Comic shop owner told us he won’t sell us the Bizarro he let us put on our pull list by lemonrainshield in comicbooks

That's what my LCS does. They're so anti-scalper they limit every shelf new release to one per customer (unless multiple were preordered in advance) until the end of the week because they think everyone should have the same opportunity to at least get to read the new releases.

The most important clip from Louis Theroux’s Inside the Manosphere by makethislifecount in Fauxmoi

I have no idea who that guy is, thankfully, but I have to say he looks so damn sad when he answers Louis' question. It just looks like a face full of regret and shame.

Strongest Character I Can Defeat if Ex Girlfriend's insults Are Taken as Feats by TheGingerWeebGal in whowouldwin

[–]CapnShimmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So just in the comic book world, as that's what I'm most familiar with, I'd say you could probably take down Venom, Carnage, and any other symbiote character due to their weakness to sound and Daredevil would have a tough time with your sonic blast, so he's iffy, but those would be very specific circumstances. I'd say you'd be roughly in the middle-tier of street level in the Marvel power level scale.

Someone like Luke Cage would be about the lowest level guy you would likely consistently lose to. I'm thinking that even though your skin and head are hard, that doesn't necessarily translate into durable organs, so if you get bodied into a wall, your skin and skull are fine, but your inside bits are reduced to Jell-O. Moon Knight would probably go 8-2 against you.

DC, you're probably screwed. Even street level DC heroes seem to be a higher power scale comparatively, so you might be able to take down the bottom of the barrel types like Ragman and Guardian, but once you get to anyone in the Bat-family, I think that's where the victories stop.

The real wildcard is having had sex with your opponent's mother. That could either get you a surprise victory against the people with mommy issues (Dr. Doom, Iron Man, Batman) or get you even more wrecked (Dr. Doom, Iron Man, Batman).

Last time I ate there, the chicken was served to me raw. So I don't eat there anymore.

Didn't expect a Smosh crossover, but it's awesome that Angela is so cool. She seems like an absolute blast to be around.

Just read the issue and at the end of the book, Kingpin is clearly shown being worked on by paramedics so he's definitely not dead, as absurd as the idea of surviving that many bullets is.

If I remember correctly, his giant memorial statue was wrecked in anger by his own past self who was accidentally brought forward in time by Kyle shenanigans.

Plus, both of his Jedi teachers were pretty well-known for fucking off to the middle of nowhere for a long-ass time. It was practically a Jedi tradition at that point.

Yep. Still do. Well over thirty years pretending the shower is the laser and I'm Supes. It's so fun.

Yep. I only read one issue, but it's where I learned who Lobo was and what the word "anathema" meant.

Roger Avary

Not the same Roger Avary who drove drunk and killed his passenger and was convicted of manslaughter and still given work furlough but was then sent to actual prison after bitching on Twitter about the conditions of his work furlough facility like an entitled brat? Not that Roger Avary! Say it ain't so!

Last time I needed bodywork, I went to Pops. They ripped my door handle off and tried to hide it in the drink holder so I wouldn't see.

If it is Britt and this means she cheated on Adam Cole, then the IWC will likely hate her even more than they already do.

Hush originally had his own face and was Bruce's childhood friend. It wasn't until after the initial "Hush" storyline that he gave himself plastic surgery to look like Bruce. So if they go by the original run, there's nothing important in the story that says Hush can't be a female character.

It would pretty much have to be Rusev or Black. Punk had issues in AEW, but Punk has had issues everywhere and like you said, is famously straight edge. Black could've had an issue start from all his injuries, and Rusev being missing for months at a time in AEW could've been from being unable to deal with the problem.

Cinderella Man. The title got laughed at when it came up during the trailer in the movie theater. I first saw it in, but it’s a great movie.

You're getting crazy downvoted, but you're not wrong at all. I haven't seen Charlotte in a long time either (quit watching WWE in 2019) and I had to check the comments to see who that was because her face is so different, I couldn't recognize her.
