Bibles? Are you guys well? Is it bought, by MAGA satanists? I’m having trouble imagine audience that woul care about bible enought to buy it but who have coplete disregard for the 2nd commandement in the same time. This is bonkers.

You’ll enjoy Spock’s “I’m the X”.

thank you! It felt like xkcd!

ok… but why? Loss feels like the culture eating it’s own tail.
For me loss is a Tic Tack of content: “Suggar free”, yet it’s all empty calories somehow.

Feel like we all loose.

Is this the one with hospital death comics simplified to lines and shapes? My senciere appologies for being old.

Capitan? Please help.

I’ll bite:

This is the part that resonated with me the most as the casual user. The interface is, so confusing that the differences between various forms of chats seems deliberately unclear. And all that’s “useful” is opt-in. And Groups - most used in corporate or project setting, can’t be encrypted at all? That’s… peculiar.

Again, thanks for the eye-opener.

No, I can’t stress enough how much I appreciate it. What I do right now is sending this article with TLDR to all my friends and family.

Any advice for people that used it in the past? After reading the article, my understanding is that what was sent in “private chat” was in fact encrypted (for the most part) and can be considered secured (to the degree - something is off and, maybe we didn’t find out yet, how the encryption is compromised). But it would wise to treat all other conversations as something that is compromised. Is this a fair summary?

Well, it was obvious to you. I’m a casual user, who tries to “do his best” and consider himself “somewhat informed” - obviously not by your standard. It was all news to me, and I find tremendous value in this article.

Go for the Owls and sent the letter up with a rumor that the De-Gnoming procedure is about to start. They are not that bright. They will run down to you.

I don’t know… if only we have something like hard data from things like investing that could prove that women are better and making long-term decision and are less likely to make a rush decisions based on short-lived noise. You write like it’s something we know from at least from early 2000s. It’s not like it’s a strong and growing consensus now, right?

Is open-source washing really a thing? Any examples come to mind?

That is… a very good point. Not only in the environmental niche, we desperately crave more “it may be legal, but it needs to be stopped” stories. It would actually make more sense narratively. Gave them the actual reason to vigilante.

I ment Swamp Thing! Swamp Thing!

Albo, I think Poison Ivey is anti-hero now. So… progress?

Also, Also super heros are by defintion rectionary - it’s a whole thing, there is a book about it. So you may hava a point.

What his primary characteristic in your mind?

I agree how the filed is overall. He’s a very small represnetiarion. But I stand by that he’s a valid one.

I couldn’t agree more. But I could live with the status quo of the environment, I think it could be done well… IF you are willing to let your characters change. But they insist on Batman that needs to stay broken even when he overcomes all his obstacles. He’s a fantasy of a perfect man, right? He should be self-aware and smart enough to start therapy by now. He already raised a family of heros, and which one of them surpass him in some way… the only reasonable place for him to be is retirement. But as long as batman toys and movies are selling better than Nigtwing’s no one will pull the trigger. At least not permanently.

I also moved to Superman - unfortunately I’m taking a brake on US culture until the president is in the office. But I can’t wait to pick up where I left. Superman resonates so much more with me now.

I’m in a small minority that loved Superman revealing that he’s Clark Kent to the word. It’s consistent with his “truth” value, it opens to discussions ethics of having “all hearing” reporter who reports on things he’s part of… it created fresh type of conflicts. And I loved his son, as a Superman who ask himself “should I be doing more and what more even mean”… I loved the House of El and the Superman’s legacy…

You can disagree and it’s fine. The point is, we deserve stories that are more than retelling the same one over and over again.

We could have the metropolis that is normalized with heros who address modern problems that became “norm” to readers. I want to know

But they will not play the long game, when the short term profits are on the line. Status Quo strikes again.

That’s what I heard, but, again, it’s all confusing to me as well :)
