For many years now, Marvel Comics has dealt with the passage of time with a formula called the Sliding Timescale. It’s weird math that I don’t get, and generally dumb and bad anyway, but currently “Year One” for Earth 616 is about 2005, meaning the Fantastic Four launched into space and became heroes circa 2005. All the comics, sans things that have been directly retconned or elements that date them in-universe, are still canon. This means that early in their careers, the Fantastic Four still sold their film rights to Namor, a la issue #9. Since this was roughly 2005, this means that the real life Fantastic Four movie released in 2005 could plausibly exist in the 616 as the movie produced by Namor.

To paraphrase Lisa Simpson, I know those words but that doesn’t make any sense.

I haven't used my Kindle for reading in ages, but I nonetheless use it all the time. Its non-backlit screen is perfect for a game or two of chess when I've been looking at the ol' backlit computer monitor too long. :p

It makes sense to me. Unfortunately.

And since I'm here, sliding timelines outside of absurdist comedies suck.

I wish I could go vegetarian. Or at least pescatarian. But noooo, veggies have to be so goddamn expensive.

If I were to reboot the Fantastic Four, I'd make the team (and Doctor Doom) time travellers from a climate change-ravaged 2099, sent back to 1961 in an effort to rewrite history.

in the way i was taught from childhood, Jesus has:
-Value (people need Jesus)
-Use value (satisfies need to not go to hell)
-Exchange value (repentance, trade sin for Jesus)
-Price (death)

The Divine Commodity

I prefer the proto-socialist revolutionary philosopher Yeshua.

I think Yeshua would’ve liked my pun.

Dunno. It might've lost something in translation to Aramaic.

My favorite pun along those lines was "Jesus saves sinners, and redeems them for VALUABLE CASH PRIZES!"

But I was a seriously sheltered atheist growing up.  I thought Jesus was a bank until I was around nine, because of all the adverts about Jesus Saves in the eighties.  I wondered what the interest rate was.  But it turns out he was a really nice guy who got killed for advocating decency, so I felt pretty sheepish about that one later.

Hot damn! This hack allows one to program MS Word to easily paste text without formatting... without using one's cursor, far less Notepad as an intermediary! Sweet! :D

No joke, when I was driving my kids 20 minutes each way to preschool a couple of years ago one of them asked if Jesus is what bad drivers are called.
