That’s what lead to them justifying 1/6.

It’d only work if they didn’t dump them in the woods somewhere and instead brought them home. But, if they did get dumped at least you might be able to recover them.
Work.
But also rules that police do not have to serve and protect.
I re-listened to Critical Role Campaign 1, Vox Machina, this year. It was pretty neat, I had caught up with Campaign 3, Hells’ Bells, and needed to give myself enough time to get behind and binge, so I think I did the entire VM story in… idk, 2-3 months? Maybe 4? Just on commutes and work outs.
I’m caught back up with HB, now, though… but, I’m also turning on Late Night comedians on my commutes, to mix it up a little.
I mean, they really jumped the shark when they proved that the stargates kept copies of you in their cache, that they accessed that one time to bring back someone who didn’t make it through the wormhole before it accidentally shut down mid flight. with that being the case, 1… the data already arrived so why didn’t he come out before it shut down… and 2, free cloning technology that we completely ignored the significance of.
But, hey, they did dumb stuff like that all the time.
Did you notice that they go plainly out into these new worlds with no care for germs, what’s so ever? Like, holy fuck. At least the Prometheus movies ‘kind of’ made a point about it in the second one with the mushroom cloud in the beginning.
Didn’t they move* the snakes to the abdomen in the show?
That’s the fucking problem with the Superman archetype. “How do you do it well?”
I think they really did The Hulk dirty running up to the end of the last chapter, really. They should have pit him against enemies that required his specific power level, and forced him to become more fully one with his rage, learning that his rage and strength were absolutely connected and how angry he got could elevate his power. Instead? They neutered him twice and chucked him out a window.
He should have been more able to stand up to Thanos, even with the power stone, and instead been cast out of his Hulk body in that fight, somehow, which would have been a better source of his PTSD than ‘being weaker’ by default. If Thanos didn’t have the mind stone by that point, reorganize everything to be when he did have it, and somehow use that stone to separate Bruce from the hulk, and revert him to Bruce before tossing him aside like a sack of potatoes. Hell, the reality stone would have worked in a similar fashion, just spaghettifi him, until Thanos leaves and that’s PTSD enough for someone as powerful as the Hulk and also a scientist who just saw himself turn to spaghetti. The Hulk is just like Superman, right? Brute strength? And we’ve already acknowledged that spiritual abilities can neuter the hulk, right? (Separating his spirit from his body). Then magic… could have easily neutered him and MADE SENSE!! (Especially since Superman doesn’t have any resistance to magic, same thing.) Instead of brute strength, when even Ironman and CPT America tanked at least 1 hit from the guy.
They then did the same with CPT Marvel by writing her off as ‘being away’ and ‘uninformed about a true galactic threat’ when that’s her whole fucking shtick, the whole reason she was away and missed it. Not to mention the Eternals!!! Wtf… we could have had significantly better writing devoted to where they were and why they weren’t there. Hell, drop Easter eggs during the other chapters about the heroes you are going to bring in in the future.
The writing got ridiculously poor near the end of the Thanos saga/chapter.
Bulk rate and shipping costs, though?
You don’t lie, trying to clear every question mark is what killed it for me back when. I think I stopped on the islands somewhere. And every time I pick it back up, the question marks kill it for me again. 😂
Good thing I had those six late term abortions while the fun lasted.
Edit: I got one post birth abortion in, just to make sure.
Head to Kroger, end up in a ‘Indian’ grocery store instead, scream at the attendees that they don’t have the real ‘chai’, from Teavana, then tell them to go back to their country.
(Ninja edit: …before heading over to Starbucks to pickup the holiday version of their ‘Chai’ Tea Latte, the one that comes with pumpkin spice added.)
I think Stargate Universe might be something you’re looking for. If you don’t know anything about the movie or shows, they’re space exploration like startrek but with wormhole technology/portals on planets, left by an ancient and gone more advanced race. So, science and military guys going to other planets daily on exploration missions, without suits and ignoring that everything would get you infected or you might portal into a dead world without oxygen.
Anyway, the Stargate Universe show is where they portal into a derelict ancient ship, massive and highly advanced, but it’s running out of all resources, it’s not in their control and is fully automated, and they’re running out of time to find resources to keep the lights, air, and AC on, while also finding food. They’re also separated from earth and pretty much stuck on this ship or new planets that are also separated from earth. (They’re on the other side of the known universe and can’t get back.)
It was canceled early, after season 2, but was still very good within its niche.
But, I want my Charmin Extra Soft toilet paper! Don’t you remember the bad days during the pandemic! Where Osama Kamala Biden didn’t protect us from price gouging and store runs!!

In the same vein as your response, I’ve heard people say that they start dreaming in the other language, too, and understanding it. Being a monolinguist myself, I can’t speak with any authority, but my understanding is when you stop thinking about what you say and you’re just saying it, combined with the dreaming in it, is a good identifier.
People who say that they speak whatever random number of languages but it’s only memorized sayings…? Yeah, that’s not* the same thing, you guys.
Edit: I’m married to a Puerto Rican who works in interpretation and translation, just for my credentials here. In one of our last minor tiffs she did mention something about me not learning Spanish and how she felt some kind of way about it… but, hey. Languages are difficult, and there are plenty of relationships where a partner didn’t learn the language and it’s not a big deal. I’m busy and stressed out with work.
No, but that same dude launched chicken tenders at a crowd over the weekend.
I had a young coworker who reported to me and a few others, for a few months earlier this year. She would come in and say ‘that being said,…’ all the fucking time. I heard it at least once or twice per brief conversation with her. I think she was just trying to sound smart… but, it was like nails on a chalk board to me.
