Mom being the best wingman ever

Morality is just popular opinion

My willy is an illusion, as well as an allusion.

I'm a hobo, of course I live on a train.

You should see my bindle

Fuck, this hits home hard

That is awesome, and the character must be ecstatic their wish came true

C'mon, not even one hit of crack?

You should try it.

That's really nice of you to say :)

I'm far from a real comic expert, just a dude that's been into comics since I was a kid.

When you're deep into it as a hobby, you talk to other comic geeks and comic nerds. You have endless conversations about exactly this kind of thing, and your comic friends are pulling back issues from boxes to refer to lol.

Time and repetition at least give the impression of knowledge and/or skill, in other words.

Dude. Don't be a dick.

First, you don't have to test every day, just frequently. And I was because two people in my household are immune compromised. Since my kid did get covid, there was a span where I was testing every day, as were the two adults with immune system compromisement.

Second, I'm disabled and was dealing with my own medical issues which necessitated regular trips to the doctor, so it wasn't just home testing being done.

Third, I'm not a fucking moron, and I was in the medical field back when I could still work.

So, I know I didn't fucking have covid, or I wouldn't have fucking said so.

Maybe not starting from a place of condescension would be a good thing for you in the future@

Aight, you ready for some geek talk? If not, boy did you ask the wrong question!

So, fictional materials. That's the only possible starting point because it means that the properties of fictional materials are exactly what the writer/editor wants them to be, no matter what lore says. So, you have to take that into account in comics, or in purely text based fiction. Since what you're asking also includes going away from print media you a new format, the issue of "writeritis" gets amplified by directors, producers, and test screenings.

With that being said, Thanos breaking a vibranium shield with his uru sword is lore friendly.

Vibranium is an energy and vibration absorbing/dispersing material. I've never seen a definitive answer as to exactly what it is, as in an element, an alloy, or something transformed. But it is not from earth in origin.

Uru originates from one place in the standard marvel universe, and is essentially a super dense metal created by the heat and pressures of a star. But but not a regular one, one from asgardian territory, so magic is involved. This suggests that it is something akin to it being one of those elements formed only in absurd conditions that would generate an atomic number way higher than the 118 that our real world has.

This means that uru is denser, harder, and may have properties that would be able to do weird quantum shit, like maybe splitting praise otherwise unbreakable bonds.

Since Thanos is a freak of physical strength to begin with, and has used magic as well, if he's swinging a sword made of a magical super element, he's also likely to be swinging with forces not found outside of cosmic events. And he's casting a spell as he does so (in equivalency).

Since he's using an uru sword against a human made object that has very little established anti-magic properties and has been shown in both comics and the mcu to be damagable by more mundane forces, Thanos straight up wrecking the shield isn't out of bounds.

Think of it like our best bunkers that can survive a nuke being hit by a giant depleted uranium rod flung from high orbit. There's not going to be anything but rubble left, even though a nuke with the fission reaction wouldn't do much damage.

Thanos is just that strong compared to most things, and uru is essentially the most dense material in the various marvel universes. Plus magic.

That sword would be able to cut right through wolverine. Adamantium is, in most versions from the comics, way denser than Vibranium, and has the benefit of being extremely difficult to alter once its shape is ser. But uru can damage adamantium, just like adamantium can damage vibranium in the right circumstances.

None of those materials are impervious to everything, by canon. They're just absurdly difficult to damage.

Based on what I remember of the movies in specific, vibranium isn't as durable as the comics version. But uru is portrayed pretty damn close to comics properties, so for movie uru to damage movie vibranium makes sense

Luckily (less luck an more a nigh religious isolation and mask use habit) I missed getting covid. The timing of me quitting and covid starting was a wonderful thing though. I can't imagine trying to maintain that addiction with all the risks being increased and supplies of the cigarettes being lower.

I had started chantix well before the first reports started making it into my awareness, and by the time the first waves of deaths here in the US were puckering buttholes, I was done smoking, and had moved over to zero nicotine vape pens to handle the habits of having something to do with my hands and mouth (other than trying to suck cock at glory holes, which didn't seem wise with covid raging anyway).

The masks originally muted the allergies when out in the world, but this house is old as a Neanderthal dick, and at least twice as dusty, so I was often tempted to just wear a mask at home too lol.

Fuck, that was a wild couple of years. Covid was fucking traumatic even though I never caught it. My anxiety spiked just now remembering how bad it was.

The key is figuring out when to use assertiveness vs aggressiveness vs gentleness. And, to learn how to do the first two while being respectful and the third while still insisting on at least basic respect.

It ain't fucking easy. But it is true that assertiveness shifts behavior, as does aggression. People respond to both, and often in ways that seem the same on the surface. But aggression only results in hidden ill feelings, so it's not usually good to use it if you aren't fully sure it's the right stance to take.

Learning that judgement is not a fun experience.
