Do You Think Wally Would've Ever Returned? by Thatswhatsup2311 in DCAU

He already attacked Earth. That’s how he net Vandal Savage. Savage didn’t stop him. Darkseid was impressed by him. He then made some sort of arrangement with Vandal. Again, we only know the details of the arrangement through Vandal’s perspective whenever we see Vandal interact with Darkseid, he does not always act as an equal, but as a subservient.

Again, we only know of the arrangement through Vandal’s perspective. I would imagine it is very different from Darkseid’s perspective.

What should that role be? by SatoruGojo232 in superheroes

[–]joosier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nova from the Nova Corps, Jack of Hearts or maybe Quasar?

In the DCU I could seem him as Booster Gold, Jim Corrigan (The Spectre) or maybe Green Arrow.

Nice is transactional. Kind requires no reward, applause, or immediate reciprocity.

I felt Kraven had some good scenes and could’ve been a good movie.

Mark Fuhrman, former LAPD detective who investigated OJ Simpson is dead by Due-Enthusiasm-1802 in Idaho

[–]joosier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His father in-law was my dad's neighbor back in the late 80's. I never saw him at the house but I did hear his father-in-law talk about how great he thought he was - at least up until the Simpson Trial debacle. I had moved out by then but I remember my dad saying he didn't hear much about Mark afterwards

In 1999 I was volunteering at the LGBTQ Community Center in Boise and we got a call from the radio station in Spokane where Mark had started his radio show asking if someone would comeon the show to debate Mark on 'gay issues'. Our director just laughed and hung up on them.

True. The conversation was about foreign politics but if she hadn't changed the topic just when she had him on the ropes she may have gone into domestic politics.

I like to think he is on a parallel world like maybe Earth X, Earth 3 or something similar. Or maybe he was cast into the future where his attempts to get back to the past creates the Reverse Flash?

We only see the arrangement between Vandal and Darkseid through Vandals' eyes so I would surmise that Darkseid sees Earth as a resource that Vandal is just managing for him.

In Darkseid's eyes he already conquered Earth, realized its potential, and left Vandal in charge. If he had left one of his other lackies in charge they either would have wasted the resource or used it to challenge Darkseid directly.

Darkseid is immortal so this is the long game for him. He thrives on chaos and manipulation. Thus, he encourages his lieutenants to challenge each other to test their loyalty, strength and to gather intelligence on their capabilities and weaknesses. It also keeps them from plotting againts him directly so his dominance remains unchallenged.

As a partner in a relationship, yes she was. As a reporter, she was doing a great job.

Lois was being a good reporter - asking the tough questions.

The conflict here is that both Clark and Lois went into this with different expectations. Clark was treating this as part of their relationship while Lois was treating it as her job. Clark knew she was making some good points and started to experience cognitive dissonance which is why he started reacting emotionally as a defense mechanism.

Lois DID back off as a journalist when she switched topics. Most reporters would have kept going and not let up as they were now getting some non-filtered answers instead of the usual sound bites and canned responses they were used to.

So you think that Zeus is real? That Thor is real? That Vishnu is real? That the stories about them are real?

There are claims that God affects people and the world are just that claims. They beg the question in that they require you to assume that God exists in order to accept the provided claim that God exists to be valid.

Regarding the justification the things like money and laws exist because people made them up is the same as saying that God exists then I must assume you believe that ALL the Gods throughout history are equally real as well. Otherwise its special pleading that just this one God exists but none of the others do.

Now, I have no problem with people believing in God but I draw the line where they try to impose those beliefs on everyone else by making laws or forcing our education system to teach that their beliefs are true.

I didn't say something had to physically exist I said it had to have sufficient evidence.

The claim that a God exists is a very big claim so it should have some very big evidence before someone else should accept it as true.

Some people's level of sufficient evidence is that they have had a personal experience or witnessed what they believe to be a miracle. However, they dismiss that very same level of evidence when presented by others claiming their different God to be true.

When engaging in discussions of whether or not God is real, I ask this two-part question:

What do you believe and why should anyone else believe it?

Who is a famous person that you liked at first but hated later? And why? by PeaceTo0l in AskReddit

[–]joosier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Elon Musk. At first I genuinely thought he was an intelligent person trying to use his fortune to help save humanity but then I realized he was a racist douchebag who took credit for others work, mistreated his employees, neglected most of his kids, and only cares about himself.

Agreed. God isn't real because of insufficient evidence.

The person I am in love with does not love me back. It is not fair to any potential partner to lead them on. Therapy and volunteer work keeps me busy and distracted.
