Seemingly so

Special Order 191 (series 1862), also known as the "Lost Dispatch" and the "Lost Order", was a general movement order issued by Confederate Army General Robert E. Lee on about September 9, 1862, during the Maryland Campaign of the American Civil War. A lost copy of this order was recovered on September 13 by Union Army troops in Frederick County, Maryland, and read by General George B. McClellan, who changed the direction of his movement to conform to Lee's movements the document described.

About noon on September 13, Corporal Barton W. Mitchell of the 27th Indiana Volunteers, part of the Union XII Corps, discovered cigars wrapped in a piece of paper lying in the grass at a campground.

To be fair, aging tends to involve gathering objects over the years. So unless you hit really hard times, you to end up collecting a lot of what you "need". Age also makes most people care less what other people think you should have, so you don't feel that you have to buy many things outside of what you actually want and need.

For me it's only easy to ignore if there is some background sound. By that I mean the most basics like the fans on a computer or just the wind outside. Or the echo of the room itself.

The problem is that I like to use over-the-ear closed headphones that block out most noise. So as soon as I stop playing anything, it becomes very obvious.

It's all fun and games until you get even mild tinnitus and need some sound to not constantly hear iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Yeah, based on parties I attended in my twenties: I can testify that while reality show couple fights are usually exaggerated, that stuff actually does happen.

That's why it hasn't been made yet, actually collecting the data is the time consuming part.

You could literally make it as a static page with an HTML table using old-school borders and zero CSS. Hell, that might actually help convince the older republicans even more.

Although to be fair, you could probably use "ai" to collect a lot of the basics about who has done similiar things. That way you just have to check if it's true and get the link, instead of trying to research each thing.

That's a pretty nice website. Although I was more thinking of a very simple one that is literally just a table. With his actions in the first column, and a second column listing which dictators have done a very similar thing and when.

Having it directly show which dictators have done the same things and how many of his statements and orders match their rise to power, is a simple graphic to let people relate to the dangers directly from what they know.

That has been debated to death before and it obviously depends on the writer and version of the characters, but in most cases neither are fully immovable or unstoppable. If they were, Juggernaut would probably just be redirected and keep going.

A little more practically speaking, Juggernaut wins easily:

  • The Blob is a mutant who can basically lock himself to the ground with a short distance around him and become immovable in relation to the ground while being able to absorb most impacts to effectively eliminate the force experience by him and thus the ground.

  • The Juggernaut is not a mutant, but an avatar of Cyttorak the Destroyer, the God/Demon ruler of the Crimson Cosmos dimension. He can tap into more and more of that power to the point where he can fight a somewhat angry Hulk on almost equal ground(he's even defeated him with some help).

Even if you let Blob be immovable and able to ignore all kinetic force, he still has a big weakness: He's not very superhuman when it comes to other forms of damage, or just pain in general. As demonstrated when he tried to go after one of the intelligent versions of Hulk. Hulk realized he couldn't move or hurt him, so he grabbed his stomach and started pulling. It quickly hurt so much that he instinctively stopped anchoring himself to the ground. At which point he basically became an invincible bouncing ball since he can't attach to the air. SoHulk treated him as one, until he sent him flying by using a big metal girder as a bat. And it's important to note that Blob is not very strong or good at fighting when it comes to superhumans, since he basically just relies on his powers.

And to expand on the Crimson Cosmos: It is so powerful that Doctor Strange taps into it to contain Hulk. It's even used to contain Thanos with most of the stones in the MCU(The red cloth strips that hold him is a spell called the "Crimson Bands of Cyttorak")

At this point I'm surprised someone hasn't made a website with a checklist comparing his actions to a different dicators throughout history and how many have done the same things.

He's actually following Hitler's playbook.

Although the last three months have made me realize that the average American has no idea what happened in Germany during the 1930s, beyond the single phrase "Hitler rose to power".

Turning the government into his personal deparments, installing puppet heads, arresting judges, disappearing people based on ethnicity and putting them into prisons in a foreign country, creating lists of people with disabilities. militarizing the police, etc.

Based on all recorded political history and conservatives love of projection, I'm guessing he is one of the more extreme kinky types of furry himself. Nothing illegal, but really disgusting to other people.

Based on how many conservatives actually buy that crap, I can't wait for the outcry.
