Watched this with my kids this weekend. Couldn't believe I hadn't shown it to them before. They absolutely loved it and I was nostalgic remembering how obsessed I was with flying like Superman when I was an eight year old.
We’ve been doing the “edgy antihero” thing for decades.
The hunger in culture right now isn’t for more of that.
It’s for this kind of wholesome sincerity— the kind we were brainwashed to believe was “cringe.”
We’re ready for heroes to actually be heroes again.
@nealjclark1 I've considered becoming a builder but codes are discouraging. Thought about building with cheap windows, getting the final inspection and then replacing the garbage windows with single pane wood windows. Reusing the plastic ones each new build and replacing them post inspection
@elonmusk@Dan16676935420 Elon the important thing is that this site lets us break free of "consensus traps" that make reddit conversations so awful and dull compared to here.

@scratchyjohnson We have a high efficiency tankless (natural gas + a natural gas dryer) summer gas bill is under $50 for family of 6. Water bill is $200+ though, because we pay for sewer in blood in Birmingham 😂. Might have to switch.
@VaubanBooks@loganclarkhall@avaricum777 Yes, I couldn't find the new translation available when I ordered and too late realized my mistake on eBay. I will look at ordering your new translation too. I enjoyed the book very much.
@ravenousreader In web app type is:unread in the search bar, and press Enter. Click the "select all" checkbox at the top of the list, then click the blue text that appears saying "Select all conversations that match this search" to select every unread email. Finally, click the trash can icon.
@jmj@DisgracedProp Went to big box store to buy brass coat hooks, got home only to realize they were brass plated. Looked closer, label said the were 'gold colored' . Returned them and went to competitor. Not labeled as such, but we're also plated zinc. Ordered from Etsy. Hopefully they are real.
@nealjclark1 I bought a 1994 Jeep Cherokee with 130k miles three years ago. Paid too much at $4k but been driving it every day. Put 30k miles on and it's running like a champ
@romanhelmetguy A race to show who can consume the most energy to plagiarise plagiarism. Or, who can fill the internet with the most fake bs at the most cost (to we who ultimately foot the bill to build the capacity to power data centers and all the megawatts wasted creating hallucinations)
One could make the case the Bible needs an amendment to add another unforgivable sin. Really? Who could in good conscience could recommend such an abominable act and call it health care no less? Talk about an inversion.
yep—once we decide on the basis of autonomy and choice that someone has a right to die there can be no coherent way to contain it —even “mature minors” will be “eligible” (without parents consent because….autonomy)
