You say that like it’s a bad thing.

If I had the chance, I’d make Clark a sickly kid who was always having major problems. In my version, it would take a Kryptonian a long time to successfully adapt to Earth. It would be nice to see Clark going to school in a wheelchair, and then gaining his powers slowly as an adult. If and when we bring in Phantom Zone villains we can either say the Zone ‘empowered’ them, or give them a different set of superpowers.
And yes, I’ve spent way too long thinking about this. lol!

Grape minds drink alike?
I liked Smallville for showing Clark gradually learning how to be Superman. I, too, like the idea that he’s got no idea how powerful he can become.
Someone once wrote that the dream fight between Superman and the Hulk would be Hulk hitting Supes and Supes shrugs it off. Hulk gets mad and hits him so hard there’s an earthquake, but Superman still isn’t mussed. Now Hulk winds up and we see Supes flying past the Moon.

I was going to say ‘if you’re dumb enough’ but went with the bigger word instead.

You can do anything you want to, if you’re willing to accept the consequences.

Been salty about ‘Superman - The Motion Picture’ since I first saw it.
If he’s fast enough to time travel, why wasn’t he fast enough to stop the rocket in the first place?
- Comment on Pressure washer reality 4 days ago:
Anecdotal.
Guy brought a foreclosure house that was in pretty bad shape. The first thing he did was rent a pressure washer to clean it up. After working on his own place a neighbor came over and said he’d done a pretty good job. The neighbor asked how much he’d charge to clean his place? The first guy named a price a little higher than the rental fee. He ended up buying a washer nad making it his job.

The funny thing is that Trump gave the store away to his ghost writer. Tony Schwartz got full co-author credit and half the profits, an unheard of deal for a celeb book.
Schwartz has spent all the time since telling the world what a terrible person Trump was and is.

Still avoiding the question.
Grown adults make bad choices all the time. It’s part of life.
Any time I make a choice there’s a chance I’ll make an error.
How old is old enough?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
Are you sure?
If you have more details about the actual situation, lay them out.
I’m asking a general question. Is a 16 year old allowed to make major life choices?

At what age does she have the right to control her own choices?

I’m not talking about the male, I’m talking about the woman.
At what age does she have the right to control her own choices?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
If the 16 year old wanted to date another 16 year old people would say that it’s her choice.
But if she decides to date someone much older than her she must be crazy.

Don’t confront her directly.
Go to your supervisor, and make sure you document everything.
- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 1 week ago:
I want them to dump all the current mythology and go back to the basic concept; 500 humans and aliens on a ship designed for research and military purposes. No Vulcans, or Klingons. No six foot tall aliens with five fingers and funny ears. Aliens that look alien.
- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 1 week ago:
Look at the number of producers. Everyone wants to give their input, which is usually the exact opposite of someone else’s.
- Comment on What TV show were you highly excited for, but ended up quickly disappointing you? 1 week ago:
Try something completely different.
“Slow Horses” is about MI-5’s worst agents. Those who have screwed up in the field are sent to work on low priority garbage work until they retire or quit. Takes about one and a half episodes to hit its stride.
“Landman” is about a Texas oilman whose job is to manage everything from the drilling to getting the product to market. Billy Bob Thornton is a great anti-hero; divorced, alcoholic, in debt, and smarter than everyone else for all the good it does him.

I got to watch the movie 'Network" go from cutting edge satire to staid docudrama in real time.
- Comment on Netflix’s Sci-Fi Series '3 Body Problem' to Film Seasons 2 & 3 Back-To-Back 1 week ago:
By that logic, Robert DeNiro is head of the Mafia.
Heinlein also wrote ‘Stranger In a strange Land’ a book that was revered by the hippies, and one of the first stories to feature a transman. He wrote all kinds of stories about all kinds of wild ideas.
Was he perfect about everything? Hell no, but at the time he was writing a lot of African Americans thought that Malcom X was a dangerous radical.

I liked the books and I liked the show.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a fan, it’s to accept that no adaptation is going to be exactly my version of the work. Everyone notices different details.
I hated the movie ‘Starship Troopers’ because it eviscerated the book; now I have come to like it on its own terms.
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 1 week ago:
You’re only young once, but you can be immature forever.
imho the worst thing you can do is worry about what other people think of your antics [provided you aren’t actually hurting anyone else]

Truck driver is wrong for going out with an unsecured load. They were driving too fast. Even if it hadn’t been a car that got splattered wet concrete in the road would be a major hazard.

Which word?
“Stud?”
“My man?”
“Cuz?”

I don’t know, my man.

So, we’re no longer using ‘stud?’
- Comment on What TV series or seasons you've watched do you think needed a rewrite? Or any TV series taken a writing turn you didn't expect? 1 week ago:
“For All Mankind” [Apple+] has a worker on a Mars base smuggling Martian minerals home. The base is supposed to have KGB and FBI agents embedded in the work crews, plus the Mars stones are being sold openly on Earth. No way would that have happened like that.
- Comment on These Are the 381 Books Removed From the Naval Academy Library 1 week ago:
Apparently “Starship Troopers” is still on the list.
A book that says in the future the US Constitution is subservient to a global Federation.
Sounds pretty woke to me.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
If your asking, you probably already know the answer.
Maybe you could have said something like “A top player needs to know math, because they’ve got to do a lot of investing. they should have otehr languages, because they’ll be playing all over the world. Science and computers because…”
