this is one of the things i like so much about vigilantes Eraserhead walks in on a drug deal, knows its a drug deal, and simply lets it slide because the dealers are valuable as informants and the drug isn't that dangerous. it's the exact ethical grey area the original series lacked, which made its villains feel flat and unjustified in a heavily idealized world. Pro heroes protecting drug dealers to go after bigger villains really shows how rotten things are behind the scenes. It shows a world of compromised morals with an overwhelmed justice system unable to handle its own laws. "Order" is prioritized over "good." Heroes manage a villain ecosystem because they gave up on eliminating evil.

i'm now thinking about that time i we were supposed to learn about estimating things. the lesson was this picture of a crowd (represented by small dots) and we were supposed to guess how many people were there i noticed that the crowd was a repeating texture, so counted the dots in one square and multiplied by the amount of times the texture repeated. this way, i was able to precisely answer exactly how many people were in the crowd. i did this and showed my work got marked wrong for not estimating View quoted note →

i need a gf who wears this shirt

for some reason i'm thinking back to a stupid lesson from like kindergarten, where the teacher had salt in a bunch of pots and one pot of sugar. each student was supposed to pick a single pot to get a spoonful from, and eat it. if you got salt, you weren't allowed to guess anymore. thing is, the pots weren't identical. they were a matching set but they looked slightly different from wear and tear. so i could tell which ones were which even when they were shuffled. i think the lesson we were supposed to learn was about probability i think? but after getting it right 5 times in a row by seeing which one was which the teacher made me stop guessing and the only thing i learned was that i was surrounded by blind morons who couldn't figure out the obvious even when it was right in front of them (teacher included)
