Yeah, Bruce Wayne is an eccentric rich guy in a city full of eccentric rich people up to their own shenanigans. And depending on the timeline or continuity, he doesn’t even run his own company most of the time, so wouldn’t necessarily be in the public eye all the time.

For Clark Kent, I’ve always loved the idea of certain key figures in the Daily Planet figuring it out themselves but keeping it to themselves. In the new movie, I very much got the impression that Perry White and Jimmy Olsen know. And IMO, ever since Lois figured it out herself in My Adventures with Superman, that’s the way it always should be from now and the versions where Superman keeps the secret for years and years aren’t the same now.

For me, the ones where it gets difficult to justify their secret identities remaining intact for long are characters like Static or Spider-Man that still go to school and live with their parents / guardians, and regularly slip away during trouble to regularly rescue their friends and family as their superhero selves.

Depends on a few things, including the viewpoint in question.

And my patience at a particular time because I’m not 18 and just discovering the world anymore and a lot of shit is the same old shit, even if it’s had a ribbon tied around it.

Some things that I’m more or less out of patience with are bigotry, right wing conservative conformists and supremacists, and monotheism. But I’m open to discussing most other things.

I’d be more inclined to ‘meet in the middle’ politically if ‘politics’ were about say how taxes should be spent, and not about who should have more or less human rights than who.

The future is annoying. Here is a reverse image search result from 8 years ago.

I think that not necessarily everything in life is a big buddhist style learning moment and sometimes we really do just dig our own holes. And I mean, there’s nothing to say that the person in this simplistic cartoon strip didn’t learn anything here. Maybe sometimes the lesson is just that if you touch the hot plate on a stove, you’ll get burnt.

Other bigger lessons in life probably look a bit different to this.

Just so you know, I had to look that up to make sure it wasn’t some medical condition or something wrong with it that I was unaware of. But you’re correct, it does indeed have a stoma lol.

In dog society, they don’t just say “cheese” when posing for photos. Any food will do.

The person is your ‘self’ or your mind, the ground is your life, or experience thereof. The thing sticking out of the ground that needs investigating is the start of an addiction, or a negative life path, or a spiral of harmful thoughts and depression, or anything that stops your progress on the path of life and makes you start digging holes for yourself to get stuck in.

Finally one (hopefully) realises that their dug their own hole and sees the solution to get out.

Or something like that. I think that’s the gist of what I felt about this meme or cartoon strip or whatever. Thanks for the creative writing exercise lol.

abusive men tend to be very high users of pornography, and strangulation is a known red flag for how dangerous a perp is

This alone I think makes this an important issue to address. Clearly the porn isn’t satisfying their dark urges but instead making it worse and encouraging them to act it out.

I think this is more important to address than representation for a kink. It states “non-consensual strangulation” anyway and if that’s your kink, then uh, you’re probably in the wrong community for one thing. Also it’s practically a stereotype and joke now that whenever the dark side of porn is brought up, people rush in defend “kinks”.

It’s pretty fucking weird that we go after cigarettes and gambling and loot boxes in video games, but easy access to porn doom scrolling for all ages on the devices in our pockets is the last thing that anyone wants to address. I’m sure that consenting, knowledgeable and safe adults with this kink weren’t suffering before pornhub was a thing.

I think that it can help you find your people. If it’s something really mainstream like Breaking Bad or whatever, you might as say “I like icecream”. But when it gets to slightly more niche stuff that isn’t hogging 90% of the online conversation or airtime on the radio, I think you’re more likely to find people with similar interests or views or personalities to you.

Wealth vs wages? Cars require a substantial amount to buy, and then a decent liveable paycheck that leaves you something to play with for fuel and upkeep. Public transport is something more affordable for wage slaves.

💜 I thought of that when I saw this too!

You stole my answer. Save us Superman!

Punk’s been dead for a long time. The only two bands that you ever hear about these days making a socio-political splash of any note are Rage Against the Machine and Green Day, who had their peaks in the '90s and gatekeepers didn’t even consider Green Day to be punk. Millennials completely failed to take that baton from Gen X and instead gave the world podcasts and Pop Idols. Chappell Roan is more punk than anything that’s come out of the alternative scene in the last 20 years.

I 100% agree with what you saying but also I appreciate attempts to revive the punk spirit because society needs it more than ever. And at least it’s coming from DC Comics and not Apple or Amazon or some shit.

Waiting for someone to tell me it’s an AI picture or the cat is sick or something.

Not sure if that’s any better. I think I’m actually just gonna delete this post because I thought it was cute but this is just sad either way.

Oof I really hope not. These hairless type cats often have curly tails, I just thought this was extra curly. Now I’m thinking I should just delete the post…
