The youtube link alone was enough for that.

If your books need real world themes and connections to be good, maybe you should try improving their writing instead.
I think my love for it came from the spiderman comic. Peter was great in the ultimate universe (and was the only comic I read through the entirety of). And yeah, grimdark is probably the right fit for it.
No seriousness here, but if the patient was in the doctor's office, I'd ask the same question. Maybe not as the first question, but it would be in there. She's not in any significant trouble if she came to the appointment on time, so let's check and see how her epic battle has affected each system, from neurological to reproductive. That is why she's here, right? For a followup that every single (/roll_eyes) discharge paperwork always says to get?
I’m just curious, based on knowing how women’s symptoms aren’t always taken as seriously as a man’s during diagnosis.
I just ask it as part of the standard 'check everything' mentality. It's interesting to me how it can be taken as women's symptoms not being taken as seriously as men's, because ignoring the downstairs leads to a lot of fuckups in the field. Heck, the paramedic who trained me used to say that you would (and I'm doing my best to remember her quote, but it's been a while) "miss a significant portion of issues if you fail[ed] to consider the reproductive system in an emergency." Put another way, the entire reason I'm asking about it is because I'm trying not to lump a woman in with the males and ignore their health.
As you should be. Kids books should be just as good as adult books. Maybe not for the adults, but for the kids reading them.
Having lower standards just because 'it's for kids,' is ridiculous.
It's not like disney or dreamworks to half ass their kid oriented movies. They're often masterpieces in their own right. There's good reason that the lion king, the land before time, the road to el dorado, etc., are all viewed fondly even today. Hell, take it out of animation, even. Secondhand lions, wizard of oz, charlie and the chocolate factory... great stuff.
Writing for kids can be just as complicated and well done in characters, setting, and 'elements' of a story like tension. Compare the hobbit to harry potter. The words tolkien chose may have been simple, in comparison to his the lord of the rings novels, but everything else was pretty damn good.
I think I, too, would stay on the plane. I pretty clearly designed a plane and made it's schematics, but I sure as shit never put hand-to-tool and riveted those hot removed shags of metal into that soft aluminum skin that rippled so gently under my heated, pounding assault.
Plus, staff and security get pretty upset about a person leaving the plane once boarded, so I'll take my chances with the engines and landing gear over super lame cops with guns.
justified the end of the Ultimates universe
Ah, I really liked the ultimates universe because it did make a whole new start that I could jump into, compared to the decades of comics earlier. Plus they were pretty free about killing some characters off. I loved cyclops deciding to

because it felt like the characters had room to grow, fuck up, and change... like they could act in ways that didn't need to preserve the status quo.
Seeing as we had a rant only a year or two ago about him (potentially) banning some language (or IDE? I don't remember) from the kernel if it couldn't cleanly handle tabs and spaces, I don't think he's going to ban tabs.
Wait, as I typed this, I think I remember it better now. He was actually going to start using hidden tabs to fuck with people's IDEs that didn't handle them well.
My only real knowledge of him, aside from some songs I'm sure I've heard, is the line from sweet home alabama. And when I read about what that was about, I kinda came down on neil's side.
I think so? That's the guys who pokes fun at his nurses for using gloves while he's using his fingers, right?
So what I'm hearing is, there are a bunch of police who can, at the will of people who don't like them, be 'forcibly' moved into certain areas.
Let them escort you. Get the political credit of an assassination attempt and get rid of some actual factual totally not anything but government bootlickers.
