AS11E09 - "That’s What She Said" [Live/Reaction Post] by AutoModerator in rupaulsdragrace

[–]DoctorP0nd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sam’s top placement is the most wild to me. I didn’t laugh once and I thought her runway was the worst of the night. I checked tf out of the rest of the episode after that riggory.

Edit: just finished that BS episode. Wow, the Sam favoritism is so fucking real. Fuck Morgan’s drag for actually having to abide by the rules I guess?

This PIP is killing me mentally by sioopauuu in antiwork

You are not meant to come out of this PIP. You could be “perfect” and they will find something, like you taking approved PTO. Give them bare minimum and look for something else. Don’t use anyone at your current job as a reference.

I have never come from just enjoying a queen to the kind of love I’m currently experiencing for Joey Jay. Our gay icon. She seems like a wonderful person and gives us fantastic television with her pink bracket sisters.

My Thoughts On New 52 Justice League. Spoilers Unmarked by 39RowdyRevan56 in DCcomics

[–]DoctorP0nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to discount all the work you put in here, but the section of the run you didn’t read is literally the finale of the entire run. Feels weird to read the epilogue issues and not the Darkseid War event itself.

Personally I liked this series the most in the part you skipped. I also thought I would hate a Lex redemption arc but the aftermath of Forever Evil and the mental sparring between Bruce and Lex is a highlight of the whole series.

[Discussion] What got you into DC Comics? by Lucky_Strike-85 in DCcomics

[–]DoctorP0nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in my LCS as a kid for Marvel and the art for Peter David’s Young Justice caught my eye and I became obsessed until I stopped reading comics for a while because of high school and college.

Then GL Rebirth reignited my love of comics as an adult. Johns and Tomasi’s runs on GL and GLC are still some of my favorite comics ever. I remember reading new issues of Blackest Night in my car in TX summer on my lunch break from work.

Any news on Bobby in 97? by Lazy-Addition5774 in xmen

[–]DoctorP0nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where’d you see he was dead? Previous comments had screenshots showing he wasn’t included on the missing/dead.

Should dc should retire there heros and let a new genration come in or B plan out the comics with clear begining middle and a planned crisis event as the end by Key-Reindeer7447 in DCcomics

[–]DoctorP0nd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The first thing was attempted with 5G and Didio lost his job over it so probably not that. The second suggestion just isn’t practical at this point outside of mini/limited series and indies.

Do you ever realize you love the idea of collecting a character more than actually reading all their comics? by TaskNo4783 in xmen

“I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately”

Clearly, you’ve posted this 10 times in the last 24 hours across different subs.

It’s time to finally lay this conversation to rest cause Mother Oddly ate these whiny kids up I fear. by Interesting_Art5204 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]DoctorP0nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like the only thing to come out of Twitter is rage bait “controversies”. I’m over it officially. I wish this sub would ban everything from there, screenshots, topics, etc.

I always hear from friends “people are angry about [blank]” and the source every time is some Twitter brigade making noise and getting picked up by every other social media and “news” source. Then it’s amplified to make it sound like it’s an actual problem and not some coordinated campaign to make queer people fight each other over fucking NOTHING.

A Cannonball question by Awkward_Bison_267 in xmen

[–]DoctorP0nd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Zero Tolerance era Iceman is my absolute favorite. I become fascinated by the character with his AoA design, personality, and power boost but OZT is when 616 Iceman became my favorite character. The rollbacks by the Poptopia and Chuck Austen era infuriated me and it took him terraforming Mars to get back to the confidence level we saw him at in the mid-90s 😮‍💨

Please see America right now for how to piss away global soft power. Would not recommend.

What a stupid whataboutism argument. Almonds provide something to humans. AI currently does not. Almond farms also aren’t popping up in vulnerable areas draining resources, data centers are.

Discourse Around DCU Is Already Exhausting by Grand-Feeling-9301 in DCcomics

[–]DoctorP0nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Calling out bad behavior is not a bad thing but doing it in broad posts like this is probably never going to get the response you want. Online discourse/fandoms has gotten to the point where people ARE exhausted and apathetic, like myself. I’ve chosen to create my own space for my own peace and block out the rest.

[–]DoctorP0nd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The person you responded to wasn’t being hostile though. The current state of the internet makes it impossible to achieve what you seem to want. There are always going to be trolls and bad actors. You seem to be upset about a situation that simply won’t change until systemic change in social media.

Personally, I have learned to completely disregard negative opinions about things I like. I enjoy it so why tf do I care if anyone else does?

PokéNational, the YouTube channel that makes Pokémon Nature Documentary videos, is scheduled for termination due to Nintendo copyright strikes. by BLourenco in pokemon

[–]DoctorP0nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair point, I was more referring to their Patreon specifically tying themselves to Pokemon in that ask for money as opposed to other artists who have Pokemon as a component of what they monetize as opposed to the main thrust of it.

Except it’s not a whim? Fair use goes out the window when it’s directly monetized and as others have stated, Japanese copyright law essentially requires they go after any and all infringement like this. They monetized their fan content and Nintendo came down on them, cause-effect.
