I’ve only ever heard it used in pulpy adventure stories/comics like Howard’s Conan world (some of which do admittedly have some if that implicit racism common to fiction from that time). Has it become more explicitly neo-Nazi?

Y’all got any more of them x3 jokers?

There’s always a relevant xkcd

God, I spent so much time I didn’t have playing KSP.

On the plus side, I did learn the basics of rocket science, so it wasn’t a total waste of time…

My God, is there nowhere I can be safe from being reminded that my beloved SFG are utter trash this year?

Not to mention “barley in middle school”

I don’t know about you, but I think that’s pretty good for a cereal crop.

“Riker treats objects like women, man!”

This should absolutely be an album cover for a black metal or trad doom band

Edit: in fact, the branches are practically a black metal band logo already

if I only had the nerve noive

FTFY.

It’s actually not (just) the acidity. Pineapples and several other tropical fruits have an enzyme called papain that breaks down peptide bonds in a rather unique way, to the point that the texture of the meat can become quite off-putting if the enzyme is not used properly

Edit: acidic or not, it’s definitely best not to put any sensitive parts of your anatomy in pineapple juice

I think they do better at different things. I think DC does better at graphic novels and self-contained stories, but Marvel does better at ongoing stories and handling continuity (or handwaving it away).

If you haven’t read it yet, Invincible is great.

Lemire and Ellis’s runs in Moon Knight are amazing.

You also might really like Black Hammer, which is like a deconstruction/reimagining of the Silver Age Justice League (I think it’s Dark Horse, but it might be Vertigo).

Neither. All the best stuff is creator-owned these days, if you ask me. Image and Dark Horse are the biggest and best “third party candidates,” but Boom and Dynamite have since good stuff, too.

Honestly, find an author that you like and follow them, not the characters. Mignola, Lemire, Hickman, Faction or Gillen can write absolutely anything and make it compelling, and there are a ton of other interesting, unique authors it there these days.

If you want specific series or arcs, HMU with a few examples of what you like and I’m sure I can throw out a few suggestions (and if I can’t, someone else can)

Thanks! I knew I recognized the guy and the quote, but I couldn’t place it until you gave me the Banksy quote. Thierry is a real piece of work.

On a Saturday morning, no less.

Anyone who’s ever abused ketamine or DXM knows that dissociating from reality is relaxing.

After all, have you seen reality lately?

Don’t get me wrong, I love Christmas movies. Just not that one. Any movie that paints a healthy level of skepticism as a negative has got some issues in my book.

Any version of Miracle on 34th Street is gonna be a no from me, dawg. Love the actor, but that dumpster fire of a plot needs to be relegated to the dustbin of history.

I think that both of your examples only worked because there was a contemporary, more militant version of the same movement, and the peaceful protestors were seen as a more palatable alternative.

As police and military units cracked down on militant revolutionaries/protestors, the people remaining in those movements moved toward more non-violent methods just as mainstream perception grew to see non-violent protest as more reasonable.

So the non-violent movement was pivotal in both cases, but I didn’t think non-violent protest accomplishes either goal on its own.
