It can depend on the hour, sometimes.

But that's honestly anywhere online. There's a fight to be had damn near anywhere

Actually, he does, and you look really stupid right now for thinking otherwise.

Here's a link I haven't researched to prove it.

I mostly lurk, too, but enjoy being around my fellow Lemmings.

The only decline I have seen as someone who mostly lurks is in conservatives who thought this was the next Voat. After the surge I saw an uptick in all kinds of people, and a lot of them I don't mind seeing leave.

You don't need this lil slice of the internet to be the "next big thing", you just need a place to go to see the stuff you like.

Reading comprehension is awesome.

I was alive before credit scores were a thing.

It's a thing.

There are PLENTY of dumb Muricans who make less than 30k a year who think their big break is coming.

Television and radio have been fueling American "exceptionalism" for so many decades that many DO believe that they will join the ranks of the billionaire class.

Actually it's quite nice. My wife and I vacation there in the spring.

It's also a nod to sooooo many married couples who got together for all the wrong reasons

Al nailed Peg because she was hot, not because he actually liked her. Peg got knocked up

Suddenly, Al, who was a star at the time and had many gals, is stuck with one annoying chick he only liked when he was drunk at a party.

Yep! I'm not a big fan of any of the modern Superman films, I think there's way too much punching and not enough super-human feats. And by that I mean rescuing people, or performing "miracles" that only he can in order to help the greater good.

Clark will let a monster punch him in the face dozens of times if he thinks he can save both the people and the creature's life. That's what creates dilemmas for me when I enjoy a decent Superman story, an ethical dilemma that can't be solved by hitting something as hard as possible.

The cool thing about Superman isn't that he has these fantastic powers, but that the person who wields them will always try to do the right thing, because they know nobody else can.

The original Superman movie nailed that aspect. Clark was confident and maybe even a little cocky because of his abilities... but when his father suffered a heart attack, all the super strength in the universe couldn't save him.

You are 100% correct in that a lot of superhero discourse online seems to aaaaaaaalways come down to "who would win in a fight", which has always baffled me, because comic books are LOADED with ethical and moral plays which are suppose to make us question whether violence is even a good answer for anything in the first place.

It's about using your own strengths to help facilitate the weakness of those who can't help themselves.

At least to me.

Superman is a morality play. His powers have been secondary since the 80s.

He's Clark before he's Superman. And Clark is one hell of a good dude who's been fleshed out incredibly well.

Most people who don't like Superman don't know who Clark Kent is, and by that I mean they don't really read much Superman comics.

Not saying this is you, just commenting on the general stigma Clark seems to catch. Dude isn't even the most powerful being on Earth by a long shot.

True, but to pretend the Democrats didn't actively sabotage their most popular candidate in favor of the "safe" choice.... twice... is a stretch.

I voted for Biden. Will vote again.

Voted for Hilary, too.

Not because I wanted to. Democrats don't seem to want to do much beyond maintain the status quo, at least at the presidential level.

Maybe not voting for Trump, but there are plenty who aren't going to vote for Biden due to him gargling the balls of Israel.

Karma never had value

Yep.

We know.

Or anyone outside of Britain.

No one from Chile really cares, either.

Western, white countries are all the center of their own universes

What's funny is, if Weird Al ever lost his shit, the person in who's direction he did so probably said something like he "literally couldn't get out of bed".

Yes. You have to have a license to charge people money to play those games.

Otherwise you would have seen a ton of arcades open already

Edit: I only know this because I asked a guy who ran one. His machines were in pretty bad shape and I inquired why he didn't just do as you thought.

I've never played a Bethesda game at launch.

Or any game for that matter.

WordPad is wonderful for opening notepad documents written by modders who don't understand how to make paragraphs

Just look at Bernie.
