Just about nothing but another speedster is. The dude can think and move faster that the speed of light, he spent an entire episode in the split second it took for a nuke to go off. The fact that he's constantly getting his ass kicked is a flaw of the character more than the writing IMO (though don't get me wrong, the writing was also bad).

I loved in the first season and then again whenever Zoom happened where you'd get him saying at the end of the intro "My name is Barry Allen, and I'm the fastest man alive", immediately followed up with "Previously on The Flash: (highlight of him being outrun and beaten up by another guy)"

That's the best part of the whole series IMO. I loved cell as a villain.

Letters, maybe. Words? That's debatable.

I suppose it does make it more difficult, but very few things are as black and white as "people only care because they want to play porn games". There's usually some nuance in there.

And who knows, this whole situation happened because a tiny group pressured companies into acting a certain way. So it's not like putting pressure on them has no effect. May as well try.

Right. Most of us don't care about the porn, which is why we're not arguing for it. Most of us just don't like credit card companies being allowed to dictate what we do and don't buy.

Plus, I'm guessing anybody with an incest fetish probably understands that isn't something to go shouting to the world if they want their position to be taken seriously.

Are they a public figure that half the country hates? That probably makes unverifiable testimony a bit less impressive from an evidence standpoint.

(though just to be clear I'm far more inclined to believe them over trump, not trying to defend the dickhead)

This is the type of thought you're supposed to keep to yourself.

I think they read it as:

"Guess what, it is not processed locally anymore."

I think it was meant to be read as:

"Guess what is not processed locally anymore?"

I can understand making the mistake when they used a period instead of a question mark.

What a weird thing to take issue with. Even if you were right, at worst they would've made a single typo by missing one space or hyphen. The horror!

But you're not even right. Monthslong is an actual word.

I mean hey, at least they glanced at a thesaurus this time instead of sticking with the old tried and true "SLAMS" or "BLASTS" .

It's for this very reason that I've always thought it would be easier to just give sports to the conservatives and then try to take that ground back at some point where trans people are more accepted. Don't let a perfect outcome get in the way of good and all that. But I'm neither trans nor interested in sports, so I realize my opinion here holds little weight and I haven't thought very deeply about it.

Are you sure? Do you have a source for that claim?
