she said no

then she proceeded to throw his shield into the mountains somewhere

Big Boss Energy

A resort ... mmm Kay. Who's paying his bill guys?

Kick his butt. Kick his butt. Kick his butt

Annnnnd we are back to the other X-men

Is that BEAST'S GIRLFRIEND THE LOVELY CARLY OR CARY I CANT SPELL HER NAME THE REPORTER LADY

Love how the same mutants show up everytime in the background

Not the statue heads of Magneto and Charles 😢

Jubliee convincing Reberto to tell his parents. I'm so proud of him. 👏

BEAST IS ANGRY 😡

A little Jean and Scott moment. Good for them they need it.

Why am I not surprised EMMA FROST is the first survivor they find

Also sorry Scott. We know you love Jean and Madelyn. (That's not how her names spelt my bad)

Back to Rogue

Nightcrawler being a good brother

Him KNOWING ABOUT HER AND MAGNETO

No she's crying.

Their all there for her. I'm so happy

EVIL NASTY MAN. EVIL NASTY MAN

HE Killed Him. He killed Gyrich.

I skipped over Jubliee and Roberto. My bad.

Love how his mom knew

Shes like honey if your weren't a mutant I be concerned

'It was your secret to tell.'

'Spriters anyone?' Like ma'am. You just made a reference to him maybe not seeing Jubliee anymore and your offering drinks?

Back to the other X-men

Forgot to mention how much I enjoyed watching Trask tell them the truth

Also Morph being like 'He created the master mold let's like not trust him.' Aka he's evillll. 😈

Sleeping GAS

(Notice as I was typing this that I have the scenes backwards. Whoops)

Is it me or do those robots kinda look like ultron?

Trask really be losing his mind right now. I actually feel bad for him.

Love how Trask is ratting out Sinister tho

Like he took one look at what Sinsiter did and went NOPE. Gonna go rat him out to the group of mutants I have been trying to kill since season one of the original show.

ROGUE DROPPING HIM

GIRRRRRRRL

SHE DEADLY

'Is this what we are now?' A great question Morph. The answer is ... complicated.

HUMAN SENTINEL!!

Dude he knocked Rogue OUT

Love the little Nightcrawler saving Rogue moment. Thank you creators for my fill of sweet siblings.

Morph getting hurt and Wolverine yelling his name

I ship it

You GET YOUR HAND OFF SCOTT

Never in my life have I liked Cyclops but this show has changed me

SO GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY SON

CABLE. CABLE. CABLE.

Jean reading his mind to figure it out

'Let's skip the reunion dad.' I'm dying

That Song. I don't know if I hate it or love it.

MAGNETO!

ERIK MAGNUS LESNHARR

MY HUSBAND?!

BASTION YOU GET YOUR NASTY HANDS OFF MY MAGNETIC HUSBAND

I don't care if he has facial hair you don't touch him

Also love how Magneto has the mutant collar AND tape over his mouth

Plus cuffs around his hands sticking him to the chair

Like I understand the collar and the chair but like the tape?

This man is the master of magnetism not screaming really loud

Also you be in the middle of nowhere

Who's gonna hear him?

But once again

GET YOUR HANDS AND THAT BLADE AWAY FROM MY HUSBAND YOU D*CK

'Just obey. Just listen. You were made for this.'

Leave Erik alone.

• Maybe a few unfavorable opinions •

Erik is a holocaust victim. And jewish/german. Was treated like crap and Bastion is out here telling him that he was made to obey to be Bastion's plaything?

That he was made to be a Slave

cause I don't know if you all got that vibe from that scene but I definitely did

Especially if you know ANYTHING about Bastion

The guy makes Red Skull look sane

Bro I hope Rogue finds you and tears you a new one

Or Charles.

Or any of the X-men for that matter

Actually in my honest opinion it probably be Wolverine. Like I'm gonna call it right now. If Charles doesn't find Magento telepathically. Five bucks says somehow Wolverine does.

Or Bastion turns Magento into a sentinel

Actually don't do that

Please

Leave my somewhat questionable but trying his best to play nice with humans master of magnetism husband alone.

He deserves better

They all do

Expect Sinister.

He can die in a ditch for all I care

And Bastion ... sadly

For plot reasons we gotta sacrifice Bastion

Sorry bud

Gonna say also that Cable might have to go back in time cause I don't feel like they are going to keep Gambit dead.

But that's just me.

Thanks for reading my ranting

I don't get americans...

Always screeching about injustice of black people and all. But it feels like they ALWAYS miss the fact that Black folks have a much higher tendency to be criminal.

Don't get me wrong crime and injustice is color blind. It comes in all colors and all genders (even if some deny that). But compared right next to each other the rates are usually higher among those who screech the loudest of being a victim of the society.

The cases like the one are, dare I say, exceptions? Because Cops have become terrified of being torn apart by the mob for doing their job and are forced to let certain people get away with a lot more.

Racism is bad. It happens to everyone and maybe we would do better if we stop using the color of our skin to determine the value of someone. A wise man once said that to stop racism is to stop talking about it. But since skin color has become a free-victim card people bathe in their victimhood and enjoy the attention they get because they get positive attention for doing nothing. They haven't earn anything yet the world bows around them...

It's sad.

This is not what the people who fought for equality wanted...

It's the opposite...

The ideal is to judge people by the content of their character instead of their skin color, nationality, religion, etc. I try to get that across to my (mostly white) coworkers, that one shouldn't constantly put someone down for a minor personality quirk when (this office) the world is full of low lives who two-time their spouses, run away from their bills and/or brag about picking up prostitutes on vacation.

I get told I'm not allowed to put down low lives because 'you don't know their walk of life! You don't know what sort of adversity they've been through!' (Even though I've been through traumatic events but don't use it as an excuse to waste my life and contribute nothing to society). Because of victimhood ideology, society gets taken hostage by the lowest common denominator. Someone on other social media called it the 'cult of indiscriminateness' where no crime is considered terrible except for the crime of judging people.

That 'judge not lest you be judged' bs makes sense in a spiritual sense, but in a worldly sense, refusing to judge criminal behavior will eventually cause civilizational collapse.

WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS

WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS (Feed generated with FetchRSS) via Just A Thought September 16, 2024 at 03:09PM

Electricity supply is the stuff that comes from power plants. Those plants might be powered by coal or natural gas, or by renewables, like wind and solar. The cost of delivery, or transmission and distribution, reflects the many moving parts it takes to get that supply from the power plant to your living room. This includes operating and maintaining the grid as well as any big investments to repair or upgrade the grid by, for example, installing new high-voltage transmission lines that could be used to connect renewable energy sources to the grid.

That said, clean energy is not the culprit when it comes to rising electricity prices, according to the recent report from Energy Innovation. Volatility in natural gas prices, including the huge spikes following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has certainly contributed to some price increases on the supply side. But the transmission and distribution costs have actually been going up at twice the rate of inflation nationwide, the report’s author, Brendan Pierpont, told me.

“That trend of increasing transmission and distribution costs is something that is noticeable all across the country, and so I think it’s an underlying factor in rate increases everywhere,” Pierpont said.

Utility companies have a lot of freedom in setting rates for transmission and distribution — and that directly contributes to how much profit they make. Utilities get to pick what gets upgraded when, and they also have an incentive to spend heavily, thanks to regulations that allow them to collect return on investment, usually around 10 percent, for those expenditures. This is actually built into the price most people pay for electricity.

Here’s how it works: Every year, utility companies ask regulators to approve a “revenue requirement,” which is basically a budget for what the utilities think it will cost to deliver enough electricity to their customers. Those estimates include spending on new equipment but not the cost of repairing old equipment. It also includes that return on investment, or profit, which regulators regularly approve. In Pierpont’s words, “That rate of return has a direct link to the costs that customers pay for electricity.”

What utilities don’t seem to be doing, however, is expanding the grid in a way that would benefit clean energy producers, the Energy Innovation report finds. Investments tend to cover local upgrades, like installing new metering equipment, rather than installing the high-voltage transmission lines that renewable energy sources need to connect to the grid. Meanwhile, consumers are facing more frequent outages that last longer, while utilities keep making more money for installing new, potentially unnecessary equipment.

“It’s like the utilities have a rewards credit card,” said Joel Rosenberg of Rewiring America, a nonprofit focused on electrification. “And they get to keep the rewards for how much they spend, and the [customers] have to pay off the bill, even if that bill takes 80 years to pay off.”

This makes me so sad and also I'm trying to remember if any of the Discworld books dealt with late stage capitalism

[dragonofdarkness666]

A woman with a behavioral problem embarrasses the US to promote her only...

"why we can't have nice things.."

[isawthismeme]

She’s brown and a democrat, gotta get that birth certificate, that we’ll call fake news anyway. Apparently, if you can’t win in a fight, you gotta at least try to get your opponent disqualified.

Sad and weird.

I used to have a ton of posters in my bedroom but I ended up losing them or having to take them down (one fell onto me in my sleep) after a while.

Which is a bit of a pisser.

[gwydionmisha]

I'm so angry about this.
