Not at all - they'll swim in through the hole in the boat's bottom.

yeah
sorta ... they do good stuff. But they are not Trump. Trump's "5
Minutes of Truth" daily episodes would need to be harder hitting, more
emotional appeal yet straight fact based. Some of the Tucker openings
would be a good example.
There are so many cases where what
the left accuses Trump of doing ... the left is doing in spades (racism, fomenting hate/violence, killing jobs for the poor, hurting health care). A sound
bite is not enough to expose them. More than five minutes and no one would listen.
Or maybe two minutes ... two minutes of love, exposing the 24/7 lies and hate. ha (comparing to Orwell's two minutes of hate)

In my ideal world, every Democrat in NC would be looking out their windows, hoping against hope that they wouldn't end the day swinging from a tree branch.
But, pace Kreplach, nobody gives a fuck and the GOP is a useless pile of dog shit.

It was a grey morning and the man and the boy were at the dock again and they were going to go fishing. The boy was standing in the boat. He had lost both legs below the knee in the War, his war. The old man knew about war and about losing things in a war. The boy wished the old man would tell him about the things he had lost in his own war, but the old man just fished and didn't talk, because when you lose things in a war it does something to your voice. And then all you can do is sit in a boat and fish and think about the things you have lost.

Saw a movie once, set in Greece or somewhere. Have no other recollection of it other than it had a scene showing dozens of women sitting in the streets in the sunshine mending yards and yards of fishing nets - it appeared to be their daily routine. Not a bad life, I thought.

Went to see Petula Clark. Petula is 86 and still has a pretty good voice. Little rough in the beginning but got stronger as she progressed. She did an almost ninety minute set.
Petula could just as easily sat there and told stories about people she'd met and worked with over the years of her life and done some singing as sort of an afterthought. She is a very engaging performer.
Anyway Miss Clark has quite the singing, stage and film resume and I believe she represents the last of a bygone era.
In fact, she closed with a song that gave me the impression she knows this is her last tour and that she went on tour to say good bye.

Many years ago, my wife and I started getting phone calls from people looking to rent an apartment, which was odd, since we were in no way associated with any apartments for rent. We did, however, know the place people were calling about, so we drove past it one day. To our surprise, there was a big sign saying "Call about apartment rental" (or something to that effect) with our phone number below it.
We tracked down a number for the management company, and let them know. The calls stopped soon after.

They "seem" to do OK because both companies are focused on stripping out all the obtainable cash out of what they've already got and spreading it around among their stakeholders, most importantly their respective governments. But Venezuela demonstrated the endgame for that type of asset "management" - When Chavez took over, all investment and repairs stopped, and PDvSA began to be strip mined for cash. It was in such good shape (because of the foreign nationals who had previously run it) that they could do that for about 10 - 12 years before production started to seriously drop.
But now, investment has been nil for at least 15 years, and the Venezuelan oil biz is in total collapse, as is the country itself. Desperate people there wonder if there is some quick fix - nope, first the political situation has to be fixed, and then it will take 10 - 15 years of reinvestment to ever get close to where they used to be. So, the current generation has lost the chance to benefit from the wealth they are itting on for good. Maybe, just maybe, their grandchildren can - or maybe it is just too late for that country completely, and they are just going to sink back into the jungle that the place always was.

Looking at this picture I can imagine a scene like that 2,000 years ago. No coolers to store food in. Leaving early morning, returning before dusk. Caloric requirements for men would be at least 2,000 calories, especially with the physical labor of rowing and setting nets. Could well be in the 4,000 calorie range.
What could they possibly consume during that period that would have a high calorie content, not spoil at room temperature, lightweight and could be transported easily?
Is it any wonder that 'Give us this day our daily bread' was part of the prayer of that age?

Meanwhile, in California, growers are switching away from fruits and vegetables and planting almond trees because the price of almonds is so high.
Bearing Nuts. According to the "Sunset National Garden Book," you must have two almond trees in order to get fruit, and the trees take a minimum of three years to produce fruit. DavisWiki says that almond trees offer their best nut production in years six to 10 but can produce nuts for up to 50 years.
You plant olive trees for your great grandkids
It takes about five years for an olive tree to produce fruit, according to Texas A&M University. The lifespan of the tree is extraordinary, with many living -- and producing fruit -- for more than 500 years.

I like the composition and the technique.
It's probably not going for the next level of realism that I'd like to see. The boat is rather small to have such a high prow, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
And the pier isn't on pilings, which means it's fixed relative to the water, which means this isn't tidal water, which means a lake.
It should be on an ocean. Oceans are better.

It was a grey morning and the man and the boy were at the dock again and they were going to go fishing. The boy was standing in the boat. He had lost both legs below the knee in the War, his war. The old man knew about war and about losing things in a war. The boy wished the old man would tell him about the things he had lost in his own war, but the old man just fished and didn't talk, because when you lose things in a war it does something to your voice. And then all you can do is sit in a boat and fish and think about the things you have lost.

Apparently, (in most cases, i suppose) the kid can't just decide what they want to be called in class anymore. They actually have to have paperwork submitted by the parent, or else the teacher can get in hot water.
Also, the whole "i identify as a ___" thing goes the same way. Without parental consent, the kid can't just dictate what they get referred to as.
As if childhood weren't enough of a pain in the ass, now the barbarians have introduced this whole new superstructure of bureaucratic asininity on top of it all...

I'm kind of where you are, but not because of CM. It's been an incredible 10 year ride with these characters and story.
I just don't feel as invested in the next generation. Plus, based on Spiderman, Black Panther and presumably Captain Marvel, politics and SJW crap are gonna start infesting these movies tenfold.
Shame. But at this point idk what can even be done about CM, it's gotta be almost finished by now, right?

The fact that they are not shows that, despite Trump, despite the massive number of people who think this sort of thing is utter lunacy, despite all the crowing about the left eating itself, the country is doomed.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this whole "I identify as..." and "my pronouns are..." thing is a passing fad. The reward for winning these little battles just seems so insignificant, I can't imagine (sane) people still fussing about this well into adulthood. In time, it'll be pigeonholed as a behavioral oddity, and will diminish.

Be nice if Trump fired some of the swamp creatures instead and could at least keep the appearance that he wasn't in constant chaos at the WH.
The only thing that keeps me putting up with Trump is his hard stance on immigration. But nothing will ever convince me otherwise that the guy has zero leadership skills. He's just a thin-skinned megalomaniac celebrity that blames everything on somebody else.
He would easily win reelection if he just acted like a grown up. The issues he ran on resonate with the silent majority.

Reshoots/re-edits are always an option, right up until release.
But assuming CM doesn't take down the MCU, Feige needs to make her likable if she's going to lead the Avengers from now on....which is the plan, supposedly.

The only thing that I can glean from the trailer is.
She was given powers of all the combined Marvel Superheros by space Hilary in space Wakanda and now she is basically the most powerful person in Ginormiverse.
And she always looks like WTF am I doing here?
Anywho, did anyone ask Space Hillary if plucking some preteen girl out of the blue and then turning her into the ultimate killing machine was what she wanted. Was there any consent before they turned her into Space Jason Bourne?
Does space Hilary have any protocols in place when one of the genetically engineered terror weapons goes kerplunkity and turns into ED2000 from Robocop and starts wasting the Ginormiverse?

Based on the trailers, absolutely.
And Marvel has usually done a great job creating hype with its trailers. The two CM trailers just look...generic, at best.

I expect that name is toothpaste that won't be going back in the tube. I guffawed when I first read it. It's Horde sourced, so it has to meet certain standards of juvenile Moronic crudeness. Isn't it just the perfect beginning for deep romance and lifelong matrimonial relationships‽

My uncle was there and would have been on one of the ships except that he'd just had his appendix out and was in the hospital recovering. He heard the bombings begin and ran for the harbor. And helped those who were brought into the hospital with far worse than an appendectomy scar.
When he shipped soon after, he and the nurse who'd tended him had fallen in love. He told her to wait for him, he was coming back for her.
He served on a supply ship in the Pacific, where it was so hot that he rubbed a hole in his lucky silver dollar that he carried in his pocket.
She waited, and he did return, and they married after the war. That warn-through silver dollar was modified a bit and became his wedding ring.
Which is why I have a branch of my family in Hawaii.

Thus, when toddlers refer to a 3rd person, it's not "she did it," but "Susu did it" --- or, to make a seasonal football reference, not "he did it," but "da-bo did it."
I therefore believe that, when confronted with a surreal policy based on little more than a toddler's sensibility, the solution is to revert to that speaking age yourself. Just don't use 3rd-person pronouns at all.
