If Batman was real today, he'd go after the CEOs of companies, not gangsters.
  • Huh, maybe. Although my point was more batman is part of that class (albeit begrudgingly) so expecting batman in a position of great power and influence to actively take that from other people is just very hypocritical. Not that he shouldn't (or someone shouldn't). Just a very weird position.

  • CNN's debate was no fair fight
  • What the he is your point here if you think it's impossible. Both candidates suck, someone else should run, no one can be prepped to run in time, so... do nothing. That's your master plan. Responding to you is a collective waste of time for everyone myself included.

  • CNN's debate was no fair fight
  • You're talking like there's even a independent candidate that has the experience and willingness to do this. Normally it takes a life time of experience to even apply for the position. Trump being a complete nobody throwing money to get elected was a bad thing and now you expect some random guy on the Internet to find and sell an alternative to the American people 4 months before an election and beat both 2 people that've already begrudgingly won the election and can at least claim to have some experience. It isn't giving up to admit somethings impossible. I ain't giving up on becoming an astronaut if I can't do it by next week. If you'd like a 3rd party candidate feel free to find and prop someone up but best case they aren't going to be ready for a presidential run until 2028.

  • CNN's debate was no fair fight
  • These are not equivalent losses. I think that's what you're not getting. Biden wins we get a senile leader with near dementia in charge for 4 years. Trump wins we get a Russian puppet who would literally kick start an insurrection over admitting his own losses. These are not the same thing, although both objectively suck.

  • To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Board
  • Do they really. I've been lucky enough not to know or interact with anyone like this. My impression has been he's patently corrupt enough to push through things they want so they support him. Like conservative supreme court justices who abolished roe v wade. The man is a habitual adulterer and I doubt anyone thinks he hasn't had a mistress get an abortion. They don't care he doesn't represent their ideals, they just care he'll support them regardless.

  • To serve his country, Donald Trump should leave the race | Editorial Board
  • Hah, no ones deluded enough to think trump wants to serve America or even that he gives a flying f*ck about what's good for it. This man is the pure crystallisation of "I don't need to win, I just need you to lose". He'll set this country on fire before taking any kind of responsibility or agency for the position he's vying for.

  • CNN's debate was no fair fight
  • Build an alternative in... checks calendar, 4 months that can gain more votes than the active democratic nominee and beat the stir mad republican candidate whose supporters are voting for out of pure spite. This comment is either in bad faith or you literally have no idea how the election works. Best case here isn't even winning, it's taking as few votes from the sane candidates as possible because all this'll do is split the democrat voting block.

  • Shot in 1.6 seconds: Video raises questions about how trooper avoided charges in Black man's death
  • You're assuming that the cops percieve you as a threat and are guaranteed to kill you no matter what you do. I won't deny that's happened but its very far from the norm. In a lot of cases the cops are stupid, or negligent or scared and prematurely react without foresight. Add a civillian possessing a gun and and flagrantly threatening to use it and you turn a situation that could be disarmed into a inevitable violent conflict.

  • Shot in 1.6 seconds: Video raises questions about how trooper avoided charges in Black man's death
  • Most people don't wanna kill each other. And shooting back is probably going to raise the likelihood of getting murdered (i don't have any source for this). That said it is still absurd how the police flagrantly disregard peoples liberties, extra judicially execute them and get away with it with impunity. The societal contract is dead.

  • (Serious) As a crypto-skeptic who owns some Bitcoin, what should I do with it?
  • I'd say just sell it. I think the thought that you're selling means someone else is losing is the issue here, you're not convincing anyone to buy. you're not spreading"the scam". If that person wants to buy bitcoin their gonna do it with or without your selling. May as well give them what they want and benefit yourself intern. I have this same sorta gripe with epic games weekly free giveaway on Thursdays. I know it's just to harvest data, I know I'm never gonna buy anything on EGS, I know some poor schmuck is compensating for my free game by buying microtransactiojs on fortnight. But end of the day it's free games and me not buying it ain't exactly gonna stop epic doing all that other sh*t they use to make them available. Take what you can. It'll be better for your mental health to not anguish over what to do.
