  1. It would be well within comic-book precedent to call her, "Captain Wonder."
  2. My sister-in-law has a knack for distorting common expressions, but in a way where you can see the logic in how she got there. My favorites: "Shoot Bill" instead of "fire at will." "Hindsight is 50-50." and "It ain't over 'til the fat lady's dead."
  3. I'd say it says something to your credit, actually. That you must be a man of exceptionally sweet temperament and patient disposition.
  4. That's kind of sad, but also fortunate for you.
  5. Nice image shopping overall, but IMO the long sleeves and bare thighs don't really match.
  6. The fact that a black man with his name won by the votes of many other black people, probably has Hitler's soul screaming in Hell.
  7. Try pretending you're really constipated, and make an appropriate face. 😣
  8. It's not a matter of terminology, it's an overview of the political spectrum. The discourse over what's considered the norm in the United States has skewed so far to the right today, many Americans don't even understand what "left" means anymore. The term itself has become a bogeyman, used by politicians and special interest groups to scare the populace into supporting them. Ironically, America generally isn't as "rightist" as it may appear. Surveys show that many policies that would be considered "leftist" enjoy wide popular support in America in and of themselves: greater tax contribution from the rich, affordable health care for all, more support for small business, lowered tuition fees for college students, affordable children's daycare, and the like. It's just when those policies get lumped in with the bogeyman that people start to balk.
  9. Some actors have made a career out of playing themselves in every role, e.g. John Wayne.
  10. The new strain appears to be more contagious than the previous one, but there's no evidence yet that it's more "virulent," i.e. more severe and dangerous in its effects.
  11. Not saying that you meant this as other than a joke, but anyone who thinks Joe Biden leans to the left is mired in propaganda. Anywhere else in the developed world, Biden would be considered right of center.
  12. I always try to mentally separate the actors from the characters they play. Some of the most beloved fictional characters have been played by real-life fools and SOBs.
  13. Something else that doesn't change when the calendar does. Stupid.
  14. Not really surprising, since it's been mentioned several times, starting here: You did give us a pithy outline, Haven, thanks.
  15. Reduced Endurance is specifically excluded from the list of Advantages that affect Damage Class, so has no bearing on the STR employed to increase damage. See 6E2 p. 97, and generally the chapter on, "Determining Damage."
  16. I would urge you to try not to stress yourself, dude. Some things deserve and need to be outraged over, but most don't. All your nobly motivated efforts to enlighten us will end prematurely if you give yourself an aneurysm.
  17. Sometimes it's hard to make a mental separation between how this year affected some of us, versus how it affected all of us collectively. If we and those we love escaped serious suffering we should be grateful for that, but not forget to empathize for those who didn't, yet not let that empathy drag us down. It can be a tricky line to walk.
  18. I agree, it has to be a mistake in the text. By 6E rules it adds up to 4D6, and that's how it's written on Pantera's 5E debut character sheet in Champions Universe: News Of The World, with the same Strength and HKA at 0 END.
  19. The patient knew he had a very contagious and potentially deadly disease, and deliberately engaged in activity that would spread that disease to another person, and thence to everyone that person comes in contact with. That's endangering the public health.
  20. As long as I can remember, it's been one of the great debates among nerd fantasies: If you could pick one, would you choose Ginger, or Mary Ann? I was always Team Mary Ann. (Now I'll wait for the comments purporting to come from Team Lovey Howell.)
  21. I was afraid all your head-banging left you wandering off with amnesia! Great to see you here again, Boz! :D
