Now that is something that needs a whole lot more attention.

Yeah, but when people get dramatic about bees dying they’re almost exclusively talking about the honey bee. A lot of people don’t understand there are other kinds of bee.

When I look up metrics for bee populations dying I’ve not found anything that talks about bees outside of the honey making industry.

Only because you know so little.

Yeah, there’s that too. Honey bees are native here in Europe, but they’re foreign to America. America has their own bee populations, but they don’t produce honey. Or at least, none of the native species are the kind of bee the industry used for honey production.

No, the US government didn’t. There were some guys who allegedly heard some other guys talk about a crash that allegedly was a UFO. They all happened to work for the American government.

There were also a group of guys that wasted US government resources on just plain bullshit for literal decades.

It’s not because of a lack of interest. It’s not because we “get used” to things to quickly. It’s because it doesn’t matter. Like, alright. So aliens are real. Aliens have secretly been communicating with all the world’s government.

So… What actually changes?

Is this new information going to fix the housing market? Is capitalism going to change? How is this information going to change corporations squeezing everything dry? Aliens being confirmed is awesome, wondrous news! But… How will I, an average dude, be part of it? What is the point if I wake up tomorrow and everything around me is still the same? Wars are still the same, religions are still the same, the economy, hell, even the information these aliens bring to Earth, only benefits the top 1%.

If I still have to work a shitty job just to barely afford living in a single room, what difference does knowing aliens exist make?

It’s a rather large misconception that bees are somehow required for pollinisation. That’s completely underestimating the value of butterflies, and how much they contribute to pollinisation. Even if all bees were to disappear overnight, the impact will hardly be Earth shattering. The most drastic thing that’ll happen is Humans losing an industry.

Without bees there will be a minor blank spot in a niche that already has other insects doing the same.

But that’s assuming that bees are actually dying. There are thousands of species of bee in the world, or even on just a single continent, and they’re doing… Fine… Ish. About as fine as any other creature on Earth being effected by Humans and climate change. The ones everyone is so concerned about is specifically the honey bee.

Honey bees are not even the best pollinators. No, the real concern with the dying of honey bees is that the honey industry will lose money. So honey bees dying is a corporate fear!

The tomato.

That’s about it.

Sure you were. Sure you were.

How to tell everyone you’ve never actually read a single Batman comic, method A:

It wasn’t even in a controlled lab environment. Literally some apartment.

Well then, let’s put this to the test, shall we?

Since Spiderman is the one presented in this, comic, let’s first look at all the spiderman villains:

Toby Spiderman 1: Green Goblin. His motivation is revenge for being taken off a project due to a lack of favourable results. So his, motivation was greed.

Toby Spiderman 2: Doctor Octopus. Guy got his brain rewired with robot voices in his head. Only motivation is the base programming of his robotic arms.

Toby Spiderman 3: Venom is an evil alien parasite. Makes people into edgelords. Green Goblin Jr. wants to avenge his father, as he misunderstands the circumstances of his death. Sandman is a petty criminal in an unfortunate situation. He has no real motivations besides his daughter and doesn’t have much agency in the movie.

Amazing Spiderman 1: Lizardman’s motivation is the trauma of losing his arm. He then decides to force his lizard transformation on a densely populated city for no real reason, and without consulting anyone about it.

Amazing Spiderman 2: Electro is a hurt fan. Doesn’t feel like he’s appreciated, but now that he got powers he thinks people will appreciate him by being a murderous dick with them. There’s also Green Goblin in here, but I honestly can’t remember his motivation as he was just shoehorned into the plot.

MCU Civil War: Spiderman is here just to impress Stark. The guys he’s fighting don’t like the shift in governance that Stark helped create, but they’re not considered villains. Stark could be considered as changing the status quo here, but he’s not presented as a villain either. Baron Zemo is the villain, but his motivation is only petty revenge and Spiderman doesn’t even fight him.

MCU Spiderman 1: Vulture and Co. feels fucked over by the way things are run these days. But his motivation is not changing the status quo. He wants to get rich and have revenge on Stark.

MCU Infinity War/Endgame: Thanos is the first villain on this list who is genuinely trying to change some sort of status quo as his primary motivation. Not greed or revenge of any sort. However, the method he decides to use is incredibly destructive, and equally as stupid. No, deleting half of life in the universe is not a permanent solution.

MCU Spiderman 2: Mysterio is just… Petty revenge again. Like, the guy’s motivation is so shallow. He has absolutely zero intention of changing any status quo.

MCU Spiderman 3: The struggle in this movie has nothing to do with status quo. Mysterio fucked over spoodermahn, which leads to a bad decision, which leads to villains from other movies, which leads to a good decision that fixes rather than defeats. Wait, no, this movie is about changing the status quo, and it’s Spiderman who’s changing it.

Hmm… Let me think about villains from the MCU for a bit…

Obidiah Stane: Corrupt greedy cunt.

Loki: Power hungry maniac.

US military (in the Hulk): Trying to “fix” a mistake.

Red Skull: Power hungry maniac.

What’s-his-name with the whips: Revenge.

Justin Hammer: Corrupt greedy cunt.

Loki again: Even more maniacally power hungry.

Guy Pierce Mandarin: Corrupt greedy cunt who’s also a power hungry maniac.

Hydra: Power hungry maniac with new world order ideals. Yeah, they’re trying to change the status quo, a first on the MCU list. But I’m pretty sure we can all agree straight up executing unruly members of the population, even if they haven’t done anything, is not the kind of change in the status quo we like seeing.

Dark Elves: Revenge.

That guy from Gaurdians: Power hungry maniac.

Ultron: Wants to change the status quo by introducing everyone to his friend, extinction. Pretty sure most people would want to be alive to exist in a changed world. Preferably one with better living standards.

Hella: Revenge.

Ego: Narcissistic maniac.

That one evil wizard: Can’t remember what his personal motivations are, but it involves introducing an extra-dimensional destructive force of nature. Pretty sure whatever it is, it isn’t justified.

So… My only conclusion is whoever made that little comic never watched any of the movies he’s criticising. Or maybe he’s secretly Garo.

Just like ba haha ha ha hahaha ha ha ha haha!

You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Batman has a principle of not killing people.

I don’t get it. I mean, yeah, I get what’s going on, I just don’t get what makes it funny, or what point it’s trying to make.

Interesting…

Need to keep Cobalt Tools in mind. Was looking for something like that.

This attitude towards homelessness is not unique to NYC.

I bet you haven’t heard what those British MPs said about homelessness.
