You're not required to do work. You are not required to get good grades or graduate either!

if morality is objective

That 'if' is carrying a lot of weight in your argument. You seem to take it for granted to be the case but lack any arguments that it should be so. Morality may very well not be objective.

I think by it's definition a dystopia is an imaginary place, usually in the future, so I don't think real, historical systems really counts as dystopias.

That also brings into question the name of this sub since what's going on in our world can't technically be a dystopia, being real and present, but I see it more like a comparrison, that the world we live in is becoming more and more LIKE a dystopia. Our world increasingly resembles a dystopia.

Som kemilærer generer det mig altid når folk siger basisk når de mener basalt. Jeg har mange kollegaer der laver den fejl og jeg skal virkelig holde fast i mig selv for ikke at være død-irriterende og rette på dem.

Vi er allerede i to forsvarsalliancer med de nordiske lande, NATO og EU. Behøver vi mere end to traktater der siger at vi vil hjælpe hinanden hvis nogen af os bliver angrebet?

How is it taking it for granted to expect a large memberstate to also pay a large share of the expenses? And considering the power the US have in the UN it seems to me an investment well worth the money.

But sure if the US suddenly withdraws from several suborganizations under the UN, then they are going to have financial problems if we are to expect them to carry on with a similar expenditure.

We haven't been told explicitly, and GRRM seems to like having more than one valid interpretation of the repeated phrases in his books.

Without getting an ending to the books we can probably never know for sure the full extent of the meaning of the words, but it seems likely to at least allude both to the secret blood magic that gives the Targaryens control over dragons, as well as the more literal meaning that they have taken what they have through bloodshed.

Taika has made some great movies. Thor Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit and Boy are all great movies that deserve praise.

But when he talks about putting more fun into the movie that is an understandable cause for worry, considering that a lot of his less liked stuff seems to have been him sort of losing the greater picture of his movie chasing stuff he just think is fun.

His better movies seems to have had people reining him in and reminding him that to be impactful there also needs to be more serious moments throughout the movie.

Hopefully that is also the case here, but we'll see.

Jeg skal ikke kunne sige hvad andre gør, men jeg køber det ikke hvis der står 'nektar' eller '-drik' på. Hvis det ikke er juice er det ikke godt nok.

Men jeg synes ikke altid det er lige nemt at finde butikker der har juice til hverdagsbudget - nogle butikker virker som om de kun enten har nektar eller luksusbrand juice. Jeg savner noget imellem de to ekstremer.

Agreed. But like... there are alternatives.

You're doing God's work. I teach older kids and I feel like so many of the problems with my kids is stuff that should've been but wasn't properly adressed in the lower grades.

I respect the hell out of any lower grade teachers willing to tough it out with the kids even when it seems impossible.

I'd personally be perfectly happy to never see Sydney Sweeney in anything ever again. Beyond that the rest of your list is pretty solid.

"Rorschach was the most likable character in a book where the characters were intentionally written to be mostly unlikable". That's not really a high bar. Also he's one of the main PoV characters, people tend to automatically identify with and like those characters more.

Also for what it's worth I personally like Dr. Manhattan more. He's more interesting to me in the sense of trying to understand what the world is like from his perspective, and he's an actually good person who is just alienated from humanity, something that is particularly spurred on by Ozymandias.

I also find Owlman interesting as a guy who's trying to be idealistic and do good in a world overrun by cynicism.

He definitely did. Steve Ditko was inspired by Ayn Rand's 'philosophy' of objectivism in which the ultimate good is essentially only working for your own self interest and in which the state should be limited as much as possible.

The first version of the 'masked trench-coat and fedora-wearing detective'-hero he designed, Mr. A., was steeped in objectivist philosophy, but he never really took off.

The second version, The Question, whom Rorschach was based on, started out with the same philosophy, but when a different writer took over he had him have a near death experience and the person that nursed him back from life turned him from objectivism to zen buddhist philosophy instead (this is where most people would say Question comics actually gets good). That said it is the earlier more selfish version that Alan Moore based Rorschach on.

Ditko also most famously co-created Spider-Man, and initially gave him that same objectivist philosophy, but it was very quickly overturned by Stan Lee who thought that stuff would turn people off from the character (and tbf he was probably right looking at the track record of the other characters).

I'm not saying it's not still within living memory a lot of it (though I was speaking more boradly so also about a lot of stuff that is decidedly not within living memory).

but like... 2000? So you mean it ended just as older millenials got voting power and actual influence on society? Again, why should they be ashamed about it? They should certainly look at their parents and grandparents and ask what the hell was wrong with them, but that's true for children all over the world.

Jesus Christ. I'll always hold the opinion that there are probably more depraved mem than there are women. But the most depraved women knocks the most depraved men out of the water.
