It’s not really for fans of the game, it’s about catching the rest of the country with empty pageantry while raking in advertiser money. Sometimes the game is also good but it hardly matters to the NFL.

“I’m a Virgo” touches on some of that, including having a character with a power related to rousing speeches who organizes community action.
It’s inconsistent, to put it mildly. Spider-Man is generally a working class hero and is also an impressionable kid constantly struggling under the pressure to do good. Sometimes that puts him at odds with NYPD, sometimes he comes out in favor of the Super Registration Act (he flip-flopped later)
That’s what happens when a thousand writers contrivute to one canon.

It doesn’t matter how many casinos he bankrupted, Trump profited. He’s a vampire like a private equity firm, leaving a trail of dead husks behind him.

Old-fashioned soap making is a very approachable historical craft. (Modern soap making is also very approachable if you’re comfortable handling lye)

I’d rather try to integrate with the Coast Salish people than 14th century Christians.

Wood ash + water + fat. From there you just fiddle with ratios and timing while trying not to burn your skin off with strong alkalinity.

It might be defensible in an ecological sense but sociologically the word is used differently.

It’s tricky and there are lots of unexpected differences but you’d get used to it. This is right at the edge of Early Modern English and the Great Vowel Shift.

Slight euphoria, sluggishness, loss of short-term memory, and if I get too high intensely and uncomfortably aware of sensory input so I have to go lay down in the dark and try not to think about the weight of my skin. I don’t get any of the fun brain stuff people talk about.

Video is expensive to host, I get that. I’d happily give a few bucks a month (which is way more than my ad views would be worth) but their asking price is laughable.
