The hypothesis falls apart when the author ties the real world problems of poverty, injustice and ecological disasters to the superheroes negligence.
-
The premises of the movies are that they are grounded in the real world. As such if superheroes transformed the world it would no longer be a recognizable setting for movie audiences.
-
2 hours of showing Iron Man digging wells in Africa isn't entertaining.

The ability of an individual, even if superpowered, to change society is extremely limited. We have the example of Bill Gates having spent decades and tens of billions just to irradicate a single disease. What is Captain America going to do to control health care costs? Beat cancer cells in a petri dish?
Can you name one superhero movie that follows the plot of the OP comic?
The closest I can think of is Thanos killing half the people in the universe and the heroes trying to stop him. You're on Thanos's side?
It all started on board the cruise ship TS Bremen where I, Uwe Ludwig Horn was a waiter and assisted my friend Siegfried with his magic show.
That makes as much sense as The Matrix using people for energy. You can't feed people to keep them alive and get more energy out than just digesting (or in the Matrix burning) that food for energy.
You are costing them money to provide servers and bandwidth for free. They don't (as of yet) have 3rd party ads giving them any revenue from users that don't buy anything. More freeloading users doesn't help IPO because they already IPO'd.
The idea that more freeloading users is a good thing is an absurd idea from the 2000 dotcom crash. I once had a potential customer call me and tried to negotiate for free web hosting under the premise that they would increase hits to my website. I laughed at them saying, "You don't understand how any of this works. I have to buy servers for thousands of dollars. I have to pay tens of thousands a month for upstream bandwidth because I wasn't a Tier 1 ISP. Driving traffic to my site costs me more money."
I'm unfamiliar with Mac programming but that looks normal. Do those function calls become absurdly long when used?
Here's one I found on Google from the jdk:
InternalFrameInternalFrameTitlePaneInternalFrameTitlePaneMaximizeButtonPainter
Yes that's not a typo, internalframe is repeated.
It's free. If you never buy a hat, you are actively hurting them.
It's java. Extremely drawn out method names is it's calling card.
Yes. You were unlucky to have stupid friends.
Also, cookies are not cakes
Next you'll claim a hot dog isn't a taco.
This was actually the subject of litigation in the UK:
The link says that the Jaffa Cake which looks like a cookie got to keep its cake classification for tax purposes.
I'm an idiot. I didn't click the thumbnail. I had that router but the thumbnail only showed the antenna with cross brace which I've never seen before.
What is it?
You will wake up to Trump just like in 2016.
Even if you are in a Blue State, the US needs to overwhelmingly reject Trump both in electoral and popular vote.
Otherwise a Trump replacement will pop up in 4 years.
No. I usually browse all.
Where are people seeing this hexbear and lemmygrad content? I use the Thunder client with a lemmy.world account. I don't have those instances blocked but never see anything from them. Is it because I created my account on lemmy.world?
Did someone say Space Esperanto?
It's called engineering level math because engineers, physicists, and math majors are required to take Calculus.
Yes I took calculus in high school but it's not required. No I don't remember much of any of it because it was decades ago.
You also learned all the countries/capitals in Africa when you were in middle school. But I bet you can't name them now without Google. Same thing.
Do you hate Girl Scout thin mint cookies too? Because those are tiny mint flavored cakes.
My son loved mint chocolate ice cream and thin mints and wanted mint cake for his birthday. Imagine a a giant 3layer thin mint that was soft instead of crunchy.

Don't know how old this is but it was new for me today!
I replied to a post in a thread (about how my 15 year old burned DVDs were going bad and what I was doing to remedy it). The thread is still there but my post is gone. It wasn't an argument. It was a reply to someone asking for data backup options.
Some auto generated explanation from Lemmy would be nice like : post deleted by owner. Or posted deleted by moderator.
