Mayhaps there's a deeper analysis done somewhere, but that link only shows that executives often dismiss resumes due to 1-2 typos. It doesn't say anything about their reasoning for such. The group that sponsored the survey says they 'assume' a link, but show nothing substantiating it...

I have no skin in either camp, but having a movie universe separate from a theoretically related TV series isn't unheard of (DC's stuff for a recent example, even if Marvel does a good job of working everything together).

I see no mention of setting in the linked article. Did you have other sources?

Every year I plan to. Every year I fail to. Still, I have 29 days to try to start...

Yeah, I may have been more accusatory there than I intended, and I apologize for that. I wasn't trying to imply anything about Maxperson, just that the argument was similar to the type I indicated, in that just because someone has or something done has some good qualities, it does not mean that...

I really hope I'm wrong, but it reads like an evolved version of 'Some of my best friends are...'

While not recognizing the plot directly, are you sure it was a movie? It sounds easily like something that could have been a Twilight Zone or similar anthology series episode.

Giving him the benefit of the doubt, he may be refering to the difference between 'standard' names like 'John' or 'Shaniqua', vs 'creative' names like 'Moxy Crimefighter' or 'Apple Blossom'. That's not necessarily racist, although still a bit illogical to penalize a person because their parents...

You are sadly mistaken if you think those programs can adequately cover the needs of many that poor, and many of those programs disqualify those who try to work to increase their income, causing a catch-22 of mutually-exclusive ways to not be able to live above the poverty line.

Oh? You have the text of the feat somewhere? We know the feat is hard to get, which generally means it's something powerful. Simply disrupting a spell (an action anybody can take without any feats or class abilities) hardly seems 'powerful'. Even granting some bonuses on said check (or...

But generally speaking, the underlying reason is the institutionalized racism (or other -ism). You keep talking about the economic factors, but the truth is that minorities generally suffer higher rates of poverty because institutionalized racism makes it harder for them to get better educations...

How exactly was it an ass-pull? We had strips that showed Roy getting the special spell disruption feat (although not the details of said feat) and a strip talking about the sword's special effects vs undead (again, without details). That's foreshadowing (Chekov's Skill and Chekov's Gun), not...

Calista Flockhart's Cat Grant had a nice little speech in the pilot about why it's perfectly ok and still feminist to call Kara Supergirl.

DOOM cares not for chronological order!

DOOM does not like when others inch in on his methods!

That depends on whether Evil Superman is a nihilist or a tyrant.

I was positing a scenario with less collateral damage ;)

What?!? You mean a vampire lied?!?!

First past the post is only good because it's easy to count. Pretty much every other system requires calculations, weights, or cross-referencing tables. I'm a fan of ranking/preferential ballots, not proportional ballots. Better compromise to have 80% of people's second choice, than one that is...

Honestly, Evil Supes doesn't even need to 'innocently' meet Batman. He waits well out of sight until Bruce is travelling to work one morning and divebombs him at superspeed into pulp.
