Gesticulation has long been a part of public speaker training.
It helps frame your words and your message and also direct meaning in a way that punctuation does in the written word.
As punctuation is to reading, as gesticulation is to speaking.
It’s part of body language being part of speaking to someone (a person or an audience) and can help people relate to the speaker.
That particular gesture was famously popularized/lampooned due to Bill Clinton
She’s Canadian, they play her on Canadian radio so much to fill there CanCon quota
Thanos is simping for Lady Death who doesn’t give a thought about him at all
Bold choice indeed
Your substitute for tomatoes is different tomatoes? Bold choice
How about Jon Bon Jovi?
During COVID he spent his days ladling soup in his soup kitchen.
He knows fame and fortune so that won’t be new to him
Last year in September he helped someone not jump off a bridge.
Has been married to the same person since 1989 and they were highschool sweet hearts
“On December 15, 2010, Bon Jovi was appointed by then U.S. president Barack Obama to the White House Council for Community Solutions.”
So he knows some things
He now has 3 soup kitchen’s.
Seems like someone that would do some good even if didn’t exactly meet your qualifications
Also because Colbert previously was cancelled and that was already upsetting to many people. If Colbert wasn’t cancelled already We might not have seen enough people care when Kimmel was suspended
I didn’t say we didn’t. Not sure why you think I’m ignoring companies like Amazon. If they operated as freely as Vought does then yes it would look the same, but Vought created supers in The Boys and controlled access to them. Thats where I was pretty clear about establishing my opinion and how the real world is different from the world of The Boys.
No. If it’s just the getting powers and it’s not like a toxin thing that actually corrupts/poisons.
Absolutley there will be those that need to be put down hard, but I don’t think it would be as set up in The Boys
Part of why that world works the way it does is Vought. The other is that Homelander is tiers above the other characters and he is a psychopath raised by an evil organization. Given that no one was able to compare to Homelander he couldn’t be challenged. His treatment of other supes is a large reason why he is as bad as he is, and why others end up doing so many bad things. They do things because of shareholders profits not for doing of good and they have a monopoly on supers
There would still be chaos, but it wouldn’t be like that show, I don’t think because there are many people that would actually just want to be helpful
Fame and fortune already makes people nutty, or rewards bad behavior maybe, but I don’t think the powers themselves would corrupt people and make them evil.
I have a Spotify account, formerly a Tidal account, briefly a Deezer account and I’m still listening to music I collected 25 years ago, I’m also listening to an absolute ton of new music I would never have found without Spotify,

Some bands I have found through Spotify,
Ancients.
Kanaan.
Slomosa.
Reign Wolf.
Tiger Cub.
Harold’s Last Chance.
Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.
Ghost.
Lüt.
Sludge Mother.

As a Walken fanboy, this rings a loud bell for me
Scents and smells? That is so far beyond my ability to prepare but that’s awesome for you(I assume!)
Ive found its a good baseline to start with until you can gauge who you are speaking to.
In connection with the comic XKCD - 10000,it has helped a socially awkward geek like me when speaking to people in meetings or on projects. Kind of follow the I said it outright the first time and emphasize it slightly the first time I use a phrase if I’m going to refer to it a few times and try to shorten it for convenience
It was explained to me by someone I know who I trust. I would have to ask them or go looking. Unfortunately I haven’t been in contact with them so that’s not much of an option for the foreseeable future. As I said it is my understanding,
I was led to believe this isn’t really something to argue about as there were entire books that no longer exist in modern versions. This was about 15 years ago and you are the first person to challenge that assertion I’ve made since then. (It isn’t something that has come up all that often to be fair)
Sorry if I’m mistaken or was misled
No worries, learned to have to speak as if no one knows anything when I started running DnD games. It’s really easy to do when you know a subject as well as you seem to
There are significant differences as I understand it
You think people here kniw what SME means?
Nintendo and it’s propriety hardware
