know?

Cup smashing Thor. Setup Thor being an angry bitch and then getting slapped into next week and down to Earth sans penis by Odin.

I really, really like Thor.

I am not a comics reader at all, so I cant speak to whether publishers do what he describes, but I agree with the sentiment - and I suspect Mr. Ennis has done a ton more homework than I have.

Four years in almost, and yet we still treat what they say as with the same weight as we treated earlier, competent administrations.

Never owned one, but was considering getting one in the very near future because they have gotten great reviews and I have kids who have gear and friends to haul around.

I am sorry for your (rapidly impending) loss. I hope you and your family can find some kind of comfort.

This post is a thing of beauty.

It would take a lot of people standing up and demanding such a change, and we cant even get ‘cops shouldnt kill people arbitrarily’ right, so we have some ground to cover before we get to commercial code overhaul.

Starred for bringing my commercial law classes back - IANAL, but had to take the classes for my major. Everyone should, if only for the FYI factor.

That is an amazingly good law and enforcement mechanism.

It had honestly never occurred to me that the conventions of a heroes universe were subject to rules over the kinds of situations they could be placed in. I find that kind of a cheat, because even by the terms of a superpowered universe, it is unrealistic.

Oh, I love the joke - it was the zoom in to make sure no one missed what was already obvious that I found heavy handed and detracted from the impact of the moment, diluting the humor.
