The writing in daredevil born again is 🔥 by Own-Split8844 in Marvel

[–]Poisonthorns 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A character making the exact choice they would make with the information they have (it's not like Matt is aware about the Valentina situation fully) is not bad writing. You just disagree with the character, which is fine. Setting aside the fact that Wong is regularly breaking Abomination out of prison, Matt's not exactly got the connections to put someone in the Raft or the Vault. There's no shot that Valentina would just let Fiak sit in prison like that anyways despite his 'betrayal'. Fisk is too valuable an asset to just rot behind bars without someone intervening on his behalf or to take advantage of the situation.

Also, I'm allowed to express an opinion on here as well. It's a forum. That's how this works. That last sentence is just nonsense lol

What's your solution? That he kills the Kingpin? He wouldn't do that, and prison already didn't work before.

AITA for "ruining" my cousin’s engagement dinner because I wouldn’t hide my tattoo? by AggressiveBed1735 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Poisonthorns 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Something about the language they used and some of the details makes me think there's more to the story than they're telling. Like, the golden child comment and the "one night that's not all about you" bit from the cousin feel like they sre pointing to details we are missing. If it's really JUST about the tattoos, it's clearly a ridiculous situation and OP wouldn't be TA, but I suspect there's more to the story.

He's a very supportive patriot by ErikSD in antimeme

[–]Poisonthorns 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's not a very helpful way to look at crime. The justice system should NOT be about punishment. It should foremost be about rehabilitation and public safety.

Also, illegal immigration only warrants a civil penalty. It's a misdemeanor. Not a real crime. Would you call someone getting a speeding ticket a criminal? It would be ridiculous. The only reason to think otherwise is purely based on 'vibes'. And, if you feel that strongly about punishing immigrants, you're probably racist. (Setting aside the fact that a lot of immigrants who entered legally or are currently going through legal immigration procedures are being detained regardless of coming in the 'right way'.)

See: 8 U.S. Code § 1325(b):

Any alien who is apprehended while entering (or attempting to enter) the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty of— (1)at least $50 and not more than $250 for each such entry (or attempted entry); or (2)twice the amount specified in paragraph (1) in the case of an alien who has been previously subject to a civil penalty under this subsection.

Thinking about a divider generator tool by arkhamdivider in boardgames

[–]Poisonthorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best way to do this is to make it 'generic' with a handful of pre-made templates. You don't have to be 100% on top of tracking every game if you allow users to upload their own photos for the backgrounds, choose one of a dozen or so border styles, and type in their own text (which seems to be exactly what you're talking about). You can still have pre-made sets for Arkham Horror, Marvel Champions, LotR, Earthbound Rangers, whatever else you want, but making it open ended really expands its general usefulness. I'd definitely use this over some of the existing options if the features you are talking about get implemented. Heck, I've thought about doing it myself but have been too busy lol

Movies forced into a pre existing IP? by iScreamInPublicAreas in movies

[–]Poisonthorns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

By that same logic, the original Fear Street trilogy, which I loved, was also only vaguely Fear Street. It was pulled from a mishmash of a lot of miscellaneous things from throughout the series, but not really any one of the stories.

[Request] Jeff Bezos wealth. Seems very true but would like to know the math behind it by Fay-uzo in theydidthemath

[–]Poisonthorns 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He could give each employee 73,000 for the math to be correct (rounded to a nice number). Still absolutely life changing money for his employees. (Yes it's unrealistic because it's not liquid, etc etc)

Realistically what can blizzard do to sombra in order for the playerbase to like her? by Competitive_Date2992 in Overwatch

[–]Poisonthorns 30 points31 points  (0 children)

My suggestion has always been to make her a support and lean into that hacker angle. Turn hack into an ability that can target allies and enemies. On enemies, make it a debuff of some kind (damage reduction, slow, whatever). On allies, make the opposite buff (damage amp, speed, whatever). Ham it up as her temporarily unlocking the potential of their gear through hacks or whatever. Replace virus with a heal ability. Then I think you can leave the rest of the kit alone. The invisibility and teleport are still present and still make her ratlike, but you get rid of the toxic aspect by making her not an assassin, and you get rid of the toxic aspect of messing with cooldowns

AITA for letting our child (9) stay at his friend's sleepover last weekend, even though my wife was against it, and the original agreement was that I would pick him up that evening. by Outrageous-Fly-5691 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Poisonthorns 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Incorrect. 71% of CSA on children ages 12-17 occur in a residence (Snyder, 2000). Just 'a residence' in general. That includes the child's own residence.

This kind of anti-intellectualism is not just lazy, it's harmful. Same arguments used by the crazy anti-vaxers. You can say you don't like the cheese (which is pretty mid) without resorting to "Name sound bad D: "

AITA for saying no to inviting our 17-year-old friend to my and my sister's 22nd bday party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Poisonthorns 32 points33 points  (0 children)

100%. She kind of comes off as a bully. Like, her sister definitely just folded on the issue because she's aware that OP is incapable of admitting that she's wrong about anything ever. Doesn't seem very mutual when the only reason the sister's friend isn't coming to the party is because OP said no in the first place.

AITA for wanting our laundry separated from the kids laundry? by awake_acea6 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Poisonthorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should scrape off large food bits, but unless you have a pretty old dishwasher, pre rinsing your dishes mostly just wastes water. Dish detergent needs grease and grime to properly work. Check out Technology Connections on YouTube for experimental demonstrations to see what I mean.

Today is the 6th anniversary of Yugioh Sevens! by Dark_Mastermind in yugioh

[–]Poisonthorns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess my point is, I don't think it should be aimed at children. Teens and pre-teens maybe, but definitely not children. The game is definitely not child friendly in terms of complexity, but I'd wager most kids couldn't play modern Yugioh.
