So, you are saying, that Marvel is reacting to social influencer Cernovich and his power, not the content?

i'm saying they are reacting to manufactured outrage by a rape apologist who likes to accuse 'liberals' and 'hollywood elites' of being child-fuckers. historically, whether or not these claims have any basis on reality gas never really mattered. they're obviously reacting to the 'contents' of the jokes, but i am fairly positive a lot of the 'outrage' is coming from people who do not care beyond the fact they have the opportunity to 'expose' an 'sjw'.

Sometimes I like to be inside and sometimes I like to be outside. I also like it when it feels good. I’m a complicated fellow. I also love to laugh.

Ridley Scott is the greatest director alive, and it has nothing to do with Alien or Blade Runner, those are pretty low on his accomplishments list imho.

Yeah, if this were an Al Franken deal where people were slowly coming out of the woodwork to accuse Gunn of an actual crime, I'd say it was warranted, but holy poo poo dumb decade-old tweets are a stupid thing to get up in arms about, especially when the person who made them stopped, apologized, and went on to be pretty cool on the whole. Maybe it's my liberal self-loathing talking but as much as I want to hold people to a higher standard, it's hard for me to care about something this minor when the right has no problem keeping actual pedophiles, rapists and abusers around.

Being outside when it's cold, think -15 Fahrenheit, is a lot better than when it's hot, because you don't get sweaty and can just warm up once inside without needing to shower. Assuming you don't get actual frost bite or hypothermia ofc.

Take control of the German government and use my new dictatorial powers to install an air conditioning unit in every house? What are you even trying to say?

I have nothing to do with this decision. Are window/standalone air conditioners not a thing, or are they just too expensive a thing? (They are definitely expensive to run. Worth the price, in the end, but I have to remind myself of that regularly every month when my electric bill comes due.)

I feel like basically no one should be fired for the stupid poo poo they say on their private twitter accounts (unless its like, actually illicit/illegal stuff) but most of society has gone down the road of marking every word that anyone has ever said for use later on just in case they have a grudge to settle.

They open out or tilt out, you can't open it vertically to put a window unit in. Guy Goodbody posted:oh poo poo, I forgot, nothing is ever your fault sorry for not being able to control the weather?

If Gunn endorsed rape, fire him. If he made a crude joke, do not fire him. Seems simple enough.

There are some mini-swampcooler type things that I was interested in but the reviews say they are trash. Like one that got heavily advertised had a 1.2/5 star average out of thousands of reviews. If you spent a few grand you could probably get something that could work but your electric bill would be staggering.

I've walked dozens of blocks in -20 degree weather, and while it was absolutely miserable it didn't kill me. I forget how cold it got during the last Chicago polar vortex (I think we were at something ridiculous like -50 with the wind chill), but I do recall it being physically painful to breathe even with a bunch of scarves in front of my face. Still made the mile long walk home from the dentist though. Mentholated freshly cleaned teeth with that level of cold outside almost made me cry.

Exactly, when it is that cold you will die, unless you wear the right clothing that extends your lifespan for several hours. and even then, you can't sleep. Sleep in that cold is death!

I drank enough beer for a lifetime at the second biggest beer festival thing behind oktoberfest in stuttagart, about 8 and a half liters in 4 hours (the half was from when I drunkenly grabbed the girl next to me's mug thinking she wouldn't even notice [she did and was pissed]). Overall Germany is great, but they don't pay for poo poo (i took a more senior position here from my previous switzerland job and make 30% of what I made a 3 hour train way away). Switzerland is superior in every way imaginable, until you get over to the french side by geneva. Zurich is the greatest city in the world. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 23:02 on Jul 21, 2018 |

Sleep in that cold is death! Yes, that is what someone who lives here knows instinctually. During winter you must have and seek shelter. On Germany, you don't need to go to beer tent. You can buy all sorts of cool doppelbocks and such everywhere, enjoy it. Congratulations, it sounds like you know what you want, a high paying job in Zurich. Many struggle with that question.

doverhog posted:Cernovich is irrelevant, the issue is the content of the actual jokes and how Marvel reacts to that, or should be anyway. imuo the real lesson from the gunn debacle is that whenever you're posting from a verified social media account that you personally directly linked to your identity you should always treat every post like you're in front of a live studio audience whose comments are also getting taped for some late night talk show to be broadcast worldwide later on, i just don't see any other way of looking at using online public platforms like twitter or whatever especially when you're going out of your way to attach your real name to your posts it doesn't matter if the person who 'digs' up your dirty laundry - from a platform designed to rapidly spread information publicly in a way that also puts it on physical record so it feels odd to call it digging - is some kind of awful wannabe political deacon, a jaded ex looking for petty revenge, an ambitious colleague who wants to take your job by ratting you out or someone who legitimately believes that de-normalizing pedophilia jokes will make the world a better place the point is it's unwise to treat verified social media accounts like you used to be able to treat the internet back when it was a lot more anonymous when the whole point of tying your real ID to an account voluntarily is that you want the whole world to know that it's really you making those posts and so you should be prepared for dealing with the reactions of the public, which possibly includes your future employers, to stuff you bothered to give your personal seal of approval to

I've looked into it some more and it appears that Disney bowed down to money, and political pressure from the Trump pedophile rapist republican side. Shame on Disney and Marvel. *remember, Trump is a rapist, and probably a pedophile, ask him about his friend Jeffrey Epstein.
