Fictional characters are only as smart as their authors and any constraints placed on said authors by their publisher and the like. Hence why despite the abundance of intellect in comic book universes, universal basic income and healthcare don’t exist, while crime and cancer still do.

edit: Fun story- One arc in Marvel a bunch of heroes and villains get magic moral reversals. One is Tony Stark. He sets up nanobots in San Fran to give people the bodies they’ve always wanted, then charges them a hundred bucks a day to keep it. The implication there is he could have done this for free or super cheap at any given time and just… didn’t.

Beyond that… Imagine being a trans person and just being completely changed over or no longer being paralysed or growing back a lost eye or whatever. Bruh I’d be fist fighting Spidey to keep paying.

Anyhow they resolved it by like, blowing the planet up or something stupid like that. Comic books lol

He could become an Honorary Aryan under a “useful idiot” kind of deal, though really I think he’d probably be treated like the other African folks owing to the bipolar. He claims he was misdiagnosed bipolar, and instead has autism but in this hypothetical that wouldn’t really help.

“Why go down the street when I can go down the hall right?”

Was that the same idealism that led to the jailbait and creepshot subreddits being allowed to flourish? Or Covid misinfo? Deepfakes? The chimpire? Qanon? All that stuff definitely wasn’t operating clandestinely.

He was trying desperately to be R poster boy when he was Indiana governor to the point where the Indiana GOP told him to calm the fuck down. He wouldn’t have been as bad as Trump was but he still would have been awful.

Amazing how all these opinions come out when he no longer has any power to act on them.

“Old man yells at cloud” isn’t the issue, “Old man can order airstrike on cloud” is.

On somethingawful back in the day if you were on any one page on their forums for more then about 20 minutes, a audio clip would play that said something like “HEY EVERYBODY I’M LOOKING AT GAY PORNO”

It’s not impossible, but it is a far more difficult thing then they want to deal with to have an AI that consistently toes the conservative line, especially when that line can change wildly even in the span of a conversation. Egg prices are too high under Biden but we can’t expect a president to magic them down under Trump. We should be able to have vouchers for religious schools but wait why are the muslims allowed to go to their madrasas? Of course I’d never work in a factory or buy overpriced American products but we should bring back production to the United States. The list goes on.

I have 170 games in my backlog and the summer sale is coming. I ain’t spending 80 bucks on one video game.

Stacy’s mom had it going on in the early 2000’s IIRC so not like the DILF and MILF thing hasn’t existed for a while. Though obviously it wasn’t a school promoting that.

Two republicans voted no. Every Dem who voted, voted yes.

We may not be able to say they stopped it, but I think it’s reasonable to want them to try to.

On one hand, great! On the other, wonder if this is in response to justice democrats targeting him.

I remember reading that immigration groups called Obama the deporter in chief. Trump wishes he could get a nickname that would go that hard with his base.

Imagine trying to play the anti-semite card against an actual jew

Presidential pardon power only hits federal crimes, not state.

The magical 100 mile “Nah constitution don’t really work here” zone that also, crazily enough, includes 2/3 of the population.

Korean shounen stuff can be solid, like Solo levelling, The Breaker, God of High School, or Omniscient Reader, but outside of that it gets a bit more iffy.

IMO the real trash market is China. Every manhua I’ve read from just feels forgettable and soulless.
