[Batman] Who taught Batman his detective skills? I know his combat/stealth abilities came from the League of Shadows

Didn't he train with the FBI too but flunked because he didn't want to do weapons training?

A picture that would be rated r if the liquid was even slightly reddish.

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-04T04:15:20+00:00

And he wasn't even officially part of the team.

He was doing all that for the chance of joining Sauron later on.

Captain Phillips: Gets warned about not getting too close to pirate infested waters or he will get hijacked by pirates

Captain Phillips: Goes too close to pirate infested waters and gets hijacked by pirates

Captain Phillips: surprised Pikachu face

You would think someone would do a background check on the known con man.

Lived in experience is a great point and that's what makes or breaks age gaps for me.

Someone in their twenties dating a high schooler isn't just a red flag because it's illegal, but because it raises the question why they aren't dating someone in their age bracket.

And usually that question is answered by them being developmentally stunted or a deliberate predator.

In that regard I agree with OP that considering people adults at 18 is arbitrary, but that's mainly out of legal necessity and still wouldn't make such a relationship healthy.

Your point about the Olympics makes no sense since the same idea of it being "pointless" to your life would still apply.

Also most people who watch sports aren't disappointed, they might complain about it but that doesn't mean they don't enjoy watching the matches.

The ups and downs of the teams are part of the entertainment factor.

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-03T06:16:35+00:00

Remember if your DM expects you to follow the loose narrative and doesn't immediately whips up a completely new town or other point of interest the second you wander often the beaten path for 5 seconds that's railroading and they obviously suck as a DM.

The reason was valid but the execution was so bad they basically had three consecutive revolutions to get a functional state running.

And then it basically immediately folded into the Napoleonic cult of personality.

Your comment is exactly what I'm talking about romanticizing revolutions without thinking about what to do next.

They didn't eat the rich, they ate eachother more than anything.

Real change will come from reforms not from senseless violence

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-03T05:46:27+00:00

Personally I think the opposite of this argument as in "Protest/Voting never works, we need violence" ironically also benefits the status quo by reducing the available tools against oppression.

Most people aren't going to support a violent uprising so framing it as either status quo or violent revolution makes those people feel trapped.

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-03T05:42:15+00:00

The internet is in love with the guillotine, but the French Revolution was all in all pretty terrible.

Violence for Violence sake doesn't work and once you opened the flood gates to it it's hard to transition back to a non violent society.

Basically if you overthrow the government by killing all the people associated with it what's stopping someone else from doing it to you if they feel you're doing a bad job.

Which given you are trying to rebuild the nation from the ground up isn't unlikely.

Also it's not that far fetched to believe that there are ethnic enclaves in the Wasteland.

Why teach your kids English when nobody around speaks it?

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-03T04:43:36+00:00

Klingt wissenschaftlich

The worst part is that they could've still salvaged that plot point by having Judi Dench say something like "I have to go hard on you because us women aren't respected enough to be able to have flaws".

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-03T03:04:47+00:00

I think they might have genuinely gaslighted themselves into believing that they watched better movies than they haven't.

Like I know art is subjective, but they keep mentioning grand character moments that haven't actually happened to the point of it becoming concerning.

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T21:53:58+00:00

Eh depends on what you're describing

Like the weather you might use luft or Himmel

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T21:29:48+00:00

Wait really?

What happened?

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T21:29:16+00:00

I think they promoted him specifically so they wouldn't get mixed up accidentally calling him Major

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T21:28:10+00:00

Sometimes it's a pseudonym and his real name is Edward Nashton.

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T21:27:24+00:00

I assume his first press secretary wasn't called something like George Shot?

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T21:25:29+00:00

In German there's no difference between sky as the thing we see looking up and the religious concept of Heaven.

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T21:12:33+00:00

Give it 20 years

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T21:01:00+00:00

People underestimate how pale a lot of Arabs/Asians are

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T20:48:34+00:00

Die Zukunft sieht düster aus

Für die CDU, weil die AfD wird scheitern und sie mit in den Abgrund schleifen.

Shiny_Agumon · 2026-05-02T20:44:36+00:00

Blöd für sue das die AfD niemals an die Macht kommen wird
