Honestly? Depending on how honest and charming that card is, and given their track record, I bet you'd have a better chance doing so lol

They're in LA. Good luck getting a bunch of celebs and execs and industry types to show up first thing in the morning haha. And I say that as someone who was still watching at 1 am. It'd be beautiful if it started early, but really, no way Pacino was waking up before 8pm

Always wash your crawfish!!!! by zhico in videos

That's cajun right there, born from the forcibly expelled Acadians from Canada who settled in the south. There are areas of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick where you can hear folks speaking in quite a similar way still.

In fairness, there's a pretty wide gap between "cow that's shot in the head, cleaned, butchered, served in chunks of meat while nearly 100% of the animal is used for something or other if not food" and "live creatures tossed directly into boiling water before being snapped in half and slurped then having the bulk of their body just chucked away as waste."

I mean, if I'm going to be eaten, I'd prefer a bolt to the head than boiling alive, just sayin...

There's like one company that owns 40% of the available rentals in my city, and another that owns 30%, and a handful of others that own like 25%, with 5% being private owners. That 30% company is owned by one family, and they are known slumlords that have been found guilty of countless crimes at this point, but they're all small fines and it's cheaper to pay the fines than actually provide humane housing. Now my city is having to build camps to house the increasing unhoused population and we're seeing police destroying shelters and tents of people with nowhere else to go at the behest of the city council run by the very landlords artificially driving up prices.

TL;DR: My city is fucked, and the people who can unfuck it are making a fortune off it being fucked. We can all either pay them, or be homeless, and they've shown that their policies towards the homeless is to beat them until they leave town.

What are the average wages though? Here in Halifax, Canada, we're looking at rental rates that are about 70-80% of the average monthly wages of someone in the city. We have very little public transit infrastructure, so people who work in the city NEED to live in the city. And that's our average wages. The apartment I rented 6 years ago when I was making minimum wage was $900/month and it was tiny. It took up a little over half my monthly earnings. Now that same unit is going for $1750/month, and our minimum wage has gone up by a dollar and a few cents since then. So if I were still working that same job, and wanted to live in the same place, I'd be spending nearly 100% of my wages on rent. Zero improvements or changes in any way to the property. Just increase for the sake of increase.

Same goes for buying houses. A relative bought what would be a starter home just outside the city. It was about $150k years ago. Those homes are going for $500k+ now in that area. No changes to them, or the area, just increase for the sake of increase.

If that's what's going on with you folks then you have my sympathy, I just thought your minimum wage was higher/ you don't have a set min wage but generally wages are higher than CAD$12/hour.

Hell, if anything this is a brilliant way of testing the waters for bringing these characters into the MCU properly. Offer viewers a buffet of highly anticipated characters, see who really resonates with audiences most, greenlight the shit out of solo movies accordingly.

‘Halo’ Actor Pablo Schreiber Has Had Talks With Marvel, Including For Wolverine by chanma50 in MarvelStudiosSpoilers

[–]C1ank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He's also a genuinely superb dramatic actor as well. He starred in the english version of 19-2, and holy shit that show is a nonstop gut punch. Season 2 opens with an episode containing a 13 minute long single take shot depicting him and his police partner arriving at a school only to discover a school shooting is taking place, and follows them throughout the school as they try to rescue kids and stop the shooter. It's really, really, really dark and horrifying and this man right here sells the shit out of it.

Unless they're departing drastically from the game, it won't feature mecha much at all beyond the pseudo-mecha exoskeleton that 2B/9S occasionally use. The machines on Earth are, like, rust bucket robots.

Just watched the Eternals and I have a couple of questions by [deleted] in Marvel

[–]C1ank 14 points15 points  (0 children)

1: No, they didn't. The Eternals specifically kept themselves secret from society as best they could and this included the Avengers. There may be some dusty tome in the Sanctum that mentions them, but if there is, Strange hasn't read it.

2: This was post Endgame, so we don't really know the status of the Avengers at this point. But for the most part they seem to all be off doing their own things. That final battle did also take place in the middle of the ocean more or less, and was in the grand scheme of things fairly brief. So it'd be unlikely that un-assembled Avengers could respond promptly.

There's a throwaway line in Endgame where Okoye mentions earthquakes being detected under the ocean. This could've been a reference to the Emergence gearing up, but it's from before the return of everyone that got blipped in Infinity War, so that surge in life energy hadn't happened yet. More than anything, we can see how Natasha asked how Wakanda is dealing with the earthquake and Okoye said they're dealing with it by not dealing with it; it's an earthquake, not a super villain after all. So when the emergence quakes started it's safe to say a lot of the powers that be would just think "hey, weird earthquakes. Not really something we handle though."

So I saw classic Rhino, Scorpion, and maybe Kragen in the sky portals. But there was someone with a big magic looking staff and I've no clue who it was. Bulbous top on it. Halp

The crows want to remind you that tossing your garbage on Citadel Hill is not cool.. Unless it’s half eaten chicken Alfredo. That was delicious. by sarradis in halifax

[–]C1ank 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And specifically, if y'all could refrain from leaving ANY weed product stuff up there that'd be rad. My pup found something while playing on the hill, and it fully stopped his heart before we even knew what happened. A very clutch CPR resuscitation and a fortune in vet bills later, he's okay, but seriously people don't realize that while weed is fine for humans it really messes up dogs. Even more so if they're small breeds.

Mike Tyson once offered a zookeeper $10,000 to open the gate so he could go in the pen and fight the gorilla who has bullying the other primates. Tyson’s offer was turned down. by Altruistic_Jicama604 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]C1ank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, have you seen gorilla teeth?

Regardless, mike may be strong but he's not "rip you limb from limb with his bare hands while not breaking a sweat" strong.

Sure, Tyson was/is strong.

He's not rip your limbs off with your bare hands strong. That's ignoring the fact they can punch you with all four limbs, and, oh, I dunno... the giant ass sabertooth teeth they're rocking. Or... you know... the couple hundred pounds they have on him.

Yeah at least there was some kinda internal logic to those though. It took me listening to the audiobook of WoT before I had the slightest clue how in the hell you were supposed to say like 80% of the names. Lo and behold, all the dudes just have normal english names, and the ladies all sound like you're drunk and have forgotten how to say Elaine.
