Yes well, I was trying to be a little sarcastic with the headline, but looking at people’s votes I think I have failed miserably.

Oh, I thought you were an American worried about how you look outside and I was trying to calm you down. I respect your perspective of course, but it seems to me that a failed state is a bit exaggerated for this, Somalia or Yemen are still a little worse than the USA in the comparison. Authoritarian, close to breaking up as a nation, things like that I think are closer to reality, that is my vision also from the outside, I could be wrong and you may be closer to reality.
Then again, doesn’t that kinda undermine your original point?
I don’t understand why that should be done, the character stops being popular, so good writers stop having interest in working on it, they try to revitalize it with different stories, etc. whether the loss of popularity precedes the bad stories or not is not something that I am in a position to determine. In any case it wasn’t my point, I’m not a big fan of comics, I read it there and in movies/television, which if I continue a little more, it makes some sense
Hay que tener en cuenta que para muchos países latinos la palabra “pija” es el pene
A ver, no estoy en contra de que se verifique la edad en los sitios de adultos de una forma mas seria a como se hace ahora, pero esto me parece ridículo y de ninguna manera voy a dar datos personales rastreables a webs porno, que de base no son lo que se dice gente fiable.
Well, I’m not a big comic reader but that’s what the story with Lex Luthor is about, right? how all of Superman’s immense power is useless against the intelligence of a rich and evil man. I think that is the most famous antagonist and that has transcended the comics the most for a reason. Maybe for fans it’s doomsday or zod, but for casual readers and the general public it is lex and it is for good reason.
Maybe, or maybe they have bad writers because they are not able to imagine credible stories in which Superman’s strength is useless in the face of the corruption of the system and the businessmen who abuse their power, no one would believe stories like that, you need to add kryptonite to make it realistic
I once read that Superman was a humble man who faces big exploitative businessmen, while Batman is a big exploitative businessman who stands up to homeless people. The implications of Batman being more popular than Superman today and what this says about our society is enough for a complete essay.
No, from Europe I tell you, we see you as less democratic than you used to and with many problems that can escalate and screw you up (we are not celebrating here either), but you are still far from being a failed state, there are still police more or less functional, you can still call the fire department if your house catches fire, there is still a clear institutional hierarchy, more authoritarian but clear.
Yes, the speed at which you are flushing democracy down the toilet, when, I don’t know maybe 20 years ago, you were the example to follow in many aspects, it is surprising for everyone.
Like now? The president has always been able to assassinate you, officially, the difference is that before he would have gone to jail and now he won’t.
Yeah, I guess you could be right.
Yes, surely, but there is an underlying problem for this entire system, there is no economically viable alternative to the use of data for advertising sales, without that all those websites cease to be profitable.I don’t think this is good for anyone.
facebook and instagram? I don’t know about the rest of Europe, but in Spain right now practically all newspapers/digital media have copied that model and you either accept cookies or pay
Muy interesante ver como, a pesar de lo que a veces pueda parecer, salvo excepciones muy concretas, la relación mas formación equivale a mas sueldo se mantiene de forma clara. No tanto en las tasas de paro, en donde no parece haber tanta correlación
Bueno, yo hago lo mismo para participar en comunidades en inglés, con un poco de atención a lo que pone ya practicas mucho.
¿Francés, canadiense o africano?
Pues no se como va lo de los niveles o si el a2 es muy alto, pero por lo menos por escrito lo haces muy bien, espero que tengas suerte.
¿Cuál es tu idioma nativo?
últimamente he visto Sugar de apple+, tiene un giro de guion a mitad de temporada que te deja el culo torcido, pero aun así me ha gustado bastante, la recomiendo.
Si he visto algún caso de esos, me hacen pensar con envidia en los tiempos de la democracia censitaria.
Yo si, y puede que sea que me esté haciendo viejo, pero los veo tontísimos, no creo que puedan decidir ni sobre su propia ropa sin hacer el ridículo, como para decidir sobre el gobierno.
Yes, I suppose you are right, the most basic thing has not failed but certain fundamental and important institutions seem to be in it, in any case one can have a horrible and dystopian but functional totalitarian state, without being failed, I don’t know if I explain my point correctly .
this is also for @9point6@lemmy.world, I don’t know how to answer both of you at the same time, but what I say is valid for both of us.
