        Yeah, but that still had the headliner(s). This is *the* title character. If they pump up what other MCU leads will crossover, it will help. But they better lean heavy into it. -- nm* - Spawn Aug 1, 09:23

- Devils Advocate: DeShaun has not been charged with a crime. And much of the interaction was reported as consensual. $$$ in exchange for a service. -- nm* - budice Aug 1, 08:55 2
  - I don't think any of the 20 some women are calling it consensual. -- (edited) - Inigo Aug 1, 09:01 1

  - He wasn't playing but they were bets on Falcons games so... -- nm - Krusty Aug 1, 08:48 3
    - Hilariously, he bet on the Falcons winning. So, he's a really bad gambler. -- nm - David Aug 1, 08:50 2

- semi-related. I keep repeatedly getting seeded grapes from Walmart when I order seedless. Who are these monsters ordering seeded grapes? -- nm - oblique Aug 1, 08:40 2
  - When you feel the need, the need for seed. -- nm - budice Aug 1, 08:41
  - See? That's the thing. Nobody is buying them so they have to 'accidentally' send them to you to get rid of that crap -- (edited) - decline Aug 1, 08:41
