Blight wasn't a female Two Face. Her disfigurement was hidden/never mentioned 99% of the time (and the one time it was brought up, she stated her disfigurement made her even sexier than other women and then gave a speech ranting about how hard it was to be taken seriously as as a super sexy mad scientist) and didn't have any of Two face's mental problems.

If anything, Dr Blight was Green Goblin tier Uber villain in terms of being both over the top but also incredibly hyper competent. To the point that her episodes were always the best because you knew shit was going to hit the fan in terms of a good fight.
It would be more accurate to describe her as a human female Dr. Viper, really.
 
Thanks to Trump not accepting the offered 0 for 0 trade agreement with the EU. I have no cadbury eggs for Easter this year. Trump thinks he can just magically lower trade deficits with "deals"

You are dividing the European diaspora from the homeland at a time when both need it.
Please stop concern trolling. You're offering no counter solutions here.
 
What is the run down on the Supreme Court ruling thingy this morning? I figured the headlines I saw were just fluff and a general misrepresentation.
They punted it back to the lower courts like the pussies they are rather than granting it an emergency hearing. Roberts is so obsessed with appearing "non-biased" that they'll likely do this with every big case.
 
It reminds me of the time they rallied around that fat chick at that protest who got hit by a car and had a heart attack lol
That guy got a 10000 year sentence like Rita repulsa. And not a single Republican cares.
indeed, we all seen what happened with android raptor.
I personally think it's weird how much skin she'd show in her cosplay pics. Like I know "it's hot" was her excuse because she was autistic, but especially in the current year, how often were dudes going "it's hot"

Cadbury does not produce their chocolate within the EU to my knowledge (part of the reason it's so shit).
 
Always remember "Maryland Dad" got break after break from the courts/immigration and was allowed to stay in the US for years, but he never bothered to become a citizen or learn English. Truly an American patriot.
Please stop stopping at "slave labor wages."

We DO NOT want these jobs:

* With zero health/dental/vision insurance--especially the kind you have to wait 90 days to even get (but you are PAYING FOR IT)
* With zero EAP
* With zero PTO, or bullshitass 3 PTO days with expectation of severe ass kissing the employer
* With zero vacation time
* With negligible, or zero holidays--while the office people make GODDAMN SURE they will not be working
* With zero 401K option

It's not just the insultingly low pay--it's the absence of benefits and dignity too.
Decent bosses would take care of their employees but we know most of them don't exist, so isn't that what the unions are supposed to do--make sure none of the above is happening? Fairly rhetorical because we all know unions don't care about their members other than taking their money and donating to the Democrats, who in turn don't care about the working man. Hopefully this is changing, though.
Would be nice if this website wasn't performative and we finally start seeing some of these people face the music ...
It would, but I don't see that happening in the current judicial climate. We've got judges defending terrorist gang members, illegal aliens, and treating a stabbing victim's family like they're the criminals. The slow roll through the judicial system is frustrating but necessary; liberals are chomping at the bit for Trump to make a mistake so they can set even worse precedents.
Cadbury's used to have pretty nice chocolate. It wasn't amazing, but for bog standard cheap chocolate it was decent. It became less nice about 20 years ago, and then went to absolute shit a decade ago, shortly after being acquired by Mondelez. It not only tastes really bad, but it feels disgusting in your mouth. It doesn't melt like chocolate, instead it kind of disintegrates into a strange waxy residue that coats your mouth. It's actively unpleasant.

It's not the only one to go that way either, Lindt, Milka, Toblerone, all became awful around that time. Some chocolates held up. Mars Celebrations were decently edible up until around two years ago and now they are foul. The best place to get decent chocolate at non-artisan prices is Lidl and Aldi. Most, but not all, of their chocolate still tastes like chocolate is supposed to.
I heard Cadbury's Robin's Eggs changed their formula for some stupid reason and now they taste like crap. Fine, I've saved some money and calories. These companies are digging their own grave.
