Therein lies the problem. When I was a kid all I wanted to be was spider-man so I could help people.

Notice the difference?

Batman/Iron Man/ et. al are ok as heroes but really their super power realistically should be the number of people they could lift out of poverty with that money. The fact that they haven’t speaks volumes.

I don’t blame the writers per se. They exist in a world same as ours so God forbid a billionaire give away all their money because no one needs all that money.

It’s absolutely baffling how the gig-economy had been normalized.

I am a news junkie. Just this week they were talking to a business expert about youth unemployment (note it’s bad everywhere but it’s starting to get bad in 1st world now so we are caring finally) and his response was yeah it’s bad but basically we have to get used to a future of hustling doing multiple gigs with no health benefits because that’s where things are going.

Fucking government is bent over the barrel letting industry define the workers terms of engagement it’s disgusting.

You’re 100% correct. My youngest son is autism and will 100% be with me perpetually. I’m open to the other two staying longer too, but not for a free ride and not forever. I received no handouts in life and it made me who I am. Life is not easy.

I’m sorry you feel that way. Life sucks and doesn’t care about you. I’d rather my kids learn this from someone who loves them conditionally than from some random asshat that doesn’t give a shit.

If you’re looking for a participation medal for existing don’t expect one from me.

Child here that moved out at 18 and now a parent to 3.

I hear you, and I know the status quo is changing but fuck me I want my kids out at 18. I lived in shitty roach infested places in horrible neighbourhoods. I’ve wondered how I would have money for food let alone rent. That’s life. That’s growing. I want them to experience that because without the bad times you don’t learn to appreciate the good ones.

I know I’m alone in this sentiment I don’t care. I will always be there for my kids in true times of need and I know the world now isn’t the world of 30 years ago but fuck it. Survive or Thrive.

To me they’re not sequels maybe that’s the difference. Raimi has been open about handing young directors the keys to see what their vision is. If anything I view ED as more of an anthology at this point all the same and yet all different

2013 slaps you shut your whore mouth! /s

Also Evil Dead is something that has never had a bad iteration. Fight me.

Compulsory “If you’ve been paying attention we have known about this and every other catastrophic event since at least the 1970’s. We aren’t listening to the right people.”

Millions if not billions of people are going to be severely at risk and even die. The vast majority of these people will be brown or black. The majority of these people will be children.

We as a species should be ashamed putting the well being of a small few over the majority.

The optimism is we will science our way out of this. Humanity is like a monkeys paw.

So I guess what I’m saying is on the individual level everyone open their eyes don’t be a dick and leave the world better than you came into it. Beyond that, sit back and enjoy the show no one really knows what they’re doing but the majority of us are doing our best.

This is a fun one. I’m with you but I was friends with a recovering addict once and his exception was they should stay illegal what we should focus on is de-criminalization.

Yup this is not the path forward. Education is. Assistance is. Bans are stupid.

I hear you and I want to acknowledge that people are complex and many otherwise good people are caught in these echo chambers doing or supporting bad things.

That said, it’s no fucking excuse to not educate yourself and stay up on the news.

Stop waiting for perfect. Good change happens over time it’s rarely immediate. If you wait for perfect you’re liable to miss people doing enough good to allow perfect to happen later.

People are nuanced and we don’t live in a black and white world. Hillary. Kamala. Gavin. Obama. None of them are perfect but they’re on the path there.

People need to stop being so pious around their politics.

The counter point is don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Ugandas finest! /s

As do many who come from nothing or have nothing.

I’m thankful as a Canadian I came from meagre beginnings and my dad was a post-war baby in bombed our London. I have first hand experience in knowing what nothing is.

Let it burn.

But will it make things better? Worse?

“the commons” has largely been privatized online. That is the result of what you have stated.

We should all be ashamed, and afraid.

It really frustrates me as a non-American that they don’t get it. As a general human being he is disgusting. This is who, on a world stage, they feel represents them.

Are they so dumb that they don’t realize, or so self-indulgent they don’t care? Either is scary.

I want to highlight again (I have numerous times in the past) as a human being this is who Americans said they were ok with. Forget policy. Forget politics. Americans twice have elected a man who openly thinks women are less than men.

I’ve seen enough rumours I am genuinely curious if they were eating kids. Reading between the lines they were doing something extremely fucky.
