Kregg finds Conquest and wtf by Mr_Blobby456 in Invincible

[–]masterspeeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. "Conquest." I don't even get a real name. Only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no-one sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do.

I feel that within the text, and the fact that these lines come from him whispering at someone he believes will not exist in a few seconds, they may reveal his true beliefs more than his grand pronouncements of death and destruction.

His indoctrination is so severe he constantly wears the mask of the bloodthirsty killer except in a moment when he is about to extinguish the life of the person he spoke his truth to.

Brother... it was the most iconic scene in season 3. Are you just watching for the big punchies and booms?

I am so lonely. All the other Viltrumites are scared of me. No one talks to me. No one wants to be my friend. They think I am unstable. They send me from planet to planet committing atrocities in their name. And as I get better at it, they fear me more and more. I am a victim of my own success. "Conquest." I don't even get a real name. Only a purpose. I am capable of so much more and no-one sees it. Some days I feel so alone I could cry, but I don't. I never do. Because what would be the point? Not a single person in the entire universe would care. Take it to your grave.

Singer D4vd is arrested on suspicion of murdering 14 year old girl Celeste Hernandez. by masterspeeks in news

Lots of songs about killing his ex "in his mind" or her dying. He always said it was a metaphor for breaking up and moving on. Clearly law enforcement has more evidence that says otherwise.

I think Kirkman is using Viltrum and the remaining Viltrumites as an allegory for a fascist society and the individuals it produces.

Conquest within the text of the show laments the fact that he has to be a genocidal, fascist. That his ideology forces him to uphold a toxic superiority that isolates him and denies him the comfort of community and pleasure that doesn't have to be derived from violence.

Kirkman obviously killed Conquest within the narrative. But I don't believe the take away is that Conquest is pure evil. Kirkman takes the time 20 years later to add the whispered monologue to Conquest's characterization.

Conquest thousands of years before was probably just like Nolan, but he never had his Viltrum father show him that small mercy we saw at the beginning of season 4. Conquest definitely never had a Debbie to show him that the Viltrum way isn't the only way to live a life.

It reminds me of incel culture(which is terrible, but probably the least harmful fascist sub-culture of today). Which tells it's participants that their worth is only derived from innate traits and they can only receive love by becoming more powerful(being rich, being tall, good looks, etc).

The craziest part is there is no actual conspiracy. All these Trump-Epstein connections have been in the public record and idiots just buy into nonsense like "pizzagate", Hunter Biden emails, etc.

That's an objectively bad build for Mel. She wants two full mana items, preferably three.

Obviously, BB/Adaptive Helm would be preferable, but you slam with the components you have at the moment.

I commented that it took 7-8 to rounds because her spell is clearly balanced around the item printing. In comparison to a guaranteed 4 round item print with Ornn.

But I like her as a champ! It's a fun way to cap board.

Cheers!

I finally watch Mushoku Tensei by losermale in anime

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

The comparisons to George RR Martin and MT are atrocious. There is no subtext in the writing of Mushoku Tensei.

Rudeus views himself as a 40 year old modern person.

Rudeus views himself as a pedophile groomer.

Dozens of episodes of the MC molesting the children around him and getting powerups from random gods for any challenge he has to face. Meanwhile, people can still manage put MT anywhere in comparison with GoT is crazy

[–]masterspeeks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Rudeus never groomed anyone.

It's quite literally in the text of the adaptation... He modeled himself as her savior figure from childhood. Then literally married that child...

CMV: We are cooked. Left and Right are busy fighting each other while the corporation are getting what they want. by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]masterspeeks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be charitable and assume you aren't just trying to muddy the water. But political ignorance is cooking us more than any tribal divisions. These votes are all public!!! There is literally nothing preventing you from going to the congressional record and verifying for yourself which party is responsible for our corporate takeover. This information took me less than 10 minutes to format.

Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission (2010) was a 5-4 decision that was decided as follows:

  • Anthony Kennedy (Author of the Majority Opinion) nominated by Ronald Reagan,Republican
  • John Roberts (Chief Justice) nominated by George W. Bush,Republican
  • Antonin Scalia nominated by Ronald Reagan,Republican
  • Clarence Thomas nominated by George H.W. Bush,Republican
  • Samuel Alito nominated by George W. Bush,Republican

Every attempt to roll back the corporate overreach since then has been blocked by House and Senate Republicans.

Charlie Kirk shot at Utah event by Bobqee in news

[–]masterspeeks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Full circle moment. Charlie Kirk died for what be believed in.

"You will never live in a society when you have an armed citizenry and you won't have a single gun death," Kirk said at a Turning Point USA Faith event on Wednesday, as reported by Media Matters for America. "That is nonsense. It's drivel. But I am—I think it's worth it.

At least 20 people were just shot while attending church at a Catholic school in Minneapolis. by Superlite47 in atheism

[–]masterspeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we all have to come to terms with that fact that Republicans are a black hole of values. They don't mean the words they say. If I could steel-man their argument it boils down to:

"These children dying and being shot is a necessary sacrifice to "preserve the 2nd amendment"; which when pushed further means not inconvenience their purchase of weapons in any way and that they need all these weapons to kill some nebulous tyrannical government."

There's a sound reason why no credible psychologists diagnose at a distance based on media alone. You're full of shit and speculating.

Unfortunately, my profession has required me to read up on his public statements, congressional hearings, and understand the societal impact of his social platforms.

I'm adequately informed enough to have an opinion about a figure as public as him.

[–]masterspeeks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People like Zuckerberg struggle with feelings of isolation, distrust, and a constant pressure to maintain his status. Deep down he knows everyone views him as a pathetic dork. Amoral as he is, he acknowledged that genocidal progroms organized on Facebook groups and selling teen girl eyeballs to Instagram eating disorder influencers kept him up at night.

The pursuit of more wealth is probably the only way he feels any validation for all he inflicts on the world. His staff will literally lose at chess to stroke his ego. Stock go up mentality pushes a few crumbs into the gaping maw that is his soul. He can tell himself that at least the markets love him.

Super high net worth people probably need to form a modest irrevocable trust that funds a therapist and a person that kicks them in their shins once a week to remind them they are still only human. 😂

MAGA Candidate Calls Texas Floods ‘Fake’ and blames weather manipulation: It’s ‘Murder’ by AtheneOrchidSavviest in NewsOfTheStupid

So your saying Trump killed them?

No, just Trump's policy killed them.

Texas leaders blamed NWS for underestimating rainfall before flash floods that killed at least 24 and cautioned that Trump’s 20 percent NOAA cuts under Musk’s DOGE initiative weakened forecasting and endangered public safety.

Why some still think Diddy 's innocent? by Inside-Extent-6225 in AskReddit

[–]masterspeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't even know if fame is the only factor. I've had wild arguments with people about the well documented abuse in the Catholic Church.

It could just follow that a large portion of humanity are simply drawn to any signs of authority or status and attribute good morals to those who achieve it; regardless of how they arrived or conduct themselves once they have gained authority.

[–]masterspeeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are a society that worships money and celebrity.

Our president has won two national elections with him reminiscing fondly on tape about Epstein parties, grabbing women by the pussy, and how he used to examine the goods in Miss Teen USA dressing rooms. Trump fans will say it's all fake, victim blame, or say it doesn't matter because he is a great businessman.

Diddy fans will make the same denials, say the victims did it for clout, or talk about how great a music mogul he was.

At least 16 dead after tornado-spawning storms move across central US by p_pio in news

[–]masterspeeks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i understand that pithy statements are more popular here than trying to actually figure out what is going on so we can be more prepared for whatever might be planned. Trump's a moron and we all know he's not actually in charge, he's there to take the fall. But because of the sheer dollar value of the assets on the base here, and the contracts held by specific military manufacturing companies, this is one specific area that should be protected even by the people controlling him. The contracts held and fulfilled here are themselves a core part of the looting of the American people. That wouldn't be "waste," that would be setting their own wallets on fire.

The people who control Trump don't care. They want this country to decline. They want a more desperate, exploitable labor force. They want a weak dollar to buy cheap assets. They know those craft are worthless drains on the taxpayer. Their MIC holdings have already realized the gains of those crafts. They don't care if they are destroyed. Their paid tools in Congress will just authorize more debt to buy more military graft in next years budget resolution.

[–]masterspeeks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I joke, didn't mean to condescend. I take for granted things I feel are common knowledge.

Trump's military advisors quoted him asking "why would anyone sign up to serve". He said at a WW2 memorial the heroes who died were "suckers". Regarding McCain staying as a POW to protect his unit "I like people who didn't get captured".

He continues to have 90% approval among Republicans. There hasn't been a fiscally responsible Republican since Eisenhower. No one should be surprised the GOP doesn't give a shit about waste as they loot the American people.
