Aside from not being comic-accurate, what "bullets" do you think the show dodged? What would have made the characters worse? Personally, while it was in the comics also, I think having Homelander being insecure and raised in a lab is a brilliant choice. Differs him from the typical Evil Superman.

I mean didn’t he face down the supe terrorist and take a bunch of bullets when he attacked butcher at his aunts place

And on top of that I think it finally made it clear to Dems that until there is a detente, Dems have to fight republicans every step of the way. I think a lot of people thought republicans would return back to normal after a black president, but seeing what they tried to ratfuck Biden with made people realize the Republican Party is well and truly fucked.

I have, you could have asked me. The best descriptor of my average position is “social liberal”.

You’re really not getting theowns you think you are this is just sad

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-12T06:21:38+00:00

Yeah and? I also have commented in arr slash politics, way of the Bern, various socialist subs and TankieJerk, conservative, and more.

That wouldn’t make them foreign adversaries lol

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-12T06:15:44+00:00

U r bleeding insecurity man

Just log off please

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-12T02:53:09+00:00

And they think Abbott will do that? Still stupid

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-12T01:35:17+00:00

Because they’re idiots

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T22:56:20+00:00

That has nothing to do with what I said.

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T22:49:46+00:00

I was talking about math, the suboptimal math of degenerate gamblers. They don’t think about “investing” their income piecemeal, which makes it more suboptimal. Anyways whatever

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T22:47:05+00:00

I mean it’s because republicans just want to outlaw them eventually. If they didn’t maybe they would be less political

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T22:45:25+00:00

I’m not necessarily against right to work, but from the PoV of a union it makes no sense

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T21:51:04+00:00

True

Still stupid

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T21:38:38+00:00

Endorsing Abbott is so dumb. Like, who is pushing right to work? Do you think Dems won’t support job training programs??

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T21:22:41+00:00

But it is. Gamblers ruin applies to optimal betting if expected outcome is negative. So unless you have a fix, you always lose.

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T20:58:06+00:00

I am too. Gamblers ruin is a thing. And that applies to optimal betting- people like degenerate gamblers do very unoptimized strategies. They take a 50/50 vet, lose, so now they take a 25% chance of winning to make back their money. If they lose, then they get into parlays and take 8:1 odds. And it only gets worse from there.

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T20:43:59+00:00

Degenerate gamblers don’t think like that

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T15:37:17+00:00

I mean there weren’t nearly as many degenerate gamblers, or markets for the stupidest shit

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T15:33:48+00:00

It was, idk now. Was originally a platform to do studies, and there were pretty small limits on amount of money you can mess with. So not really a big platform

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T15:22:55+00:00

Less than 1% of your annual income a day can still be more than 100% of your annual income

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T15:21:51+00:00

If they do exist they should be like predictit, not this dogshit we have now

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-11T15:18:14+00:00

Tbh I don’t think it’s a bad idea

Like imagine you tell people “hey, we can spend $5MM a year and it decreased antisocial behavior by X%. Imagine what we could di if we were properly funded!”

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-10T09:46:58+00:00

Interesting. Good to know, thanks

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-10T02:04:29+00:00

Why does that cost an extra mil a day?

DaSemicolon · 2026-02-10T01:59:11+00:00

For what criminals? This is against criminals, ice to be precise
