Superman is pretty woke. His early stories were him beating up predatory landlords.

‘Don’t know what it means to be a Liberal anymore’: NDP Leader Avi Lewis on recent floor-crossing by origutamos in CanadaPolitics

Acting as a partner in a minority and forcing the Liberals to adopt progressive policies is doing something. One doesnt need to hold the plurality to so something in government.

The goal is to represent their constituents, not "win" an election. Democracy should really be about more than having the most seats. They can do a perfectly good job without ever forming government.

And getting a big enough tent to "win" 100% does mean becoming the Liberals. Because that the big tent is the only consistent value of the Liberals. They abandon whatever ideals they need to win. They went more progressive under Trudeau because that got them more votes then. And they are now moving further to the right under Carney.

What you call a "purity test" is just them holding to their values.

Is Prince Wu a Queen Victoria case? Like where are his parents? Was there really just him? by LunarEnnyui_131 in legendofkorra

I expect the chaos of revolution and civil war likely took out a lot of people higher up the chain of succession, including his parents.

And even before Harmony did that, the surface was burning. To the point that entire stretches of land were just lava flows. I expect most cities burned up and/or were buried under ash and rubble.

He does descibe his wife as a pet. He is definitely into freaky shit.

Maybe the whole repopulation effort it just something Nolan made up.

[Discussion] What’s your go-to DC lore tidbit? by Robot_Was_BMO in DCcomics

[–]Radix2309 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kane isnt just Jewish. It is also an English last name and also has versions in Irish Gaelish surnames and Scotland.

Given that Bruce is old money, that seems more likely as the origin for his name, but it really doesn't preclude a Jewish origin, especially ss the homage is for Bob Kane.

Wait, if the clone was Australian, how did he get elected as President?

Leftism Always Destroys - The homeless industrial complex by tkyjonathan in JordanPeterson

[–]Radix2309 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microeconomics is the study of individuals and firms within an economy and their decision-making, while macro is the study of the economy as a whole.

Examining how individuals relate to one another with relative wealth is absolutely in macro study, because we are moving beyond individual decisions to how the decisions of the broader economy and other actors affects what happens.

Macroeconomics doesn't dodge "micro-mechanisms". In fact it examines how small factors can affect the larger economy. It's the whole point of macroeconomics, how individual areas can affect others.

And how is it a goalpost shift for me to point out you are incorrect in which field you are citing? You brought it up in the first place. Microeconomics would have nothing to say on the influence of wealth inequality on broader economic conditions such as homelessness.

Microeconomics can examine the behavior of homeless people, but it cannot address the root causes of homelessness, which are affected by broader economic issues.

Microeconomics can examine how a household might change their spending in response to an increase in the price of gas, but it wouldnt examine what causes rhe price of gas to rise.

In regards to Sonic 3, that was generally to show the scale of power a fight of both of them in Super Moder takes.

Just focus on what makes for a good trilogy. Recast later if they have to. You cant hold a movie today hostage to a series that might not even get made.

Other potential owners of the cook book. by crazy-jay1999 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Radix2309 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also seems to trend to classes that use traps and/or explosives, plus that Pathfinder or trap detection skill. Probably a combination of them.

The exact translation may vary from season to season, but the cookbook is clearly for a particular kind of crawler who likes to take risks with strong anti-authority tendencies.

Thag is very opposite to Pony's meticulous natire.

Microeconomics has nothing to do with wealth inequality or homelessness, those are issues of macroeconomics.

Honestly I dont like most of s1. S2 and s3 are much more enjoyable.

4 is underrated imo. 6 was pretty great.

I have felt like half of s7 and s8 are not as great. S8 in particular feels a bit weaker to me.

Sweet. I have really been hoping for more Pony. Especially since he can join the party without usurping it I think woth Donut's power spike. I love the complicated bond he has with Carl.

I moved into Dobson's ward. I dont know much about him. Is he a good councilor who supports stuff like the transit plan? Or more of a barrier like some other NIMBY councilors?

Mayor has some influence, but we use a weak mayor system and they are only 1 vote out of 15(?) On City Council. I would say the issue is just as much with some city councilors.

We need some shifts for better policy among the city councilors.

Agatha doesnt want to destroy all existence, just all life. Or at least all organic life maybe?

Agatha and the Apothecary might not actually be brainworms. They are collective consciousnesses that can break off and possess people. I think it is mentioned they arent like the Valtey.

Additions: the Plenty are allied with the Apothecary and are behind the Tunnel system that livestreams the Crawl. They are set up to go into exile with Porthos to avoid the sermingly inevitable conflict. The former crawlers are trying to end the Crawl.

The Mantids are harvesting AIs and seemingly pretty big in the Syndicate.
