  • Peacemaker was already great. Expand on that.

    If they did a Lantern Corps show with Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, he could be maybe flying around the 'verse in an old spaceship with a ragtag bunch of misfits. Maybe have cameos from the voices of Superman and Wonder Woman from the DC MMORPG, and the voice of Clayface from Harley Quinn, Lee Thompkins from Gotham, Dr. Bryce from Legends of Tomorrow, Isabel Rochev from Arrow, maybe the voice of Nightwing from Teen Titans Go just to round things out. Unfortunately the voice actor who played a news anchor on the classic Superman animated series passed away.

  • The thing is, I can relate a bit. I voted for Fetterman, and I have been extremely disappointed by his turnaround.

    The difference is, Fetterman is not doing what he said he would do. Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do.

  • I think businesses are already seeing the effect of a lack of similar action. Young people are going out much less, drinking much less, spending less, and as described in this article, dancing less. There are a ton of other reasons for that (income inequality, inflation, political stressors, health and safety concerns, etc) but social media has had a deleterious effect on the economics of social gatherings.

  • And don't forget, that guy experienced a shit ton of bullying before the hive mind decided that he was worth protecting. Most viral video sensations don't get that second part out of their 15 minutes of fame. They just get the bullying and shame.

  • When I was young, the phrase "dance like nobody's watching" became popular. I remember thinking it was true, most of my anxiety about dancing was a fear of being judged by someone else. I'd see other people dance and think that they aren't doing anything special. They aren't dancing well or doing crazy moves. They are just jumping around and having a good time. "Jump Around" was like just one of five hit dance songs about jumping. But I resisted because I thought people would think my dancing looked silly. And they'd be right, I was and remain a terrible dancer. I'm awkward, arthritic, and lacking in coordination and rhythm.

    But there was no social media. No cell phone cameras. No internet. If someone did get a picture or even a video, it might be months before a small select group of people saw it. Hell, even if your bad dancing somehow made the news, it would still only be seen by the regional viewers watching that evening.

    Today, if you're a bad dancer, you could be filmed without your knowledge or permission, and become a viral sensation for millions of people to see.

    If I were young today, there's no chance in hell I'd be out on the dance floor.

  • Bullshit. Governing is compromise, but politics is bullshit. I mean that in the literal sense. To get what you want politically, you have to push the overton window so that you can govern towards the middle. But the middle between reasonable and fascism is not a great place for governing anyone.
