If it was fuelled by burning other wealth hoarders, I may agree with it.

It could actually hurt. I love the Snyder Cut, but the rallying to get it out created a cult-like group that hates on anything DC not made by Snyder.

On top of that, most people don’t even know which heroes are Marvel and which are DC. Having more than 1 DC universe releasing at a time will be confusing to people, and should only be done if that universe is really really successful (Joker, The Batman).

Fascinating read. They gave one player (after a coin toss) way more advantages in the game. In the end, they inevitably won, and no advantaged person talked about the coin flip being the reason. Instead, they attributed their perceived skill.

Against the rules? It’s the whole point of the game.

Unless you are asking for the address or business hours, you need to talk to a real person. Just let me get to that part faster and I’ll be less annoyed when I get there.

To quote Rob McElhenney on getting fit:

"I’m gonna break it down for you, because it’s actually quite simple, and anybody can do this. Anybody on the planet can do this. First thing’s first: if you have job—like a 9-5 job—quit that. Do you like food? Forget about that. Because you’re never going to enjoy anything you eat. Alcohol? Sorry. That’s out. So what you need to do—you have a chef, right? like a personal chef?—make sure the chef makes you a lot of chicken breast. And make sure you keep your caloric intake at a certain level. And as you go to your physician 2-3 times a week—just to monitor all your testosterone levels—because testosterone is important to building muscle. You’re good friends with the trainer from Magic Mike? So you want to give Arin a call. And you want to make sure he’s at your house and takes you to the gym at least twice a day, because you’re gonna want to do your muscle-building in the morning and then your cardio in the afternoon. Now, do you have a family? Like a significant other or kids? Yeah, forget about them. You’re not going to have time to deal with them. So that’s really all you have to do. And make sure you have a studio pay for the entire thing, because it could become exceptionally expensive. So, I think if you just do all those things, then you too can have an absolutely unrealistic body type, such as me.”

Fair enough, but it’s also important to note that 15-30% of gym goers are using them. If you don’t look like the top guy at the gym, there might be a reason, and you might be among the fittest clean gainers there.

That super ripped dude at the gym is on steroids too, so it’s unfair to compare oneself to him.

There’s something you didn’t account for… levels.
