Also because Colbert previously was cancelled and that was already upsetting to many people. If Colbert wasn’t cancelled already We might not have seen enough people care when Kimmel was suspended
- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 2 days ago:
I didn’t say we didn’t. Not sure why you think I’m ignoring companies like Amazon. If they operated as freely as Vought does then yes it would look the same, but Vought created supers in The Boys and controlled access to them. Thats where I was pretty clear about establishing my opinion and how the real world is different from the world of The Boys.
- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 2 days ago:
No. If it’s just the getting powers and it’s not like a toxin thing that actually corrupts/poisons.
Absolutley there will be those that need to be put down hard, but I don’t think it would be as set up in The Boys
Part of why that world works the way it does is Vought. The other is that Homelander is tiers above the other characters and he is a psychopath raised by an evil organization. Given that no one was able to compare to Homelander he couldn’t be challenged. His treatment of other supes is a large reason why that is.
There would still be chaos, but it wouldn’t be like that show, I don’t think because there are many people that would actually just want to be helpful
Fame and fortune already makes people nutty, or rewards bad behavior maybe, but I don’t think the powers themselves would corrupt people and make them evil.

Scents and smells? That is so far beyond my ability to prepare but that’s awesome for you(I assume!)
Ive found its a good baseline to start with until you can gauge who you are speaking to.
In connection with the comic XKCD - 10000,it has helped a socially awkward geek like me when speaking to people in meetings or on projects. Kind of follow the I said it outright the first time and emphasize it slightly the first time I use a phrase if I’m going to refer to it a few times and try to shorten it for convenience

It was explained to me by someone I know who I trust. I would have to ask them or go looking. Unfortunately I haven’t been in contact with them so that’s not much of an option for the foreseeable future. As I said it is my understanding, I was led to believe this isn’t really something to argue about as the were entire books that no longer exist in modern versions. This was any 15 years ago and you are the first person to challenge that assertion I’ve made.
Sorrey if I’m mistaken or was misled

No worries, learned to have to speak as if no one knows anything when I started running DnD games. It’s really easy to do when you know a subject as well as you seem to

- Comment on political debate 2 weeks ago:
I’m you are talking about politics wrong… Somehow.
That CAN be what politics discussions are about but that’s very echo chamber, negative circle jerk types stuff.
One thing that helps to have more interesting conversations is think on different scales. How are neighborhood politics different from national politics? Not so national issues show up in every community.
How I see things, politicians, of all kinds, are supposed to exist to solve the common problems that enough people face but cannot solve by themselves or their group.
Local politicians can better serve local issues, so start talking about smaller politics when you are crashed into those types of conversations.
Small thing everywhere are more important to most people than large things nowhere. And you can at least get other people to stop talking about the danger dumb shit you address probably suck of hearing about.
It does take a bit of effort to get started but once you do it a few times it’s pretty effective (in my experience)
Also if you can tie food into the issue you bring up most people have opinions on food
- Comment on The man show was a left wing attack on incels. 2 weeks ago:
You can’t base your opinions of people by the performances you see. Or you will constantly be surprised like you are right now. Entertainment is all lies. Everyone is fake and just trying to get a paycheck when they start out on screen.
Also people do change and do learn from the things they did in the past, not everyone, and much less when you after a fundie trad biggot, but effect and if them do actually become reasonable people.
But you will never know the person Jimmy Kimmel is unless you are someone who gets to regularly see him when the cameras aren’t on.
That’s a lesson entirely too many people need to learn. You don’t know shit about even some of the people closest to you, why do you think you know a good damned thing about some person that’s always in front of a camera?
Go ask a grand parent, an auntie or uncle, a parent, your best friend, your favourite teacher, what was the worst thing they ever did to someone else?
You probably don’t know what they would say, and they probably won’t tell you

- Comment on What D&D alignment would my character(s) be? 3 weeks ago:
If any of the chars enjoy, encourage, or otherwise desire pain and suffering, they are evil.
wants to badly mistreat her
This is an evil act. If there is a reason for it outside of personal enjoyment it could be neutral or lawful depending on reasons.
What other acts do these characters condone? A characters alignment isn’t something a single act will always be a decided by but intent is pretty clear for Natasha if not the others.
That the others allow this they are neutral to some degree. If the characters are inconsistent in their actions chaotic might be part of their alignment.
That the others invited Catherine to this life as well and are pretty okay with Natasha’s plans so I would think they also are evil.
None of the characters can be good of any kind and allow this, let alone be party to it
