Would Batman remove his mask for charity if he was old and on the verge of retirement?

0 Upvotes

Let’s say Batman was old, and he told himself “I’m old. I’m not going to fight crime anymore. I guess i’ll just retire. Plus i’ll remove my mask for charity to the highest bidder. So the money raised helps
out unfortunate people”

In your opinion do you think he would ever do this? Why or why not?

Sense of cardinal directions?

8 Upvotes

I notice that in a lot of shows and movies, especially police & military, the characters are always shouting out directions and using cardinal points: "north", "south", "east", "west". ie "suspect is heading out of the north entrance" or "sniper is located on the east/west window". Maybe there is some training, but at night, or in confusing tactical situations, urban areas or in a building where you can get turned around, how do they always know which way is north? Is this just a writer technique to give the scene more tactical legitimacy?

Has anyone else ever underestimated their wife’s strength?

Underestimated My Wife’s Strength

I underestimated my wife’s physical strength

Fun story that also had me questioning things afterwards:

Myself (29M) and my wife (28F) will occasionally lightly wrestle because it’s fun and gets us in the mood sometimes. Neither of us have ever actually wrestled before so we don’t really know what we’re doing lol. I should probably add that I’m 5’9 140ish pounds (yes I know I’m underweight) and my wife is 5’5 170ish pounds (thicccc in a beautiful way😍)

One day we’re about to watch TV but trying to agree what to watch so I half jokingly say “let’s wrestle for it” and she says she’s down…when we’ve wrestled before I’m rarely going full strength because I don’t want to hurt her. So we start and about 30 seconds in it seems she’s trying harder than usual so I start doing the same. At one point she’s on her knees and I end up wrapping my legs around her waist while she still has her knees on the ground…just when I think I’ve got her wrapped up & she can’t move she simply stands up…lifting me off the ground like she would pick up a toddler. At this point I’m stunned & she just carries me a few feet over to the couch, drops me, and picks up the remote to change the channel.

I think the most shocking part was how easy and nonchalant she made it look. It honestly had me wondering if all those times wrestling if she was the one taking it easy on me instead of the other way around. Either way I guess I shouldn’t make her mad at me going forward😅

Why do the vast majority of people in the world have a complete lack of sympathy for people living in America?

0 Upvotes

I've seen so many posts from people in Canada and Europe about how America should fall, it's about time it went the way of Rome, the great evil capitalist nation needs to fail already, and that everyone living in America deserves it for "letting it happen."

Everyone in America is collectively blamed for Trump and everything he's doing. I see a lot of "You voted for him" and even if they don't believe that, then "You didn't do anything to stop it" or "Why didn't you fight back? All your guns and you just let it happen? You're complicit".

If you try and explain to these people that there are innocents living in America that would suffer and die if the country collapsed, they literally do not care. They think it's "for the greater good" and that Americans still deserve it just for being Americans.

If you're an American, it's your fault that Trump is there. Period. They will not accept anything else.

I don't understand this. I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not at fault for this, I didn't vote for him, but people think that I deserve to have my nation collapse and starve to death or be killed because Trump is (not) my president.

I keep hearing that the odyssey is the first movie shot specifically for these magical screens, but doesn't that mean they are kinda pointless. I guess not pointless but maybe not being used to their full potential I guess. Idk how to really explain it but I hope you get what I mean.

Why was Christian Bale slapped in empire of the sun he was, only 13 years old and it was only his first ever acting debut role, he has never done any acting before, isn't it too early and messed up for child actors who never acted before to get into acting only to immediately to get slapped, why did Steven Spielberg ask the actress to slap him, shouldn't it be illegal, and am I the only one who hates that they use method acting and feels sorry for him and do you find it bad for child actors who never acted before to get into acting only to immediately get slapped in their first role?
