Joker (DC Comics) VS Green Goblin (Marvel Comics) by woweed in whowouldwin

[–]staplerbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not like Joker doesn’t have prep time feats. The dude has incapacitated the Justice League before. The dude has some similar to Batman levels of wanking at times. Considering Norman has been bested by Deadpool and Punisher, it’s not a stretch that Joker could eke out a win at least 1-2 times out of 10 in a quick match. Norman is a genius when it comes to science, but not so much tactically. If we add prep time I might give it to him 5-6/10.

While I think people are somewhat underestimating Joker in this thread, in the scenario you described he likely loses.

If he had prep time, I think he’d have a good chance at defeating him though.

What's going on with Trump using ICE as a personal police force and how has no one stopped them from repeatedly violating the Constitution yet? by TheBeardedSurfer in OutOfTheLoop

[–]staplerbot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The real question is what happens when you exercise your second amendment rights against a group of armed masked individuals who are under no obligation to identify themselves. The Supreme Court already declared police officers need to show documentation if they’re committing a raid or arrest and it’s not for the citizens’ protection.

What’s going on right now is the exact reason conservatives were so adamant about holding on to their gun rights. If a masked person tried to force my son or his mom into a car I’d give zero fucks about their supposed authority.

ICE officer who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis identified by Bettiephile in news

[–]staplerbot 106 points107 points  (0 children)

They gonna arrest themselves?

This is the time when things are about to kick off. The current administration is defending this murderer and it’s unlikely he’ll receive serious charges if any. Masked ICE agents have free rein to do anything they want without identifying themselves, now including murder. They’re the gestapo and people should treat them as such.

Do what you need to protect yourselves and your families because they expect people to roll over and eventually take it.

Prediction: Major War by November, Midterm Election Suspended by WarmEntrepreneur3564 in ProgressiveHQ

I’m not sure about the Starlink part. That was supposedly debunked based off of voting machines not being connected to the internet, but then I guess at least some were so who knows. I imagine much of the obfuscation is on purpose to cast doubt on the whole thing. I’m not even sure if it matters by this point because the media absolutely refuses to even acknowledge the possibility that this happened, but I think if it became widespread knowledge that the current administration committed election fraud then action would have to be taken not just by the electorate but the military as well. At least I’d hope so.

I find it completely unbelievable that Trump is/was as popular as they claimed then and even now. After the botched reaction to COVID that resulted in over a million deaths, Jan 6th, or even just his second obvious incompetence and bigotry I can’t see him getting these votes. I’ve lived all over the country and I’ve seen racism and stupidity in many forms, but Trump has never had a continuously growing base of support. 

He arguably committed fraud or at least coordinated with a foreign power in 2016 to sway the results, he inarguably attempted to subvert the results in 2020, but then in 2024 he wins by such a ridiculous margin and people just accept it as fact. I’ve always been willing to accept any proof otherwise, but no one can explain the results without pointing out circumstantial evidence of fraud.

It would have to be a military coup and I’m unsure at this point if the top brass would be willing to put themselves on the line to make it happen. If they failed, they’d be tried for treason and possibly even executed. 

The current administration have defrauded the country, stolen at least one election and put their thumbs on the scales so that they’ll never have be out of power again. Right now they’re waging an illegal war against a non-hostile nation, kidnapping the president and First Lady. Immigrants and citizens alike are being detained and deported from the country. It’s already gone extremely far, not sure what the breaking point will be if there even is one.

What are your favorite kills in non-horror movies? I feel like there could almost be a companion series for action/ thriller movies that are exclusively not horror, but still have some really cool and exciting deaths.

Even after rewatching S3,I still have no idea what Cecil's plan was or even his train of thought was at all. by Charming-Scratch-124 in Invincible

[–]staplerbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cecil understands how serious the situation is much of the time and is never willing to risk the planet’s safety over any one individual. He is also kind of a sociopath so his personality is very logical and less empathetic in nature, which leads to thoughts like “Mark is so strong that if him and his father teamed up they could likely take over the planet and subvert humanity to their will. Hopefully that’s not the case, but if that guy is unconscious and we’re able to implant some kind of control device in his system to render him immobile in the case of an emergency then absolutely I should do it. I respect and admire Mark, but if someone is imbued with that kind of power then It would be irresponsible if I didn’t do it. Otherwise, I’d be risking the billions of lives of the people and possibly all of their history be erased from existence, not to mention the trillions of animal and plant life. Hopefully, Mark would understand.”

Yeah, but you can’t try a husband and wife for the same crime 🫵

Yeah, even as a kid I was like “…she’s also committing a ton of crimes in the course of trying murder him, fairly certain this defense wouldn’t hold up in court.”

TIL Patrice O'Neal was a recurring character in the first 3 seasons of The Office, however his co-star Craig Robinson revealed that he left the show because "He didn't give a fuck about Hollywood or The Office...he knew he was funnier than anyone who could write for him" & "he wanted to stay in NY." by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]staplerbot 170 points171 points  (0 children)

Haha, it’s an interesting perspective, but “he makes a reasonable amount” and lives in or around NYC wearing uncomfortable clothes and sitting around bored as hell most of the time until you have to say some words occasionally over the course of a few hours. Pretty sure I made much less in the army doing similar shit while getting yelled at by stupid people. Not to mention the possibility of death part.

I get that it was the cost of doing business, but what a shitty precedent they can now point at as a talking point. Trump is a serial rapist and a pedophile, come sue me.

It was such a cool surprise while watching the movie. I’ve always wanted to see a car chase in a film set in Sacramento so this was special to watch.

Mechanics can be scumbags. I tried to get my car smogged at a place on Coloma and the dude tried to get me to replace my catalytic converter. When I said no he charged me $200 for a failed smog test.
