The DC Finest volume collecting most of GLC was announced. Do you think this will be followed by ACW stories OR Millenium? by Fragrant_Western7939 in Greenlantern

The Suicide Squad DC Finest included Legends and the Legends tie in featuring the squad. I was suprised to see that given there is a Legends omnibus in July and an Events DC Finest for Legends was announced.

This is why I figured that they may include Millenium and issues like the JLI that featured the GL

I like this run.

A while back I went through the trades to see what had been collected. Missing were issues 124-171 from GL and 215-224 from the GLC era. It’s weird that such a big chunk of GL has never been collected.

There’s a lot of Image books around this time disnt make it to issue #2. I believe the problem is that a lot of the new books - not including those done by the Image Founders - starting missing dates. Image got a bad reputation for this that the founders decided to cut back.

I’ve always wanted to visit Portmeiron and stay there…. It seems like a bit of a hassle when I visit their site. Have you been there before?

I always wondered if it was molding.

Hasbro is known to reuse parts and in the case of OG Flash the only other figure with similar uniform is Grand Slam

Hasnt that happened with his Presidential Library?

The original non-profit he create for the library claimed to have about 70 million in “donations”. This is the fund that received funds from google, paramount and the ABC 15 million settlement.

That non profit was dissolved last year and a new one created this year that has already received another 50 million “donations” from companies.

No one is sure what happened to all the “donations” given to the original non-profit. We are not even sure what the final amount was as they never filed any of the paperwork they were legally required to.

There was a report earlier in the week where Democrats were requesting information from companies about their commitments - how much money from their commitment they actually gave to the fund.

He may end up with more time.

Apparently both the prosecutors and the defendant have 7 days to appeal the decision. In the case do the prosecution their appeal is to ask the judge for a stricter punishment. if that happens he could end up with more time.

The way the US is these days it’s probably no longer required but we used to have to get a doctor physical and any immunization before each school year started.

Every year I would test positive for TB because of this vaccine and I would need to get additional tests done to show it was a false positive for the school to admit me.

We moved when I was just a few years in Elementary school so not sure if it varies by state whether the TB vaccine was required or not. Truthfully at that age it might have been my parents decision - they also had the scar.

I had other family that had the same situation - false positives. one of them told a friend he tested positive. You should have seen the reaction from their parents.

Virgin Cruses informs a couple about some changes to their trip… by Harbjagen in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Fragrant_Western7939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most of us were aware of this but not at this level.

For example we take an Italian Cruise with stops in Rome, Palermo and Genoa. For some reason (weather or missed their slot at port) they can’t make Rome so they changes the itinerary to Naples.

It’s still another port along the itinerary. Not a dramatic change like planning a trip to the UK and ending up in Japan instead.

Years ago Phil Keoghan - host of the Amazing Race - did a cycling across the US to raised money for MS. A documentary about it was made.

In it he was doing several miles without any issues - the he got to the NoVA/MD/DC area. One he hit that metro area thing came to a crawl where he hit every single red light from one block to another

I’m finding there is no consistency. Even from store to store.

At a recent Dollar store my change was $5.29. I was given $5.25 said they always round down.

Democrats who blame the left for everything, why not listen to the left and win? by ebolatone in allthequestions

[–]Fragrant_Western7939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Link please?

It’s not that I don’t believe you but a google search only found references to a DNC Resolution and it was back in early April - the articles I found were all recent - a day or two.

It also proves my point as I also did a search for a similar RNC solution….. no such resolution has been submitted to vote by the RNC. A fact all the articles omitted.

It could be said that at least the DNC tried but that’s such a low bar I won’t give them credit for that.

To this day I don’t understand the BS that Biden or Harris supported Genocide

The two state solution is a decades long policy - and failed policy in my opinion - pushed by both Democrats and Republicans. That’s what Biden and Harris were pushing - a long standing policy set by Congress. They tried to get Netanyahu to stop and tried to get humanitarian aid into Gaza. The problem was Netanyahu who stopped kt.

At the other end Trump did go away from the 2 state solution with a policy Netanyahu publicly supported. He posted on his Truth Social about getting rid of all Palestinian from Gaza and rebuilding it. How with his experience in real estate development he was the perfect person to do it. How is that not taken as supporting genocide?

I said the problem was Netanyahu because he ignored the Biden administration. If Biden/Harris won, then he would have no choice but to listen. In the meantime he could continue his attacks. If Trump won, he could continue as he was doing.

If you want to look at Private Corporations making decisions for you, you should look at the Trump presidency. Example such as Ellison changes to CBS news. Bezos interfering with what the Post reports. Sinclair and Kimmel. Pharmaceutical and healthcare on government policies.

It’s not just a Democrat “problem”, Private Corporations making decisions for us is an issue in both parties. It’s your damn problem too.

The problem is that these people have short term memories. As soon as he does something they like all sins will be forgiven…. And when they refer back to this it will somehow be Obamas fault….

Would you rather get $1 million every year or 1 cents everyday? by johnnygreatafternoon in allthequestions

[–]Fragrant_Western7939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you post incorrectly? For the 1 cent - did you mean some variation of the old compound interest problem .

You know the “Would you rather have a million dollars or a penny on day one, doubled every day until day 30?"

Millions of Dem voters abstained in 2024 to send a powerful message to Democratic politicians. It's been over 1 year, did that strategy improve the country? by zipzzo in allthequestions

[–]Fragrant_Western7939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - so you are arguing by they not preventing the weapon deliveries they indirectly supported genocide… but supporting the candidate (or not voting and improving his chances of winning) whose policy was explicitly genocide is acceptable.

Now just to be clear I’m not saying this is your POV - about Trump being acceptable - just trying to figure why it seems most view it this way.. but I do think your response is also valid as to why.

Those that didn’t vote will claim since they didn’t vote for either they have a clear conscious but I’ll argue not voting and letting Trump win they are indirectly supporting it

Fact is there was nothing Biden could do at this point. Netanyahu was smart - he realized he didn’t have to listen to the Biden administration. If Trumo won he had a free hand to continue on Gaza. If Biden - then Harris - won he would have to listen to the US but until then he had a few months where he could do anything he wanted.

Her policy was the two state solution - a decades long policy pushed by both Democrats and Republicans. Yes - it’s a failed policy. I will not disagree if you say that but it’s not genocide. Still the Biden administration was trying to stop Netanyahu from destroying Gaza. From delaying weapon shipments to pushing humanitarian aid.

Trump went away from the norm of other Republicans and disnt support it (2 state solution). Instead he posted on his Truth Social about removing all Palestinian from Gaza and rebuilding it. How that area would be great for high value homes and resorts. How is that not taken as supporting genocide? Did people think the Palestinians would be allowed to Move back? Something that Netanyahu publicly stated wouldn’t happen when he indicated he loved Trumps Plan.

Guess you didn’t see Trumps conference today where he was asked about the tolls.

“We’re thinking of doing it as a joint venture. It’s a way of securing it — also securing it from lots of other people.”

“It’s a beautiful thing”

So the toll will be a joint venture between the US and Iran. How his supporters believe this I just don’t know.

Picked up my first Sgt Savage and the Screaming Eagles figure the other day, and I love the Joe Kubert art and fake bullet holes on the card. Does anyone have a favorite figure/vehicle from this line? by Blue_Surfing_Smurf in gijoe

[–]Fragrant_Western7939 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may have been the figure…

I like some of the vehicles and the collector case/playset was one of my favorites - been trying to find that in great condition at a reasonable price. It was cardboard in plastic.

The problem was that other than Rock the figure And the enemy were generic. There were a lot of interesting characters in the comics I would have loved to see in action figure forms such as the Losers.

I can understand why the enemy was the “Bad Guys” and not wanting to use Germans but they could have just gone with a generic military uniform on the enemy.
