There’s an episode of How I Met Your Mother where Marshall and Lily try this
- Comment on It's weird how we say "go to sleep" as if sleep is a place 4 days ago:
I think I believed that for a time when I was a kid, that dreamland was a physical place people went to when sleeping

- Comment on We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation 1 week ago:
In my opinion, the name you use at home would be your true self and the name you use at work would be the disguise because most people put on a professional persona at work and don’t behave naturally. It woukd ultimately depend on the individual though, some people might feel more like their true selves at work than outside work

In my opinion, Batman’s true identity is Batman and Bruce Wayne is the disguise, but for most heroes their personal name is their true self and the superhero is the disguise
- Comment on We should be able to legally have a different name just for work for better work/life separation 1 week ago:
The idea reminds me of superheroes going by different names as superheroes than their personal names. Traditionally this is because of secret identities but in the MCU, most of the heroes don’t have secret identities.
“Oh we’re using our made up names. I’m Spiderman”

My brither-in-law goes by his first name at work and his middle name with family and friends
- Comment on America is in the 5 stages of grief 1 week ago:
I think most people actually fluctuate between stages
- Comment on America is in the 5 stages of grief 1 week ago:
I think too many are still in denial
- Comment on Eating would be weird if we didn't enjoy it. 1 week ago:
I guess we evolved to enjoy eating; those that didn’t enjoy it didn’t live as long
- Comment on I'm curious. 1 week ago:
Ignorance doesn’t seem to be bliss at all. The most ignorant people seem to be the most angry and scared of things they don’t understand
- Comment on Germans must be pretty happy. 1 week ago:
No, I imagine Germans are not happy. I imagine they’re as sad as anybody that America failed to learn from Germany’s mistakes. Only the extremely selfish and narcissistic would go “hey my country looks better now because another country is committing atrocities”

Good theory but the math is off, 30+30+30 only adds up to 90. What about the other 10%?

I haven’t seen the new Superman yet. I’m going on Tuesday cause that’s the cheap day where I live. I’m looking forward to it though. I found Captain America 4 cathartic, watching a black Captain America beat up and angry president. I think Superman will also be cathartic with what’s going on in America

IronHeart. I don’t know if Riri is dirt poor but her needing money to build tech is a major plot point.

Apparently there is a black version of Superman in some comics and they were making a movie of him. Sadly, the movie has been cancelled.

If they’re okay with immigrants who didn’t come by choice, then all the children who were brought to America illegally by their parents should be allowed to stay and everyone born in America should be allowed to stay citizens.
As for Suoerman not looking like an immigrant, it is actually a big coincidence in-universe that he happens to look like a white human. There’s no Europe on Krypton.

People on Facebook are telling me he isn’t an immigrant, he’s from outer space. I’m so confused as to what they think an immigrant is
- Comment on People angry that Superman represents kindness are outright admitting that they don't want to be good people 1 week ago:
I’m seeing comments on Facebook telling me “he’s not an immigrant, he’s an alien from space”. I’m so confused as to how they don’t consider someone from a different planet to be an immigrant

Which is admitting they side with the kkk, isn’t it
- Comment on People angry that Superman represents kindness are outright admitting that they don't want to be good people 2 weeks ago:
Yes, people are angry that the director talked about Superman being an immigrant (even though he has been from another planet since the character was concieved) and they are also angry about the director saying Superman represents kindness, because apparently just being nice to people is woke now
- Comment on People angry that Superman represents kindness are outright admitting that they don't want to be good people 2 weeks ago:
I kind of agree. I enjoy Superman but also prefer heroes who are more morally grey. But my post isn’t about people who dislike Superman because he’s a Mary Sue, it’s about people who are angry that Superman values kindness

I’ve been wondering if there are Trump supporters watching The Handmaid’s Tale and siding with Gilead

I honestly fear the US will be a fascist dictatorship for the rest of my life and beyond. North Korea has been a fascist dictatorship as long as I can remember
