It's more "in addition to" than "instead of". In the comics, the Wayne foundation sponsors orphanages, welfare and job programs, homeless shelters, and clinics

You can tell it's fictional by the way a billionaire is good for society

It was a classic game concept. My earliest memory was of a helicopter game in the 80s, where the game worked basically the exact same way with worse graphics.

It's a very 80s game idea, and those games weren't for everyone, to be sure. But Flappy Bird wasn't a bad game, just a typical time waster of its decade. With Super Mario graphics.

Am I the only one who appreciates Ethan Phillips and acting the way he was written?

I suppose I'm in the minority here, but I avoid video or audio content entirely in these situations. I don't want to listen to somebody babble on about something, whether it's a news story, a documentary, an opinion piece, whatever. Just give me an article or even a blog post that I can read at my own pace, and easily scroll up to refer back to previous parts.

Ctrl+F is my best friend, and you can't do that in a video or podcast.

How often does this come up for you? I rarely even call customer support lines or interact with web page bots, much less encounter AI responses

Im an elder millennial, and I remember multiple teachers in school assigning us to read a newspaper article and even directly telling us to look for factual statements and compare them to the opinion statements. In high school they instructed us to identify biased statements.

It's been well known that news articles all come with their share of bias or outside influence, and I thought people used to consume them with this understanding.

These days, my parents act like all articles lie, and throw up their hands to say it's impossible to tell. And then they take any headline at face value if it reinforces their existing opinions.

Eh? I'm pretty sure the point was that he always had an impressive level of skill and knowledge, he just did poorly with interacting with people

If anyone is looking for this, they call them "dry herb vaporizers" these days, to alleviate confusion.

And they are good
