- Comment on Uncle Ben should be alive in further adaptions in Spider-Man 1 week ago:
This is a terrible analogy, because it insanely understates the importance of someone like uncle Ben, but think of him like one of your legs.
You’ve never known life without your legs. No matter what, you have always been able to count on the fact that tomorrow you will be able to walk. Sure, some days your legs hurt, and they clearly don’t want to do any walking, but they will if you need them to. Now imagine that you did something stupid that resulted in you completely shattering all the bones in one of your legs. The only option is to amputate that leg. You wake up after the surgery, missing a leg. Suddenly, that leg that you’ve never known life without is not there. You want to get up to take a piss, but you can’t because you’re missing a leg. You want to go over to get a drink from the tap over there, but you can’t because you’re missing a leg. The remote for the TV in the room is over there, but you can’t get it because you’re missing a leg. Almost every aspect of your life changes after that one surgery, and you know this is all because of your own actions.
That gives a glimpse at how much Peter Parker’s life gets fucked up when Ben dies. Uncle Ben was one of the few constant things in Peter’s rocky life. Now he’s gone. All because Peter chose not to take action. I don’t blame Peter for wanting revenge, then taking the memory of Ben and using it as motivation to do better.
As I said, terrible analogy because a person is way more than a leg.

If we’re continuing this analogy, did python or js take more drugs?
- Comment on People dont believe protesting works if they will only do it on their day off. 2 weeks ago:
I think you can do a peaceful protest and still have it be effective, as long as it’s disruptive. Strikes are a good example. Rich people care about a protest as long as you can threaten their bottom line

- Comment on If someone from a rich family chooses not to date a poor or middle-class people thats not "wrong" 3 weeks ago:
I’d actually expect it to be that way more often than not. If you’re poor you can’t spend recklessly, and if you have a big enough income there’s much less reason to budget much.
- Comment on A truck bed with a tonneau over it is just an SUV trunk with extra steps. 3 weeks ago:
In most cases, yes. But it is better for carrying dirty stuff, and the canopy can be taken off of you need to carry something huge.
Still worse for most uses, plus utes and SUVs are way too big to be practical most of the time.
- Comment on "fridging" is honestly the only good motivation to become a superhero or good person 3 weeks ago:
I’m not gonna bother with saying that the other losses that you’re discounting can be just as tragic as losing a romantic partner. Everyone else here has said it probably better than I could.
What I’ll bring up is that not only are there more kinds of revenge motivation than the loss of someone close to you, there are more motivations than just revenge. For other kinds of revenge, what about wounded honour? A hunter who’s prey keeps escaping them might feel the need to finally end that hunt before they can look themselves in the eye. That’s its own form of revenge arc, and it can make just as powerful a story as avenging the loss of a loved one. And for non revenge motivations, there’s far too many to list, but here’s a start
- duty
- repaying a debt to the world
- self improvement
- survival (usually more of a side character motive compared to a hero protagonist, but still good)
- seeking admiration (from people in general or from a few important people)

- Comment on People with six fingers can get away with anything, because everyone will assume that any videos of them were AI-generated. 5 weeks ago:
There was a guy who tried something similar. He got the custom number plate “null”, hoping the database would record any entries of his plate as
nullnot“null”so it would not go back to him. Ended up doing the opposite, and he got all the tickets from whenever the cop didn’t record the plate. - Comment on Everytime I use frozen spinach in a recipe 1 month ago:
