    Television Wait ... so X-Men's Onslaught was hated by fans?

    You're probably thinking of back in the 90s when Marvel outsourced out the Avengers (remember this isn't like now with the MCU now, the Avenger's were B-list compared to X-Men and Spider-Man), Hulk, and Fantastic Four to Jim Lee and Rob Liefield over at Image Comics for a year but didn't want...

    Movies Henry Cavill vs. Christopher Reeve - Who played Superman the best?

    I feel this thing is nuanced in terms of what interpretation of Superman and even Clark Kent someone might have and prefer. Reeves depiction fits the more classic boy scout Superman and bumbling Clark Kent interpretation. But the more contemporary interpretations do have Superman and Clark...

    Did this chinese guy go too far?

    Supposedly the woman that runs up at the end to explain the situation is part of a local crime watch group and has other videos posted of her calling out pickpockets - https://www.tiktok.com/@cittadininondistratti2

    Asian Noodle Soups

    Did it become hipster/foodie in your area? Ramen's always been like that for me, it's something like 30% more expensive for half the portion size compared to every other noodle type here.

    Are you for or against electric vehicles?

    I don't have an opinion on the vehicles themselves either way. People should just buy whatever works for them. In the long run current ICE vehicles are going to be phased out if not for EVs then some other alternative. I however greatly dislike current EV subsides as they tend to a regressive...

    Movies James Gunn's SUPERMAN (Logo Revealed, post #596)

    Hopefully they can at least salvage Pierce Brosnan/Doctor Fate from the Black Adam movie so we don't lose another great casting that happened with Mark Strong/Sinestro from Green Lantern.

    [Video] Man pranks Wal-Mart employees by telling them they're fired.

    I don't know if one should generalize. There are at least it seems youtube prankers who focus on neutral or even positive pranks, including giving money away directly to people as the prank which would be on the opposite end of the spectrum of this. Look up ones where they go up to people and...

    I lost a road rage altercation via stupidity

    His kids died of AIDS and he wasted more time than you did having to come back to tell you. You achieved your goal of getting gas. Chalk it up as win and have some sympathy for his loss.

    Hector In The Film Troy. Poor Guy....

    At least he was fighting on behalf of his family. The real people to feel sorry for are those nameless commoners who die on both sides due to the squabbles between the rich and powerful.

    News Gas Station Sued for Selling Cheaper Gas

    The reason these types of laws exist is to prevent predatory pricing practices designed specifically at harming other businesses which can in the long run stifle competition. A typical scenario envisioned is with a bigger competitor selling under cost to drive competitors out of the market, at...

    The modern equivalent of a millionaire is.....

    This is a complex debate so I'm not going to go into it here. Inflation has no fixed defined measurement, nor does cost of living, as it's a soft science. Did you know that CPI itself is not even a fixed formula with fixed inputs? CPI is also not even the formula used by the US Fed for...

    The modern equivalent of a millionaire is.....

    Decamillionaire or pentamillionaire. Those inflation calculators that use CPI or equivalents way understate inflation especially in the context of wealth growth. Using S&P 500 from 1985 to 2022 would mean 1 million is equal to 26 million now. Dow Jones would be 28 million. Even if your...
