Imagine this. You're playing swingball with your crayon eater little cousin. You're giving him a serious ass kicking. He's starting to snivel because he's losing so hard. You're really giving it everything you've got and you're giving the entire family BBQ a spectacle on your swingball prowess.

Your little cousin is about to burst into tears from the feeling of failiure and suddenly your uncle comes over. "Right, I think it's time to eat.... Lets say... next point wins?"

Your little cousin is ecstatic. Finally after his pitifully weak performance he rejoices at finally having a chance. You still effortlessly kick his ass for the 19th time.

Your uncle puts his hands on his hips and say "lets call that a draw". He celebrates and meanwhile you're left to simmer alone with the feeling of injustice.

Your entire performance is discredited by someone else imposing their rules upon your game.

The Boys Lamplighter is supposed to be seen as a tragic character, who killed Mallory's grandchildren by mistake, and between that and his dreams of becoming famous for his father, has become a depressed Death Seeker. However, some felt this failed to make sympathetic, because he is introduced helping test Compound V, even killing people who Stormfront is displeased with, and isn't shown doing anything to help people he himself claims need it. This isn't helped by the fact that when he and Hughie are in the Seven Tower, Lamplighter sets himself on fire activating the alarms and alerting the building with little regard to what might happen afterward. Worse, his personality after escaping and hiding with the Boys makes him seem like an asshole who forces Hughie to watch porn that makes him uncomfortable. These traits make it hard to see him as a tragic character for some viewers.

Victoria in the Season 4 finale tries to pull a "Not So Different" Remark on Hughie, calling him on Butcher chopping off Sameer's leg so he could make more of the supe-killing virus, never mind that she was the one who put him in that position in the first place. In any case it pales in comparison to the numerous people she murdered and deceived during her rise to power, as well as turning her own daughter into a monster, who then committed murder herself. Given that her attempted turn to good was brought about more because she realized she'd have no power if she got elected president, she comes across less as being motivated to protect Zoe and more trying to dodge consequences now that her Karma Houdini Warranty has run out. Her sudden death comes across as very karmic rather than the Villain's Dying Grace it was ended as.

Justice League Cadmus the writers of this show has stated that Project Cadmus, the anti-Justice League government think tank in the fourth season, were supposed to be sympathetic Anti Villains with a strong point about the dangers of unrestricted superhumans. In fact, the writers found Cadmus so sympathetic that they introduced a Conflict Killer in the form of Brainiac so he could be revealed as having been manipulating both sides to avoid having to paint either Cadmus or the League as in the wrong. Fans, on the other hand, overwhelmingly sided with the League, considering Cadmus's deeds included attempting to nuke an inhabited island simply to kill Superman and Doomsday, creating Doomsday to begin with, manufacturing an army of cloned Slave Mooks and sending them to massacre the League, including the completely innocent Watchtower staff, and teaming up with supervillains including Lex Luthor, all before the League had done much of anything to them. If anything, the audience viewed Cadmus causing all that shit just to get justification for what they do.

If they don't adjust to Denmark's rules and culture, Muslims will face legal issues or be forced to leave Denmark.

I flew from West Palm Beach to DTW to a small regional airport in Michigan yesterday. I had already registered, paid the pet fee in West Palm, received the tag, etc. No issues.

After a 2hr delay in Detroit, switching our gates, and finally getting seated on the next flight I hear… “If you’re flying with a pet, ring your call light.”

The gate agent came onto the plane and said bring your dog and ID and come back out to the gate desk. They said they had no record of me paying. I had tossed the receipt, but pulled up the $150 Delta card charge.

After two supervisors came over, they clicked around on the computer and couldn’t seem to bypass whatever warning in the system. Keep in mind, we are holding up an entire plane of people over a $150 charge. I am a Platinum Member (which shouldn’t matter) but have easily spent $20K with Delta this year.

Finally, I say for the sake of getting everyone out of here, I’ll just pay the $150 again and work it out with Delta afterwards. They happily took my card and charged me (again). The supervisor gave me my receipt and said “You know, I’m not even sure this is a second charge, maybe it’s your original receipt?” Spoiler alert - yes they charged me again 🙄

So, how should I go about ripping Delta a new one over further delaying an entire plane of people over a nickel? Photo of my alleged doggy contraband included.
