    What did you see? My cinema has started up its newsletters again and the new releases are slim pickings

    Black Widow

    Light stuff, but still good fun. Would have been a lot more weighty to see in the original post-Civil War context

    The mask stays the same but there are some aspects to it that aren’t shown in the trailers

    It’s still a very edgelord costume, perhaps the most out of any Marvel costume

    Why do we all have the same nerve damage

    In my case, I'm a little suspicious that it has to do with having gotten my second Covid shot. After the shot, I had a sore shoulder on my left, and then a week later the nerve pinch happened on my right, so I'm guessing that there may have been some inflammation that led to the pinch.

    Buuuuut, that's all guesses and coincidence.

    how does it feel aside from the shooting pain

    like, a little tingly or a little numb or just a little off?

    also, are you feeling it in your fingers - and if so, is it just half of them?
    Wait what could this be. I went to the doctor for this and they were???

    I've had tingly left finger tips for a week and it's driving me crazy. They told me to come back if it doesn't to away in another week.

    pinched nerve

    based on all my vast medical knowledge


    by which I mean: like having pulled a muscle or something wouldn't feel like that, since it's so off, right? You can't hurt exactly the right side of your entire arm. Also the tinglyness, nerve stuff tends to feel tingly while few other things do, right?

    and when we say pinched nerve it's not that the nerve is being pinched by something somehow, more that it got pinched - or just got hit in the wrong way or for some reason or other is inflamed now and it's going to go away as it goes back to normal, it's just going to feel really annoying while it does

    akin to a bruise, is another analogy I've read

    edit: which is probably why they said come back after a while since everything's normal (just annoying) if it does go away.

    Some get bigger tits, some get to go around flexing their fingers in annoyance. I'm getting my first short next week in the middle of a sailing trip, I hope I get any side effect but that, I'll get grumpy.

    in loopholes:
    As a threshold matter, it isn't even clear which law applies. There are two constitutions that provide different paths to replace the President. According to the 1987 Constitution, "if the presidency is vacant for any reason, the country's most senior judge should step in." However, "the head of the nation's highest court died of Covid-19 in June." It isn't clear if the senior associate judge could step into the seat of the presiding judge. In 2012, the Constitution was amended. Under this new document, the President would be "replaced by a council of ministers, under the guidance of the prime minister." But that provision does not apply "if the president was in the fourth year of office." And the assassinated President was in his fourth year of office. If the president was in his fourth year, then "Parliament would vote for a provisional president." But there is no functional parliament! "The lower house is entirely vacant — their terms expired last year — leaving [former President] Mr. Moise to govern by decree for about a year."

    Under Haitian law, the president appoints the prime minister, and he must be approved by the parliament. Now, two people are claiming to be the prime minister. Two days before the President was assassinated, he appointed a new prime minister. But he was never confirmed by the parliament. There is another person, who claims to be the "interim" prime minister who is exercising power. (It isn't clear what gave him the authority to claim that title.) And the interim prime minister has placed the country under martial law.

    by the way, being in the EU, do you have any inkling as to what the EU is thinking with the fishing quotas in norwegian waters dispute that's going on? Like, is it something you've even read in passing?

    AbdhyiusAbdhyius Registered User regular
    it just kinda feels one-sided in that like, we care, but there isn't any "the eu public debate" so it feels a little faceless

    like I doubt people in paris going around being incensed about fishing quota negotiations, so it feels a little like the EU is trying very specifically to annoy the piss out of norwegians without really having a strong reason to - like fish is important, it's a large part of why we're not actually in the EU


    also for context: the EU has had a fishing quota in norwegian waters for a long time. After brexit, the norwegian take is that the EU quota gets reduced by britain's share, and they get that. The EU disagrees, which is fair enough, but then they just issued itself a quota and said to go ahead to eu fishermen

    to which the response was, no, fuck off, the coast guard will arrest anyone fishing illegally because norway sets quotas for norwegian waters, what are you doing?


    and it all feels rather unnecessary as far as conflicts go, and I don't see what EU really has to gain from taking the tack they're taking.

    man, Jim Steranko's work on Uncanny X-Men #50 is so many miles beyond anything else published around the same time

    it's the first issue between reading X-Men and the Avengers from the start that i've actually stopped and gawped at the artwork on every page

    the art for both comics starts getting significantly better around 1967 and stops being both so Sunday Funnies in style and having six characters in every panel all spouting a full paragraph of dialog

    but even still that issue is just like a masterpiece

    actually @Jacobkosh since we were talking about the artwork before and also to prove i'm only joking as i constantly shit on these early issues hehe

    @Chanus I really love the early early Marvel stuff but it's definitely the case that Kirby did rush work on everything that wasn't Fantastic Four. Many times he just did layouts and most of the actual art was by the inker. Also, unfortunately, if the inker was Vince Colletta, who had a job because he had an uncle in the mob, he would just erase most of Kirby's pencils and backgrounds to make them easier to ink over. And some of the other non-Kirby artists like Don Heck were very whatever. The late 60s/early 70s are where the bar starts getting seriously raised between guys like Steranko, Neal Adams, and John Buscema.

    have you checked out Steranko's Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD yet? It's probably his best work. Just incredible craftsmanship that really pushed at the boundaries. This shit is my catnip.

    Nick_Fury_007_03.jpg

    @Jacobkosh i added it to my reading list when i googled Steranko and read that was essentially his magnum opus

    Allegedly a voice of reason.

    It's not big news in the EU, This is the Svalbard thing, right?
    It's been while, but the way it has been explained here makes Norway look quite unreasonable, namely:
    - There's a treaty about who owns Svalbard, in very short, it's Norway, but only if they allow non-discriminatory hunting and fishing access to certain parties (the signatories)
    - Norway changed it's requirements / license on catching crab in the territorial waters
    - Some EU fishermen was arrested for catching crab without a license
    - He objects, says he was discriminated against.
    - Judge says that "nonsense, a Norwegian would also be arrested if he fished without a license"
    - Article one of the license says "Can not be issued to non-Norwegians"
    - Making the Judge technically correct, but in a most unjust way.
