I read a bunch of webcomics, and I currently read a bunch of manga, mahwa, manhua, web novels, and yes, still some webcomics. I have some favorites, but some aren’t that good and are just junk food.
Ctrl Alt Del was never a favorite, nor something I’d check all the time, but every once in a while I’d click through it and read some of it. I probably read it similarly often as Penny Arcade, which didn’t really appeal duper heavily to me either.
Cosmere books have an interesting spin on it. First an important caveat: all powers require some sort of fuel in the cosmere universe, or some sort or store/release mechanism. Therefore while poor and rich alike can gain powers, being able to afford to use those powers can vary. Some individual series deets(all of these exist in the same galaxy, but across different planets and sometimes different levels of tech)
Mistborn starts out looking like it fits the comic, with main characters being halfbloods with noble parents. However, some of the supporting super-powered people don’t have that background, and as you go down the series some things start revealing what people believe about the powers isn’t quite true.
Stormlight doesn’t follow the bloodline thing at all, and various people of all classes and bloodlines develop superpowers, and inheriting it isn’t the mechanism at all. Money can be a limiting factor, but isn’t strictly one.
Warbeaker is somewhat more mixed. There is a power system anyone in the whole population can use, but the logistics of using it means people in power have a much easier time getting the needed resources to use it at higher levels. The resource is kinda tricky, so it isn’t something that can be regulated or even stolen, but can be gained by anyone who can convince, coerce, or pay someone for their resource(everyone is born with 1, but you need lots to be powerful).
In addition, of the 4 main protags, 2 are princesses of a minor tribelike country, one is mysterious and too much spoilers to discuss, while the 4th is treated as a minor God, but is treated that way due to a more unique power system, but also one that isn’t class based. A bit complicated but a concept explained early in the book: Returned are people who come back to life, and people worship them because of two features they have: they might dream about the near future, but won’t understand it themselves, and they can sacrifice their second life to perfectly heal any one person. They have limits I won’t go into here though.
Summary: powers in their true form do not discriminate, but situations and societal structure allows some of them to be manipulated that way.
That was like the only thing I really liked in Last Jedi. Her being completely a nobody made me look upon it more favorably when I watched it, because I assumed they’d make her related and was so impressed they didnt.
The way he speaks is worse than the looks imo, but still not as bad as it could be.
They meant opposite take on the experience. It wasn’t a positive experience, which the OP suggests.
It’s coming not from the iPhone but other phones/voip trying to convince her to unpair the phone. Thats why she got messages from several different country codes.
Arms manufacturer. In fact, a previous CIO told us he moved to the fashion company I worked at at the time because he was in a presentation where all the members seemed to be almost orgasmic over seeing the new weapons they were developing. Just his story about it so perhaps exaggerated but…
I know; check my nickname, based off my real name.
Probably. Ask a teacher.
I get exhausted with my long-windedness while I am still talking. Still, a lot of my friends either don’t mind it, or use my explicitly given permission to just interrupt me if it’s an issue.
Gotcha. You want a better class of mockery. I respect that.
Not really, in my experience, but also during new years my neighbor shot off like 15 shots into the air. I wasn’t worried at being shot at, I was worried some drunk idiots stray bullet might come through my window. Also your statements about that was sorta my point. Some of the mildest American jokes are us being fat, then racism/mistreatment of natives, then shootings, then all the shit America has pulled in other countries. UK is bad teeth, royalty, then all the shit they did to other countries. Germany is dry or non existent humor and then Nazi.
Ooh, our animals are scary is mild, sometimes they do island of criminals, but you could be known for mistreatment of Natives also. If you gotta take an L, I think scary animals is way down on the list.
If you want an honest answer, it’s just fun for us. Take it as mild ribbing. There are worse things to be remembered for.
Oh, that wasn’t me who asked you that. I just took maybe too much confusion to your statement about lentils being something you had to seek out, which I probably somewhat misunderstood as saying lentils are hard to get outside of soup or something. I don’t have an argument against veganism nor am I confused on how they get nutrients nor that some dietary changes are necessary. In other words, I probably shouldn’t have made my prior post…
So, you caveat your statement with ready-made foods, but that’s kinda disingenuous, as you’re vegan. That means you have to seek out your food in general, and it’s more likely that your food may contain lentils, like bean patties that replace beef patties for burgers. Maybe not all of them, but they definitely exist. I imagine a lot of pre-made vegan meals also probably intentionally make up for difficiencies natural to the diet.
I like to cook my own food, so everything I make could be counted as “seeking out”. Split peas, lentils, and dal are common beans I keep, along with northern beans, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, and pigeon peas.
When I ate pasta more, I also often bought lentil based pasta for a quick meal, so if you’re making anything it isn’t too hard. Also made lentils and rice often. My bean/pasta drawer(obvious none of the canned stuff):

Accidentally hit post before finishing this.
In his deposition, Owen Shroyer (Idiot who works for Alex Jones, calls himself “the cuck destroyer”, and also admitted under oath in same depo that he is a puppet) stated that he believes the first ammendment gives him the right to say whatever he wants “without consequences.”
This shows a lack of understanding (or deliberate will to understand) that no action is without consequence. It could be a good consequence, or a bad one, but by simply taking an action you affect the world, large or small. They just want to be able to do what they want no matter what it does to others and suffer no backlash whatsoever, which screams rules for thee not for me.
I’m not Vegan, but I like trying to find Vegan meals I really enjoy, or close enough. One close enough is a bulgur bowl dish, using meat replacement and shawarma seasoning, tomatoes, cucumbers, sometimes chickpeas, sometimes grilled onions, and then the nonvegan parts: goat cheese and feta. Goat cheese is mixed with a little olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice to make it a sauce. There’s no meat but ther is cheese, and it’s a nice fiberous dish that helps reduce my meat intake anyway.
I like coffees flavor (not necessarily the bitter part, but it doesn’t bother me much). It’s not really from repeated exposure: caffeine doesn’t quite work right for me, and coffee gives me anxiety and stomach issues, wo I don’t drink it often but do like the flavor. Beer is somewhat opposite: I have drank a lot of alcohol(cutting back much more nowadays) but I still find most beer not tasty… though there was this one coffee beer that was really good.
My goto is actually unsweetenee Soju, with lime added. It has a very mild flavor and the lime takes away the alcohol aftertaste.
I used to like sweet stuff but I’ve always drank green tea unsweetened, and for the most part unless it’s honey I don’t like sweeteners in tea. Coffee can go both ways, especially for caramel, and hot chocolate is sweet of course, though I haven’t had any for at least a year.
Once I gave up soda other things naturally started tasting too sweet for me, and I gave up soda in general 15-20 years ago. I drink it on occasion, but it always leaves a gross sticky syrupy feeling in mouth and throat.
