| Topic | Can someone explain WandaVision to me? (***SPOILERS***) |
| jcmason 01/29/21 7:46:52 AM #7 | Im the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Wanda (the Scarlett Witch) can do magic. She also does some mind control/illusion magic when she first shows up but they pretty much drop that entirely after her initial appearance in the Ultron film, so she just has strong magic powers now. Note that in other media her powers are a bit different, but I dont think that matters for WandaVision. In the MCU, Vision is basically a sentient robot who can fly, change density (either to hit really hard with a more solid density or to phase through solid matter by becoming less dense) and he can also shoot laser beams out of the stone in his forehead. He and Wanda dont really get a lot of development in the MCU, so WandaVision is kind of our first more in-depth look into these characters, beyond about five minutes of some interaction in Infinity War. --- https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=545336 i7-7700K|H80|Z270|8GB 1070 GTX|16GB DDR4 @3200MHz|Corsair Graphite Series 600T White |

I didnt have any cable/satellite television so it was just the 4 or 5 over-the-air channels that we could watch. When streaming became more common, I have found myself watching PBS content on streaming services as well.

| Topic | My co-worker: "I gave my husband a BJ so he'd watch the kids tonight' |
| jcmason 12/14/20 8:38:30 AM #10 | Sex was likely always transactional for that couple, even before they were made and/or had kids. Some couples just handle sex that way. Personally I dont think its healthy. Also, the fact that the husband has to watch the kids as a favor suggests that the rest of the time he is likely less-than-involved in their raising and caregiving, which also strikes me as unfortunate. Every couple finds their own balances, but that is definitely not the kind of life I lead. --- https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=545336 i7-7700K|H80|Z270|8GB 1070 GTX|16GB DDR4 @3200MHz|Corsair Graphite Series 600T White |

| jcmason 12/07/20 8:46:44 AM #2 | We were able to talk two extended family members into doing a strict lockdown/quarantine for a couple weeks leading up to Xmas so well actually be able to visit them on Xmas Eve assuming they arent showing any symptoms to be concerned about in that period. Nobody was willing to do that for Thanksgiving, and I know my wife felt pretty lonely there, so this is kind of a huge improvement for her. Weve been living the lockdown life since late March and she is struggling with it, so having this little bit of a visit with family is big for her.

| jcmason 12/01/20 7:03:57 AM #10 | I did Audible for like 4 or 5 years, and got a lot of good use out of it. Mostly did fiction fantasy stuff, and the production values were decent. Did a few non-fiction (biographies and the like) and they were good too, though typically a bit drier but I think thats more due to the content than the narrators. As other users have mentioned, your local library is a great resource though. I canceled my Audible subscription about a year ago and havent really missed it. Of course, I can still listen to the stuff I already purchased there, but the public library resource really is incredible. --- https://join.worldcommunitygrid.org?recruiterId=545336 i7-7700K|H80|Z270|8GB 1070 GTX|16GB DDR4 @3200MHz|Corsair Graphite Series 600T White |

| jcmason 11/25/20 8:40:08 AM #34 | I'd be happy to have universal healthcare provided by the government, and I'd be happy to raise taxes to cover it. I also think some budget readjusting could be done, and taxes could be better levied on the wealthy, and such to reduce the tax load on the average American. But even if I had to pay a couple grand more each year in taxes to cover this, I'd still come out ahead since I'm already paying that much for the health insurance I have through work, which would go away.
