  • I guess my point is: By the time we’d be able to travel that far, we’d have the ability to make all such observations without showing up on the planet.

    Though on the other side of the coin, if interstellar travel were so ubiquitous, who’s to say all aliens would behave in such hands-off ways? Maybe any aliens that would visit Earth would be the equivalent to rednecks driving out in to the woods to shoot squirrels. Or in a more innocuous analogy, bird watching without binoculars.


  • You seem to have a more nuanced take than the icon guide provides room for. No one in their right mind is going to complain about having legitimate safe spaces to grow, but it is by very definition segregation to grow public communities with engrained exclusion.




  • Yea, it’s a big reason I don’t display much. I tend to like the bad examples as warnings or otherwise weird/niche stuff in general, and I don’t like to peacock much anyways. So putting up something I’d have to explain is just not happening.

    I just dislike very much people who jump to conclusions, at least in more nuanced cases than the OP comic, like your examples of the kissing lesbians and Clockwork Orange.


  • Yea, the Heath Ledger joker is better, though that’s a damn high bar. I just wish the sequel would’ve properly developed the new Joker, because they could’ve made it glaringly obvious how idolizing or immitating him in any way is a bad, dumb idea. Instead they made the lamest movie of 2024.
