    Maybe there are onto something with this diversity push. Maybe comic book sales are so low that this is what was needed. Rebirth, Result in Highest Direct Market Sales Numbers in 20 Years | Comic Book Resources

    No, the ratings are insanely high with Black people. Before Empire came out, it had the highest percentage of Black people watching it. They've carved out a niche and at this point in time, couldn't back out of it if they wanted to. This Is What Black People Watch (And Dont Watch) On...

    OK, I took the preworkout and it made the workout not so bad. I've increased my poundages by 10% and volume by 35-40%. I've been making some gains, it's just tough to get through it.

    Ghostbusters (2016)

    I don't want to see this. I showed my kids Ghostbusters 1 and 2 a couple of months ago, and they loved them. So they've informed me that we are going to go see "Girl Ghostbusters." I may go, but I'll be rolling my eyes the whole time.

    Is anyone here using a preworkout drink? I just bought one today for the heck of it. The reason why I've never used them is that I get cold sores, and these drinks are loaded with Arginine.

    What is Marvel doing in the comics right now? In Civil War 2, War Machine and She Hulk died in a fight with Thanos, and Hulk died just today (he gave the tech to Hawkeye to kill him if he hulked out again). Probably they did this just so they could replace them with minorities. Oh wait...

    We finished this on Sunday. It wasn't a bad season. It's just not a replacement for GoT. I wonder what show we'll watch next.

    Agreed. They later changed the policy to "feel free to get water without asking." Before, if you asked to drink water, or take a break, it was considered a sign of disrespect. But when they had some of their black belts falling out, they changed it. Everyone was falling out, regardless of...

    So you are not only racist (with your afro comment), but ignorant also? If you go out and suck a dick (assuming you aren't doing that already), you could get the trifecta!

    Yes, Americans need constant validation, and that is for watered down training.

    What we call a cult has been done for thousands of years in Kung Fu temples. It's more of Americans being lazy and not willing to work for anything any more. Ever talk to an Instructor that trained overseas? They have to lower intensity by 75% or we won't support it. I remember the one...

    Taxes

    You can call and try to get them to resolve this, but YMMV. We had the IRS claim that we never issued W2's the first year we were in business. Even in the face of invoices and cleared checks from the CPA, they are still trying to clip us for it. Only the penalty is 10% of payroll! We spent...

    I'm not sure what you mean. If the reference was to money, it was only $85 a month for unlimited training and four private lessons. You can't get that any more for that price.

    It was OK, but when I wanted to take off, I took off. There would be times when I would ask myself why I was doing what I was doing. I still haven't been in a fight in my adult life (plenty when I was a kid though). When I would ask myself why I was wearing myself out, I'd take a week off to...

    They, under no circumstances, wanted you out more than three times a week, and that was for $160. Mind you, I'm in the midwest. That's a lot. When I trained in my studio, that wanted us there every day, from 6-10 PM, and all day on Saturday. If you were going to get your black belt, that's...

    The one school almost fooled me. But when I sat down and they said you could get your black belt with only two 45 minute sessions a week, that's what told me. You couldn't attend more than twice a week.

    Has no one else read comics from the 80's? She once led the Avengers, and KO'd Magneto in one hit. I guess they've changed her name repeatedly since then.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Have you actually read the comics? You are just making shit up. See the video? Odin fights Silver Surfer and Thanos at the same time. He defeats SS, and is about to defeat Thanos before the Infinity Watch persuades him to let up on Thanos. It is well accepted that Odin is up two notches...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    The Midgard serpent weighs almost the same as the Earth. Superman moves the Earth. Thor has moved the Earth, and put the serpent on his back and moved it.

    We've settled on Krav Maga/Combative Jujitsu. I did it namely because the instructor had a background in Kenpo, and the strikes in Krav Maga are pretty close (other than the whole blocking with your hands open thing). I can drill her on stuff at home, and have been. We looked at other...

    The problem is that there is no aging. Remember the Champions RPG? They actually had people get married, have kids and die and have a second and third generation of superheroes. So if Marvel did that, maybe Tony marries a Black woman, and they have a Black daughter, who 20 years from now...

    Sadly enough, I said outloud I couldn't believe that they were turning Iron Man into a Black teenage girl, and every woman in the house came running immediately. I wonder how much of this is being driven by Disney, in an effort to have more diversified characters in their movies going forward...

    They lost me when they turned Blade into a teenage girl, and the first issue was supposed to be of her celebrating her sweet 16th birthday. Marvel is trolling us at this point.
