No, I think that’s the fair take. But to me, it’s similar when people say “Studies may teach me a thing, but I’m glad I went there because I met all this people”… Yes, you spent X years there. You’d probably bound with someone over that time if it was a different place as well. It’s perfectly understandable to have a need for structure. I just wish that work isnt that sole source of structure in most people live.

On the other hand, when people show they who they really are… you should believe them. There are some views that are either ignorant or bad will. I think evidence of those is a reasonable deal-breaker. And it’s perfectly ok if you have your line drown somewhere else as well.

According to my kids, candies are the most logical place to get most your nutritions from. Where else could you get so many calories?

If most of your time at work is spent socializing, couldn’t you cut your work time and build your community elsewhere?

If most of your time at work you spent on honest hard-work working, how much community are you really building?

Cut you calories. Life doesn’t happen at work.

Are you asking if I insist that the minds behind my secure private chat have some moral standing and common sense? One would hope so. I wouldn’t trust encryption made by anti-vaxer more than I would trust a plane put tougher by flat-earther. I don’t want to be the hero of the next leopard eat my face song.

Come on, work being the sole source of community is the problem here. What are we even talking about?

This is the part that resonated with me the most as the casual user. The interface is, so confusing that the differences between various forms of chats seems deliberately unclear. And all that’s “useful” is opt-in. And Groups - most used in corporate or project setting, can’t be encrypted at all? That’s… peculiar.

Again, thanks for the eye-opener.

No, I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate it. What I do right now is sending this article with TLDR to all my friends and family.

Any advice for people that used it in the past? After reading the article, my understanding is that what was sent in “private chat” was in fact encrypted (for the most part) and can be considered secured (to the degree - something is off and, maybe we didn’t find out yet, how the encryption is compromised). But it would wise to treat all other conversations as something that is compromised. Is this a fair summary?

Well, it was obvious to you. I’m a casual user, who tries to “do his best” and consider himself “somewhat informed” - obviously not by your standard. It was all news to me, and I find tremendous value in this article.

That is… a very good point. Not only in the environmental niche, we desperately crave more “it may be legal, but it needs to be stopped” stories. It would actually make more sense narratively. Gave them the actual reason to vigilante.

I ment Swamp Thing! Swamp Thing!

Albo, I think Poison Ivey is anti-hero now. So… progress?

Also, Also super heros are by defintion rectionary - it’s a whole thing, there is a book about it. So you may hava a point.

What his primary characteristic in your mind?

I agree how the filed is overall. He’s a very small represnetiarion. But I stand by that he’s a valid one.

I couldn’t agree more. But I could live with the status quo of the environment, I think it could be done well… IF you are willing to let your characters change. But they insist on Batman that needs to stay broken even when he overcomes all his obstacles. He’s a fantasy of a perfect man, right? He should be self-aware and smart enough to start therapy by now. He already raised a family of heros, and which one of them surpass him in some way… the only reasonable place for him to be is retirement. But as long as batman toys and movies are selling better than Nigtwing’s no one will pull the trigger. At least not permanently.

I also moved to Superman - unfortunately I’m taking a brake on US culture until the president is in the office. But I can’t wait to pick up where I left. Superman resonates so much more with me now.

I’m in a small minority that loved Superman revealing that he’s Clark Kent to the word. It’s consistent with his “truth” value, it opens to discussions ethics of having “all hearing” reporter who reports on things he’s part of… it created fresh type of conflicts. And I loved his son, as a Superman who ask himself “should I be doing more and what more even mean”… I loved the House of El and the Superman’s legacy…

You can disagree and it’s fine. The point is, we deserve stories that are more than retelling the same one over and over again.

We could have the metropolis that is normalized with heros who address modern problems that became “norm” to readers. I want to know

But they will not play the long game, when the short term profits are on the line. Status Quo strikes again.

That’s what I heard, but, again, it’s all confusing to me as well :)

Hmm,
No idea how accurate that is - know nothing about anything, please take it into consideration - but I think this may be the case: the instance show every post from every federated instances that are subscribed by people in the instance?

If you’re on europe.pub and you subscribe to “!flippanarchy” than all people on europe.pub will gain the ability to see their post in the “all”. Until at least one person do it, it’s only “potentially” connected.

Could it be the case here?

So I’ll leave it unedited out of respect for your adoration :)

Fair. And I believe this absurd was addressed in universe multiple time. Often with him losing the money in a process. But yes, it’s one of the unfortunate consequence of our shift in how we see billionaires. Batman is the richest and smartest person in the world who care only about one city… with it’s underfunded mental asylum looking like a hose of horror.

The irony is clear. They have a better way of fixing the system than fists and arrow. They are the system.

The lean batman and lean GA are the only one that make sense. But they need to be part of the Justice League with immortal gods. So they need the 9th metal mech and killer ray space stations… which cost money.

But saying GL is not an environmentalist is like saying that Batman don’t care about Gotham. (Even if they have a stupid way of organizing their priorities.)

Come on, man. You are portraying a scenario when I opened all comics starting now and stopped when I reached a first one with environmental theme? Is this arguing in good faith? The image is old because it’s an important part of his worldview for a long time. One of his enemy from this year is named “Fresh Water Killer”.

Because of his views.

He’s consistently an “old lefty” sometimes more “sustainable-first capitalist” sometimes more “anarchist”, but his views on things like pollution are well established.

You are basically describing the arch of Superman’s son. And fans hated it.
