I wish there had been a Sam and Twitch show.

Cool.

Warner Bros stock has fallen by 6% after it’s rebranding of HBO Max to just MAX

@icicle wicicle 1517
Geee… I wonder why?

@Commune
what…what movie, are we talking about? I thought the consensus on the Legendary Godzilla trilogy was that, it wasn’t bad?

He is talking about Renfield which has apparently had a somewhat disappointing opening weekend. The “classic monster” in this case is Dracula, who is one of several characters Universal made multiple horror movies about back in the 30s and 40s, along with Frankenstein (the monster), the Invisible Man, the Mummy, and the Wolf Man.

Cobra Bubbles isn’t in the Lilo and Stitch remake.
Disney messed up a remake holy crap that never happens

@Dex Stewart
Really? Was it that hard to find a big black guy to play Child Protective Services?

@Lord WyrmSpawN
They replaced him with a heavy woman.

@Dex Stewart
… couldn’t they just rehire Ving Rahmes again since he already voiced him in the original?

@icicle wicicle 1517
Well see, the problem there is that would mean the movie might be kinda good, and obviously, that’s not what they’re going for.

@icicle wicicle 1517
Perfect! The people who care about voice actors resembling their characters would be delighted!

WH40K bois help me out.

What’s the average life expectancy of the average grunt units in the Imperium of Man? In a grimdark world where apparently every single thing in the universe is out to kill you, how does anyone ever get to adulthood much less veterancy?

I could assume that it’s possible through sheer number of population alone, to basically outpace the mortality rate. OR, dead (or otherwise severely wounded and maimed) people come back either through magic or science (or just magic. Let’s be honest, the science and tech feel like magic with fancy hard-surface futuristic props)

If I’m going by the population number alone…that’d mean the birth rate in especially hostile and deadly worlds has to be exceptionally high.
Which means, at least, in the WH40K universe, people get a lotta actions. Silver lining, and all that.

@Dustcan
Mary Jane as Black Cat. I’d think this is a dream too.

@Lord WyrmSpawN
This is more of a case of the character being based off the actor intentionally.

@Dustcan
and then they throw him out the window.

@Dex Stewart
Right now I can only see one movie news Twitter saying that.
And not much showing up in the recent Google article when Searching Lilo and Stitch

Another time to remind myself Silksong is just a collective fever dream and it will never actually come out.

@tehwatever
A Rookie Imperial Guardsman deployed to his first Battlefield as a frontline soldier has an average Life expectancy of 15 hours.

@Background Pony #02EE
What’s the chance they’d even make it to recruitment in the first place, considering lots of worlds in 40K seem way too eager to cancel your life subscription.

And how do you square the fact that apparently every other day some continent-wide genocide happened somewhere, yet Man never seems to run out of people to send to die?

So my question is basically:
How many babies do women in 40k spawn in their natural lifespan on average?

Also considering their husbands most likely DIE sooner than later, so having some backup semen banks are helpful.

Also, if a Imperium male wants to optimize his baby-spawning rate then he will most likely plant his seed on multiple women

Meaning, polyamory is probably encouraged in 40K’s Imperium.
