Such a rollercoaster of upvotes and downvotes.
It's actually:Professor X = Ben GurionMagneto = Menachem BeginStan Lee's interpretation of the characters was originally just very stereotypical comic hero/villain dynamics with no specific reference in mind. Although he would later claim it was a Civil Rights allegory, it was actually later writers who fleshed them out.Notably, Chris Claremont who wrote Uncanny X-Men from 75-91, has gone on record saying he based them on the two men I just mentioned, both former Israeli Prime Ministers.

Are you suggesting they should've Weekend At Bernies'd RBG?
I always assumed it came from "keyboard warrior," implying that the only thing they're doing is arguing on the internet instead of taking real action (not that it's necessarily the case, just thought that's how the term was used)
This is revisionist at best and an intentional smear at worst. Bernie bros didn't cost Hillary the election.1) She failed to campaign properly in battleground states like Wisconsin and Michigan.2) The Comey letter regarding her email server 11 days before the election did a lot of fucking damage.3) There was a literal troll campaign by Russia against her to get Trump elected
Yeah, was always the Tuesday after Labor Day and ran through the third week of June where I grew up, and that was in the 90s even
Came here for this, TY
Say you're in a majority POC area where they intentionally cut down the number of polling stations and instituted voter ID laws to make it harder for you to vote. Say it's a hot day and you're forced to stand in line outside for hours to wait. Say you're disabled.This is a very myopic point of view. If you are an able-bodied white person, it might be an easy task, but voting is always on the schedule of the establishment. Direct action can be on YOUR time
Yeah, it's common enough that like... although I don't hear it often, it wasn't an unusual word to see in this conversation
There are multiple footwear options that meet the AR 670-1 standard that they can wear, so they're similar boots but not always identical.
I mean, Bulma's been the main heroine of the series since the start, so I think her role was planned at least
I personally know that Cocaine Bear *can*. I believe wholeheatedly regardless of what you or anyone says
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind, but a tooth for a tooth will reveal the truth, and an ear for an ear makes everything clear.
Some things, but an independent fact checker found him to be 91% accurate in a 12 month analysis of his claims throughout 2025
McDonald's had the warning on their cups before the hallmark lawsuit btwThey lost despite that, because the label was an inadequate warning for the extreme danger their coffee posed
I agree wholeheartedly with your point. It's inhumane and would disproportionally hurt minorities to just cut off all the Red states, but Georgia's a purple state at this point.
On average, the US doesn't have the highest standard of healthcare compared to other developed nations, but we probably do literally have many of the world's best doctors, and I sure as hell bet Trump has access to them
I hope that's true, but all those devs being laid off, losing access to the properties they worked on and the funding they received to make games... it's still not a GOOD thing in my book. I don't want monopolies eating up every beloved franchise just to ruin them
Activision itself is part of Microsoft now, which I'd say is the actual worst offender here. Like, they've bought up so many studios just to absorb IPs into their portfolio and layoff hundreds of devs, depriving of us so many games that could've been
I do want to point out that the message that started this comment thread does contain "vote for dems because they are better."
It will ripple through the future... positively
Fucking Gestapo
Console looks like NES, but the controller is rounded like the SNES (but without enough buttons)
Oatmeal, you say?
We probably don't even know what Jesus taught is the funny thing, everything we think we know about him is basically fanfiction written decades later
Jared Leto, one of Trump's top advisers
I haven't seen any actual evidence for that claim.
It's not that I don't think the intention was nefarious, it's that I think his team likely genuinely thought they had cherrypicked an example of something going down in cost to spin their false narrative
In this case, it may just be stupidity and not malice, shockingly
I just wanna say, Mike Judge has a bachelor's in Physics and used to program fighter jets, pretty intellectual guy who just decided comedy was more his thing

Magneto = Menachem Begin
