I also like how a selling point to laser hair removal is "I save SOOOOO much time!" Because multiple trips to the place don't count? The same lady dj had a similar ad after her first baby, where she bragged that despite being a mom with a newborn, her legs were sexy smooth because of all the time she didn't have to spend plucking or tweezing or shaving or whatever, which gave her more mom time.

I just like the name because it implies the idea of Chocolate by Accident. "What happened to this cement we were making?" "I don't know but it smells delicious!" Hey you got chocolate in my peanut butter

It might be irrational, but over their lives women get subtle and not so subtle messages about their physical appearance and body hair is one of them. It can become really deep seated to the point that some women get very self conscious, and I think that any physical discomfort (feeling the hairs on their legs or something) gets amplified. My sister in law made sure she had her makeup done before she left to the hospital to deliver her son because she "didn't want to look fodonga[frumpy] " when giving birth. I once dated a woman who said the reason she didn't wear thongs was because she didn't want the hospital staff to think she was a slut when cutting through her clothes if she was in a car accident or something

I guess the only way is to not wear any underwear as to not signal anything I think we all get weird stuff like that though. I hate turning around in a public space, and still keep walking after I notice I'm going the wrong way to try to more smoothly transition to heading back because I feel like I'd look dumb to people. It's irrational

Like, I'm in no way defending the mock-up, its terrible on pretty much every conceivable level, but its their "superhero names", not the title of their shows, so Luke Cage is Power Man, and Jessica Jones is Jewel (although thats not a name she really went by in the comics, its the name she was shown in flashbacks to have used in her short lived costumed heroing before meeting Kilgrave). I'm not understanding why thats yourbiggest issue with it?

Oh my bad, it was the late 80s wikipedia posted:In contrast, the Casefiles, begun a decade earlier in 1987, was aimed at an older audience than the Hardy Boys Mystery Stories.[69] In the new series, the Hardys' work with a secret government organization simply called the "Network", with which they collaborate to "infiltrate organized crime, battle terrorists and track down assassins around the world."[69] The Hardys' personalities are portrayed as more separate and distinct, and they sometimes fight; in the first of the series, Dead on Target, for example, the brothers brawl after Frank tries to restrain Joe after Joe's girlfriend, Iola Morton, is killed by a car bomb.[69] In general, the series is more violent, and the Hardy Boys carry various guns;[70] Lines like "Joe! Hand me the Uzi!" are not out of character.[71] Barbara Steiner, a Casefiles ghostwriter, describes a sample plot outline: "I was told that Joe Hardy would get involved with a waitress, a black widow kind of character, and that Joe would get arrested for murder. I was told the emphasis was on high action and suspense and there had to be a cliff-hanger ending to every chapter."[h]

Zaphod42 posted:IDK I saw all of Jessica Jones and I don't remember "jewel" ever being mentioned, must have missed that. Nah, wasnt mentioned in the show at all, and its unlikely to be in the future either (its a part of the backstory in the comic, when shes introduced it was already in the past, and in the show they change that part of the backstory) . The closest they came is the "super suit" that Trish tried to give Jessica, which was a very close match to the "Jewel" costume. The name "Power Man" gets a nod in one episode of Luke Cage I think, but even in the comics he's been better known as Luke Cage to everyone for longer than anyone really called him Power Man (because its a drat stupid name). I got my threads mixed up and thought I was in the Netflix marvel thread, so it didnt occur to me that you werent a comicbook nerd who would know that already!

Okay, unprovoked Recent-Archie-History Time. Not too long ago, publisher Archie Comics was in a weird patch. The guy who ran the company died, and two family members of high level executives took over. They apparently nearly drove the company to the ground, workers were alienated left and right, lawsuits were flying, at one point Hell's Angles were hired as Security/Intimidation task force, etc. In the midst of this breakdown and restructuring, they released a comic exploring alternate time lines where Archie married either Veronica or Betty. The talent behind the book actually took a lot of fun with the ridiculous premise, and was actually well received. It even resolved in a storyline where Archie dies taking a bullet for the then recently introduced gay character Kevin Keller. A kind of turning point came in joke alternate cover they made, featuring the characters as zombies in a pastiche of old horror covers, titled 'Afterlife with Archie'. Now, rolling back a bit, this weird time in Archie Comics was also beset with weird crossovers (presumably due to increased interest online in the Archie Meets The Punisher Comic), and lead to a number of issues where Archie Met Kiss, athlete Michael Strahan, Glee. Now surprisingly the Glee crossover is a kind of linchpin in the story of Archie Comics proper, as they brought on a writer on the show Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who also had experience writing for Marvel, to write the crossover. A year later, he was named the company's Chief Creative Officer. And between point A and point B, there was something of a revolution. Going back to that joke cover, 'Afterlife with Archie', it became a kind of a big deal on the internet as a funny 'What if?'. And in response to that, Archie Comics started to develop a comic exploring the concept. They set the artist of the original comic cover, Francesco Francavilla, and Roberto to create an ongoing comic to based on it. In October 2013, the comic series 'Afterlife with Archie' was released. It was a surprisingly mature take on the concept, that both acted as a surprising desecration of the Archie characters, but an even more shocking well told drama exploring the end of days. The characters were there, fitting their archetypes and relationships, but were developed into more fully fleshed out characters that they had ever been in Archie proper. They died, they killed, they made mistakes that held long term effects and remorse. It was their only comic to have ever been sold only to comic shops, as well as the only one to have carried a Mature Audiences only disclaimer, and it was a huge success. So, stuck with something that worked, Archie under Roberto's leadership branched out into other opportunities, not in Horror comics, but in exploring the characters outside of the confines of the the Riverdale created in 1941. There was a Sabrina comic, re-contextualizing it as a satanic 1960's period piece complete with animal sacrifice and demonic husbandry, a crossover with the Predator, contrasting the Happy-Go-Lucky world of Riverdale with the visceral violence of the film series, a relaunch of Archie Proper, a still humorous re-imagining of the characters as contemporary teens told in a modern serialized style by living comics legend Mark Waid, and a litany of other titles ranging the spectrum. This also leads to the CW series. Now, CCO Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa having experience in the film and television world started pitching a film adaptation that would play with the characters, the way his company had been playing with them for years in comics. This project evolved into the series on CW, which recasted the characters in a Twin Peaks style murder mystery as well as a CW style teen drama. It has apparently been well recieved and wildly successful. Which is unfortunate for fans like me, as Roberto is now the head of Archie's creative division, lead writer and showrunner on Riverdale, writer of the Riverdale spinoff comics, and writer of both the Afterlife with Archie and Sabrina horror comics. And as someone who only reads the horror comics, I'm kinda left out in the cold. In conclusion, things got bad, then they got weird, and now things are weird and they're going really well.
