What’s the point in whining for wars that european states waged a thousand years ago?

…this is a history sub

Nothing better than larping as a feudal lord

May be few and far between but I can vouch for it; I had a party like that whom I hated DMing or playing with in their games. Myself though I am as you said someone who prefers the challenge; both exist in large numbers.

I hope that despite Iran demanding this pledge that they’re not actually stupid enough to think the government will abide by it.

Oh look, no men’s rights activists to be found anywhere

That is indeed a photograph of something someone has done

Well maybe if the router would behave itself it wouldn’t find itself in a cage

What, are there tunnels in the water now?

the matrix where the beta version was a utopia that humans rejected

Gonna be honest I genuinely always thought this was nonsense; like looking at what the USSR had to offer and being like ‘nah, unrealistic’, and to make it fail they had to kill millions of people in anti-communist wars and waste billions of dollars that could’ve gone to making people’s live much better, all because the wealthiest wanted to be even wealthier.

Too much effort and key presses; just move your face closer to the screen

Personally I was a bigger fan of Spoony but he basically disappeared

I’ve seen memes mocking dead Palestinian children and their mourning parents; twitter was never great but it’s certainly never been this bad

You joke but if the leftists win the needy might be fed and housed; is that a risk you’re willing to take?

I recognize that Superman had better politics ages ago but as of the last 20-30 years (more so the last 20 I would imagine because of the so called ‘war on terror’), has he had good politics or just lib politics? I always got the impression even the DC universe got crafted to support US foreign policy (with nations like Qurac and Bialya which date back to the 80’s). One of the few ways I can see the comics avoiding having Superman allow the military to commit war crimes is to just basically pretend the military aren’t akin to the real world criminals or simply not talk about their actions at all (except with injustice for example where they talk about the military attempting a drone strike and superman stopping it, which would tell me the regular DC-verse superman allows them to occur). Ultimately with the government’s behavior, the DC-verse would have to either pretend it’s all not happening or that the military and the politicians in question are cleaner than they really are (so basically a lib portrayal of reality).

The movie however definitely sounds interesting from what you’ve said, and I can see why the Israeli subreddit is upset with it.

Best part of that image: seeing she passed away in the 70’s, so NOT murdered by nazi thugs

Honestly if we’re going to be ready for the 2026 world cup we’re going to have to open a LOT of new prisons

I recall a funny thing I read on twitter a while back; someone was saying their DM sprung a story on them and over time got frustrated with the players only to cancel the game because he got upset with the players’ choices. He’d apparently intended on telling a fantasy version of the birth of Israel and thought the players would side with the zionists. I recall another story that this retelling got someone to share but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was unfortunately.

Also ironically Superman would most likely side with Israel in the DC universe; Superman is little more than a shill for the US government and alternate retellings of the DC universe seem to indicate his leanings. During the injustice storyline Superman ‘fixes’ the Israel-Palestine ‘conflict’ by telling them that if they didn’t fix their issues that he’d fix it himself as if the problem is an arbitrary one that just needs both sides to come to the table (enlightened centrism strikes again). In that same storyline he also stops a drone sent by the US military from killing five civilians (it was sent because there was one target in the area; painfully the movie ups the civilian count to 30 because the average person today is so monstrously brain broken that five civilians isn’t considered unacceptable, but 30 might), which means the same crimes happening in the real world are happening in the DC universe and Superman lets it happen. Additionally at one point wonder woman finally takes the gloves off and helps refugees in (Sudan?) kill their oppressors and…okay, fantastic, now go to a country we’re at war with and do the same (for heck’s sake you’re not even American, why should you value US military and be fine with overlooking their crimes?). In a different alternate universe story that takes place further into the future, the government tells superheroes that either they become government employees or they retire, and Superman immediately sides with the US government and enforces their will (literally cutting off green arrow’s arm because he refused to bend to the government’s will).

I haven’t watched this movie but it’s easy to expect Superman to be little more than an extension of the government’s will; if Superman was real he’d be in Gaza murdering Hamas soldiers and just being very, very concerned about war crimes he sees taking place without actually realizing what the heck is going on or actually realizing he’s fighting for the wrong side. I remember reading the plot of the new movie that says Superman fights for truth, justice and the HUMAN way, where originally it’s truth, justice and the AMERICAN way (which like…pick one: either truth and justice, or the American way). Superman may originally have started out as pro-worker, but he’s been shifted to be little more than an enforcer of US foreign policy.
