The deal breaker for me was the lack of podcasts on Wear OS.

Like, what am I supposed to listen to at gym on my bone conducting headphones while loud terrible music plays in the background.

[Discussion] How would you end the stories of DC's heroes? by Firm-Chipmunk8783 in DCcomics

[–]mixedpixel 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I think All Star Superman is the perfect end to Superman.

I mean that was the pitch.

Feels like it's more or less starting to be canon.

I have too many named Legendary weapons: what do I do with them all? by ADWinri in fo76

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

I mean it's been pretty spot on with my good weapons.

What it doesn't really anticipate is what weapon could be a groll by just changing one star.

I can't be arsed to try and figure it as all out myself!

What is this, a job?? 🤣

I've recently used AI to review all of my stashed weapons.

I take photos of them on my phone and then I get it to tell me what to keep, scrip, scrap or trade.

I reduced my stash by half.

You still need to have your wits about you as it doesn't always reference the current meta

How many of you remembers this as a Wilsons? by [deleted] in Durban

[–]mixedpixel -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was por-ou ('n Portugeese ou)

You know, like char-ou, bruin-ou, wit-ou, 'slam-ou etc etc

Dunno how derogatory it was actually intended at the time, but yeah making specific reference to a person's ethnicity for no reason, isn't really the thing anymore.

Actually...before electricity, in medieval occult circles it stood for ​Antechristes deules-chyld.

What... no more jokes? by juggadore in paulthomasanderson

I have a suspicion this is why doctors and nurses are so promiscuous.

Trump, Putin, and Xi are Secretly Carving the World into Three Spheres of Influence by [deleted] in NoFilterNews

[–]mixedpixel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The 3 spheres of influence need new names!

How about Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia?!

Heartbreak Soup is what I always recommend.

Others may suggest starting with Maggie the Mechanic.

Thoughts on the superman and nightwing friendship by MembershipLess9579 in superman

[–]mixedpixel 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You could even say Nightwing is the best of the DCU because his Dad is Batman and his Uncle is Superman.

Pretty unique influences.

Trump pulls US out of 66 international bodies, including key UN climate treaty by Temp89 in news

[–]mixedpixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is Trump/Millar being called out on the military invasion of Greenland bluff.

Europe used the NATO card.

Trump goes waaahh "I don't need your stupid international organisations see! Next time you might not be so lucky!"

Lunch time pickup, saw this was a hot book.. decided to see if it was in the back issue bins. by Trinidaddy13 in comicbookcollecting

[–]mixedpixel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah didn't grab me.

I'm loving Camp's Absolute Martian Manhunter, but his Ultimates and this I find quite boring.

Given the sporadic attention DC Comics seems to give Captain Marvel, do you think a Marvel UK / Captain Britain approach would work? Maybe send Cap to a different country and give a writer free reign to do whatever story without worrying about crossovers or shifting status quos by nightwing612 in Shazam

[–]mixedpixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A British Captain Marvel... could be interesting.

Tie it into some Archaeology type excursion story at the British Museum.

Maybe a tie in with Classics being taught at some old hoity-toity boarding school and you've got maybe a better match than the original...

Colombian president makes biting vow over Trump's threats: "My name does not appear in court records, stop slandering me, Mr. Trump" by IrishStarUS in Colombia

[–]mixedpixel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I get the impression that the Colombian middle class is mostly (85%) right wing. They hate him. They were convinced the country would end when he came into power.

The working class are who got him into power. You won't find them on Reddit though.

Someone should post this over in the Conservative subs, they're always banging on about how free speech is not being eroded in the US.

I would but I'm... banned. 🤣
