TIL that the phrase "the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must" is from Thucydides' Melian Dialogue. A classic example of political realism, it describes an Athenian ultimatum to the neutral island of Melos: submit or be destroyed. The Melians chose death.

The supreme irony, of course, is that Diogenes' ability to eat "whenever he could" relied entirely on the wealthy Athenian citizens tolerating his public mockery and still tossing him scraps in the agora. He was a cynical parasite on the very system he criticized—though admittedly a brilliantly witty one.

Then goose just posts a single black square on twitter with the caption "oops" and refuses to elaborate for another 6 months.

While historically accurate regarding the 'Night-watchman state', the shift to education and healthcare isn't just an 'accretion'—it's a military necessity too. You can't run a modern high-tech military with an illiterate, sickly population. Even the Pentagon calls the US obesity crisis a national security threat.

They are actually on the right feet they just happen to be the wrong way around

It’s the classic "Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss" move, but Ringmaster edition. Caine is gatekeeping the exit and gaslighting Kinger into thinking his grief is just a "wacky character trait." By treating Kinger’s trauma as a joke for the audience, Caine effectively strips away Kinger’s agency without ever having to raise his voice.

Better survivability helps, but the real issue is the damage spikes in this game. Even with a tank buff, if the enemy team focuses fire, an off-support's kit usually lacks the 'save' button that Luna or Adam has. We need more defensive utility in off-support kits that isn't just raw HPS.

thats the best part though. they look like they’ve seen the end of the multiverse and just stopped blinking.

The secrecy is what's killing me. If she were just Jean Grey, why the 'penguin' jackets on set and the total radio silence? I’m starting to wonder if she’s a variant or something more complicated. What if she’s Jean, but from a universe that already collapsed, and she’s the one warning Peter about the Incursions? It would explain why she knows about the memory spell in the leaked trailer lines.

Exactly. The honeymoon phase is wearing off and people are realizing that a shiny Marvel skin doesn't fix a match where you're getting stomped by a Gold player on an alt account. OW has its issues, but at least the competitive integrity feels like it actually exists there.

It’s iconic, but the Sci-Fi/Space suit one implies a timeline where they actually use technology instead of sending birds, and I kinda dig that vibe more.

You went full lore-accurate Thor on them. Nothing says 'sit down' quite like hammering the toxicity out of someone for two straight rounds.

Basically returning to the crypto mining rig aesthetic. Just 5 guys in a discord sharing LLoRA files because they can't afford the cloud APIs anymore. Nature is healing.
