Helloooo nurse!
Theoretically he should be able to do this. The problem might be landing since he’s not invulnerable or super strong. But then again, we’re talking comic book logic. The speeds at which he travels should have already ripped him apart if he doesn’t have some sort of protection.
I’m not a Flash expert by any means. Does the Speed Force protect him? I know in the Young Justice cartoon Wally wore pads with his costume because he didn’t have as good control as Barry, so I’m guessing it doesn’t fully protect him.
He didn’t say “the dog,” he said “the bitch,” and he didn’t say “father,” he said “daddy.” OP needs to beware the kinky homewrecker who runs the shelter
Motherfucker…
Yeah I felt the same way. The country is falling apart and we are just supposed to continue celebrating big businesses, rich athletes, and music stars? I couldn’t really get into it.
Somehow I’ve never heard this one until today, and I loved it. It really is a beautiful song, and I’m not even religious
The International Court of Justice does not just represent the West, it represents all UN countries. And while it did find evidence of human rights abuse it did not find evidence of genocide, because that is a high bar.
Furthermore, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, representing 300 genocide experts, condemned Russia’s use of the term to justify its own violence, as cited here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14623528.2022.2099633?scroll=top&needAccess=true
You’re free to form a different opinion. But when yours is different than the majority of the world’s and the International Court, but won’t even admit that yours might be the hot take, it’s not a good look
Buddy, what he said was reprehensible and I am not trying to defend his actions or statements. But does it meet the standard of “ethnic cleansing?” The International Court and most of the world says no.
The Wikipedia article is a summary of many cited sources. There’s academic ones like The Journal of Genocidal Research. There’s a UN report from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. There’s news reports from Reuters and the BBC. There’s a report from the International Court. Though I’m sure you checked the sources before dismissing the article out of hand.
No one is saying that there was zero conflict in Donbas leading up to the invasion. But to label it as “ethnic cleansing” without even acknowledging that this claim is widely disputed internationally is at best irresponsible and at worst deceptive
Project Hail Mary. Great sci-fi story and the narrator really does an outstanding job. No sex that I can recall. Maybe an occasional mild curse word? If so it wasn’t overkill.
Just curious, what are his reasons for not wanting to upgrade?
In the US there’s the saying “you can’t squeeze water from a stone”
The Killer Angels is set in the American Civil War, so not really as far back as you described,but it really set the standard for modern historical fiction. The author used primary sources (letters, journals etc of the officers on both sides) to get as accurate a depiction of events, personalities, and inner thoughts as possible. It is the book that the movie Gettysburg is based on, but written like 20-30 years before the movie.
You did say you were open to worthy suggestions and I think this is really a worthy one.
