    I agree he should be a little farther right, but his origin story is all about how his injury specifically prevented him from doing surgery anymore. Plus some iterations of him with the time stone might not have thought about medicine in hundreds of years. His magic also seems to not be healing focused. So I kinda get why he is under qualified comparatively

  • If I wanted to die in a viking funeral, like getting put on a boat and set ablaze while I am in the middle of the sea can this be done? Or is it even legal?

    Generally speaking in America it's very difficult to obtain custody of a corpse after the authorities have it in their possession. While there are many types of funeral options viking burials are not one. Regular fire does not burn hot enough to fully burn a human body, which is why cremation uses special equipment. Generally nobody wants partially burnt corpses in their river, so you're either going to be illegally polluting or going to international waters. Generally you'll need to convince some combination of funeral director, medical examiner, coroner, hospital director, and the police to give you custody of the body. It seems unbelievable to me that you'll be able to convince all those people to give you a body for a viking funeral

    On to illegal ways you could accomplish this: not reporting a dead body is not only a crime but also makes you incredibly suspicious for fraud at a minimum and murder at the max. Not acquiring a death certificate will make dealing with any estate very difficult. Stealing the body from wherever it is located will likely get you charges for defacing a dead body. You could bribe some people to look the other way but if that fails that's also a crime

    In short, no you can't really do it. However, this is America, so presumably with enough money to the right people you could probably work it out. But we're talking .01% level money and connections

    Sure, we might have record unemployment, inflation can be low, and by most metrics the American economy is doing well. However people are feeling squeezed. They're spending more on rent, groceries, health insurance, other necessities than they have in their entire lives. Most people don't have the vocabulary to describe that economically so they use words they've heard. In most people's heads inflation=things are more expensive. So they complain about inflation even if that's inaccurate

    Some retro suggestions:

    • Super Mario Galaxy 1/2 - it sounds like your cousin is probably too old for this but this has one of the best "younger sibling" modes. They help collect and shoot bits. Which ultimately doesn't matter much
    • The Legend of Zelda 4 Swords Adventure - It's basically multi-player Link to the Past! Bonus points if you dig up a GameCube, link cables, and GBAs
    • Kirby Super Star - a mix of competitive and coop games
    • Super Mario World (any) - you take turns but if you don't go 6 levels without dying to his one it can be fun
    • Halo 1-3 + ODST - Great classic shooters, the campaigns are customizable for difficulty, and a little kid probably loves alien shooters
    • Borderlands 1/2 - Looter shooters with a sense of irreverance
    • Dead Rising 2/Off the Record and 3 - Zombie hoard murdering with combo weapons
    • The Simpsons '91, Battletoads, TMNT, Streets of Rage, etc - Beat Em Ups are great for multi-player

    One thing to consider is that delivery and takeout are significantly more popular than they were 4 years ago. Some of these chains either anticipate or encourage you to heat your cookies just before you eat them and halfway cooking them gives the best results. A place just down the road from me encourages 1 minute on high in the air fryer or 3 in a toaster oven before eating

    I did. I voted in the primary for a normal-ass guy and then voted for him again in the house. The Shapiros party gerrymandered him out of his office. Sorry you guys keep voting for lunatics, but you reap what you sow

    Honestly reading through everything I don't even know if that's the worst part. These stuck out to me:

    "Get that f*cking commie bastard off the National Mall!,” Robinson wrote about the dedication of the memorial to King in Washington, DC, by then-President Barack Obama.

    “I’m not in the KKK. They don’t let blacks join. If I was in the KKK I would have called him Martin Lucifer Koon!"

    And in my opinion the worst one so far:

    "Slavery is not bad. Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would bring it back. I would certainly buy a few"

    Reading the headline my first thought was "wait, didn't I solo old content for gear and mounts?" but here I see this is about soloing current content. As an ex-wow current FFXIV player I think this is a great move. Giving players access to more content is great, especially if it's story relevant. They still keep high-end gear and challenges for hardcore players and there's still regular progression content for everyone else

    I love being able to throw 150 books into my backpack, pocket, or briefcase. Especially when it means that all of them have the same font, text size, and margins. I bought mine when libraries closed down with covid and it's one of the best $100 purchases I've made

    2001 A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke: I'm about 70% of the way in and it's pretty good. I really enjoy reading early/pre-space age stories because the ideas about what would and wouldn't work in space are so fascinating. The way he talks about moon life, interstellar travel times/methods, and more show so much creativity. It's also interesting to see the difference between movie HAL9000 and book HAL9000. I'm excited to watch the movie again after I'm done

    When someone links to a community if you open the post and then follow the link it works fine. If you're browsing with cards and try to follow the link from the card without opening the actual post it attempts to open the link in a browser which fails because the link is not the full URL. It would be nice if clicking the link would take me to that community on that instance, which is what it does when you open the post and click the link
