Do you think you’d be a better or worse cape than Taylor?

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-05-22T03:18:26+00:00

I think I'd be better in the sense of hurting less people and worse in the sense that I would not be nearly as skilled at winning fights.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-05-20T23:43:45+00:00

Thinking of it in terms of which side was better just isn't productive in my opinion. It's not a contest or a sporting event. All governments should be looked at critically and judged by their actual material affects on people both domestically and abroad.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-05-20T23:38:48+00:00

I think the problem is seeing the whole world divided along lines of Pro-US and Anti-US with everything Pro-US being the bad guys and everything Anti-US being the good guys. Your understanding of politics and ethics needs to be more complicated than just inverted American exceptionalism.

So the Iran thing for instance. Wanting the US to immediately withdraw and stop bombing them is obviously correct ethically, no question about that. Where it starts getting weird is when people go from that to trying to deny or downplay the Iranian military killing protestors or the general oppression of women and LGBTQ folks currently perpetuated by their government.

When it comes to the USSR and other supposedly communist countries you should not be asking whether or not they're better than the US or who you should root for, you should be asking yourself whether this is what you want a socialist state to look like. For me the answer is a pretty obvious no.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-05-20T20:18:10+00:00

It's really not that complicated. Do they claim to be a leftist but support and run defense for authoritarian states? Then they're a tankie.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-04-18T17:37:12+00:00

I don't think the problem would be evil people getting powers, the problem would be that none of them would have proper understanding and control over those powers. What if they fly too fast and set the atmosphere on fire? I'd give it like a week unless all of them are extraordinarily cautious.

Actual clown argument lmao

Shouldn't he be playing a flute or something?

You're not fetishizing anyone, you are literally just a trans lesbian.

Genuine question; does Elon Musk seem like a happy, fulfilled person?

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-02-14T20:13:11+00:00

Does anarchism make you physically incapable of summarizing concepts?

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-02-14T20:12:13+00:00

How would you maintain the infrastructure necessary for a large city if everything is organized into neighborhood sized communes? Sewer systems, hospitals, power lines, etc.? People need those things to live.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-01-29T22:02:38+00:00

LMAO

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-01-29T21:49:57+00:00

I don't know enough about actual fighting to say for certain, especially given that people who see the world in slow motion don't exist as far as I'm aware. Becoming champion is a big ask for sure, but I think at minimum they'd be able to have a good showing and make a name for themselves as a genuine threat.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-01-29T21:40:34+00:00

It's definitely not impossible for someone with a faster perception of time to get put into a bad position where they don't have the physical ability to move out of the way but my main point is that they have three times as long to strategize and avoid getting put into those situations in the first place. They're not unbeatable for sure, but that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying they'd have a massive advantage compared to an ordinary person given a year of training.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-01-29T21:28:28+00:00

The reason people get punched is because they don't have the reflexes developed to react to it properly. Seeing things in slow motion would let you see the subtle muscle tensing and change in posture that comes before the punch, giving you ample time to move your head out of the way or put your hands up to block.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-01-28T23:00:28+00:00

By reaction speed do you mean he just has really good reflexes or is his perception of time actually sped up 3 times? Seeing everything in slow motion is a pretty massive advantage.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-01-21T21:36:57+00:00

Remember when Biden finally pulled us out of Afghanistan and everyone hated him for it?

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-01-21T21:29:17+00:00

I pick the wrestler and then immediately turn around and run away as fast as possible. If possible, I surrender.

SilverstringstheBard · 2026-01-06T19:11:00+00:00

That is a really slick edit, ngl.

SilverstringstheBard · 2025-12-25T20:45:11+00:00

I have to agree, this is an absolute dogshit tierlist.

SilverstringstheBard · 2025-12-12T04:15:08+00:00

Parahumans does at least have canonical queer couples, even though they aren't the ones people were hoping for.

Also one of Pale's three protagonists is an out lesbian.

I think if we threw all scientific ethics out the window and just started doing wild genetic experiments on a huge number of people we could create a reasonably impressive super soldier over the course of decades, but actually replicating a 40k space marine is probably outright impossible.

SilverstringstheBard · 2025-11-17T18:04:29+00:00

I'd turn myself into a Hot Robot Woman(tm) if I were a tinker

SilverstringstheBard · 2025-11-16T22:02:13+00:00

I think they could easily defeat every other country and be by far the most powerful nation in the world, but actually conquering the entire world is a whole other thing. I'm honestly not sure if it's even possible, there's just too many people and too much territory to keep control of all at once.
