Science Makes me Nervous Sometimes
Specifically, this.
The first beams are due for injection in August 2008, with the first collisions planned to take place about two months later. The LHC will become the world's largest and highest-energy particle accelerator.
Are we absolutely 100% sure that this isn't going to cause some sort of horrible apocalypse scenario? Because I am not okay with it, if we're not. Even if it's ~for science~.
Also, I saw Iron Man, and it was fucking amazing, which was neat because I wasn't exactly an Iron Man fan (look, in my brain, he is associated with Captain America, and Captain America is Marvel's Superman, and we all know how I feel about Superman. I don't even care that supposedly this is not true, so stfu about that.)
So now I'm reading tons of meta and "Intro to Tony Stark!" posts, so that I don't have to actually read any of the comics and, you know, have my brain tainted by Cap.
At least until I go see the Captain America movie. At which point I'm sure I will give up all pretense of untaintedness* and start gobbling up Avengers comics.
ANYWAY. BASICALLY. This was all a point to say how I love this post that very succinctly explains why Tony Stark is incapable of having a long-term relationship with any woman, period, without some character growth. OH TONY STARK. *________*
*Let's just say I loved 1602 and leave it at that, okay?

He's not slept with Pepper Potts! Something which EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW APPARENTLY BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY THAT RELATIONSHIP COULD EVER WORK OUT EVER IN THE WHOLE ENTIRE HISTORY AND FUTURE OF THE WORLD AND PEOPLE WHO WRITE IT ARE DUMB AND CLEARLY NOT COMIC FANS and oh man I loooooooooove lol defensive comicverse fans. I'M SORRY YOUR PRECIOUS HAPPY HOGAN BARELY EVEN HAD A CAMEO IN THE MOVIE AND THAT CLEARLY THE MOVIEVERSE SHIP TO BE SHIPPING IS TONY/PEPPER(/RHODEY). :(
Hey, are you one of the memers who thinks that the SHRA is a good idea and/or not at all like the Mutant Registration Act?
no subject
sry2say a Tony Stark who would pass up the chance to have sex with an efficient lady who looks exactly like Gwyneth Paltrow is not a Tony Stark I can support. >:( THAT IS NOT A MAN I WANT DEFENDING THE HUMAN RACE TYVM.
The SHRA is stupid but I support it because I don't want to be on the same side as Captain America.
lol priorities.
no subject
Also, I am pretty sure the only reason he hasn't slept with her is because she's like "LOL NO". Because, you see, she has standards. Unlike my poor little iron-suited woobie. *______*
OKAY I AM GOING TO RANT AT YOU ABOUT SHRA NOW. BECAUSE. DSJKLAJSDKFL;JASDF.
YOU SEE. THERE WAS THIS ONE WHERE I COMPARED IT TO THE MRA ONMEME, AND SOME MEMER WAS LIKE 'LOL NO' AND I GOT REALLY ANGRY. REALLY REALLY ANGRY.
Mmmm although, it didn't help that I was trolling the comics mice at the time. So maybe they were just all het up because I was hating on Captain America. BUT. YOU KNOW. JUST BECAUSE I'VE NEVER READ ANYTHING HE'S BEEN IN DOESN'T MEAN I CAN'T HATE HIM.
But anyway. I don't even understand how you can't see the parallels. ESPECIALLY SINCE the SHRA is basically exactly the fucking same as the MRA. I mean, okay, yes. People like, oh say, Tony Stark (AKA THE MAIN BUGGER IN FAVOR OF IT) could opt out by virtue of the fact that they're human. He could just say "Okay, if I don't want to participate in these shenanigans then I just won't use my robots for good (or evil)."
Whereas, hi, Spiderman? Does not have that choice! Because he can't just magically stop being a radiation-poisoned freak of nature! So, okay, he could stop helping people and hope that he can slide under the radar. But, seriously, how well do you think that would work?
AND. AND. MOST IMPORTANTLY. IF THIS WERE A DC CREATION, I COULD SEE HOW PEOPLE COULD THINK THAT MAYBE IT WOULD BE USED FOR GOOD. MAYBE.
BUT THIS IS THE SAME COMPANY THAT BROUGHT US THE FRIGGIN MRA IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND, LIKE. HELLO. WE KNOW HOW THAT WOULD'VE TURNED OUT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH BLATANT GODWIN ALLEGORY.
In conclusion, I want to bunch both of those memers in the face. With a crowbar. Made of adamantium. And wielded by the Hulk.

Yeah, I have decided that I'm not on Cap's side. I'm on MY OWN side. Because you know what? The SHRA would be useful if it were voluntary. Like, you register, and you get kickbacks from the government or whatever.
Yes. I like that plan.
no subject
Wouldn't that only benefit superhumans who were already in a position of privilege, though? D: Kind of like only taxing the poor, and people like Stark would get nice kickbacks from the government heaped on all the other privileges they have while people like Peter Parker would just get nothing. DDDD:
LOL OVERTHINKING COMIC BOOKS.
no subject
Oh shit, I totally did not even think of that. :( I was just thinking that there needs to be an incentive so that people aren't just like "YEAH WHATEVER WHO NEEDS THE SHRA". Because, idk.
Like, I can totally see what that memer means about needing something like that... except for have a registry doesn't change that there'll still be epic amounts of damage and stuff. It just means that, you know, you'll know who did the damage and... uh... be able to hold them accountable?
Although, really, they're saving your ass from some supervillain who wants to take over the world, so I figure they should get to destroy whatever they want in the process. Since, you know, rebuilding a city > whatever the villain had planned.
MAN I COULD TALK ABOUT COMIC BOOKS ALL DAY.
Maybe!! Maybe if you registered YOU WOULD GET A PUPPY OR A KITTEN OR BOTH *__________*
no subject
THEY SEEMED QUITE INTERESTED.
No no no no no no!!! >:( I CANNOT BEAR IT IN COMICS AND MOVIES AND STUFF WHEN THEY DESTROY PUBLIC PROPERTY WHILE SAVING THE EARTH, IT REALLY UPSETS ME ahdheier;weeWHWHWIhdld;iwu THE MEME DID A VIEWING PARTY OF CASINO ROYALE ONCE AND HALF WAY THROUGH THE MOVIE THEY WERE ALL EXCITED OVER THE POKER OR GUNS OR WHATEVER AND I WAS STILL LIKE "HE LEFT THE TAP RUNNING AT THE START OF THE MOVIE!!!! D:"
Sometimes I still wonder whether someone came in and turned it off or the bathroom suffered damage because of his carelessness. I mean why didn't he turn it off, it only takes a second. I just.
I.
Why.
THIS REALLY BOTHERS ME.
What were we talking about again?

Hey you know mutton is really gross unless it's ground up and turned into sheepburger. THAT IS MY THOUGHT ON SHEEP. The same goes for lamb. OM NOM NOM BURGERS WEEEEEEE. They're even more delicious when the burger is 3 parts sheep and 1 part moo-cow.
UM. YEAH. SUPERHEROES. AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. Oh my god how can you not like watching shit blow up??
Okay, it is time for me to go to class. WHEN I GET THERE, WE CAN CONTINUE LOL OVERANALYZING COMICS Y/Y/PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS DUMBASS >:(?

This is why I can't watch Ultraman. :( Massive monsters like Godzilla all over the place and Ultraman's all massive too and they're just stamping around all over the city knocking buildings over, WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO NOTE THEY NEVER MENTION EVACUATING (!!!!!!!) and nobody ever says anything about paying for it and insurance probably doesn't even cover Godzilla stamping on your office because wtf no and I just CANNOT TAKE IT. IT'S STRESSFUL.
Cow and sheep are best when they are chicken. MMMM CHICKENMEAT.

OOPS.
SO WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON CAR CHASES? The one in Batman Begins was pretty epic, but I bet it caused a lot of car accidents (besides the ones we saw onscreen).
no subject
SRSLY GUYS, YOU'RE IN A HURRY. I GET THAT. I SYMPATHISE. BUT THE SPEED LIMIT IS MORE IMPORTANT. >:( YOU CAN TALK ABOUT ~SAVING GOTHAM~ AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE BUT IF YOU'RE OUT THERE ON GOTHAM'S MOTORWAYS CAUSING LOTS OF !!POSSIBLY FATAL!! ACCIDENTS HOW CAN YOU CLAIM TO BE ANY BETTER THAN THE GUYS YOU GO UP AGAINST? >:( SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT!

I am so in love with Tony Stark. I mean, he is all of my ridiculous character kinks stuffed into one human package. *_________* He's affection-starved! And hates himself! And and and AND ALL HE NEEDS IS A HUG MAN *___________*

Apparently. According to people who actually study this stuff.

That's totally what I picture this itty bitty black hole doing. Sure, it starts tiny and cute... but so do man-eating tigers.
I can't believe my watching a couple seasons of Buffy finally came in handy
