How’d they do that?

The thing about Batman that you need to remember is that he’s been around since the 1930s. Many facets of the character have been explored, including this one. Bruce Wayne has, on multiple occasions, argued for and created social programs for the poor. That is something he has done in many comics.

That said, he hasn’t argued for higher taxation on the rich. There’s a few reasons for this, the chief among them being the unquestioned omnipresent capitalist dogma that informs a lot of media. Though I’d add that the idea of wealth redistribution is kind of incompatible with the idea of Batman. He’s a deeply psychologically motivated character. His war on crime is largely personal. As his vigilantism is enabled by his wealth, it makes sense that he would favour philanthropy. He wants to be the agent of change in ‘his’ city. Broadly speaking, that might make him ineffective but I don’t think it makes him bad. I think it’s part of what makes him an interesting character.

His name is John P. Carr and this is the image of him at the Cowboys Bar in Great Falls:

I’m convinced Tim Pool’s entire career has been propelled off making garbage takes that get recirculated through public outrage. Never has such a worm tricked so many people into considering his utterly intellectually vacant perspective.

(Apologies to all the worm lovers out there. Worms are pretty cool.)

Yeah, I toss it at him every time.

Absolutely. So much of the libertarian argument for capitalist competition fall apart when faced with the reality of monopolies and oligopolies that control the markets. It’s honestly such a farcical ideology.

I think Blood Money was the peak of that era. Though I’d argue the post-Absolution series is even better. It has the same core mechanics of the earlier games with everything scaled up.

There was a 19th century political party that rose in opposition to the arrival of Irish Catholic immigrants. They had the audacity to call themselves the Native American Party. Also, known as the Know Nothings. They’re the gang that Bill the Butcher (Daniel Day Lewis) leads in Gangs of New York.

I honestly never knew this. Thanks for sharing!

Who is Tamriel Rebuilt Community Watchdog?

Has anyone here ever come across a low res tutorial video with microsmic font that is impossible to read? I appreciate their desire to help others but why do people do that?

From my understanding, dental records are not actually as full-proof as they come of as in the media and there was a great deal of pseudoscience in their popularisation as a tool for identifying people. So perhaps, if the fingerprints are still identifiable, forensics went with them since they are more reliable.

Is there any reason to use tealdeer over just tldr aside from speed?

I also think that people involved in projects for 3 letter agencies will say anything to justify their funding.

Agree about the cultural revolution aspect. I think another aspect of it is the widespread emigration of people under the age of 40. Many of the people who would engage in political change have been forced to leave by the greedy landlords that run the country. I think we should have a Land League 2.0.

Yeah I caught that one too. South Ireland / Southern Ireland gets put alongside The British Isles as a term that is likely to spike the ire of many Irish people.

This helped me have a better understanding of what seizures must feel like. Sorry you had to experience that. Thank you for sharing.

The Saudis are relentless in their tackiness.

Why does Trump dislike Pompeo again? It’s hard to keep track of all the people who have worked with Trump and subsequently publicly bashed him for bein a terrible human being.
