To be fair, Peter Parker and his "Parker Luck" means that he also has big anxiety issues, and Spidey Sense probably correlates to it more often that it doesn't.

Words to live by. Because even if they're not 13, they act like they're 13 basically forever. cough Elon Musk cough

This is THE most anti-typical Lois Lane design I've ever seen, and it's honestly amazing. It's like they threw out every visual design element that most Lois Lanes have ever had throughout history and then went, "Hell with it, let's just make something cute, fresh, and hot and then call whatever comes out Lois Lane."

Not shocking. A lot of the people who claim to be the most "patriotic" or "religious" seem to be overcompensating for something else they're hiding. Kind of like the extremely "straight" types with gigantic closets.

It's not unintelligent. People are extremely adept at reading facial expressions and microexpressions. Years of evolution / survival instinct development have made us extremely skillful at knowing a lot about a person based on their face / eyes. Our lives depended on it, you see.

Your survival instincts (which are smart) are telling you she's an untrustworthy, toxic individual that you probably shouldn't keep around in your community, and in this case they're right. Everything else she says and does backs up your instincts too, so this isn't just a one-off thing.

Sounds about right. When I joined the military I met people from Alabama, and even people from other Southern states had nasty things to say about that state. I didn't believe it at first, but then I saw enough over time to realize, "I hate to say it, but maybe they're right. At least about some of the smaller towns and more rural areas."

I met a few nice people from Alabama, yes. I also met... a surprising number of not so nice types. I'm Asian by the way, not White. I'll let people fill in the gaps.

Well he's not wrong. Especially the Red States....

Like others have said, this is kind of a broken clock is right twice a day kind of situation. Similar to when he said that prescription drug prices are too high.

Edit: The irony being that almost every time he had a "broken clock" moment, Biden was the one who acted on and fixed the issue he was right about. Infrastructure, pharmacy prices, even border security. Joe Biden actually did what Trump constantly promised and never delivered on.

This is true, but as long as those capitalists keep doing this, and doing this busts unions and brings in workers who can't vote and can easily be deported for not working hard enough (re: be exploited) it's not insane to oppose immigration to certain sectors of work.

It's similar to opposing outsourcing. It doesn't mean you're racist, it means you know what it'll do to depower labor organization movements. People forget that the reasons Immigrants aren't "taking ur jobs" now is because they already took those jobs in the past, killing many unions along the way.

Many dirty jobs that non-union immigrants are doing now used to be done by unionized white working class types previously. I watched a documentary about meat plant workers on strike for instance (I think that union worked for Hormel) who were striking for healthcare. What happened? They all got fired and replaced by imported Mexican workers.

The Union? Easy to guess what happened.

That would be interesting if true, but I wonder if they'd actually be able to make it good. It's been a long time since they made an RTS, and a lot of their RTS developers have flat out left. They're not the same company they used to be.

I think there might be some hope of it being good though. Lately, Blizzard's been putting out better products. Diablo 4 for instance, and the new, positive changes for World of Warcraft, including the latest patches and Dragonflight. Seem to be making up for the missteps of Diablo 3 and Wow's Shadowlands.

Same strategy as Hitler, staged actors faking an attack as a reason to "counterattack". Not surprising. Russians are the real Nazis.

I don't know, but the LA Sherrif's Department certainly did. Which is why we kicked out Alex Villanueva and replaced him with Robert Luna. That was one satisfying vote, and I'm surprised Luna only won 60 / 40. I expected more like 70 / 30 at least. For a supposed "progressive" and left-leaning guy, Villanueva went full Trump really fast.
