Iuz the Evil

It's not Steam only. GOG and direct from Paradox are available.

release on April 24, 2018? I'm literally setting up a gaming PC for this and the fall release of Mechwarrior 5. Been 17 years.

Damn.

I'm so excited

Wait, what? I had considered myself pretty informed on a number of issues. Immigration Court being a civil proceeding and the implications of that for detained children had honestly never occurred to me. Holy crap. That's incredibly awful.

Heroes: Vibe, Vixen, and Violet Mission: Historical research unconvered by Element Lad in the previous issue results in Violet of the LSH returning to prevent interference with the timeline of the 31st century. Vibe and Vixen jump into the action after mistaking her for a criminal when she breaks into Kord Industries to remove temporally displaced technology planted by the true villains of the issue, Brainiac (not his descendent Brainiac-5).

Huh. Not sure what game you watched. Mayfield didn't lose that game, the Oklahoma defense did.

Hela in the MCU is not a goddess, as the Asgardians are depicted as advanced aliens rather than deities. Second only to Feanor among the elves, that'd be in the Silmarilion. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Galadriel+equal+to+Feanor If the phial is gone, then Hela is dead. Depicted in the movie and over and done.

I think it is an extreme stretch to cherry pick the abilities of a Ring of Power to only effect "Morgoth and his creations". If the Rings were so limited the series was a huge waste of time, as the One Ring could only really corrupt other ring wearing individuals. Nenya's purview is protection. Specifically against evil. That'll do for at least two of the three entities (Hela and the Red Skull). Unless as mentioned above you subscribe to the notion that all the Rings of Power have a limited power set far below what is described in the novels. She wielded the "power of Nenya, Galadriel's Ring of Power, which only Sauron himself could have overcome. The elves, led by Thranduil of Mirkwood and Galadriel of Lorien led an assault on Dol Guldur and Galadriel herself threw down its walls, and laid its pits bare." As none of those three are Sauron or Morgoth, they cannot overcome the power of Nenya. QED. Whether she made it or not, Galadriel possessed the Phial. And provided numerous other crafted elven gifts. So she had access to a mini Silmaril canonically. And she had cast back Sauron and his minions. And was second only to (or in one reference equal to) Feanor. That's First Era magic there son, and none of those three MCU villains save possibly Hela can stand against it, and even she can't overcome it unless greater than Sauron (which is ludicrous).

The Lady of Light is probably the most powerful of the six listed entities. With Nenya, she's protected against evil barring Sauron showing up on the other side so that's a pretty big advantage. She also has foretelling, prophecy, scrying and produces magic gear for allies on top of the aforementioned defeat of the greatest evils of her era. I'll take any team she's on. Edit: First age opponent armed with the phial (lightweight Silmaril powered by the light of the one in space), and stronghold shattering magic to go with her invulnerability to evil from her Ring of Power. Galadriel could tell the other two to hold her beer.

Dick Grayson (aka. Robin/Nightwing/Batman)

Well, they don't have an evil aura until 5th level so probably not based on Detect Evil.

Just not that interested, and I'm a big fan of Superman.

Kristen Wiig? Huh. Interesting.

It was okay, felt it suffered from a little bit of over hype. Better than a lot of Marvel movies (Thor 1 and 2, Avengers 2, Iron Man 2 and 3, couple others). Not as good as GOTG 1 or 2, any of the Captain America movies, Avengers 1, Thor: Ragnarok, couple others. I do think they did an astonishingly good job of taking very dated material that could've felt really, really racist and make it feel fresh and contemporary. No small feat. I enjoyed the movie, and will probably see it again when it comes out after the theatre release. Solid movie.

Good luck.

Absolutely agreed on both points.

In California, the submission of a grievance and participating in an arbitration process provides a level of protected status. This is intended to protect whistleblowers, and encourage the submission of legitimate grievances. Had the employer put the federal (OIG) policy guideline in place prior to the complaint, action would be allowed. The state regs aren't as rigorous in protecting the accused (pretty silent on the subject). Which is why I'm suggesting they adopt language to address this issue, but it isn't retroactive. So, they are pretty difficult to take any action about and he will still get to enjoy supervising them after all this.

I'm not even sure what you are referring to here. Change society? Okay, I have decided we now live in a meritocracy with strong social safety nets, and a deep commitment to social justice issues, where no innocent individual is wrongly accused. Make it so. The actions related to work environment are governed by State regulation (including the now protected class status) and their agency policies. I indicated the recommendation I'm giving them related to policy change which is specifically part of my charge in this case (adopt OIG investigative standards as policy - in short it results in more robust investigative processes, which in the case of a malicious false claim finding with evidence to support it as in this case results in sanctions against the complaintant up to and including termination). Obviously women deserve the protection of law and culture, as do all humans. I suppose if there was anyone indicating otherwise that would be a rather surprising world view. So do men. So do non-binary gender folks.

I believe we are going to have to agree to disagree on this, I've never felt comfortable with the concept that innocent people have a burden of proof. I would consider the price of progress too high if we are sweeping up folks who have committed no wrong doing, and he definitively suffered a career impact from this that will linger for years regardless of the actual outcome. I'm going to look into implementing the OIG process, seems like a higher standard.

So should his accusers face penalties following his exoneration? (They didn't, and are now a protected class, so probably saved their jobs by taking that action) How about his legal fees? Is that just the price of reform? I can assure you the gentleman in question doesn't feel the system worked out very well for him. What happens if someone else does this to him? He's not actually a friend of mine, I observed this in an administrative capacity. Just seems extremely wrong.

This is still very on point.
