Let’s start with Vodka. What a fucking waste. Vodka, at it’s best, is supposed to be flavourless. So you’re already off to a terrible start. If you’re asking for a Vodka Martini you’re asking for Strong Vermouth.

So let’s get that out of the way. You need the standard gin. Gin is delicious. There are many different Gins to choose from. Gin has actual flavor. I like Hendricks, but try and figure out which Gun you like best. Beefeater is great for a gin & tonic, might not work as well in a Martini. Try a few different options.

Now we’ve got Gin and vermouth. Those two work together beautifully.

Now I like a good olive. I say make that fucker dirty. Extra dirty. OLIVE ME THE FUCK UP! That’s what I want. You want it straight up? Fine. I think it’s packing but it’s the traditional way and I won’t complain. You want a cocktail onion? That’s called a Gibson and I ain’t complaining.

But GIN THAT FUCKER UP. Fuck off with your weak ass Vodka Martini. I don’t care if it’s Grey Goose or some other “fancy” shit. That ain’t no Martini.

Satan’s Maggoty Cum Fart has this right. A gin martini, specifically Hendricks has it right. Dirty is ideal.

The problem is that Trump doesn’t need authority, he doesn’t actually do anything. He needs the protections of the title. He allows things to happen and signs documents put in front of him.

Now if no one is enforcing anything then being an “independent contractor” might enough, but as laws currently exist and the precedent currently being set, he needs the actual title of President.

I would agree the cats out of the bag, so there may not be anything that can be done. The keys aren’t going to those who can afford a server farm, the door is wide open for anyone with a computer.

The interesting follow up to this is what Disney does to a model trained on their films. Sure lawyers, but how much will they actually be able to do?

Basically, yes.

If I were an alien and you walked up to me and said, “Good Morning”, and I looked around and everyone else said “Good Morning”, I would respond with "Good Morning ". I don’t know what is “Good” or “Morning”, but I can pretend I do with the correct response.

In this example “Grok” has no context on what is going on in the background. Musk may have done nothing. Musk may have altered the data sets heavily. However the most popular response, based on what everyone else is saying, is that he did modify the data. So now it looks like he did, because that’s what everyone else said.

This is why these tools have issues with facts. If 1 + 1 = 3, and everyone says that 1 + 1 = 3, then it assumes 1 + 1 = 3.

It’s the exact reason you hear assholes complaining that “conservatives are censored”.

Oh? Which “conservative” value was censored? Was it the bigotry?

Super Metroid is definitely the gold standard. Zero Mission definitely feels like it uses Super Metroid as its base. The same is also true for AM2R.

I think if you are getting into the series for the first time, Zero Mission, AM2R, Super Metroid & Metroid Fusion is the order to go in. They all share a similar set of gameplay & graphics.

I think the 3DS Metroid II remake is great, but in terms of cohesiveness, it’s going to stand out among the four games.

That being said it’s made by the same developers who will then go on to make Metroid Dread, which is probably my favorite Metroid game behind Super Metroid, which is the best.

I completely agree and to I’ll add that this also applies to Metroid II. As Metroid II was on the Game Boy the game resolution is far too small to ever revisit. For a side scrolling game you can barely see what is in front of you.

Luckily the fan game AM2R, or the slightly less good but still excellent 3DS remake do for Metroid II what Zero Mission did for the original.

I mean I’m hoping all communication is over SSL/TLS so he would likely only have DNS information.

Not to say this isn’t absolutely horrible and unnecessary, but it isn’t likely as bad as it could be. (Unless Starlink does some man-in-the-middle attacks, and/or has full control of the White House systems to install Starlink certificates, which is a possibility.)

Just trusting them to pay you out of their own pocket?

Assuming US, it actually depends on the state (may be all states, but I can only speak of those I’ve lived in). The law is that the money must go into a separate interest bearing account and that is the money that is to be returned. So the money isn’t supposed be their own pocket.

I mean this in the nicest way, but your cat would make an excellent replacement for the current governor.

Bro fr just making things up.

Yes, “you think” based on… What?

My source is the CEO of DC, your source is…?

Gunn was clear why the screen time was limited, they hadn’t yet decided how they wanted to use Batman.

Of course that’s specifically for their universe.

There is no quote of him saying that the Matt Reeves Batman film can’t do X. Or that The Penguin TV show couldn’t include Batman. In fact, here’s another article about Batman not showing up in The Penguin . No one is taking about Disney/Marvel being the reason.

And in case the thought process is, well maybe they don’t want to talk about that stuff, here is an article talking about Spider-Man not being in a live action TV series .

If Disney/Marvel we’re involved with Batman, we would know. There would be articles. At the moment, no such article exists. If you want to believe something based on no information, that’s fine, just be aware that there is nothing to support that claim.

My point is that they don’t require permission anymore. Disney does not own Batman in any of his recent work. Batman can pop up anywhere and anytime and Disney does not need to OK anything, they are not involved.

So the argument that the reason we don’t see Batman on TV and movies recently is because of Disney is false. Both because Disney is not involved and because yes, yes we have seen him on both big and small screen recently.

There are no existing articles to support the idea that Disney owns/controls current day Batman.

There are rumors that they do, but even those rumors confuse things like the Gotham TV series airing on Fox having anything to do with who owns the rights to Batman. For example as I stated earlier, an animated Batman show ran on Amazon, that doesn’t mean Amazon owns the rights to Batman either, just those specific streaming rights.

I know you’ve said you’re not convinced… But then you also called it a rumor that won’t die?

For Creature Commandos here is a whole interview where James Gunn says Batman again and again. He has made creative decisions to limit his appearance, but it’s 100% Batman.

If course that article isn’t even 100% correct best we actually see a dead Batman earlier in the same series as part of a premonition.

Also James Gunn isn’t just “some guy” he’s the Co-chairman and Co-CEO of DC Studios. This isn’t Kevin Feige having to drag out Amy Pascal or Sony Everytime they mention Spider-Man. This is a clear statement.

Disney does not control the rights to Batman. MAYBE they have some residual rights to older content, but nothing recent.

Porter’s advantage is her ability to communicate. I think she could easily convince moderates and Republicans to swing her way.

Up against someone like Harris it would be a tough battle. Harris has the money and is already well established both state and country-wide.

The animated Batman cameo was Creature Commandos.

The Amazon show was Batman: Caped Crusader.

James Gunn recently (a year ago) debunked the rumor that Disney owns Batman in some way, https://screenrant.com/batman-tv-rights-james-gunn-disney-rumor/

Batman is a DC character, not Marvel. So Disney doesn’t own them.

Batman had a live action film in 2022, with a sequel in production.

Batman cameoed in an animated TV series earlier this year.

Batman had his own animated TV series on Amazon last year, with a second season planned.

Batman appears in animated films about once a year.

Nothing new

It’s 99% new and different from the MCU. The 1% are small nods to the MCU.

For example in both Peter is out and finds a broken DVD player, then he brings it home and tells May how excited he is that someone threw away a perfectly functioning (obviously broken) DVD player. All the while missing that his future mentor is on the couch, talking to May.

Or as the series progresses we learn that certain events that occured in the MCU also exist in this world.

Overall however it is a completely new Spider-Man. (Yes, Spider-Man interacts with well know Spider-Man characters, but not following any previously written story.)

Also the source is “one user”.

but one user asked their Grandfather – who only get their news from Facebook – what was going on, and the relative echoed conspiracies about moon creatures attacking with brainwaves.

That’s the same level of journalism going on here.
