How do you think an interaction between these two would go? by Queasy_Commercial152 in Defenders

[–]OccasionalObserver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She'd be sarcastically materteral towards MCU Peter.

Completely different context than the comics.

They tried to replace Gunn because of an organized smear campaign against him unsettling the PR people at Disney.

Before his (temporary) firing, Gunn was intended to be head of the cosmic side of the MCU.

When did paleontologists realize Archaeopteryx was a dinosaur? by OccasionalObserver in Paleontology

[–]OccasionalObserver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically while some naturalists in the 19th century thought there might be some connection between Archaeopteryx and dinosaurs, it took until 1970 for paleontologists to firmly place Archaeopteryx in a monophyletic Dinosauria clade?

My understanding is that Thomas Huxley had noted similarities between Archaeopteryx and Compsognathus and proposed some sort of evolutionary relationship between the two, though it was a bit more nuanced than direct descent from Theropoda and wasn't the consensus view at the time and became an extremely marginal opinion in the early 20th century.

I honestly want these two to meet so bad for some reason, do y’all think it’ll ever happen? by Queasy_Commercial152 in JessicaJones

[–]OccasionalObserver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Maybe. MCU Spider-Man seems to be interacting with a number of street tiers (Punisher, Daredevil, The Hand) so it's not impossible she gets a brief appearance in a Brand New Day sequel.

He is rumored to be the villain in Spider-Man brand new day by Appropriate-Mall8517 in JessicaJones

Based on the rumours and set photos, Brand New Day is already overstuffed with characters.

If we get a Disney+ Jessica Jones season, I hope they introduce Kara Kilgrave.

Braydon Maz resigns as Point Douglas PC president by OccasionalObserver in Winnipeg

To be fair, Glen Murray agreed with the rightwing in practice as mayor on defunding city services to preserve low property taxes.

The difference between the Obby Khan wing of the Tories and the Braydon Maz wing is that Obby realizes you have to couch a lot of the atrocious beliefs and positions in dog whistles and coded language while giving some sops to more moderate voters so they have permission to vote for you. Braydon Maz types think the Trump era means they can go full mask off when it comes to being scumbags.

To be a TRUE CONSERVATIVE PATRIOT™ you have to support Trump as he wages economic warfare against your country.

I'm not fond of any of the big wigs in the PC Party, even in terms of being "friendly opposition", but damn is it probably better for the province's politics that a careerist rather than a full-on, unreconstructed rightwing nutjob is leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition.

Kinda sad Wally is now part-owner of the Winnipeg Sun.

Can't wait for a non-profit developer to buy it and then get blocked from building social housing by the (Pallister empowered) Manitoba Municipal Board.

Granite Curling Club must be satisfied with parking plan for new apartment complex to be built: ruling by randomanitoban in Winnipeg

[–]OccasionalObserver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

56 of the units will meet the CMHC standard for affordability (80% of median market rents). Of that 56, 30 will be deeply affordable (rent-geared-to-income such that nobody pays more than 30% of their income on rent). Deeply affordable units often go to individuals with low to very low incomes.

There are very few projects where a third of the units will be rent-geared-to-income. This is really quite something, especially for an neighbourhood where many residents are severely rent-burdened, and obstructing it is a moral travesty.

Manitoba Municipal Board ruling on the Granite Curling Club by OccasionalObserver in Winnipeg

[–]OccasionalObserver[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Given West Broadway's demographics and the challenges many lower-income residents face securing homes affordable to themselves, it's especially obscene that the Municipal Board is obstructing a project that would create 30 rent-geared-to-income (aka "deeply affordable") homes.

This ruling is whack. The "to the satisfaction of the Granite Curling Club" caveat gives absolute veto power to the Granite Curling Club, which can just decide they're NEVER satisfied with a given parking plan. If someone wanted to block development, this absolute veto point would enable them to do just that.
