Eh, my folks are pretty liberal and I still turned out even moreso than them. It can be done. Tho we were in a right wing area for my entire childhood due to moving when I was 2. Very surprising to see my parents’ totally equal marriage so heavily contrasted all around us.

As someone working on a thesis right no who had to take a course in data collection ethics, the two most stringently protected groups are minors and prisoners because both groups do not have their full rights and are more vulnerable to abuse. There are a LOT more steps involved for both.

They’re kind of creepy, yeah. And I say that as someone who uses XD, :0, and ;) a lot in fanfic comments. Or Apple’s new “stickers” thing which is just more complicated emojis.

Are they the same guys who made the stupid emojis on the bottles commercials? Cause those were dumb too...like, “I want to walk out of this movie theater to stop seeing these stupid clips” dumb.

Pepsi needs to fire their admakers. Like, seriously, they’ve been dumb for years. This, the stupid ads about them having emojis on their bottles that feel like they’re trying to go subliminal with where full ad being a compilation of super short ads, the weird ad where a bunch of hipsters paint the side of a building…

Why do you think some people keep pushing the idea Chelsea might run? I swear some of these people would drop dead without the ability to hate the Clintons.

There’s a cover coming up that shows Magneto in Hydra. MAGNETO. Naturally a lot of people are annnoyed all over again.

As the other reply says, there’s a double standard. In most places in the USA a man just needs to be of 18 and sound mind. Most doctors will refuse a woman unless she’s had 3 kids already. No matter how much you say you don’t want more kids or don’t ever want kids, nope, you may change your mind, or even a future…

Huh. My dad actually got a vasectomy since it was cheaper and easier than tying mom’s tubes (I was the only pregnancy that didn’t miscarry and they got sick of that happening but doctors were like “but you only have one kid!” and they were like “not for lack of trying but seriously, we’re done” but it was taking…

Yep. I was excited for A-Force too until people said it tied into something else form issue one. NOPE. Got too much else to do.

Also as some people have noted, okay, maybe girls don’t buy as many action figures as boys, but we buy a shit ton of other crappy merch. T-shirts, posters, cheap character-themed jewelery and accessories, it CAN be done. Hot Topic’s current lineup is proof of that. You can make just as much mone off the women in…

But tons of comic books. Donate them to kids who can’t afford them. Give libraries tons of books. Buy a crap ton of paper and basic supplies and donate it to a school district.

My god I would be writing even more fanfics than I do now, donating to tons of zoos, and would have a huge yard for my dog to fetch in.

Steve Bannon’s consulting firm was valued at between $5 million and $25 million

I think it’s a sticky situation that mostly came up because the parents wanted to claim they should not face the blame of rsomething one of their kids did while simultaneously refusing to admit which kid did it. I mean, if it’s your kid doing it on a device you provided for them I think it’s at least somewhat on you.…

This one’s a big issue. Like, unless you are the company advertising the comic by posting the first couple pages, the only reason you should post a full page is if you’re doing a review and critiquing page layout. And people seem to think they’re doing the books a FAVOR and it’s like...you want to encourage people to…

I do feel for the shorter books it hurts them. Part of the joy with the monthlies is the month to month speculation on what will happen next, but if you’re not super invested then yes it’s better to wait for the trade. Like for this season of Buffy that’s what I’m doing, I’m not as invested in the storyline so I’m…

Yep. A lot of indies are cheaper and those that are the same price feel like they have abetter pagecount. I’ve been a little lighter on funds lately so I’m mostly sticking to Wicked+Divine and Gang of Harleys and am jsut going to buy the trades for Buffy. But the prices going up is hurting them.

Oh god I forgot Civil War 2. Wtf on that. Just...crazy.
