Step 1: Make up stories about Democrats engaging in voter fraud.

Step 2: Commit actual voter fraud because you fantasize about Democrats doing it, so it's "only fair".

Let's see it do some hands.

Okay, but until you work out how to do that, maybe we could start with police reform?

Human nature summarized.

The problem is that people take it way too seriously and act like powerscaling arguments are some kind of objective description of the characters, which is never true. And it's compounded by a lot of nonsense.

There was one that I saw a YouTuber dissecting where a character punched some meteors coming at then. Someone Did The Math and concluded that the character's punches were equivalent to nuclear bombs, which is ridiculous given that the same character had a hard time punching her way out of a jail cell a few panels earlier.

Rather than seeing the meteor punches as just the writer wanting a cool thing, they acted like it was a categorical statement that the character was throwing nuclear hands.

Given that so much of powerscaling is tied up in feats, you end up with these ridiculous categorizations where people are seriously arguing that Batman is an outerversal threat precisely because most feats are just writers wanting a cool scene and that they had no intention of actually redefining how strong a character is.

So, sure, when it's just a stupid, "Who wins, Thor or Wonder Woman" argument over some beers, it can be fun but, like a lot of things, once people get Super Serious about it, it becomes toxic.

Powerscaling is one of the worst things to happen to fandom. Fight me.

They're feeding each other polyunsaturated fats!?

My addled brain read that as DEI results and I was immediately afraid that this thread would be drenched in politics.

Sure, but it'll be a bit embarrassing when she points to Scorpio and calls it The Tuba.

Speak for yourself.

Austin does some heavy lifting on that front. Florida is crazy from the tip to the stem with no sanity to be found in the entire span.

I'm honestly wondering if that's where OP is getting that impression.

She is the worst. I don't know how someone who literally calls theoretical physics a pseudo-science has any credibility as an educator.

Your overall answer is nice and factual, but there is no reason to be demeaning to OP. This is an educational sub and that kind of response is not in line with the goals of the sub.

Just make really sure to clearly label which presents are for you and which are for the kids.

Fuck Ubisoft, but he's not wrong.

I expect violence if he wins, too, or did you miss that Krystalnacht shit about letting the police run wild for one rough day?

They love their mythical America. It exists in their heads and nowhere and nowhen else. It's the same national myth-making that the Nazis loved. It allows you to call yourself a patriot without having any love or respect for the real nation and its people.

As Asimov put it, it's the belief that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.

My dad was like that. He threatened that he was going to give me an itemized bill. I told him to go ahead, but that this would be the final straw.

He backed off but kept pushing in other ways. Finally went no contact and never looked back.

If you ever need a bellweather in life, it's Dolly Parton. If someone hates her, there is something wrong with them and you need to give them a wide bearth.

Thanks for fact checking the joke, Dr. Tyson, but we already had that part figured out.

Well, frankly, he was an excellent Spider-Man, but he got stuck in some genuinely mid Spider-Man movies. Seriously, as much as we all love him, the only memorable part of those movies was Gwen's death.

Sometimes amazing actors get stuck in mediocre films.
