...how kid friendly? Haven't been able to introduce my kids to his stuff yet!

I want a horror movie where some of the heroes are genre-savvy, Practical Guide to Evil style. I picture it starting as a horror, and shifting into a kind of heist storyline

...I would be very interested in seeing how you describe your hummingbirds!

I certainly hope that happens. But it's not a reliable enough consequence to justify the currently low level of fines, which was how I read your earlier comment.

That seems like a pretty weak consequence, and not an intended one. Worse, it's one likely to be least impactful for the worst offenders - a megacorp isn't going to care much about fines, and the market won't see any danger to their investment in them.

That is such a frustrating storyline... Why couldn't they just slap a suppression collar on him? Or see if there's a material that might block his power, and make him a suit out of that? Or get him a LMD and let him live virtually through that while he stays safely stashed somewhere? Why do they go straight to "kill him, he's bad PR for us!!!"

The older one just had a dental appointment today, and was uncomfortable with some of the procedures. My wife talked him through things along with the hygenist, and for a few things she took a different approach he was more comfortable with.

With vaccine reluctance, we generally go straight to bribes. We treat ourselves after doing something like that anyway, so why not them?

So far, we haven't had any issues yet!

We've been doing this with our kids; and when they say "no" and someone doesn't stop, you better believe they say something about it!

Similarly, we've been getting consent before the doctor checks any underwear space. No pushback from any doctors or nurses for that either.
