In case anyone might be wondering why such a senseless thing is happening, here is a history lesson - https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/05/20/314231260/cia-says-it-will-no-longer-use-vaccine-programs-as-cover

Dave Ramsey is typical right-wing evangelical cult leader, but instead of dipping directly into religion, he is a conservative financial coach.

I searched for him on the youtube app and got Matt Walsh "What is a woman?" adverts, which really says everything one needs to know about the guy.

That said: Should you pay off debt? Yes, absolutely. Is debt the devil and you should destroy all your credit cards and never take loans ever like Ramsey advises? lmao no.

We know from the movies that Stan Lee driving a truck couldn't budge it, nor could Stark's Iron Man glove when he was wearing it. To me that signals that inanimate objects being wielded by others can't move it. However it was also on the floor of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier at one point so that could be indicative that intent is important too. Hence I'd posit that Thor could leave it on a truck without the owner knowing, and it could be driven around, or leave it on a elevator and the guy calling the elevator from the ground floor isn't going to end out staring at wreckage.

Vision isn't being wielded by others. One can also argue that the absence of darkness in Vision made him worthy, however, he didn't get powers, so I feel like that rules that theory out. I think the hammer seeing Vision as both not alive along with not acting upon it as a vessel of something/someone else attempting to move it is the more logical take. Basically Vision is the aforementioned elevator in this scenario. Ground Floor, Hammers.

Or the writers could be implying something in the hammer handover scene, and poorly writing elsewhere. Take your pick really.

The obvious question there is what happens when you leave the hammer on Ego the living planet

The hammer is effectively immovable by sentient beings. IIRC, if Thor left it on a elevator it'd still go up and down, unless it was a magic talking one. Edit: Note sentient and living. Vision could lift it in the movie. He's not alive so no powers though.

Magneto can move the hammer with his omega level mutant magnetism powers. He isn't worthy though, so no Thor powers. Hulk has also moved it, with raw strength. He similarly wasn't worthy.

If its any consolation wrt Harley riders, the company is losing customers to old age, and attempts to appeal to the younger generation just get the old one (their existing base) mad enough to protest loudly against it, leading to the rep of it being a weekend warrior bike for grandpa to live his never was (as opposed to has been) biker fantasy. Not gonna stop a particular brand of pencil-dicks from making their cars loud and obnoxious, ofc, but still, take w's where you can.

Okay Wile E. Coyote.

In that case its not targeted at a specific state, just at ensuring all states hold the same standard wrt drunk driving.

Slamming should only be done by Onyx, and/or be followed by welcoming to the jam (more particularly the space jam.)

No system is 100% resistant to shitters.

Life appointment was supposed to get judges to focus on issues and not make decisions with re-election in mind. Supreme court in the U.S. has shown us how that is going.

On one hand, you should be safe in jail to serve your time. We aren't animals and treating criminals inhumanely or allowing as such is just perpetuating a cycle.

On the other hand? Fuck that guy.

Presume he had just ate a power pellet, of course.

Followup matchups for your consideration:

  1. Slimer, from "Ghostbusters"
  2. Sadako, from "The Ring"
  3. Freddy Krueger, from "Nightmare on Elm Street"
  4. The clown from "It"
  5. A ring wraith from "Lord of the Rings"

For the sake of discussion lets presume it both (a) exists and (b) has been translated to a language you know.

Slightly late for President's Day in America, apologies.


Saw this article about the presidents being rated. William Henry Harrison came in 41st.

The thing to know about him is he was president for a month and then he died. That was his impact. He died. He didn't noticeably improve or worsen things (Based on his inaugural speech he might've been bad but he never got to act on it) because he had no time to because he died. Which consequently means he should be the null point we can base every other president on.

If the country was left even slightly better then you got it? Then you did a better job then Harrison. Was it left worse? Then you did worse. Did 40 presidents all make the country better and only 4 leave it worse? Tough to believe.
