@Jusoon3 @Ada2987_art Oh, do these represent *everything*?

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@nonregemesse The show diverged from the comic source material so much so quickly that I'm not sure why people are still bringing it up for this kind of comparison. It's been clear from very early on that this was going to be it's own story loosely based on the original.

@sleepy_devo Because there's no problem within the US electoral system that they would actually solve.

For in person voter fraud to have a significant impact would require a large organized criminal conspiracy, at which point the IDs aren't the weakest link anymore.

@WB_Baskerville That's because the story was focused on a small set of characters within this world who were only loosely connected to the military rather than being a war journal.

@MuseZack They're entering light speed by going into hyperspace, a parallel dimension in which such travel is possible. They're not really accelerating much while within normal space.

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@Authw8 It has to make sense, but that sense is almost always defined by other stories rather than by reality.

It's rare for all of the truly mundane nitty gritty details of how things actually work to make their way into stories, even ones which are ostensibly "realistic".

@TheSeaKelpy @HMBohemond And yet it's something different nonetheless, and deliberately so. This isn't misunderstanding, it's purposeful reframing to make it his own.

No one cares about the direct to video sequel. It's existence is a footnote.

@Jamaldeen_moh He was going to run away while he was being broadcast to the entire country?

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@TheSeaKelpy @HMBohemond Yes, the entire purpose of the movie is to not be the book. It's hit a matter of but understanding, it was a matter of deliberately changing it.

@PsychtalesX @TheZodiacHeir One of the biggest missing parts of anti-drug-abuse messaging has always been the lack of demonstration of how process actually starts and just how good something has to be in order to be willing to destroy yourself with it.

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@PsychtalesX @TheZodiacHeir The end point doesn't have any meaning unless you can also see *why* anyone would get themselves into this situation in the first place.

Otherwise it would just be the same vague "drugs are bad" stuff that was getting made 30 years ago.

@medjedowo If there were no relationship between improved opportunity and improved outcome then there wouldn't be any point in trying to do the former at all.

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@TheSeaKelpy @HMBohemond So just up front, you're aware that this isn't just a movie depicting a society with state propaganda but that the movie itself is meant to be state propaganda that's presented to people within that world, right?

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@Captain_Fubar Mostly it was just about economic conditions feeling terrible for most people, and then afterwards lots of people trying to put their own spin on the end result for their pet beliefs to give them lots importance than they actually had.

A repeat of 2008 in this way.

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@TheSeaKelpy @HMBohemond Yes, and? Does this somehow mean he wasn't subject to state propaganda?

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@JBellSATX @stoolpresidente In the playoffs he might be

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@ecto_con @HMBohemond Why is it that you think this is a counterpoint to what I said?

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@CharlesFLehman What I never understood is that we're supposed to be aiming for equality of opportunity, but somehow college got seen as a representation of outcome or reward rather than as a representation of opportunity.

A job is an outcome or reward, school is the means to that end.

[Rob Not @TheNot]

@AbaiGiven84044 Yes, they were desperate and got lucky.

If Homelander didn't choke or his dad for not believing he was a god then the Boys would have had to deal with both of them.

The whole point is the irony of Homelander defeating himself.
