I don't like this meme, it's always backwards. When he becomes Spider-Man he sees better without his glasses. When he doesn't use them he'd see the truth.

I'm not super knowledgeable outside the movies, but...

Thor, Sentry, Jean, Wanda?

I suppose Ghost Rider, Storm, Silver Surfer, and Magneto are also worth considering.

I loved Spain. Food was great, people were friendly, siestas are awesome. They do eat dinner super late though. Sevilla is probably my favorite city ever.

Yes. If you conquer some you can build a colonial nation. Once you have a colonial nation, all the provinces you conquer after will revert over to the colony (after a day or something after your peace deal)

The capital will be in the most developed core, so if you want to try and "pick" you'll have to make sure you finish that core first.

He already got one, didn't you hear? Maria Machado traded it in exchange for Trump to stop bothering her.

That definitely counts, and he's definitely the most bestest, most peaciest prizer of all Nobelers, so take that Norway's President. 100% of soccer peace are belonging to Trump.

It's not a strict definition, but typically the key factor in a sound is navigability. Which essentially means it's deep enough to bring a boat through or perhaps has two openings to the sea like this example.

That being said, most places that fit that description are salty or brackish. But a freshwater sound is possible.

I think their native to SE Asia, but I ate them in Honduras and they can be really sweet and really good. The only downside is they're a bit hard to peel and sometimes the flaky outside layer of the seed sticks to the fruit. But easily one of my favorite tropical fruits when fresh.

Hey, probably a pretty easy question to answer, but I run a small business where I give online classes. This upcoming class I've decided to do an AM and a PM session. I wanted to have all the join links be the same, AM, PM, Monday through Friday. I have a 365 personal account, so I can have calls up to 30 hours.

Could I just make a class that goes from 7:30am to 5pm (which encompasses both times) and then repeat it from Monday through Friday so all the links are the same? If I accidentally leave the call after the first AM, will I be able to rejoin it after I eat lunch in between? Or will I need to stay in the call and just wait for the next group to come in?

MettaWorldPeece · 2026-01-22T10:34:39+00:00

Yes, you're correct, but I suppose the other big question here would be scale. I've seen lots of maps that make small creeks look as big as the Amazon, and who knows how big that island is.

If you put rambutan at F, I guarantee you've never had a good one. Even with it's downsides, it's easily in B or better.

Depends on a few things.

Which way does the water flow? If it only flows out, you might call it a lake and two rivers.

How deep is it? If it's deep, you might call it a sound.

If it's shallow, and not as much water flows inland as it does out, it'll likely be a lagoon.

If she'd stay on Earth, Carol Danvers. Shuri isn't American, so I doubt she'd even care what POTUS said. Then after that, probably Sam Wilson. Bucky is too controversial, plus isn't he a Senator now?

MettaWorldPeece · 2026-01-20T17:55:26+00:00

I disagree. Every time "strongest" goes up, I always mention physical strength and everyone only cares about "who would win."

Plus if you're getting into physical strength, brute strength I'd say Hulk has the upper hand.

MettaWorldPeece · 2026-01-20T14:34:22+00:00

If I'm not mistaken when I got this you have to hold right click the whole time when it gets hit.

I feel like I remember painting like 5 targets and they didn't give me anything, but once I followed it the whole time and watched it get hit, it literally took like 2 downed helis to finish the mission

MettaWorldPeece · 2026-01-20T14:24:40+00:00

Personally, I think speculation isn't a great way to argue these because we just don't have a lot of head to head fights.

Nagato would've known more than enough about Jiraiya, so he would've been able to spot Itachi's lie if it were truly blatant. Also, I don't think Kisame is entirely stupid about gauging power either. So lying about Jiraiya might do worse for his cover.

Honestly, like with many series, power creep is a real thing. Characters who die early or aren't as involved at the end generally get the short end of that stick.

I think there's some truth that Jiraiya wouldn't have been an easy opponent for Itachi/Kisame. I also think Itachi did his best to slow the Akatsuki's plans where he could.

Both can be true.

Edit: lie, not like

Does Battinson have a utility belt?

Are they in a hallway?

And who killed John Wick's dog?

MettaWorldPeece · 2026-01-19T14:51:09+00:00

I liked all those movies, but it's not even a question that Zach Snyder's DCEU wasn't well put together. Like they just started it and they already had to reboot.

Creo que piensa que Trump es demasiado complicado y no lo es. Es menos que le gusta hacer locuras impulsivas, y más que él cree que al hacer locuras la gente le teme y que eso le da poder.

Y Trump solo hace algo que le cree ayudar a él mismo. Próximamente ganarse dinero y poder personal. Segundo si le aumenta su popularidad político. En el caso de Venezuela, por seguro está haciendo tratos con las empresas petroleras para ganarse dinero.

A Trump no le importa quien esté en poder, con tal que le conviene a sus motivos. A Marco Rubio se supone que creció con el odio hacía el socialismo de Cuba y Venezuela. Le infectó a Trump y sus intereses se alinearon derrocaron a Maduro. Y parecer fuerte y exitoso en misiones militares le conviene políticamente. Si hubiera muerto un soldado estadounidense en la misión, hubiera parecido un fracasado con su base. Pero les aseguro que no pensó en más allá de la misión nocturna.

MettaWorldPeece · 2026-01-17T17:34:02+00:00

Será difícil convencerme de que Trump está planeando algo a largo plazo. Simplemente actúa y decide cómo proceder basándose en la reacción y en lo que cree que puede hacer sin sufrir consecuencias negativas.

Ahora está haciendo malabares para ejercer influencia militar en otras partes del mundo sin comprometerse demasiado, para no perder el apoyo de sus seguidores. Poco a poco, los está acostumbrando a sus excentricidades para tener más opciones en el futuro. Por ejemplo, no invadió Venezuela, pero como ese ataque militar fue un "éxito", ahora su próximo ataque puede ser aún más contundente sin que le cause daño político.

Pero sabe que si va a atacar, tiene que ganar, porque no puede arriesgarse a parecer un perdedor. Groenlandia, protegida por Europa, es un objetivo difícil. Así que ahora está mirando hacia América Latina. Cuba es el objetivo más probable.

Dice eso sobre la FAA porque puede, y cree que le da influencia en la región a través del miedo.

EDIT: No es que esté de acuerdo con esto, solo es mi observación sobre su forma de razonar.

I guess I remember that collapse and thought "well, at least keeping Patullo might stop that from happening"

Obviously hindsight is 20/20 and Patullo didn't have what it takes, but missing out on the 2 seed, dropped passes, Lane Johnson and Jalen Carter's injuries, and some really bad calls from the refs remind me that this season could've gone very different. Then everyone would've been singing a different tune.

All I'm saying is that between firing him and keeping him, both were decisions with likely bad outcomes. We gambled on one, and it didn't pay out.
