The old school tv show The Avengers (BBC not MCU) did this well. The main characters were a male/female duo. The guy was a fopish but brilliant spy and his bodyguard was an asskicking race car driver. And who played this asskicking super bitch?
hate when people think the only archetype possible for a male sidekick to a female protagonist is a soft boi and/or himbo. like the implication there is that the only reason a man would ever defer to a woman’s authority is if he was a bumbling idiot. love male supporting characters who are smart and strong and confident and can step up when necessary but still kind and humble enough to let someone else take the lead most of the time

Trump is now polling underwater on every single issue, including the economy and immigration. Do not let him claim he has a mandate or is all powerful. We are the majority — not Trump.
Reasonable to dislike beer but here’s some information I picked up working briefly at a beer bar:
Beer ages both poorly and quickly. Its shelf life is for shit. Getting a fresh beer makes a huge difference in quality. I’ve heard that the beer sold around the overseas breweries are like heaven (Guiness and Pilsner urqell for example) since they may only be a few hours old.
Also, pretty sure OP is a preteen pretending to be an adult.
hard cider was invented when someone decided to make beer that tastes good instead of bad
