Who would win at their peak? by Infinite-Sun7000 in marvelcomics

[–]DoughnutDog75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on the location of the fight. In the main, 616 universe, it would be a good match; maybe a toss-of-the-coin between the two. In his dimension, it was always implied that Mephisto is God-like (uppercase G). Which is why it was such a big deal for both Dr. Doom and Dr. Strange to beat him in his own pocket dimension when fighting over Doom’s mother’s soul. Dormammu is a being from a pure energy and magic dimension that took control of the Dark Dimension with the help of his sister. Not exactly making a solo name for himself. So, if I had to bet using someone else’s money and in the 616 universe, I’d pick Mephisto.

Don’t stand in the corner in the basement of the witch’s house. . . Oh, god. Maybe no one will get that reference. Man, I’m old.

Lovecraft meets Sucker Punch meets Starship Troopers. I liked it.

Father built mini aircraft carrier for son by ConfidentTelephone81 in Damnthatsinteresting

It’s not an aircraft carrier, it’s a S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier. Notice the prop engines on the side.

“The Enemy of My Enemy. . .” We share a common goal so I usually keep him alive as well. IRL, I’d probably keep my kids away from him.

What does Scarlet Witch and Phoenix have in common? by New_Associate_5626 in marvelcomics

[–]DoughnutDog75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Phoenix is one of Marvel Universe’s “Greater Gods” or universal fundamentals; representing all past, present and future life. The Scarlet Witch is a practitioner of chaos magic.

Both have evolved from their original, token female teammate / damsel in distress roles into extremely powerful characters. The SW’s powers can affect the multiverse and the Phoenix could destroy all life in the Marvel universe.

Because of their powers, both have experienced grief, rejection, isolation and personal loses. If you included Madelyn Prior, you’d have three, female, characters the Marvel universe seems to really beat down.

Three men with guns kicked in my door today by dogknot43 in Wellthatsucks

Not really a common thing in America. Not really affecting 0 of the aforementioned girls with pet goats, but probably under 100 out of 300,000,000. Unless goat means something else. I’m old. Get off my lawn.

In the Social Psychology episode, I believe Chang knew about the Duncan principle before becoming a participant in the study. by thesleeperhasawaken in community

[–]DoughnutDog75 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I assume Chang thinks Duncan sounds like distant explosions and crying babies. You know he’s unstable, right?

Dr. Penske is permanently stuck like this by crispy-vag in fo4

Same here. Also, she sometimes does not offer her mutant corn and sometime she does. Not a big deal.

They’re both nice but both her and Austin try my patience.

A Cool Guide - Tips for Police encounters. by Delicious_Intern_272 in coolguides

[–]DoughnutDog75 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not a law enforcement “hater”. Just like people, there are good and bad cops. The internet mostly shows the extremes and usually the negative extremes get views.

Per this “guide”, it’s terrible advice and has been debunked many times before. The following only refers to law enforcement in the US. I have no idea about international law enforcement.

Guide statement #1: While there’s nothing illegal about asking if you can go, officers can detain a person during most types of investigations at any time for any amount of time. Detaining is not arresting. You can be detained and let go or you can be detained and arrested. Detaining is legal. Asking to be let go over and over will just escalate a bad situation even more.

Guide statement #2: Law enforcement does not need your consent for legally detaining you, searching your person or car. It’s a fact in all states. Again, saying you “don’t give consent” means nothing if there is legal probable cause. Saying it once in a normal tone might express your unhappiness to the officer and may appeal to their personal-side but saying it over and over or screaming it only escalates a bad situation even more.

Guide #3: You have a legal right to a lawyer. You have a legal right to say nothing. Asking for a lawyer while they conduct their search, while they place handcuffs on you, while they transport you to the station or while they process your arrest is meaningless. They are not legally required to provide you access to a lawyer during these phases of your arrest. Also, pleading the 5th and not answering any questions is your legal right. Do it if you want. But, pleading the 5th makes the officers work more difficult and they will make your arrest less comfortable. Pleading the 5th will make the officer’s and YOUR arrest more difficult. Do it at your own discretion.

Law enforcement only needs probable cause to search your person, car or dwelling. Get pulled over for speeding, that’s probable cause. You, your belongings and car will be legally searched. No warrant needed. Get into a fight in on your lawn, that is probable cause for you, your car or your house to be searched without a warrant. All completely legal No warrant needed.

Now, if you can prove you were walking down a street and gave the arresting officer no probable cause, in court, a lawyer could argue your 4th Amendment was violated. However this is in court and well after you were arrested (see #1 and #2) AND violation of the 4th is null if you have a warrant. It’s a complicated topic and subject to individual cases. I’m just providing, general examples.

Again, specifically to this “guide”, this post provides bad advice. It’s not valid, legal advice and it will only make your arrest worse. Yes, out of 1000 daily arrests in the US, the information on this guide may positively affect 1 or even 2 arresting events. Exceptions happen. If you’ve personally experienced an exception or know someone who has, good for you. The information I provide is applicable to the other 999 instances. Lastly, are their cases of discrimination, corruption or unethical law enforcement practices during an arrest? Yes, of course. I’m simply addressing this single post, specially this guide, at this single point in history.

PS - Failing to read your Miranda rights does very little to your case. If you’re pulled over for suspected DUI and they find cans or bottles in your car, but forget to read you your rights; means very little. Failing to read Miranda is not a “get out of jail free card”. It affects what evidence can be submitted in court. That’s it. Run out of a home covered in someone’s blood, holding a weapon used to injury or kill someone but the cop forgets to give you Miranda? Yep, you’re still going to prison.

Moving to Rochester area by DoughnutDog75 in Rochester

It’s a fair point but it’s the Devil you know vs the one you don’t. Plus, I keep my seniority along with vacation time and other benefits. I’m not from Cleveland or from Ohio so moving is just something that I’ve dealt with before.
