I like how in the old comics they'd give the superhero some weakness that would negate their powers.
For Green Lantern it was the color yellow. For the Martian Manhunter it was fire. For Wonder Woman it was being tied up.*
*Wasn't sure if I remembered it right so I did a search. Over a million entries for 'Wonder Woman tied up.' Lotta comic fans out there.
WWs creator was a fairly well known bondage enthusiast. It’s not a secret, the only mystery is why DC decided to make it a part of her canon lore, even to this day.
She also has a lasso, so she’s not the only one in her stories to get tied up.
I don’t know, that kind of makes her cooler to me. She’s always been kinda like “the girly Superman” to me (I know, I know, Supergirl, etc…). She’s just…bleh. Boring. But I was always an X-Men and Batman kid. And The Tick!
Do not compare your vs others ability when you’re operating with a different set of tools.
Starting a fire with a hand drill is a much bigger job than with a blow torch.

I’m one of God’s weak soldiers and I relate, lol. This is why it’s important to be empathetic and have a softer approach to people as much as we can afford it!
Mocking our weakness would be very on brand for the abrahamic god.
When there was only one set of footprints in the sand its because you were strong enough to walk alone
Or it’s because they walk single-file to hide their numbers.
And these blast marks, too accurate for sand people. Only Imperial Stormtroopers are so precise.
Maybe one of them was Good King Wenceslas.
Maybe the "battle" and "soldier" memes are an outgrowth of the military industrial complex, and just maybe we'd be better off abandoning them.
Oh fuck it’s the lemmy shitpost police
dude, that’s outgrowth of law enforcement, maybe we’re better off abandoning the analogy
I think those predate the MIC, and even written language. See e.g. The Epic of Gilgamesh.
it goes deeper than we thought!
Ya we were having battles and shit before humans were humans (i.e. pre Homo sapien)
Just like asking someone with a walker to run around the block.
Every man and every woman is a star.
Every number is infinite; there is no difference.

For a long time I was confused by two seemingly separate pieces of information.
The majority of people I seem to interact with seem to act like communications are effortless. “Just pick up the phone”. “It’s just an email”.
Most communications I get are terrible. Like, the number of times I need to restrain myself from typing “as I mentioned in the email below” is insane, or how often I send an email with a bulleted list of issues that need to be addressed and the response only addresses a fraction of them while the rest are ignores.
Then I realized that most people are stupid, casual, and oblivious. They put very little effort into communications, so while they seem so easy and effortless they are harming the quality of that communication.

To your second point:
I typically will reply with just the bulleted points they didn’t address and then keep sending it with less and less bullets until either they answer all points or stop replying… after the third or fourth reminder email. I make sure the previous emails are in the string and never change the title.

One of the most common problems with communication is that many people believe it is easy. There is a reason professional communication courses exist

This applies to so many facets of life. It is only hard if you care. Like parenting.
