John Oliver slams Democrats who think transgender people lost them the election
  • Yes, the same establishment democrats that fucked up this campaign. They literally can't admit that factors like economic policy or Gaza were huge causes, because their employers won't allow them, so they have to find another scapegoat.

  • New Superhero
  • I, as the doctor, didn't pick you. Your organs happen to be compatible with all five recipients. It's still random chance, you're just unlucky because your organs work best.

    So, we gonna chop you up, or not?

  • New Superhero
  • So philosophical debate on this topic is meaningless, because utilitarism is obviously correct?

    Please take off your clothes and lay down here, I have five patients in desperate need of organ transplants.

  • Christian Lindner: Das liberale Drehbuch für den Regierungssturz
  • So sind liberale Kapitalisten nunmal. Sie würden nicht nur ihre eigenen Mütter für ein bisschen Profit verkaufen, sondern auch das eigene Land an die Faschisten verschenken, nur damit die Linie ein wenig mehr nach oben geht.

  • hmmm
  • It would go to live leak with one crunch from a freaking leave, because horses are couches with an insatiable death wish. They'll use every opportunity to gallop towards the void, and they'll take as many of you with them as they can.

  • What your coffee preparation method says about you
  • Yes, I'm a Fedora user.

    And yes, I own the Fedora type coffee thingy.

    But I only use Fedora because of the great atomic variants, and I only own that thingy because I don't drink coffee, and it's a cheap way to still offer some to guests.

  • Why do capitalists support Trump when his policies will likely destroy the economy?
  • Why did many powerful and rich people support Brexit? Crises shake up existing ownership structures, e.g. people sell houses and companies for lower than usual to cover rising costs. If your investments are spread out globally, you'll be able to invest at these cheap low points, giving you a massive boost once the economy comes back.

    Just look at home ownership since the mortgage crisis - so much wealth was transferred up, and it happens again and again.

  • Favorite SCP based movie?
  • Man, the first season of Dirk Gently's was amazing. The second is fine, but a long ways away from the heights of the first. Bummer it never continued, though I seem to remember the show runner did some inappropriate things...

  • same as it ever was
  • I want a spinoff focusing on animals fucking with humans in ancient times, like paw prints in bricks or on documents. Must be a treasure trove of hilarious antics throughout the times

  • Tired from sleeping all day

    He's a little shithead, but we love him dearly.

    Cities Skylines 2: "Beach properties assets are all gone and my city is screwed. Thanks a lot."

    forum.paradoxplaza.com Beach properties assets are all gone and my city is screwed. Thanks a lot.

    Since the removal of the DLC, and the fact it's not already in the base game, all assets related to it now appear as grey boxes. Thanks again for that, as it was doubtlessly absolutely necessary to remove the DLC now and not when it's integrated...

    It doesn't stop. It just never stops.

    What is your favorite moment in Invincible (show/comics)? What made you go "this is something different"?

    Please use spoiler tags for comic spoilers (anything that hasn't been shown in the latest episodes of the show)!

    Hey all! I'd like to try starting a directed discussion, since participation in the episode discussions hasn't really happened yet (but it's slowly picking up on the sub, woohoo!). Depending on how things go I'll post more in the coming weeks :)

    What was the moment or thing that happened which made you go "This isn't like other superhero media"? I think we can all agree that Invincible feels very refreshing and has many interesting ideas. Is there something you really like? Or something that defines Invincible?

    Do the sacrifices of a godhand member influence their strength?

    I'm really interested in trying to get more information about Void, and one angle I haven't read much about is this: does the amount of people sacrificed, and their strength, influence the power of the resultant godhand member?

    There definitely seems to be some kind of correlation between sacrifices and power, since Slan states in chapter 82: "It's ironic though. The stronger his life force and the greater his anguish, the more they become precious bread for the new life of darkness". From this we can at least deduct that a strong sacrifice makes the new member stronger than a weak sacrifice.

    Now the question is: shouldn't this mean that Void is much, much more powerful than Griffith currently is? After all, he sacrificed not just a band of mercenaries (who have some very strong members, albeit only few due to the year before), but an entire kingdom. I do think the average sacrifice was much weaker for Void (as they were most likely not warriors, but intellectuals), though it's difficult to say since we know very little about his eclipse. But nonetheless I definitely think there is some correlation here.

    This of course leads to some interesting possibilities for what Griffith is currently up to. Is he planning to somehow ascend further by making another, much bigger sacrifice? Do the godhand members have a hierarchy which he is trying to climb (almost certainly)? Could he be trying to surpass the Idea of Evil itself?

    Do you think that the placement of the brand has a meaning?

    I'm re-reading the manga right now. During the Eclipse, we see the brand placed on a number of hawks, each in a different place (link to the panel):

    • Casca gets it on the left side of her chest, roughly over her heart

    • Guts, of course, has it on his neck

    • Judeau gets his on the palm of his left hand

    • Pippin has it on his forearm

    • Corkus gets his on his forehead (just like the bodies below the tower of rebirth)

    I can make an argument for each of them to have gotten it on whatever they most rely on, except for Guts, I can't make a concrete argument why it's his neck.

    But what I'm really interested in is this: can we learn anything about the bodies from Gaiserics kingdom from this? It might be that the population of his city wasn't made up of fighters and physical people at the time it was sacrificed, but of thinkers, or at least people who rely more on wit and cunning than on strength (positive or negative). This would make sense considering the technological and social advancements they seem to have made.

    What do you guys think?
