That doesn't mean that vitamin diets always give you a deficiency. You can still get B12 as a vegan.

They didn't even invoice me for over 6 months ๐Ÿคท

Ah, sounds like it was added by an amateur. I had an electrician come round to move a socket once, he removed it but then promptly ran away because there was so much amateur garbage in our walls.

Is that shoe horned though? I mean to me it feels like the whole plot of the show is all about Jennifer's experience as a woman both in and out of the She-Hulk persona. I think if you came away just with "she has no trouble being hulk because she's a woman" you missed the rest of the show where she struggles with various aspects of how becoming She-Hulk affects her - all of which directly or indirectly link to the general struggles of being a woman.

I think that is behind posters like the OP and why they are (reasonably) suspicious of negative press around a show with central feminist themes - like another commenter pointed out, there doesn't have to be a 'reason' to include minorities in a show, they just exist in the real world and so can exist in a show. Similarly, She-Hulk is a woman and thus faces the issues that women face, is it not reasonable for the show to include those issues as part of its plot?

Hold on what's the "obvious" shoe horned diversity in she hulk? Forgive me but it wasn't obvious to me, I watched it and found it generally entertaining and didn't spot any "token" characters or anything like that.

Are they really defining one slang term using two other slang terms?

Omg this might actually be a good reason to get back on twitter

How dare you assume that I'm not only full of myself but also uneducated! I'll have you know I was schooled by the finest scholars of YouTube, and received several diplomas from both Udemy and Coursera. Frankly, I am above this debate and will be removing myself henceforth! Good day!

I think at the moment it's highly correlated with reading the news

Yeah I think this would be less impressive if it included an outline of our own sprawling metropolis.

Clearly they don't, otherwise we wouldn't have anyone trying to mediate conflicts, anyone calling for ceasefire in Gaza. Do we just accept Russia invading Ukraine? If Russia flattened the country and took over, do you think that would be justified? Don't get me wrong, I don't think there would be a procession of countries willing to invade and take it back, but that isn't because Russia would have claimed the land, it would be because they fear for their own people's lives.

Why, if you think every country in the world is only respecting borders because of military power, doesn't the US just take over? They certainly have tje military power to back up an invasion of almost any country on the planet.

I mean, good luck with that. It's near enough impossible to completely remove bias from any source of information... I think Wikipedia does a fairly good job, honestly, and the talk pages mean you can see different perspectives fairly openly.
