My red-white-and-blue women's one-piece has nothing to do with justice, after all.

Also, Wonder Woman is not American, and is less concerned with the 5th amendment and more 100% kicking the shit out of evil. Wonder Woman, for instance, does not have a no kill rule.

Spoiler: Behold, the expression of someone who cares deeply what the constitution has to say. (click to show/hide)

[Rowanas]

I didn't really care for Wonder Woman. I think my main problem with it was just how much it got praised by others, particularly for the strength of Wonder Woman as a female lead and role model.

My problem with Wonder Woman (I never watched the movie I'm just talking in general) is that her super power is being able to break the 5th Amendment at will. That is, she can force people to testify against themselves. You'd think a hero wearing a red/white/blue American flag one-piece wouldn't be a living corruption of the spirit of justice.

What the actual living fuck?  You think your national colours (also the national colours of a tonne of other places) represent justice and liberty?  I generally have a modest-to-reasonable opinion of you, but you have shown yourself to be the most foolish of posters (excepting GoblinCookie, of course).

Wow, so woke, much edge.

Pretending you don't understand context makes you obtuse, not clever.

Superheroes are just the bogeymen we've convinced ourselves are on our side.



My mild sad: the kinda logic my subconscious seems to perpetuate... "oh, you only have a couple more days off and your housemates away, better stay up all night to make the most of it". Ugh. I can't really do words good right now but I'm sure you get the idea. I just procrastinate harder than ever right when I have the best chance to get things done.

Who watches the watchmen?

Who gives soup to superman?

Who thingies the Thing?   
Who flashes the Flash?

First off all, that's pretty great.

Second of all, costumes don't make vigilantes into heroes in real life, this is true. I think my favorite piece on the concept of superheroes is that all of them have the same, and most powerful ability: certainty. Batman never jumps a suspicious guy in an alley and it turns out they had paintball guns and didn't deserve to be beaten into crippling injury. Superman never accidentally punches Lex Luthor's killer robot through a daycare. Etc.

But that clear dichotomy is also, of course, part of the fantasy.

I realized I exhibit hypervigilance.

You know those times when it'd be really nice to have a bucket, but you don't have a bucket?

This is one of those times.

So, why are you vomiting today?

This is one of those times.

I have eight buckets with lids.

5 or 10 gallon?

[Hanslanda]

Ten gallon. They were free. I have no use for them. I gave away 11 last week cuz seriously how many fucking buckets do I need.

[Dunamisdeos]

About 1 for every 10 dwarves, give or take.

Realizing im turning 26 next week and suddenly i remember two things; one, Ive been single for yet another damn year, and two, this year i have to pay for my own damn insurance, and my boss never got back to me about getting on the company health insurance plan.

And car insurance. I count as a young adult, so im "risky" right? Im gonna have to pay a fuckton.
But i dont get a raise, and im already broke at the end of each month. Which means i will have to drive without insurance. So if i get pulled over, im fucked.
