Yes, or they wouldn’t make the movies.
For larger budget franchises see James Bond, Fast and Furious, Mission Impossible, Harry Potter, Star Wars, MCU, etc. Whether or not they hold up quality while isn’t always consistent, but some do a decent job of keeping momentum.
Captain America: The winter Soldier and The Guardians of the Galaxy were the 8th and 9th released MCU filmed amd both top are tier movies in their own right.
Because it keeps them rent payment from bouncing.
They are human beings who are more frequently able to relate to people who are similar to them based on shared experiences including social pressures. I don’t think either gender is unable to relate to the other gender, but social pressure is pretty strong and leads to common outcomes that involve pressures based race, gender, and economic status among others. Someone from a wealthy family is more likely to have a certain outlook compared to someone who had food insecurity as a child.
Absolute trash to pretty solid.
Worst was a counselor for a relationship, didn’t listen to anything I said and focused entirely on who showed the most sadness instead of the issues we were having. Stereotypical blaming the man for not being able to read minds while glossing over any actual communication issues. I was supposed to figure out what was upsetting my wife without asking her and also I was blamed for not picking up vague hints that were inconsistent. Also, don’t you see how upset she is! Stop expecting her to tell you what is wrong! My wife was the one who didn’t want to go back.
Best was a one on one therapist who actually listened and helped with perspective. He helped a lot with being able to understand when to stop trying to communicate and just taking a guess when that is the omly option, plus guidance on more structured introspection. Bonus: He helped me get diagnosed with ADHD in my 30s, which really helped.
Had a couple of others who kinda listened but didn’t really help. At least they weren’t a net negative like the relationship one.
Dogwhistles are for the in group to show solidarity. Those outside not recognizing the dogwhistle or having a hard time proving it is a dogwhistle is the entire purpose.
A quarter that does not include healthcare or other benefits, which probably suck out another 20% of what they could have made if health coverage wasn’t tied to employment and has high co-pays and other costs.
Paying taxes is not a problem. The wealthy not paying taxes is a problem.
Zero interaction with the two in my experience, although I rarely even have a drink until hours after the expected duration so it has probably worn off. One drink with lunch doesn’t seem to be any different than before the meds to me either.
If later text shows that my initial reading was incorrect due to missing context or because I misread their starting point, yeah. For example, if something starts off sounding positive but context shows it is actually a dogwhistle I had not come across before I will go back and correct my votes. It rarely takes even a minute to fix a dozen or so in a chain.
It isn’t so much that I think my individual votes matter, but because I don’t like knowing I gave a positive interactions with that thing.
Same thing if I read something as a negative and find out I was wrong, gonna flip those to upvotes!
I upvoted this assuming the edit was humor, don’t you dare prove me wrong!
CBT being basically the only kind of approach to therapy that is actually empirically shown to reliably actually help most people.
Learning that as an acronym for cock and ball torture before the therapy version makes me laugh every time.
My experience with women therapists was always about how I just wasn’t paying enough attention to other people when I pointed out that the people around me weren’t consistent enough to figure out their patterns. My one therapist who was a man explained that most people are just better at handling it when they were wrong and it is fine to be wrong, plus he helped me get diagnosed with ADHD instead of telling me to just try harder. I’ll bet there are some therapists who are women who are just as good as he was, but it became pretty clear that social norms are just as hard for people who specialize in behaviors to overcome.
I want the ability to merge the display of communities that I choose, so any number of News, World News, HotNakedNews, etc. communities could be displayed as a group of communities based on a topic type as an alternative to the instance/community/subscribed groups. Maybe personal tags for communities would be useful.
Basically rumors and gossip like those spread in social media.
I have a fwend in Rome by that name!
Remember that there are a lot of circumstances that could makenit ‘unavoidable’ or shift part of the blame to the victim. A misfire and ricochet would still be called a shooting. If she was somewhere down range and a bullet missed a backstop to hit her it would still be a shooting. Maybe a child was shooting the gun in either scenario.
There are plenty of situations where a grand jury would see something as an ‘unavoidable accident’ or not want to punish whoever had control of the weapon.
Until we know more, there is always the possibility the grand jury doesn’t want to follow through based on some misguided emotional criteria instead of holding someone accountable for negligence.
My guess is that someone completely screwed up some kind of gun safety step and the shooting was unintentional. Although that should result in some kind of negligence charges, I can see Texas giving a moron with a gun a free pass as long as ‘they didn’t mean too’ or something other bullshit.
Could be a former officer.
That could be true, but he is dumb enough to not understand. Malice or ignorance are always possibilities.
The Avengers was the 5th movie. Winter Soldier was an expansion on the already expansive franchise.
