#14 But if the music is good and the person likes it, at what point is the music bad?

This is like wine snobs, and when you remove the label they can't tell that cheap wine is bad, and rate 5 buck chuck as top class.

I will agree it's a pizza, but I don't know if you put a whole sliced ham on it, that it would be very good.

So this is like Star Wars Imperial plus SS. Why didn't he bother to put skull and crossbones on it?

I am sad I never got to go to a Richard Garriott Halloween Party.

I've been falling out of love with movies in general for the last few years, but, Project Hail Mary was really rather good.

I don't think that Bowser would be gay. From all the canonical references, I'd assume that he would just rape anything that couldn't fight back, on account of he doesn't seem like he'd be the good guy.

As someone who's been the jury foreman, it's not really that big of a deal. It just means that you're the secretary and you have to keep the conversation on track and follow the instructions you're given.

It also means you probably speak first though and that's enough to make a lot of people decide to choose the same way you do.

But he didn't die.

I remember when you could walk into a taco bell, give the teen behind the counter $10 and say "I want to regret the amount of food you're going to stuff into a couple of burritos" and walk out with like 4 1 lb burritos that fill the bottom of the bag with nacho cheese.

It was messy and eating it was filthy and you were keenly aware you were basically a disgusting subhuman eating pure garbage, but you turn on the outside hose, spray yourself down, and you're good for the night.

In fact, there's a few choice things to say about people who think what you do for work and how much you are paid is representative of you as a person, and none of them are very nice.

I get the outrage, but it's apples to oranges.

It's low value because the requirements are low, the supply is large, and so there's no incentive to pay much or worry about employee retention. It's unskilled work because it doesn't require pre-trained skills.

It's not low value because they're making a moral statement about individuals or unskilled because the person doing the work has no skills. They're talking about the job. Don't conflate work with the worker just so it reads better.

Okay, Hawkeye was a villain in training, but he was quick to switch sides, but they all kinda were.

I'll give you Janet, of course. There are so many temporary members too.

I still stick by saying that at least half of the avengers were bad guys before converting.

Yeah, and last week they dropped 1.2 million voters from the polls. Guess why?

As an American, the end of the current government cannot come soon enough, and I'd cheer if someone made it happen faster.

Are you sure this comes from a 13 year old and not a CEO who tried to do "engineering work" on his laptop during a long flight?

I hope this guy dies sooner rather than later, because he is SUCH a piece of shit.

In other words, don't come into my house and tell me how it is, I was there when it was being written.

I am literally talking about the comic book fictional characters, and I've been reading them since the early 80's. I'm 100% confident in what I wrote.

You want me to find the issue where the nazis are the first to summon Thor into the world? Or the Iron Man Extremis 3.0 story arc in the Superior universe?

Marvel loves making it's characters gritty, it's how they've avoided pulling the full-reboot lever (er.. house of m excluded) with power creep, like DC does.

The only person who's never had ANY villain exposure of any type has been the Black Panther, though others like Hellcat come close (except for her loss of control issues).

In fact, I think a full half of the Avenger roster was introduced AS a supervillain before changing teams.

Vision was created as Ultron's "child" - though he quickly switched sides Swordsman was a villain through and through, and SOME of the Black Knight incarnations, Black Widow - obviously, Beast - occasionally, Captain Marvel was mostly clean - except when she was pushing precog mutant powers and a dept of pre-crime, Namor was introduced as a villain, the list goes on and on and on.

There's been multiple Iron man villain arcs, Ant/Giant man was a straight up wife beater and was kicked out, Hulk has gone evil more than any other of them, Wasp became the Red Queen, Thor and Cap both had the altered reality thing (and also what if style ones, like where Thor takes over the Earth), Hawkeye starts out literally as a criminal mastermind, Quicksilver & Scarlet witch were introduced as part of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants

Actually, I think just about everyone in the avengers had some sort of villain arc, some more than one, and all of them have some horrific personality traits.

I should be consulted as an expert because I could have told you that.

I know it's a satire article, that's swell, but the important thing is, this guy has a really punchable face. I mean, if I encountered him and he was wearing a scarf, indoors, I don't think I'd have a choice.

I remember waking up 30 minutes from the time of my first class, running downstairs, typing out a 5 page paper, copying those 5 pages, changing some of the text in the copy to have spelling mistakes and then hit print so in the time it took my imagewriter II to print those 10 pages, I could shower, brush teeth, get dressed, before grabbing the printout and a package of poptarts and running to school.

I'd use the highlighter to highlight the misspellings so it looked like I proof-read the copy.

Yep. We've got to cull them as well as the politicians.

I love these things, but I also know they start at like $1400 USD. I mean that's really good machining and a fantastic product. I just can't realistically afford it unless it's under the new average price of a PC video game.

Why would they be arrested for that? Was it because they didn't finish them off and dump the bodies?

Not everyone is gonna do a full commit you know, you gotta give some folks leeway.
