The two characters you gave are great examples of what I’m talking about. Original Black Panther is more a white fantasy of blackness than anything else. Do Lee and Kirby takle issues unique to Africans or write about the African experience? Not in any of the OG comics I’ve read. Representation is important and what they did at that time is a positive but, it lack the depth and incite I’m talking about.

Bendis has definitely tried to cover the issues I’m talking about but, has also received criticism for how he wrote them. Some of that criticism may be just because he is a white person writing about a Black/Latinx characters experience, I’m not qualified to say. It’s definitely weird that Miles’ dad shares a name with the President of the Confederate States though.

All the smart people who used to work there probably left or where forced out and replaced with maga, making them useless.

something on Thursday I guess. IDK what LJD stands for though.

Sure, I’m not saying he doesn’t have the technical skill and knowledge to make the movie. But its like hiring a white guy to direct Black Panther, a black person would have a better understanding of the characters. I haven’t watched Thunderbolts yet but, I’m assuming it doesn’t cover social issues that ate key the X-Men. Or am I wrong? Maybe I’ll give it a watch this week if I can.

Probably end up playing the Rockets in the first round who also looks like a train wreck, so we got that going lol

Is this the right guy for X-Men, I haven’t really seem anything he’s made before. Is hiring a (straight?) rich white guy the best idea to direct a movie essentially about oppression.

Injuries in general seem like they’re at an all time high. When I started watching basketball as a kid, playing 82 games was almost the norm.

Kids are allowed to fly without an adult today.

You need the right blade and need to go very slowly but, yes.

Kids will “go mental” some times, this is unavoidable and you need to accept that to some extent.

If she’s hurting Grandma, remove her from Grandma and say “I’m not going to let you hurt Grandma” and if she goes mental sit quietly with her till she is calm. In that state she can not be reasoned with no matter how hard you try, so don’t. When she’s calm explain what she did to hurt Grandma. This needs to be done immediately after she hurts Grandma, not later. Kids that age can not link past behavior to future punishment.

Kids also find it easier to understand what to do vs what not not do. Show her how you want her to play instead of telling her what not to do.

As far as time outs go consistency is everything. If you’re consistent it will get easier over time. General do 1 minute for how old they are. 1 year old = q minute of timeout, 7 years old = 7 minutes.

Maybe look at commercial soap dispensers? Commercial products are almost always repairable and readily available. Anything electronic usually isn’t BIFL though, at least not anymore.

He live streamed it and after he was waived, double downed and said it again, on another live stream.

But, that was CLEARLY AI so he’s CLEARLY innocent lol

Did you read the body of the post and/or watch the videos I linked lol?

I think Boston vs. OKC is the most likely Finals outcome, with OKC winning and Shai being MVP.

I think the Hornets “upset” the pistons in the first round. I’ve watched a couple Hornets games and they’re looking great, plus idk is Cade will be healthy enough.

I think Lakers beat the spurs in the second round. As a Lakers fan I’m not looking forward to this matchup but, as a basketball fan its super interesting. The Spurs are clearly a better team but have basically no playoff experience. On the other hand, 4 of the 5 Lakers starters have played in the Finals before. Its the ultimate experience vs talent matchup.

If you want to speculate about that, go right ahead, but that’s all it’ll ever be.

That’s literally what this post is about, why even comment in the first place lol?

KD was far from the biggest problem with that Suns team.

Do you mean on the court, in the locker room, or both?

No, I just don’t think Fred is that much better than Reed Shepherd. It’s not like Fred is Luka or something. We’ve never seen FVV and Durant play together though, so I might be way off here. It might also be a coaching issue. That also doesn’t explain why the Suns are better this season.

What I’m asking though, is Kevin Durant just a toxic player? Every team he’s on turns to shit at some point, when is it just Durant that’s the problem. On the other hand, every team with Brooks on it seems to have great chemistry. It’s a lot easier to play good team basketball when you actually like your team.

KD Rockets: 45-29 Brooks Rockets: 52-30

KD Suns: 36-46 Brooks Suns: 41-33

The teams with KD on them have a worse record than the teams with Brooks.

It looks like Booker isn’t necessarily good, but more everyone else is absolutely terrible. Unless I’m not understanding how these scores work?

Edit: after looking it over, a lot of money for Israel, confirming Trump selections, and Crypto shit. Otherwise solid.
