I decided to add two very large signs to our yard for Halloween. Like so. I’ll also have LED flashlights propped near them for visibility. There are .. other.. reasons this is relevant that I’ll show later.

@codinghorror As everyone knows, Superheroes extract energy from the aether/zero point, and expel again instantly in the form of whichever power they’ve been gifted. No energy is created or destroyed, just transmuted from one form into another, and it doesn’t burn any more calories than cognition.
Show threadJean Helou ⌨️Nov 2
@lo_fye @codinghorror just curious: how is that energy then extracted back to the aether/zero point? If it's not the earth system's total energy increases each time a sup uses it's powers that could accumulate quite fast with a rather bad outcome for earth

@codinghorror Batman's statement may be correct from an idealized perspective, but Robin's statement highlights that the contract which we all live under, justified or not, has been and continues to be violated.

@pinguino @codinghorror ideally, yes

Especially when easily preventable

Show threadpinguinoOct 30
@purple @codinghorror But impossible.
Show threadpurple's a fire marshal first aiderOct 30

@pinguino @codinghorror putting aside that the proposition was actually about preventing poverty not sadness, …an awful lot of sadness can be avoided actually.

Eliminating poverty would go a long way to doing that in fact.

Yes certainly, people will still die and that'll be sad, and sometimes things won't go your way and that may sting.

But the despair of being unable to provide for your children, the tragedy of life lost to poor nutrition, and so much more, they very much can be avoided.

Show threadpinguinoOct 30
@purple @codinghorror How do you avoid parents being unable to provide for their children? Or to be malnourished?
