Republicans are also always on about how the government is bad (even when they’re the incumbents) and how deregulating things make everything better. Libertarians are people who drank a full jug of that particular kool-aid. Also like republicans, they tend to only care about gun rights, though they will sometimes pretend to care about other rights to make it feel like an ideological thing.

Yeah I just hold shift and ctrl and start mashing function keys until I figure it out LOL.

We now need a “verify you are a captcha” mechanism to counter this.

Yeah, right? Captchas have trained users to do whatever weird thing a webpage tells them to do, so now people will do this without thinking about it.

Yeah it is. Most computers come with windows pre-installed so most people never do this kind of thing.

And there’s also things people need to be careful of. Like wiping all out all of their cherished photos by formatting the entire drive. Considering that casual users probably shouldn’t attempt to do this. Not trying to gatekeep or anything, but there is potential for data loss for a user that doesn’t back up their data properly, which is common for casual users.

Apparently it nags you if you don’t have a 365 account. So it’s just more enshittification.

Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s the same bridge. It’s kinda internet famous. They raised the bridge a little since that video, but it still peels the tops off of trucks.

Ya should’ve just binged “google” first.

Are you sure you’re not being reactionary? The target of the comic isn’t the corporation making the movies. It’s attacking the people that watch these movies… people who are largely working class. Seems like an elitist anti working class kind of comic to me.

It’s possible that well intentioned extremists really are more likely to have a negative impact and not cause any positive change.

How many mass shooters have a manifesto? Often they’re upset about how things are and feel like killing a bunch of people will change things. But they just wind up killing a bunch of people and don’t influence anyone to do anything. Well other than copy cats who also just kill people.

In real life wanting change isn’t bad. But using violence is bad and doesn’t result in any positive change. The use of violence makes people feel helpless and so they want to see movies about heroes with superpowers that can take on violent extremists.

Hey don’t talk shit about Xavier or he’ll kill you with his mind powers.

Therefore training children to be in his own personal army is cool and awesome!

Sure but they instantly lost the thread by going after superheroes that didn’t sign on before going after Nitro. Dude’s still out there and could still blow up more schools, but let’s instead duke it out with Captain America because that’s more important right now. WTF?

Tony Stark is behaving way more irresponsibly than those teenagers were. But he’s heading up an initiative to train teenagers with super powers to be more responsible?

The movie did it better. They weren’t debating a law while Ultron was still out there doing his thing. The debate came after Ultron was taken care of. Immediate danger is taken care of, so now we can think about how we can do things better. Comic book version was just Tony Stark and Reed Richards become super villains for a while. Their actions don’t really make any sense.

It’s cool, because I’ve begun to judge people that judge people base on entertainment choices.

Yeah this is my take too. Comic book writers aren’t very good at being subtle, so it ended up being Reed Richards and Tony Stark become supervillains for a while. The whole debate about the laws were rendered moot when they made a Thor clone and a negative zone gitmo.

The movie had put the debate over the laws a little more prominently, and it was more about the character’s differences in how they saw things. Cap favouring individual responsibility over instituitions made sense given the whole hydra infiltration. Stark not trusting his own judgment makes sense because his story started with almost being killed by a weapon he invented. Different experiences led to different conclusions and neither of these guys turned into super villains.

Nice little touch to have an actual villain manipulating things in the background and almost getting away with it because the heroes were too busy fighting each other to even notice him.

To be even more fair it was Nitro (a villain) that blew up the school, not the teenagers.

Only character I liked in that plotline was Wolverine because he didn’t bother with any of the bullshit and was just trying to track down Nitro and kill him.

Yeah I don’t know much about it myself, but I know enough to not do this kind of thing. Just going by what I’ve heard about it.

Someone who’s not competent enough to install a proper transfer switch (or at least hire a professional to do it) shouldn’t be operating a generator.

But doesn’t the transformer convert the current back up? So it could be way more than 120v on a line that they’re expecting to be shut down. At least that’s my understanding of it.

But either way yeah, they probably check for it, but no you shouldn’t do it because you there’s a possibility that you could kill someone.

Kinda awkward too. Seth Meyers did a bit where he went with Joe Biden to get ice cream. He asked the employees if they liked ice cream. It’s kinda a silly question because they just work there.

It’s just a really bad idea to go into a place with no advance notice with a bunch of cameras. These aren’t actors, they just work at a donut shop, what do you expect to happen? The woman immediately saying “I don’t want to be on TV” makes a lot of sense. She’s just working a shift, hasn’t had a chance to put on some makeup and make herself look nice for the cameras. It’s just ambushing regular people and expecting it to come out good. Dumb move all around.
