Punishing her now is pretty stupid though. Every teen says something stupid, and should have been punished back then. As they grow up and change over the years and doesnt do that anymore, why the fuck waste time and effort to punish her now?

I wouldn't punish her, but it's not my decision. Nor is it yours. Your argument is people shouldn't be mad at her because she grew up, and I'm like "that's not how it works". Because really at the end of the day, that's what it is. She's not being punished officially, she's getting backlash because she did something dumb.

It actually costs no time whatsoever. Taking her in is what causes the headache because she brings heat.

So you dont believe in rehabilitation for people in prison either? Anyone who commits a crime should just be executed cause they cant change and will always be a murderer/rapist/whatever?

You're the worst kind of person.

Your strawman falls on deaf ears.

If you wrong me, I don't have to forgive you ever. He has no responsibility to not release her bad behavior. Your dues to the government are your own. If you then run for a position of power, and I post that you did something bad to me 6 years ago, that's my right. The fact that you're a better person now is irrelevant. If people look at you differently now, that's between them and you, specifically because I didn't MAKE you do the bad thing.

I've done shitty things to people in my life, and some of them still hate me. If they wanted to they could reveal that I did it to them, and at least some fraction of my friends would hate my guts. But it's not their fault for revealing it, it's MY fault for doing it. Their reason for doing it only matters in the sense of what kind of person they are. But people are shifting the blame from her for saying something stupid to the person revealing it, because the consequences are felt by her. This ignores the fact that she contributed to a culture that hurt the black kid throughout high school.

Lets say he did it because he wanted to hook up with her and she turned him down. One of the worst case scenarios. That would make him a bad person, but it would still be her fault because she's still suffering because of an action she did herself with no prompting.

Some people pay for the mistakes they make. Some people pay more than others, because of circumstance, or just bad luck. She'll pull through.

I don't necessarily blame her or WANT her punished, but I also wasn't in a school where the n-word was used regularly.

Why SHOULD he care that she's a better person now? That's the thing with people, they think because they change their ways they are entitled to forgiveness. You're not. The damage you caused can be permanent and scarring, you only get to move on if everyone lets you.

At the end of the day, her problem was caused by her and the school. All he did was release something she actually said. If this was addressed earlier, maybe we wouldn't be in this situation. She said the word. She suffered the consequences.

If this makes her a worse person in the future, then she's actually dumb as bricks.

My general stance if I can stop you from hitting me without hitting you back, I will. If I have the physical strength to take a hit from someone and not get floored, they're probably not a huge threat to me, so there are many ways I can stop them from hitting me without inflicting bodily harm on them.

Because DC has the main characters are Gods problem. Thus if you look at it from an outsider, most of the Justice League have very similar power sets. The best part about DC is not the powers it's the very human side of each of the characters, but you have to actually get INTO DC to experience it. Furthermore, Marvel's ability sets tend to be more interesting for a lot of their characters because they're often themed. Superman's powers are literally just a hodge podge of powers, like some child made an original character.

45 thousand votes over three states. just over half the margin of 2016.

Are you not counting Michigan or Pennsylvania?

Certainly if you get to pick where and when you get to votes, you can interpret it as close, but the reality is that's generally not how elections work. Trump didn't only lose those states, he lost other states by a much larger margin. Meaning if he won ONE of those states, nothing changed.

Think of it like a Finals Series 4-2. You might be able to redistribute the points of the loser to say "well they only scored 10 less points over 2 games", but they also got blown out of 2 other games and narrowly won the games they won. It's not a close series. It's not a blowout, but it isn't close either.

No, shutting the economy down did. Who shut it down? The goverment. Who are you asking for help now? Oh, right the goverment.

It's like a never ending feedback loop of you people asking the goverment for help, only for them to screw things up again, and then the people asking said goverment for help again becuase of said screw up.

Another bad take.

The government did not shut down the economy. Even in places where the pandemic isn't taken particularly seriously numbers are down because people's behavior still changed as a result of the pandemic. Therein lies the problem, the economy is screwed either way. The only thing you can control is how many ICU beds get filled and how many graves you need to fill.

The thing about Comedy is a lot of it is "I agree" or "I disagree".

A lot of Bill's fans like him because they agree with his jokes, even if Bill himself does not take it to the extremes they would. Bill Burr's humor effectively relies on you thinking he has a point, even if you don't completely agree. The irony of this is that everyone who makes fun of people who don't like Bill Burr's humor because they find it offensive like Bill Burr's' humor because they think it's' kind of true.

I personally think he's great and he's one of my bigger inspirations in comedy, but I understand why some people wouldn't like him. He has a very nuanced take on things that you sort of have to understand a lot about him to understand where he's coming from.

Also, as a side note. Bill Burr would be the first person to tell you that his humor isn't for everyone. That's quite literally the point. If it didn't offend some people, then he would be a milquetoast comedian or a positive comedian. He doesn't need people who don't love his humor to love his humor, he just needs enough people to love it for him to keep doing what he's doing.

People keep saying that, but I don't think it's true.

Did they put in a good number of references to the movies so that way people unfamiliar with the comics could feel in on it. Absolutely. But the biggest piece of evidence that they were not trying to milk the MCU 100% is that they DIDN'T use the likeness of the characters to a T. People keep saying that they're stunt doubles, but short of them taking a hard left with designs and making every Avenger literally unrecognizable to even the comics, that would always be true, because the MCU both took influences from and heavily influenced the comics.

Thor acts nothing like Chris Hemsworth's Thor, and Cap is not a quipper. Tony is less of an asshole and more of a dork.

They diverged on quite a few things from the MCU, which shows that they weren't going for MCU likeness which is just as well, because I'd like these characters to exist longer than whatever their most popular actor's contract does.

I like the game. The gameplay loop itself is fun, variety of course is an issue. The game clearly has a lot put into it, although not nearly as polished as it could be. I'm not in any really hurry for it to get to where it needs to be. I honestly have other games to play. I maxed out 1 of my heroes and so I casually play for a bit every day, then I do something else. Complaints are valid of course, but I've always been kind of shocked at how seriously gamers take these things. Maybe it's because I don't game as much and I'm only gaming as much as I am because I have nothing better to do.

The point is that if you speak to people aggressively, they are less likely to listen to you in the first place. Furthermore, yes, if people get defensive, they tend to dig their heels in.

If your goal is changing minds, then you shouldn't speak aggressively (most of the time). The issue is that most people here aren't trying to change people's minds, they're here because they have nothing better to do.
