I should stop coming to these threads. At the end of the day, Batman is rich by day and personally fights crime at night. Everything else is just added on to make that premise work. It feels like a bit of a Thermian argument (“she’s naked because she breathes through her skin”)

Edit: there’s also something interesting to say about why “comic book” means “superheroes” in the US but “Donald Duck/Tintin/Astérix” in Western Europe

Crazy how much that 1.5% could have changed

At least half of all US voters is okay with all this, no?

It didn’t even need to be an image in the first place

I’m genuinely wondering if the cold war was any better than a third world war, because it still wrecked various countries in Asia, Africa and South-America

The other day I was thinking about tensions that exist in part because of British-drawn borders. Israel-Palestina, India-Pakistan. Can’t believe I forgot NI.

You should also be careful with merging posts if they’re in communities with a very different comment culture. Like, merging a pro-thing and an anti-thing post isn’t going to make anyone happy. Or merging one on a meme community and one with tightly enforced rules.

I feel like an adjacent one is having good conversations with people from very different countries (ideally face-to-face)

Swap out The Wild Robot and Fallen Leaves for Beau is Afraid and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and you have my list, nice

Computer science has absolutely nothing to do with support, they are totally different fields with totally different skill sets.

That also holds for computer science and programming :)

It does not 😂. Schwör = swear, so putting it back together it’s something like forswearing.

I haven’t seen a version that says lost in the woods, just alone. Either way though, you can see it as saying they’d take a chance of being mauled over a chance of being raped.

You’re changing the hypothetical into something it’s not. “Odds of success” are a weird thing to think about when it’s just a walk in the woods.

…yes? Why wouldn’t it be

Democratic socialism (DemSoc) is a specific term (not to be confused with SocDem). Unless your point was that DemSoc is a bad term?

New typing quirk just dropped

Something about this feels like it’s ten years old. It was a different time.

Conservatives? I read this as a SocDem post
