thoughts on best boy The Spot?

SUCH A GOOD VILLAIN.

When he’s a lighthearted probably-just-a-villain-of-the-week, he’s hilarious. I particularly loved him begging the store owner not to fight him off with a bat because this is his first robbery, please don’t make this a bad experience for him. He’s never done this before! It’s like he’s apologetic for the robbery being so inefficient, not the crime itself. His insistence that he’s Miles’s Nemesis instantly reminded me of The Panda Redd’s Lord Death Man videos. Him innocently saying “Oh, I love chai tea!” after Pavitr’s rant and Pav screaming “No!” and attacking him cracked me up. Despite his supervillain nemesis dreams, he’s so… polite and affable. Almost Doofenschmirtz-esque at times. Tell me Doof wouldn’t apologize in the exact same way for the “I came to India on a journey of self-discovery” faux pas.

I love that he’s the bagel guy. I treasure that moment with its bagel sound effect and I’m so glad they brought it back. He would cry so hard watching Everything Everywhere All at Once.

But the fact that he’s intertwined with Miles’s origin story and each of their superpowered conditions are unintended consequences of the other’s actions is highly relevant to the narrative, where the rippling consequences of your actions are a major theme. It’s kind of a fundamental Spider-Man thing, after all. It’s genuinely unsettling when he begs/demands Miles to look at him, really see him, and take him seriously. Even if he then literally kicks his own butt. It hits a lot harder after we see how isolating and distressing being an anomaly is to Miles himself. You can understand why Spot would obsess over their connection. Him starting out laughable and growing to be epic is an echo of Miles’s development in the first film - complete with a mostly black appearance upgrade when he gets the hang of it.

The tone blending is so masterful with him because he is also, somehow so scary. When he stops acting silly and friendly, it’s chilling. His powers are terrifyingly effective and dangerous and it seems like he hasn’t even fully unlocked their potential by the end of the movie. His appearance is silly (“Are you some sort of Cow Man?”) until it’s not; until it sinks in that he is a reality-rending cosmic abomination full of resentment, pain and spite, and his lack of a face or even eyes makes him feel more disturbingly eldritch than cartoonish. I cannot wait to see what he’s capable of in Beyond, and I hope the beautiful imagery puts Lovecraft to shame.

#you know how the human brain is programmed to identify and identify with faces? #how we see eyes in literally any two shapes next to each other? #they could have given spot two holes on his face (not even level!) or a smaller eye-sized hole #but they didn’t #to deny him even that most basic human connection #i love that! #but also #he really was just naked the whole time #sir. SIR. put some clothes on #forget the robbery you’re charged with public indecency #atsv #atsv spoilers #spider-man atsv #the spot #atsv spot #atsv the spot

@love-killed-the-superstar Following our recent discussions, I just need to point out again that Shredder burned down April's whole ass shop in the first season of 2k3, and after she rebuilt it identically, brick by brick, he is STILL like Hm. I wonder where I may be able to find my enemies now. Such a mystery. Alas.

Meanwhile, Karai is like "I need to deliver a threat to Leonardo. I'll just leave it with April" and breezes into the shop pretty as you please.

#the foot mystics were apparently under Shredder's control for literal CENTURIES #he just never did anything with them except guard his private elevator i guess #meanwhile Karai is in charge of their amulet for all of three episodes before she is like yo. #How about you psychically flush out the turtles and also tell me where they live. #AND THEY DO. #This isn't even me going into Shredder sending STOCKMAN IN A WHEELCHAIR to check out the burnt down shop like #there was POLICE OUTSIDE when it blew up. If they had found seven burnt corpses in the wreckage don't you think it'd have made the paper. #but noooo. send your henchman in a wheelchair accompanied by ILLEGAL BANK ROBBERY ROBOTS to check out the rubble instead. #the shredder is so comically incompetent. #my wife and I often joke how freaking efficient the foot in Japan must be in comparison. #Foot Clan Japan: A legion of hyper skilled warriors operating in the shadows led by a mega competent operative with larger picture thinking #Foot Clan New York: We put our symbol on a skyscraper. Also if you're good enough at stealing car radios we will promote you to ninja. #Still 99% convinced the reason Karai doesn't get anything impressive done until the Shredder is gone is because she is too busy #cleaning up all his PR nightmares while he's still alive

Why can people get away with horrendously overcharging older games

I don’t care how popular a game was, there is no reason a game that came out over a decade ago should cost more than twice as much now, and it especially shouldn’t be more than games coming out right now.

#i forgot that another reason why i dont play pokemon aside from my personal qualms with the gameplay itself #is that i cant fucking find a copy of black that isnt a bazillion dollars #i bought black2 without realizing that it was a ‘fake’ copy #the game works fine but i cant transfer my pokes to bank #which is important to me cause if im gonna play pokemon games then i want my babies in home at some point #i dont wanna just leave them in the game itself and never see them again #so i need a legit copy of black so i can transfer my pokes there then from there to bank and from bank to home #(specifically want black so i can get reshiram since i got zekrom in black2) #but as i was saying i cant fucking find a legit copy of black #people on ebay want close to $80 for it and theres no fucking way im paying that much for a game that came out in like 2010 #pokemon games coming out right now are $60 and thats already a lot #the pokemon games for 3ds were like $30 or $40 i think #theres just no way im paying $80 for a game that old #not pokemon but i had this same issue trying to get ttyd too #thank god its getting remade this year cause otherwise i never wouldve gotten it #people are charging like $50 or more FOR THE CASE ALONE #not the game. THE FUCKING CASE #i do not give a shit how popular or amazing or ‘ahead of its time’ a game is #that is just fucking robbery #i am so filled with visceral rage right now i can barely express it #the ‘you had to be there’ culture surrounding gaming is sooo frustrating i cant express it #its just soooo hostile to new players and im losing my mind #king sad sack

That stylist that charged that little 6 year old girl $700 to do her hair is going to hell-

#mannn sm black stylists are delusional if I’m being honest #‘it’s just a lot of hair to work with-‘ you’re not a professional put away the tools #most of these stylists will try to charge you $300 just to wash/dry your hair when that should already be part of the styling process #sm of them try to get over man #I hate that they do that to other black ppl just because they know that they can get away with it #rambling #nbs don’t touch #please #this is ridiculous man I feel so bad for that child and idk what the mom was thinking paying that much #most of these ppl aren’t even licensed and treat being a stylist like your typical 9 to 5 #and overcharge like hell #it’s highway robbery #the racists unfortunately found that tweet and are calling the little girl blackie so 🚶🏾‍♀️ #‘if the blackies want to have straight hair like ours-‘ bullshit what else is new #I hate wp sm bro

Criminal law professor: Someone can be charged with felony murder if a death occurs during the perpetration of a felony. So if you are robbing a store with an accomplice, and on the way back to the car they trip on the sidewalk and crack their head open, you can be charged for their death.

Me: How do we know when a felony ends? How far do they have to get from the store before it no longer counts as "during the felony"?

Professor: That's a great question :)

Me:

Professor :)

Me: ...thank you...?

#i promise i'm not the guy who constantly asks 'but what if???!!' during class #but the class was extra quiet for some reason #also he responded that way because....that's what lawyers are supposed to be figuring out #the prosecution would say that the defendant can be charged because leaving the store is part of the crime #and the defense would say that the robbery was the crime and the clock stops once they leave the store #law is an onion you can't stop peeling

Nobody is competing with steam, if you genuinely believe them to be a monopoly and not a market leader, because everyone else chose not to compete with Steam's Pro-Consumer attitude, you need to actually put some effort into showing how other companies are pro-consumer (none) to Steam.

And the utter fact is they're working on Proton, which is breaking up the actual biggest monopoly in PC gaming, Windows. Which Epic Games doesn't support Linux, because they hate Steam/Valve and thus will harm you the consumer in their wake.

Epic Games is purely Pro-Company first, Anti-Consumer second. There's no arguing that and anyone saying otherwise is actually a shill. Actually. They hire people to talk good about their products, and they're not good at it (very little to say that doesn't get bulldozed by reality) nor hiding it.

#pro-consumer #steam #valve #epic games #Just look how they treated competitive players #and people like you when they got sued by the FTC into paying 245$ million to people who they charged illegally and then banned the account #of for reversing their robbery charges #look at how Unity games can be ported to Unreal and ask why Epic would want this #when they're also aiming for a monopoly on the PC platform #buying Soundcloud and other media stations #guys seriously just look into them #nothing good comes from someone who wants NFT video games

I think it's really stupid that someone can type like 6 words into an AI art generator and they're allowed to sell whatever comes out for real money. you didn't fucking make that

#meanwhile people are spending hours or even days drawing things by hand #and they get called out for copying/stealing styles/poses #or they have to beg people to at least look at their art bc nobody is buying #or it's considered highway robbery if they charge more than $20 for a headshot #but sure let these people charge seven bucks for something a computer did entirely for them in 2 minutes #seems fair

it's been a few months since Catch Me In Miami ended and I can't stop thinking about how they gave us two practically identical endings in which everything was magically fixed.

#I mean #I wasn't expecting too much realism with the whole time travel thing but- #kill Stella and have the FBI drop the charges just like that when Miguel has been involved in multiple robberies #I know (I hope) that the intention of ending the story so quickly was because they knew what was coming with d*rian #and that perhaps once everything had happened #they would not be able to give an ending to the stories they had already started. #but still 💀 #this is almost the only thing I've been thinking about for the past month #and it upsets me to no end cause god knows i love miguel #and he had so much potential #anyways #fictif #miguel bravo #catch me in miami

#i've definitely had them deduct the cost from my refund before and it Did Not charge me to do so #and for the fee to take it out of my refund to be EVEN MORE than the fee to file itself??? hell no #fucking highway robbery #rae.txt

"Variety of Cases at Police Court Here This Week," Porcupine Advance (Timmins). August 26, 1943. Section 1, Page 2. ---- Charges Range from the Serious to Dogs at Large. ---- Variety was the keynote of the cases at the police court session here on Tuesday. There were serious cases such as the carnal knowledge of a little girl, and the robbery with violence charge against two young men who had been befriended by the man they afterwards robbed. Reference is made to these cases elswhere in this issue.

There were routine cases like three men being charged with allowing their dogs to run at large; one of these being withdrawn and the other two paying fines of $1.00 and costs each.

Then there was one case of an ordinary everyday drunk who paid $10.00 and costs. A second offence drunk paid $50.00 and costs; while a regular customer (three times within the year) was given a term of three months for imbibing not wisely but too well.

Traffic cases themselves ranged from the less to the more serious. A motorist who had a busticated muffler on his car was fined $5.00 and costs for the unnecessary noise made. A speeding case paid $10.00 and costs. Two careless driving counts meant a $10.00 fine and costs for each. No operator's license cost $10.00 and costs. Defective brakes meant an assessment of $10. and costs.

For a variety, a gentleman paid $10.00 and costs for having wine in other than his private residence.

A gentleman who cursed and swore right roundly on the street paid $10.00 and costs for his bad manners and his worse language.

One careless driving case took up much of the time of the court, but resulted in the case being dismissed. A car pulling out from the curb collided with an army truck that was passing or had passed. The rear-end bumper of the army car was damaged. The corporal in charge of the army car said that the car must have run into him after he passed. The Crown Attorney could not see how the accident could have happened any other way. The defendant, however, maintained that the army car ran into his car, and the case was dismissed. Greg Evans was counsel for the accused.

There were a number of cases withdrawn, these including one where a woman accused her husband of wife-beating and another where a husband accused his wife and another man of theft. The case against a man for failing to support his children was withdrawn when satisfactory arrangement had been made and approved by the local Children's Aid Superintendent.

A man who had taken some lagging that did not belong to him, frankly admitted that he had been guilty of theft but did not really mean to steal and had since paid for the lagging taken. He was given is freedom on signing a bond for $100.00 to keep the peace for a year.
