The spread of american idiocy to a global scale isn’t a coincidence. It’s a combination of homegrown grifters who see the grift over there working, and a concerted effort by the Epstein Class to spread their influence abroad.

Aye

If Hollywood ever made an Epstein film, I wouldn’t put it past them to portray him the exact same way that The Greatest Showman portrayed PT Barnum.

Or something like this.

To these people, there’s no such thing as “enough”. Contentment is not a concept that exists within their minds, only a sociopathic urge to acquire more.

We live in a society, where the bottom is kept in line, but the top is allowed to disregard the rules. Typographers rise up.

IIRC, the film didn’t try to show that to be everyone’s reaction, just the mainstream reaction. In controversies like that, the current media landscape would push that disgust narrative, and it would largely be accepted by audiences. There would undoubtedly be individuals and online communities who disagree with that narrative, but they would largely be ignored or misconstrued by mainstream forces.

And that makes sense with the film’s main themes too. One of Superman’s greatest traits is his ability to inspire other people, even when there are forces pushing other narratives against him.

They’ll probably say he faked his death as part of an overcomplicated heist that was hidden from even the audience, until it’s eventually revealed at the end in a flashy montage where we find out that all of the characters mistakes and setbacks were part of a bigger plan all along.

Or it’s because they walk single-file to hide their numbers.

In my eyes, the healthiest way to look at it is to view the full court as a team that pushes in different directions, in a combined effort to create the fairest outcome. Although there are many situations where believing that becomes much harder, especially when wealthy or influential clients are involved.

Edit: Grammar

“My sleep is dear to me, and more dear this being of stone, as long as the agony and shame last. Not to see, not to hear [or feel] is for me the best fortune; So do not wake me! Speak softly.

Anything but the metric system.

In the first few Assassin’s Creed games, they did use the idea of a Puppeteer system for the control scheme, although it wasn’t physics-based or anywhere near as hard as QWOP. Each of the controllers face buttons performed actions associated with each limb, and the right trigger would swap between low profile actions and high profile actions.

In the top right of the screen, there was always a UI element showing what the buttons did at that moment in that context, which might’ve been why you thought it was a QWOP style system. It’s not exactly what you were thinking of at the time, but you were closer than you realise.

Why is daydream Homer closer to the modern colours than real Homer? Maybe we’re seeing modern Simpsons through Homer’s daydreams.

My hypothesis is that they’re like The Suit by Scott Base.

Quaso

The enemy of my enemy has his uses, but that absolutely does not make him my friend.

Yeah, obscure interests are hardly a thing of the past. If anything it’s only gotten stronger, people of all ages can now be sucked so far down the fandom rabbithole that they lose sight of it being their obscure interest.

Although the way it used to be, kids would have access to one obscure thing, and so that’s their one chance at having an obscure interest. That’s changed, kids now get much wider choice.
