  • Watched it a few days ago, honestly it wasn’t as bad as the box office would make you believe. Some thoughts:

    • the CGI was really quite bad for such a big budget movie
    • I’m a sucker for flashpoint type movies, which definitely made me more biased towards it
    • I’m starting to get really tired of multiverse cameo heavy movies like this (including across the spiderverse)
    • Kara wasn’t as compelling as I’d hoped
    • Ezra Miller is a garbage human being

    Overall I did enjoy it for the most part, it coukdbr been better but given DC’s track record this was actually in the top 25% of dc projects


  • Wow hard to imagine that after the deadliest war in human history at the time that people would be hesitant to kill others in peacetime.

    Also in countries without easy access to guns but with high levels of gun control and thriving black markets (like Mexico) they experience a fraction of school shootings compared to the us. That’s without even taking into account the sheer material differences between the two countries, with Mexico having a significantly higher poverty rate compared to the us.

    Not only is this a unpopular opinion, it’s also a fucking stupid one too.

    19 Countries with the Most School Shootings (total incidents Jan 2009-May 2018 - CNN):

    United States — 288 Mexico — 8

    Gun control in Mexico:

    Mexico has extremely restrictive laws regarding gun possession. There are only two stores in the entire country, DCAM near the capital, and OTCA, in Apodaca, Nuevo León. It also takes months of paperwork to have a chance at purchasing one legally.

















  • Even though the NACS plug is superior to CCS in terms of ergonomics, I feel like this side steps the issue here— the plug isn’t the problem, the charging infrastructure is. If NACS plus show up everywhere but are as reliable as EA, it will only make people question whether or not there’s ANY reliable charging infrastructure. Imagine: “I heard Tesla chargers are reliable, this charger has a Tesla plug but it can’t get it to charge! Oh well, guess the charging infra isn’t there yet.“
