Superpowers are pointless ~ discuss

You wouldn't be able to enjoy the Van Basten goal he scored against them in the Euros though. Well it would take the edge off it a bit anyway.

I had not thought of that Sir.
A truly outstanding riposte !

Words to me are not like numbers to you. Words are beautifully, sometimes deliberately inexact. I’m sorry you feel the need to pretend that you don’t get it.

I really don't get it. To me, it was a bunch of incoherent mumbo-jumbo.

I would have liked to have understood your meaning, but, to quote Saruman, "you have chosen the way of pain!"

I have made tons more threads than you, but all you can do is parrot what others have falsely said, trying to denigrate me.

In what timeframe do you assert you "have made tons more threads than" Very Rusty? How about the last three months? What about in 2019? I can see six threads that you started? Very Rusty, meanwhile, started - I think - at least 30 or 40. In what conventional sense of the words "tons" and "more" and "threads" can you say accurately that you "have made tons more threads than" Very Rusty? Yout claim about yourself is confusing.

Yesterday my missus wanted to discuss mutual superpowers. She said that if she had a superpower it would be the ability to converse with all animals. I contended that all superpowers were pointless because they allowed the owner to access a existential dynamic whereby life would be massively impinged or even extinguished.

Conversing with animals would be wonderful she ...[text shortened]... cold and with boiling blood.

She just looked at me and said “this is going to be a long lock in”

I don't know about the threads I know I had her 2-0 in the GF page we were on. I actually didn't look very deep into it as I knew it was more of her lame crap flying.

As far as posts themselves I don't think she is NOT even close or in the same neighbourhood as me. 😉

Her answer, if she does answer, should be quite amusing! 😉

That would be wonderful superpower to have healing the sick, especially this Covid-19 we have which is global as everyone knows.

Perhaps I’ve overestimated you.

Overestimating BigDoggProblem would surely reqire a pointless superpower.

This was going to be my choice, at least during the balcony discussion with my wife.

She asserted that it would still be “pointless” in as much as it would ruin your life. People would would flock to you in their millions, your life would over, you would have to go into hiding.

I agreed offering that I would need an associated superpower of being able to “right click, edit, select all - HEAL”.

You could do it via YouTube and if your channel was monetized and millions came, you would then have enough money to hire people to talk to your spiders and fly around.

There is a business model in there somewhere for sure. If I could have the associated superpower to temporarily (limited time only folks) delegate my healing to other people this would enable me to franchise the model through licensing and yet remain in overall control.

Thinking about it...I could offer different sub levels of healing franchise depending on the licence bought....

I could heal bigdoggproblem’s comprehension as a starter for ten. I’d probably do that for free, a mercy healing.

I could use some chess powers, but I guess that is being selfish.

Heal people, get rich and then offer to tell people the secret to your success, for a modest price, but millions and millions will respond, so you sell them sealed and personally addressed letters that say "Do as I do". After a not inconsiderable time, fly to South America, conventionally.
