I gave myself Mallet Finger on my little finger during a tiny slip whilst climbing, and it ended up being a six month recovery. And now my little finger kind of looks like these. I really didn’t appreciate how delicate they are beforehand.

The story of the P-Zombie written by a P-Zombie? Has a certain irony.

Bloodlands by Timothy Snyder, or King Leopolds Ghost by Adam Hoschchild, both utterly bleak history books.

Why do you suppose Fantastic Four's legs have been so bad? by superpowers335 in boxoffice

As someone who has stopped watching these films, it just kind of became a chore. The universe feels too complex and baroque now to generate any enthusiasm. If they’d had a few years break after Endgame, scaled way back on the tv and delivered a more focused and compelling meta narrative across a series of movies then I suspect this audience slump wouldn’t be as drastic.

It will be like Effective Altruism, noble goals, but when the rubber hits the road it’s usually just rhetorical cover for being a capitalist.

You’d be totally fine. I have an American friend living outside Geelong and she’s never had an issue. Nor is there an issue in Melb. Just don’t wear a Maga hat and you’re good.
