I LOVE it's so bad, it's good stuff but this? This is rough.

Abomination? Well, little kid me thought it was the peak of human effort.

I miss "grapples" I don't know if anyone else remembers those, but they were apples that tasted like grape soda. They came in a 4-pack and I loved them as a kid. Haven't seen them anywhere since.

I hate it here. Texas is a hellhole. There are zero redeeming qualities about living in this state. It's too hot, the environment is ugly and barren, every city is a concrete jungle, flat and full of parking lots and nothing else.

If my power goes out at the peak of the heat, I guess I'm killing an ercot exec?

I thought you could survive on Mars for a few minutes before passing out?

Sucks that those strokes didn't do more damage.

I really hated that movie. The trailers set up the riddler being this scary creepy-guy villain who spent his time on something like 4-chan. But it ended up being just lame. And every scene felt rushed and boring, the story sucked.

I have this long running joke with my gf that's kinda related. We joke about an American right wing Batman called "The White Knight". And he specifically targets those the right wing targets. He's always watching above when pride parades pass through the streets. He only looks for criminal undergrounds at gay bars. Instead of consulting Oracle for info, he consults "Q". Gordon is instead a police union boss, and the "corruption" they fight together is the state government investigating police brutality. He listens to AM radio and believes "caravans" of migrants are making their way all to way to Gotham. The Joker is just anyone with dyed hair and makeup (me). It goes on and on.

But to really answer, I think it's nuanced. It really depends on who the villains are. In Batman, the villains are not realistic. They are campy, ludicrous. But if Batman was real, and the world is the same as it was today, who would Batman go after? The closest thing we have to comic book villains are Wall Street fucks, venture capitalists, landlords. If he targeted those people, he might be cheered on by the left, and derided by the right.

Of course, he could use his Billions of dollars to help better than Batman ever could. But maybe Bruce Wayne being a rich douchebag is how he keeps his identity secret, "no way that guy could be Batman"

But if there is no Bruce, and there is just a masked figure who never reveals his identity, targets those real life villains that I mentioned above; I think he might see some support on the left.

Please post said haircut. I'm very afraid I'm rocking said haircut. (Just let me have my mullet in peace!)

Europe is effectively an American vassal.

It's ok. I used to use it a lot more. There is a hexbear aligned instance which is cool. But a lot of mastodon is very lib. In all honesty, Bluesky had replaced it for me. A lot of communists and socialists to follow. The only major downside I can think of is there is a lot of horny posting. And I'm just not interested in seeing anyone sexualized on my social media.
