Man, imagine seeing a field of fireflies IRL for the first time, if you had never heard of them before! That would be pretty mindblowing.

That's a strange take...

How many of these movies feature him getting captured and executed by the state? (None that I am aware of)

And how many feature him getting killed by members of the criminal life his character is involved in? (Most or all)

That's the entire point--other criminals generally don't care about the justice system or the value of life, so don't get involved with that shit.

I think it's a lot more malicious than a neglect of institutional knowledge.

The people are suffering economic anxiety, Trump points at as the cause of their economic woes, and builds popular support for some stupid land grab that trades the country's soft power for some quick corporate profits. By the time the long-term damage sets in, they are off to the next grift a few hundred billion dollars richer. Tale as old as time...

They know the damage they are causing--they just don't care.

American here. I'm choosing to believe that this is just a normal, everyday amount of poop-related slang for the UK, and that you're not playing it up for comedic effect.

I have to disagree a little bit personally. It can be a chore, but sometimes there is a sense that you're taking this generic piece of tech sold by the millions and tailoring it to your personal preferences. It's a little silly and superficial, but it can add a little extra enjoyment to that whole experience of getting a new shiny that you've been looking forward to.

All that said, paying $95 for the experience of setting up a used exercise bike is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Honestly the best solution, as with most traffic annoyances, is just to quietly curse at them as you go about your day and let the police deal with enforcing the laws.

When trying to teach someone a lesson, you might get the occasional person who was absent-mindedly being annoying, but most people are just going to come away from the interaction thinking YOU are the asshole. Not to mention the person who is being an asshole on purpose looking for confrontation...

I think it depends. Most people could already get away with a lot of immoral or antisocial behaviors without super powers, but most of us still don't.

The Boys is an interesting one because there are hundreds of supes out there, enough to have a community of depravity. If you were the only one with super powers and you decided to majorly abuse them, you'd be a social outcast, even if you didnt face strict punishment, which most of us would really not want.

According to google the town of Midwest, WY has 283 people, which is damn near half of the state's population. So add in a few more confused cowboys and that checks out.
