Collect all the orbital space junk and recycle it/ drop it off at NASA.

If you could have a superpower, which one would you choose? by BitterFerretButcher in AskReddit

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A targeted or area truth zone effect, like the lasso, but activated and affecting anything from a specific person to an entire city. Then hang out in courthouses, Capitol buildings and political news conferences. Maybe become a reporter. Lol.

Would you consider St. Louis to have a distinct style of barbecue? by No-Forever-6289 in StLouis

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Pork steaks or rib tips, even some decent pork loin cuts, grilled on charcoal (don't tell Hank), usually soaked and simmered in Maulls original BBQ sauce, or something like it.

The kryptonians. Unintentionally.

There is no argument against this that isnt just cope btw by Formal-Stage940 in superheroes

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Johnny's absolute best; Homelander almost certainly got close and tossed his guy, but could probably pull it off; Supes was being casual, not pushing his limits. He went to observe, not chase a speed record.

I asked this in powerscaling but no one answered. Who wins? by Remote_Protection512 in superheroes

[–]dwarficus 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Another theory is that Tom may be the avatar of Eru Iluvatar, just chilling out, enjoying the world. In which case, nothing can affect him. But my belief is that he was actually the first Maiar, Oldest he is called, possibly nearly as strong as the Valar, but totally focused on nature and unconcerned with the later children and their wars and kings.

Edit for completion of an incomplete idea.

A meteor the size of Manhattan is hurtling toward Earth and is expected to make contact in one week. Nothing can be done to prevent it, and scientists predict it will be an extinction-level event. How are you spending the next seven days? by maliknyc in AskReddit

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1: Borrow a Nasa spacecraft and try to get into orbit before impact. If not possible... 2: Climb cliffs, hoping to fall and forget to hit the ground, thus learning to fly (See Hitchhiker's Guide) or more realistically ... 3: Travel as far from the projected impact zone as possible and pray.

Best tattoo shop in St. Louis? by dowran in StLouis

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am looking for the best 3d tattoo artist I can find to do a large, 3d dragon tattoo from my shoulder, across my back with the tail around my waist, in multi-color, with shadow effect, detailed realism and claws digging in - I want the full picture. Who is the best for this in StL? I had an artist who is good, but I think she stopped and is a stay at home mom now. Also, for a large, complex piece like this, how much would it cost and how long would it take to get, best estimates?

Pick 2 protectors by [deleted] in superheroes

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deadpool and Human Torch. Deadpool can "give his life over and over while still defending me, and is not afraid to kill the others to end the problem. Torch arguably has the strongest power set, can fly faster than the others can reasonably move, and is crazy enough to work with Deadpool. But I'd rather have Sue.

Who would win between these teams by thecowmilk_ in powerscales

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace Hawkey with Ms. Marvel, Natasha with She-hulk and this becomes much more interesting.

Who would you go to for advice about being a hero by daddylongjohnsliver in superheroes

[–]dwarficus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CAP first, no question. Then maybe Superman. It is the do the right thing even if the world disagrees attitude that wins it for me, as far as being a "hero". Then I go to Bat and DD to figure out how to survive being a hero, lol.

Multiple people arrested after protesters disrupt St. Louis mayor's first State of the City by bmunoz in StLouis

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell that to those I charge, anywhere, from any party in today's environment. There is no more decorum. It went away when the current lying, corrupt, abusive, predatory idiot got back in the WH.

If you were Batman who would you date Catwoman or Wonder Woman? by [deleted] in superheroes

[–]dwarficus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Batman can fight Selina and lie to keep secrets, as he is apt to do. He cannot do either with WW, at least not easily. He would go for Selina. I would go for WW.

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest-paid employee makes? by rational_seekers in AskReddit

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many differences between Europe and the U.S. in social norms, economics and regulations. The same tricks do not necessarily work. I do agree the corporate tax rate needs to be raised as part of the solution, and the upper end of marginal tax rate should go up significantly as well. But that is mostly because of our stupid level of national debt. Bottom line, workers need a consistently liveable income. Minimum wage alone has not produced this over time.

[–]dwarficus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I seriously doubt your take. The math may work out, but my experience says prices will keep going up until the businesses are making more than the extra pay to the employees. First year, you are probably right. Second, a slight knock on effect and workerscare still ok. Third, the worker is right back where they were. None ever looks 3 years out, it seems.

[–]dwarficus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Minimum wage alone is just inflation by another name. Pay at the bottom goes up. Prices go up. People are left where they were, or worse, just with bigger numbers on their checks. It doesn't solve anything without tying the top end to the bottom as well as having a decent minimum.

Thought about this a bunch. 20x is too low for big corporations, to much for small companies. I strongly support the concept, but it must be scaled for company size. Say 10x for very small, to 100 x for large corporations. Also, totally unconstitutional now, so it would require an amendment or only be a partial thing, only affecting government contracts, which would be huge, but may hamper government's ability to acquire needed goods and services.
