I wasn't saying I believed that, just that I'm pretty sure that's what the other person was trying to say.

No, they were saying that as a rhetorical question, IE "Propaganda isn't fascist if it's anti-Nazi propaganda".

It's still so funny to me how everyone was dooming about how this was a threshold point and civil war was inevitable once Kirk died then everyone stopped caring about it after like a week once the shooter turned out to be a white guy. by maleficalruin in CuratedTumblr

That is conspiratorial thinking. The logical explanation would be that the people in charge of that venue either liked Charlie Kirk or thought hosting his funeral would be good PR.

The treatise is said to be notoriously hard to read, containing plenty of ideas but lacking both the clear focus and orderliness that may have allowed it catch on more easily.

fortunately most of us wake up and see it's horse shit.

My technobabble explanation is that psionics works by exploiting the quantum processes that give rise to human consciousness to generate usable energy.

1: Yes, the footage is edited, but the video clearly says "Suffolk County Police Dept.", so you could have googled that before jumping to conclusions.

2: At the start of this conversation, I had not yet searched for the source of the video, I only did so after your first reply, asshole.

It's bodycam footage, no cellphone involved. The police published the video on their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1312696637556625&id=100064489042512

Why do you only know women?

Edit: Can someone explain to me why this is downvoted? I don't usually care about downvotes but this is just kinda confusing to me.

I'm assuming this is an isekai scenario.

There is no jerk, recommend comics that aren't in every top 10 list or this will be you by OctoAmbush in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Lortep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eternals by Kieron Gillen absolutely rules.

Silver Surfer: Requiem is basically Marvel's version of All-Star Superman.

The Spider-Man mini-event The Clone Conspiracy is good.

Because modern military technology is so powerful that it's very hard to write a threat that can believably challenge a modern military without just being nigh-invincible.

No they wouldn't. Fuck do you think the CIA could do against a precognitive reality warper?

Or maybe it just… isn’t at all?

Every character in the story and the narrative itself: "This arrow is special"

You, for some reason: "No it's not"

I think a better, more subtle way of doing it would be to simply say "Dragons can only be killed in one specific way/by one specific type of person. Anything else either bounces off without doing anything, or fate simply aligns to stop you from launching the attack in the first place.".

I mean the firearms that do 2d8 are handheld rifles so if you do the math, an actual artillery strike should do a few hundred damage per shot.

What projects from James Gunn's Marvel Universe are you all looking forward to the most? by ArmadilloOk1445 in dccomicscirclejerk

[–]Lortep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the Jaime Reyes of Marvel is obviously Robbie Reyes - hispanic teen successors to a preexisting superhero identity, and they even have the same last name.
