[AfterDeathComics] Batbills
  • 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.

  • Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to meet with Trump at White House
  • 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.

  • How to Bypass Reddit's VPN Blocking

    I don't like using reddit. But sometimes I have to while looking something up. However, I get this message when I have Mullvad turned on that reads You've been blocked by network security.

    How do I bypass this? Changing VPN locations doesn't seem to affect it. I don't want to turn my VPN off for reddit.

    Anything that doesn’t demonize Israel gets banned
  • Its not technically against most instances' rules. If it was against most instances' rules then why havent the mods removed _cryptagion's commen. Surely, if it was against the instances' rules, then other people would downvote _cryptagion.

    This is what you sound like.

  • What do you think life will be like in the year 2100?
  • The woke kabal of global elites will abolish traditional biological gender norms. Every character in every piece of media will rewritten be trans. Hamlet? Trans. Jesus Christ? Trans. John McClain? Trans. The global government will keep the population meek with estrogen-laced tofu and anti-gun legislation. Nobody will read Plato; the only philosphers will be Judith Butler and Jaque Derrida. White people and white culture will have ceased to exist. America will be a Communist Islamic Transocracy where conservatives are hunted down by drones that capture them and force them to read Critical Race Theory.

    thehackernews.com Why Pay A Pentester?

    Automated penetration testing disrupts cybersecurity by offering faster, cheaper, and broader testing coverage.

    What do you guys think? I don't think there's a lot of depth to the arguments, myself. It reads more like an threadbare op-ed with a provocative title. But I'd like to hear you opinions on the impact of automated testing solutions on the role of pen-testers in the industry.

    Introduction to List Comprehensions

    Brendan Metcalfe's intro series to list comprehensions is one of the best I've come across. In addition to showing how to use them, he compares it to other similar methods and shows why LCs can be more effective. Wanted to share his stuff here.
