No, it's not at all. This is total nonsense. If anything, superheroes are usually persecuted by the government.

Spider-Man specifically is literally an outlaw.

And look at the X-Men. Half the time the gov wants to wipe mutants out.

Maybe you can say that about Captain America, but he was created to defeat the Nazis. So yeah, who the fuck is not on the government side in this situation?

And when the gov became corrupt, Captain America became an outlaw.

So whoever is upvoting this and whoever created this doesn't know much about Marvel or comics.

I mean I don't know that much, but I know the bare minimum to know this is nonsense.

You forgot the second part, which really justifies his fears. The whole quote:

"I've had a pest man around to sort the problem and he said there were still thousands of wasps around. He warned me not to go near there because they might smell the stings on me."

And apparently, the stings and the smell are like markers for other wasps to attack (according to an expert in the article).

No regrets

Damn. I regret that I lived a life with regrets. Add that to the list of regrets.

and normally they don’t interact

But dark energy and dark matter make up 95% of our universe. So they would be the "normal".

If anything, the 5% that we do know would be the "abnormal".

And anyway, it's only called dark energy and dark matter, not because it doesn't have a cause, but because it doesn't interact with light (photons don't interact with it).

Although I think you are right that they don't know what causes it. It does interact with gravity, though.

But all this is way beyond my tiny brain.

Because, according to the article, only the women had their hair removed. The men did have pubes.

In ancient Greece, whether you were a hairy alpha male or a gorgeous and effeminate power bottom, the gents were generally allowed to let it all hang out. But when it came to depicting the female body, she was always entirely pubeless.

If I remember correctly, he does talk about his drug use in that book. He even talks about drinking mouthwash at one point because he was that much of an alcoholic.

He said that, on the fateful day, he was far from Central Park — on his way to a “falconing” excursion in Goshen, N.Y. — when he witnessed a woman in a van fatally strike the bear. He said he scooped up the dead bear and put it in his own van, planning to later skin it and eat it.

Wtf??

Hours passed, Kennedy said, and he ran out of time to take the bear home before catching a flight. As he told Barr, he and some people he was with — he said the others had been drinking — came up with a plan: abandon the bear and an old bike, which happened to be in Kennedy’s van, in the park, taking advantage of the fact that there has been a rash of bicycle accidents recently in New York.

Wtf.... why? Is that what rich people do to pass the time? I could imagine a bunch of drunk college frat dudes doing this, but he was 60 years old when this happened!

Why not both?

Elon Musk is not spending $45 million a month to elect former President Donald Trump, though he has created a new super political action committee (PAC) to fund the Republican candidate, the billionaire told conservative commentator Jordan Peterson during an interview Monday evening. 

What a bullshit headline. It's literally the first line of the article.

So he is spending money to fund Trump. He's just going through a super PAC because he can't legally straight up give Trump 45 million.

He probably talked to his lawyers and they told him to correct himself.

I get what you're saying, but let's chill out on the infantilization of women.

A 20-something-year-old woman doesn't compare to a 12-year-old.

And maybe the 20-something-year-old woman hitting on you just wants to have fun and is not thinking about anything working out with you. Presume much?

But sometimes you have to invade to defend.

How would you defeat Hitler without invading Germany or all the countries he occupied?

Looks to be around the beginning of the 90s or late 80s.
