Official Derailed thread... Wait, what?

though with a a population of roughly a million people (that is the city of charlotte and the immidiate surrounding towns which there are at least 5. I'm not doing the whole metropolitan area that's just getting ridiculous then) can little to no tourism be a bad thing? traffic is bad enough. plus the 2-3 major highways. we only get away with no tourism because charlotte is almost all business (at least 3 banks are headquartered here and a hell of alot of other companies.)

 

We have 53k people, we have two festivals that gather around 50k people for a weekend and third one that gathers 30k or so.

Other than that we don't have tourism. We are far from everywhere and there is nothing to see here. The city looks nice during summer, the streets are nice and so and we have more shops than average, but the main attraction for me is the fact that there's almost zero traffic ever and the fact that we're so far off any possible radar that nothing ever happens here, meaning nothing bad ever happens. (like, terror attacks, conflicts, riots etc.)

That is incredibly retarded. If there was a risk of collapse, the longer they spend in the tunnel the more likely they will get killed in a potential collapse. If you were afraid of it you should step on the pedal.

I fucking hate slow driving fucktards. That's one of the reasons I like this city, because of the low traffic it's easy to pass by the one driver who is driving slowly. If it was a big trafficky city that would be impossible because there would be like 3 people driving too slow and making unnecessary stops, not accelerating when light turns green etc. - and they'd be followed by dozens of other cars you'd need to pass before getting rid of the slow ones. And passing would be impossible because all the lanes would be filled with cars.

No, I prefer this. There are actually several times of day when there's practically no cars at all.

 

You can hurt a person, but never hurt the people they care for.









Some context: Superman loses Lois Lane and their son and pretty much snaps. He believes only way to save everybody is abuse his power. "Ends justify the means." Green Arrow gets him a super human pill so he can do whatever he wants. Batman tries to stop him from eating it but ends up getting fucked up by Super. Alfred has enough and eats the pill himself before Superman can do it.

One of the moments in comics where "hero" is reminded that they are nothing without their fancy powers.

 

I'd just assumed Alfred was awesome, but super human pill works too.

Some of these are awesome

 

It would have been rather amusing to learn that Alfred could do that all along.

"A human regenerator?!"
-Alucard

In this case not a human, but jellyfish.

 

Be afraid...

That also reminded me of a movie from last decade:



How many people remember this?
In this case Hulk was result of military scientist testing out modified DNA sequences on himself and his son inherits the features.
It had its problems and plot-holes, but I still quite liked this Hulk.

"You think you can live with it? Take it! TAKE IT ALL!!"

 

To be fair Alfred is awesome, like James Bond but in like the olden days of biplanes and crap.

 

I was like "well duh alfred is a badass." him eating the pill works but less awesome then him just beating the shit out of superman.

i always thought that alfred should be a WW I commando who for whatever reason became a butler (like bruces grandfather or father saved him or something but a I think alfred is older then bruces father)
