The story is only stupid if you don't write it well. Think about how Raider of the Lost Ark stays the exact same without Indiana Jones. It sounds stupid, but what makes the story good is the characters and how they interact, their motivations and goals, the journey they take.

You can take any classic story and explain it in a stupid way to make it sound bad. Star Wars is about a kid being radicalised by a crazy old guy and committing acts of terrorism on government buildings, and the vice president is actually his dad. Sounds kinda dumb, but it's one of the most iconic stories of the 20th century.

As for your own idea, I don't see what's stupid about it. Batman's parents were hella rich and he's awesome.

Anyway, I recommend Brandon Sanderson's lecture series about writing Fantasy and SciFi, its on his YT channel.

Wait is this already in reference to the xkcd about experts overestimating the average person's knowledge about their subject or should I go look for it?

Taken on a Canon EOS 80D with a Tamron 17-50mm on my walk home from Uni at 0:30 am. I was studying, obviously. Any thoughts/advice?

That is literally how horror movies start

I thought "conservatives" couldn't invent a worse economic idea after "If the rich have more money, surely some of it will end up with the poor at some point", but here is "Just make everything more expensive so it becomes cheaper". Wow. It's almost impressive at this point.

This is what bothers critics of carbon capture [...].

Far from the only thing that bothers critics, the part where CC results in more CO2 output for all the energy it needs is usually the first thing mentioned. Even if you run CC 100% on renewables, you would still be better of replacing fossil fuels in use elsewhere with renewables then using renewables on CC.

If I had a Tesla, I would look into selling it, but I wouldn't be in a hurry if it's still in working order. Replacing a working car is neither environmentally nor economically sustainable.

I wonder if the Arch bros will ever realize they're doing more harm than good...
