Every vigilante who trained as robin has the hardwired instinct inside them to jump inside batman's cape whenever there's danger

Have they tried getting rid of it? Yeah. What has it led to? Them aggressively jerking to the direction Batman's in and ending up falling to the ground. Hard.

'People are panicking about AI tools the same way they did when the calculator was invented, stop worrying' cannot stress enough the calculator did not forcibly pervade every aspect of our lives, has such a low error rate it's a statistical anomaly when it does happen, isn't built on mass plagiarism, and does not obliterate the fucking environment when you use it. Be so fucking serious right now

I see your “He asked for no pickles” ship dynamic and I raise you “Oh they gave you pickles? I’ll take them”

feels relevant to my tastes

Me when the musical based on a famous greek tragedy becomes tragic

BREAKTHROUGH!!!! (they haven't slept in weeks)

ok but the way Odysseus falls into each of the main Olympian’s domains?

Zeus (God King): King of Ithaca

Hera (Goddess of Marriage): c’mon, Odysseus is THE Wife Guy

Athena: Warriors of the Mind/her chosen champion

Ares: courage and valor needed for success in war; additionally after his transition into The Monster, he becomes brutal and arguably lost in bloodlust when dealing with the sirens/suitors/POSEIDON

Apollo/Artemis: Archery

Aphrodite: man is motivated only by love

Hephaestus: Odysseus built his own damn raft to leave Ogygia/built his palace

Demeter (who also has domain over marriage): see Hera

Poseidon (Sea God): Sailor/Captain (also ruthlessness, eventually)

Hades: "600 men who died under your command"; sailed through the Underworld

Hestia (Goddess of the Hearth): Man who wants nothing more than to get home

Hermes (God of Travelers): man’s been traveling for 10 years; also Odysseus is his great grandson

not to mention their actual interactions

I'm just saying

GOD I want to enjoy the opening sequence of Arcane S1 but unfortunately I am an ex-dancer and managed to traumatically injure myself while dancing to that song and don’t particularly like dissociating bc of Imagine Dragons so what’re you gonna do
