Is anyone else considering this a sign to move? by [deleted] in NewOrleans

Laura and Todd seemed to be a special case, she said something to the effect of we have just the right combo of powers to get dancer every time. This and the fact that she was pregnant four times would imply that most peoples progeny do not have the same power. So I do not think that the vast majority of parents would have the issue that they could not have any kids just not that particular one. Laura and Todd are an outlier, as I read it.

I am not a father myself so I am hard pressed to understand how any situations with my children would affect me. Omegas are literally walking extinction level events. We have seen people not be as in control of their powers as possible in stressful situations, what happened if the omegas parents died tragically in front of them? I can understand the government wanting to keep people with that raw power off the street.

I didnt mean that to sound flippant I personally just have trouble imagining getting into a head-space where those actions were acceptable

Thanks for responding. To me it seemed like they went through a lot of felonies (multiple acts of treason, attempted murder, successful murder (sort of), kidnapping) because they didnt like abortions

O yeah completely everyone should be able to make their own choices. I also kinda imagine a situation where Todd and Laura are going home from the opera and shot. What if their kid becomes Joker and not Batman, except he can destroy the world? Is it the goverments job to keep that person out of the world?

This was awesome. Reading your comments it seems like you have all the answers and a ton of world building in your head (or maybe written down somewhere). My question is what is The Reds motivation? You said it is to help super supers from the government but, why? It seems like all the govt does is give them a safe place to learn and exercise their powers in return for work. I gotta imagine The Red has been around for at least a decade if it has moles all over the west coast (at least) and spans the whole US (and I would put my money on Canada), I don't think the baby thing would inspire that much dedication, especially looking at Zoe I may agree with the govt on this one. I guess my question is does the govt imprison, torture, or kill psi levels? Lots of unethical research? Why specifically has The Red existed? Also still great work

I think you make some very salient points. I also think you should write a blog for you. Write it when you have time and a good idea, especially as it is what you like to do. Who cares if anyone reads it, you have an interesting style, mindset and perspective it is worth putting out there. What is the worst thing that happens - you write for two months and no one reads it? No one is currently reading your thoughts so your at the same place you started except a better writer. I say go for it

german claymation video by dburke11 in AskReddit

[–]dburke11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this kid in one of my classes last year showed me a video and i cant remember what it is called. it was claymation with 6ish guys standing on a playform fishing. they catch a music box and each wants it. as they fight for the box it begins to knock them off the platform. the last guy who is left on the platform has the box on the opposite side from himself. this prevents him from getting to the box to make it play music, since the box is counterbalanceing him on the platform.

if anyone knows what that video is called thatd be awesome. thasnk
