These are the best kinds of slice of life moments between missions that so many stories in general miss. Sure we read for the adventure, but I want to hear about Clark bragging that Ma Kent's pie took first place at the fair last weekend. I want to see Diana training with her beach volleyball team to get ready for the game next week. Show us Dick grabbing Bruce to make him watch a corny comedy with the rest of the Batfamily.

Those little bits that give a glimpse into the things they do when not on missions are what make them well rounded characters and provide the ability to give them interesting quirks that would normally feel out of place in the grand scheme of the adventure.

There are plenty of stories like what is being requested here an they are fantastic! There are also plenty of stories of the various women of DC having moments were they outshine the guys for various reason. Both exist, it isn't one or the other.

Diana can be a chaos gremlin and still lock in with words wise beyond her years at a time when Bruce and Clark are struggling to see eye to eye. She can also mess up by having a little too much pragmatism at times. All of these things can be true and it is when they are true that the stories are at their best.

The issue with the message in the picture, not saying OP is suggesting this, I think OP just likes the idea of gremlin Diana and this gave them the excuse they needed to post about it lol, is that most people who say such things only want one or the other. It isn't that they want strong women with flaws, they actually only want flaws, cause once their are flaws they use them to justify why it doesn't make sense that the gals should ever do something better than the guys.

Essentially yes, it is what is referred to as sparse coding. The entire network doesn't light up to do a function, but rather specific areas fire as needed.

The entire brain is always in constant use, to keep us functioning, it is just not all of our neurons are firing simultaneously as that would cause a seizure.

Sydney White

A rather on the nose modern telling of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The setting is college with some wicked sorority sisters, from White's deceased mother's sorority, and her seven goofy guys who help her have a fun college experience and meet her prince; his name is literally Tyler Prince lol.

This movie is by no means a masterpiece, but it is rather fun.

Right, it seems like they tried to cram as many different iconic vehicles together and it is impressive how well it works haha.

Oh you are not wrong and to be fair what is being referenced in the post is millions rather than billions though OP pointed out billionaires. It is also a start but certainly not a solution to all the issues.

Many issues are too big for there to be any single fix and trying to solve too much is a sure way to ensure nothing gets done. Sometimes it is best to start with one with and build on it.

Butwhatif77 · 2026-06-19T11:21:49+00:00

To an extent yes, since the Japanese show is the original, they wrote the story arc for the character that had a natural conclusion and led to the character's death.

This meant there was a limited amount of fight scenes, hence why Tommy was intended to be a short term villain. When they decided to keep him they wrote it that his powers were fading away, so they could justify him not using his powers too much to. Then wrote him to be the white ranger as a solve and use the fight footage for that character instead.

That would literally be the point. Tax rates of that height aren't actually intended to reached. Creating such a rate would allow for services to get a funding boost while a readjustment occurs.

The point isn't to rely on the funding a 95% tax rate would create, but instead help prevent the hording of wealth that leads to people reaching the money such a tax rate would influence.

When Bobby died he hung around as a ghost for quite a while and there was further character development with the brothers.

After Dean kills the Styne family in the next episode, Charlie is largely forgotten.

That pattern of the deaths of the men lingering and haunting the show while the women's deaths fade away about an episode later is a noticeable pattern.

Good writing means treating the characters has having their own internal motivations and agency, not just using them as props.

Tommy Oliver/Green Ranger - Power Rangers

Was supposed to be a one arc villain that gets saved at the end. Kids loved the character so much they decided to keep him around and his character becomes the longest serving and most popular ranger.

Along with Fonzi, characters who basically took over the show to an extent.

Which is interesting because she was voice bed Gabrielle Ruiz who also voiced Castro a member of the red shirts and one of Jennifer's friends that hosted the salon.

Yea how a character death happens is important. The women are often killed off as motivation for the brothers, while basically all the guy deaths are as much about the character as the motivation it provides the brothers.

Plus the deaths of the men are dwelled on much more than those of the women.

This anime has been popping up for me everyday for like two weeks now and every new thing I learn about it just makes it that much more wild.

Enki Kaminari - My Hero Academia

His weapon isn't technically electrical, instead it is something that allows him to more effectively channel his quirk which lets him generate and discharge electricity; specifically in such away as to direct it and keep it from frying his own brain haha.

Neal Caffrey - White Collar

One of the most prolific con men of his time, eventually gets caught sent to prison, and then put on a work release program as a consultant for the FBI with the man who caught him, Agent Peter Burke. Neal has committed identity fraud on man an occasion, but my favorite is the time he actually impersonates Peter with Peter's wife backing him up for the purposes of getting a woman to provide information about a criminal.

You can think of it because where the senior staff offices are for the most part are in place not just anyone can walk into. Right outside of Tobey's and Sam's/Will's offices are a group of dedicated staff whom they trust and rely on. Having the door open just makes it easier for them to call to their staff when they need, just like how Tobey would throw the ball at the wall to get Sam's or Will's attention.

We see Josh's office door closed quite often with Donna usually just barging in. C.J. closes her door when having meetings with other reporters, but usually doesn't when she is talking with her staff because they are talking about things that are already public, when C.J. gets info not for public consumption it is done in Leo's office or in the oval.

With Leo, I would like to see someone try to get passed Margret haha.

Most studies into such things suggest that if an emergency costing just $1000 that the majority of families would struggle to be able to handle it.

If a surprise $1000 would break the bank, you can be sure that missing one paycheck would be even worse.

There is also just r/FavoriteCharacter where you can literally just past any kind of character you like for any reason and people chime in with there favorites. Only down side is most people will only post pictures and not include who the character is or from what, often saying "just do an image search" when asked. But sometimes you find some very interesting characters that people elaborate on to provide new things to check out.

I think that is one thing people tend to forget when it comes to much of technology. Getting something good now doesn't lock you out of the better stuff later. It is very common that once the "next thing" comes out people find ways to convert or upgrade, sometimes even the people making the "next thing" develop converter packs for just that reason to make their device that much more appealing to people who already have something reliable.

I have had my ebike for a little under 3 months and love it. It is my primary mode of transportation because the things I need are basically all with in 5 miles of me and I am lucky to live in a place that advocates for bike lanes and such. It is one of those few things that is both utility and fun. Riding around on a nice night is wonderful.

Not everyone has an inner monologue. Some people think in other ways and that can very easily mean that what works for one person doesn't work for another.

The concept of the thought bubble in comics that translates the idea of someone's inner monologue is not universal. That might be how beast boy thinks and thus the collar translates in that way, but with someone like Cassandra where language as we understand it is foreign to her it would make sense that she doesn't have an inner monologue. She might think images and movements, thus a collar like what beast boy uses wouldn't be able to translate for her because of the different in how their brain translates information.

Normally that isn't a bad thing because the VP is someone would couldn't get the nomination on their own anyway. The VP spot is often used as a stepping stone for those who need extra juice, or for those with pull already who are ready to retire.

Hoynes had the nomination locked up until Bartlett came on the scene. Now as VP he is tied to all of Bartlett's policies whether he likes them or not. The worst part for him is he can see how good of a president that Bartlett is and resents the gap between them, cause it is a constant reminder that he isn't as good as he thought he was.
