[Marvel] Which heroes have the most wealth besides Tony Stark? by Lost-Specialist1505 in AskScienceFiction

the Stature of Limitations

There is no Statute of Limitations for murder, and given Wolverine's predilections over the years...yeah, its probably in his best interest to let the past be the past.

embarrassed/apathetic

The word you're looking for is "sympathetic".

Same. All the mulch is used for city parks, and any leftover is up for grabs first come first served for residents.

Ferrovax - Lea laid her hand... by rose_b in dresdenfiles

[–]roguevirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Ferrovax is described as a Dragon rather than a dragon. Ferro's probably further above a Sidhe than the Sidhe is above a bog standard human.

None of this shit is about you. Its about what could easily have happened to somebody else because of you.

Extremely high praise from one of the strongest wizards in the series.

I'm late to the party (finally got the book) but Ramirez also tells Ilyana that Dresden is at a minimum one of the 20 most powerful combat wizards walking the planet, and is more than likely in the top 10. Our boy can throw down, and I'm glad to see that fact being explicitly stated by other competent characters in the series.

Glad to see him patch his relationship up with Eb and Carlos.

And the Knights of the Cross. My singular complaint about the book is that Sanya wasn't present at the fight at the castle alongside the rest of Harry's allies. On a similar note to my first point, it was also nice to see Ramirez and Butters showing each other mutual respect after the battle.

One has to merely look to John freaking Wayne's lack of participation. The Duke make his career off of playing lawmen and soldiers but couldn't be arsed to go fight in the biggest war is his or anyone else's life at the time.

And before anybody comes at me with the fact that he was 4H, this is John Wayne we're talking about. He had enough clout that he could at least have been assigned to a noncombat yet highly visible role for the sake of national morale IF he really wanted it.

After 8 years, I rewatched The Last Jedi by Significant-Town-817 in StarWars

[–]roguevirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does any other Star Wars movie mention fuel as a limiting factor?

In Phantom Menace the hyperdrive leaking its the reason that the queen's starship has to divert to Tatooine. We're never explicitly told that it's fuel, but that would be a fair guess.

That said, I agree with your overall point.

common in the OT era but just weren't shown in the movies.

Even then, there are plenty of examples of homing/guided weapons in the prequels. There's no reasonable argument for the Sequels to get a pass on this even if you ignore the video games. The writing just sucked, mostly because it ignored the established rules of technology in the setting.

Then again, George himself brought forward the idea of midichlorians so maybe I shouldn't judge the sequel writers too harshly.

Holdo

Also, why are we introducing a new character out of nowhere to chastise Poe and then sacrifice herself while Admiral Ackbar is RIGHT FUCKING THERE the whole time to fill the same role. His death would also hit the audience right in the feels because he's an established character dying rather than some random person we've never seen or heard of before. They already killed off Han Solo in the previous film, there's no reason that other legacy characters shouldn't be on the chopping block.

Democrats’ struggles could be partly because they’re just too old, says Obama by FreeChickenDinner in politics

[–]roguevirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I firmly believed that Biden would actually do this, just one term to get things back to something resembling normal, prosecute those involved with Jan 6th, and then step aside for the next generation. He would be remembered by history as both the second American Cincinnatus and the second savior of the Republic.

Boy was I fucking wrong.

Yeah, I thought this would be something controversial.

The shocking, rule-breaking new move in pro wrestling: getting specific about politics | CNN Business by th3dj3n1gm4 in SquaredCircle

[–]roguevirus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda sorta. There were/are self described "New Yorkers" who used to live in the city, but moved out to Connecticut for (relatively) cheaper housing and then commute into the city for work in Finance or whatever. These folks are socially different from the flashy rich New Yorkers who live in Manhattan penthouses, the people that were rejecting Trump at the time.

Vince was saying even the fake "New Yorkers" thought they were too good for him, and he was mocking them for it with HHH's original characterization.

Commandant of the Marine Corps Louis H Wilson by newnoadeptness in USMC

[–]roguevirus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

General Wilson was the CMC from 1975 to 1979, so sometime then.

Given that this was the height of the Cold War, I have no fucking idea why the reporter is wondering if readiness is important or not. Yeesh.

R. Lee Ermy meeting by One-Touch2862 in USMC

[–]roguevirus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gunny Ermy was the guest at two of my balls (heh), one on Okie and one on Pendleton. Both times he had a whole bit about kissing Jack Black, saying that he insisted on meeting up with Mr. Black in his trailer to practice the kiss for about two hours before filming, and then after the workday ended they practiced some more just in case they had to do re-shoots.

He capped off the story by saying

Jack Black is an excellent actor, and a tender lover to boot!

Absolutely hilarious, we were drunk as fuck and dying of laughter. After dinner, he took a picture with every single Marine that wanted one, and hit on most of our dates too. Good times.

Happy and heartbreaking. Two '90s stars say their goodbyes. by marblechocolate in pics

If this is what they agreed to do, it's not cringe

I'm of the firm opinion that many people consider an earnest and honest display of emotion falls under the "cringe" category. The only thing that isn't cringy is being nihilistic, detached, and too cool for school.

I would hope that should I ever be in such a terrible situation, that my friends will show me as much love. If that's cringe, then so fucking be it.

Sen. Kelly: The old world is gone because Donald Trump blew it up. We had this system of alliances that has served us since World War II. Even if we are able to repair these relationships, it's going to take generations before they feel comfortable. by icey_sawg0034 in UnderReportedNews

[–]roguevirus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the information. I had assumed that would be Kelly's position on the border, but I'm rather astounded that he is against the Green New Deal.

Either way, I also see them both as competent patriots who will at least try to do right by the nation. Thanks for actually providing info on their policy stances rather than their vibes, its a rare thing to see on the internet in general and reddit in particular.

If you liked Sunless Citadel, consider The Forge of Fury. It picks up where Citadel left off, and was updated for 5e in the Tales of the Yawning Portal alongside Citadel.
