I've spent my undergraduate experience studying linguistics, sure, but more importantly, honing my answers to the questions "oh, so what is that?" and "so how many languages do you know?" whenever I introduce myself with my major.

interesting anticapitalist post about climate change. however I shan't reblog because in it you implied this devastation occurred because of some sort of innate human trait of selfishness and not the logical development of a profit-motivated economic system

once i was in the TSA line for a flight and it was SO LONG that TSA decided to just drop all the security protocols. leave everything in the suitcase including electronics. keep your shoes on. don't go through the fancy 360 scanner, just the metal detector. get out of here. and i was like ohhhh so you admit this is all just your stupid community theatre production that you've made me be a part of for all this time and it doesn't actually mean anything real. okayyyyy

so I just saw an ad about how people go into the wrong careers for their talents and the example was superman :/ because superman should be using his powers to diagnose cancer or deliver vaccines at super speed or whatever instead of being a superhero and it annoyed me. So I'm going to overanalyze it cause i'm me.

I kinda hate the arguments that people make about superheros when they clearly don't like the characters or read about them (ex: "batman is an asshole rich guy who beats up the mentally ill" this is a *whole* different argument that many people talk about, but my only addition is watch batman TAS I beg you) and I think this is one of them.

Multiple comics have covered this exact issue before!! Yes superman *could* dismantle entire militaries, diagnose illness for everyone in the population and basically answer humanity's every prayer but he doesn't *want* to be a god. He wants to be a dude from Kansas with human parents. Multiple comics go over the fact that superman's whole philosophy is to be a catalyst to get humans to uplift *themselves* (and this applies to the real world!! Good superman comics should make us--people existing in a world without superman--to want to uplift ourselves as humans, not gods. This would be impossible if superman comics were about him using his magic god powers to end disease everywhere).

In fact, I'd even say this whole argument is adjacent to Lex Luthor's worldview. Lex believes superman's entire existence is an insult to humanity because he sees superman as a god. The reason superman's silly disguise (glasses) works is because Lex (and other people) can't possibly imagine that someone like superman would deliberately choose to live life as an ordinary human. Why would a god ever want to be human? Why would anyone ever reject godhood for humanity? (hey pjo fans) But this is precisely the thesis of superman!! Humans don't have to be gods and in fact, 'gods' are not necessarily greater than humans! Humans are capable of great things and uplifting each other!

This last part is more unrelated but this is also why I think Lex is ableist. He values an "ideal" human body and wants to kill superman because his inherent ableism makes him so spiteful that there is someone stronger than him in the way superman is. Lex believes humans are only as valuable as they are 'strong' failing to realize that 'strong' is something he made up and that everyday humans living ordinary lives are doing great things. He doesn't see the inherent greatness and importance in living, in being a good person.
