I'm straight but kinda want to make babies with J-roc. He's got the Street Cents.

Is that wrong?

Am I the only guy that seems to be able to take a dump regardless of the exact angle of my legs?

I've done some coding and some tech infrastructure work.

Some people are just predisposed to code. They just think differently, not dumb, not smart - just a way of thinking and remembering that makes them particularly good at it.

It's almost like learning a second language. You often know what you want to say but just knowing the right words is the hard part.

It's usually "I know a guy" kind of thing. Your friend would be your best bet.

The oilpatch is pretty good now for proper hiring practices, but the labor shortage in Alberta means that a lot of lazy, dumb people have good resumes. Having a hard worker vouch for you as a hard worker is often the best way to get your foot in the door.

I have read a significant portion of history of Marvel, which started out as a basically a series of cut-rate rip-off characters, dime store novels, detective stories, and essentially torture porn comics in the 30's. They were a shady business that frequently changed their name, employees and ripped off the competition.

Stan Lee was a long time employee who took the helm and made Marvel respectable, into what it became pre-disney.

That being said, at that time (40's to 70's) there didn't seem to be any expectation that the artists owned any part of the characters, as writers and inkers would bounce from series to series and company to company; with the characters often evolving as each new person was moved into and out of a title.

Would the lack of laws and "Culture of the time" so to speak have any effect on the case?

All respect to the artists, buy it does seem opportunistic that suddenly their heirs are wanting a slice 70 years down the road.
