The type of loss is important. The original version was Pa Kent dying from a heart attack or stroke or similar.
This teaches Clark the important lesson that despite all his power, there are people he cannot save. He decides to try anyway.
That scene teaches the exact opposite lesson. That having the power to save someone doesn’t mean you should.
Later in the movie Superman kills thousands of people in order to murder one guy.
My father watched the snowcaps melt off the mountains, and still supports the sort of people who want more drilling.
I make a nice bacon and lentils soup.
The simple version is bacon, onion, lemon juice, veggie stock, and lentils.
The complex version just adds more veggies, and maybe some whole cherry tomatoes thrown in a few minutes before the end. You then get little pops of tomato flavor.
Tomato soup is good, but have you heard the good news of creamy potato soup?
I judge people based on their choices and actions.
Some have chosen to embrace the hatred. And so I judge them for it.
At this point in my life, I’m not interested in attempting to redeem people who have chosen evil.
No. I’ve had several people admit to me that the hatred is the point.
Anyine who still supports this regime is supporting them because of the hatred.
Some people live in little self contained bubbles, and their language can change to reflect this truth much faster than you’d think.
Little bits of slang and terms that exist no where else.
Cults do it all the time with some degree of intent, but any subgroup will develop their own language.
Sadly they still are in some areas of the world.
Particularly the middle east.
I sketched it out, and might play with it more. Maybe try some painting, it’s been over 10 years since the last time I painted anything more than even coats.
I’m also of the copyleft mindframe, so if you want to play with the idea, have at it.
I use Atlas.
It’s sitting on my table.
So the compromise is they get cameras, and we get to hunt them for sport.
We’ve just not been holding up our end of things.
They tried that. Famously so. So now we pay a fuck load of money trying to get people to willingly stop, and on enforcement of traffic laws.
Which is why you can still buy your cancer sticks to feed your addiction, but not flavored. Because that’s a low hanging fruit. Just ban the cancer companies from flavoring their cancer sticks like candy. Make it obvious that they’re selling you your slow, painful death.
Maybe you’re lost in your addiction, but maybe someone else can use this to quit, and maybe a kid won’t start. It’s all still cheaper than the healthcare costs of tobacco.
I meant other chemicals in the tobacco.

And that’s the tip of the iceberg, there are chemical washes, pesticides, and other shit that’s just as bad.
It’s not just about protecting children, it’s about protecting everyone.
Nicotine is wildly addictive. Full stop. It and a host of other chemicals also cause a wide range of health issues that greatly strain the medical system, and put strains on healthcare budgets.
Since banning the product outright will likely not work, due to the aforementioned addictiveness, sensible countries have adopted a slightly different approach of making the cancer sticks as unappealing as possible, both to keep kids from starting and to help people already addicted quit.
The chapters I said to skip are the religious stuff.
The rest is mostly about AI and why we maybe shouldn’t.
Have you read his Encyclical?
There are many things that I disagree with the pope about, but it’s well reasoned and argued, you can mostly skip the first two chapters, but three through five are worth a read.
The guy who gives the blade a quick 120 grit sharpen with an angle grinder can even dress up like a dentist
Thick goo, it doesn’t spread easily.
Gasoline and styrofoam can be stabbed into and lifted, Toluene and styrofoam makes a liquid that can be poured or splashed.
But he first revealed himself to the military and got their approval, so it’s all okay.
You know, instead of being seen day in and out saving people from the everyday dangers of living in a city. Gaining a groundswell of acceptance as the elite “Lex Luthor” plot his destruction.
