  - My team is similar to his. We're both on the small side of average and rely on steals and assists. - Baron and Barratry Aug 19, 07:04 1
    - My Scrimmage with Spam, my team had 26 assists, all from the starters. The backups (normally like 50 minutes a game) played 70 minutes. - Will Hunting Aug 19, 07:14

    - I'd starve to death very quickly. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 05:47 21
      - You just don't understand the joys of Taco Bell! -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 06:02 6
        
        I understand the joy of walking past it and going to a place with tasty food. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 19, 06:08 5
        
        I mean, I get that it's not great, but it's like McDonalds or Krystals/White Castle; food-like sustenance if you need it for cheap. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 07:02 3
        
        I avoid fast food as much as possible. I am more likely to go to a bagel store or a pizzeria than McDonald's. - Krusty Aug 19, 07:07 2
        
        You also have tons of other choices, since you live in a special universe. :D -- nm - JaxSean Aug 19, 07:10 1
        
        True. I do have an insane amount of options so there's really no reason to eat fast food. I get why people do and I don't judge anyone for their food - Krusty Aug 19, 07:17
        
        This. -- nm - Diva Aug 19, 06:49
      - Ah come on, who doesn't like tacos? - sycor Aug 19, 06:02 13
        
        I hate tacos. I've been to Taco Bell once and found out there's nothing on the menu I want to eat. I'm the anti-Amanda -- nm* - Krusty Aug 19, 06:06 12
        
        They have more than tacos, you un-American weirdo! -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 06:15 5
        
        I know which is why I said nothing on the menu. I don't want to eat anything they make. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 06:18 4
        
        I'm getting Dawson and we're taking you to Taco Bell and retraining you!!! -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 06:24 3

        *rips off Krusty mask* ...Spawn? -- nm* - JaxSean Aug 19, 06:39 1
        
        Sadly, we're very similar in our lack of love for different foods. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 06:47
        
        I don't... wha.... How.... hate tacos? -- nm - sycor Aug 19, 06:12 5
        
        I don't like any of the ingredients except the cheese. I especially don't like loose dry ground beef. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 06:17 4
        
        you can put other things in tacos! (i love their chicken-soft tacos, i don't know that i have ever ordered anything else. I mean, i go RARELY, but, when i do...) -- nm* - Andie Aug 19, 06:22 3
        
        I love making chicken tacos at home in the crockpot. I just like chicken tacos. And beef. Beef goes in hard shell, chicken in soft shell. - sycor Aug 19, 06:27
        
        If everyone I'm with decides we're having Mexican I'll get a quesadilla. I don't eat at Taco Bell. I'd wait outside. -- nm - Krusty Aug 19, 06:25
        
        Fiesta potatoes! -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 06:25
- Bricks and mortar is returning. Capitalism is healing. -- nm - mafic Aug 19, 05:43

  - They have bookstores, grocery stores, and convenience stores. This plan is for actual department stores with clothes, homes goods, etc. -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 05:43 2
    - Yeah I saw as much as the paywall would allow. Obviously they need a Sharper Image-like store too for all their knockoff garbage. - Qale Aug 19, 05:46 1
      - I added a link below to a CNBC article on the topic (no paywall) -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 05:49
- First locations expected in CA and OH. About the size of a Kohl's. -- nm - ty97 Aug 19, 05:33 2

- "You know what's never saved the world?" - TWuG Aug 19, 05:35
- Feels very DC. Both in the muted colors, and a bunch of gods running around telling us why they never interfered until now.. -- nm - Inigo Aug 19, 05:31 8
  - I don't agree on the muted colors part overall. i think there's parts there that will be gorgeous on a big screen -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 19, 06:58
  - except no rain and all the fights don't happen at night, and better scripts and better CGI and actors with an actual range of emotion -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 05:44 5
    - This feels like you responded to a post saying "This is a DC movie exactly! Give me reasons why it isn't!" -- nm - Inigo Aug 19, 05:47 4
      - I mean I get your point, but as the trailer points out there is a huge difference. - Beaker Aug 19, 05:52 3
        
        It's not just Supes in DC. - Inigo Aug 19, 06:11 1
        
        I thought some of the shots in the trailer looked amazing. I said to myself "Self, this is gonna look amazballs on the big screen" -- nm - Beaker Aug 19, 06:38
        
        but I do think the point is accurate that Marvel gets outside its core competency when it gets to the god-like characters - Reagen Aug 19, 06:02
