Yes. In the opposite direction, gradually. It’s called deceleration. The mass of the train would spread the impact of Superman hitting and slowing it across the entire train, rather than the frame of a tiny human going from not very fast, to super man flying speed. At least that’s how I’m rationalizing it with rudimentary physics. I’m probably wrong.

I wasn’t attempting to disparage them. Because I get it. I don’t gamble, but I have my own destructive ways to get through the days. Just unfortunate that it’s the case.

I’m in my upper 20’s, I have a lot of friends I would honestly describe as having a gambling “issue”, it’s a spectrum, some are worse than others. However, I do find it interesting that my peers are so disenfranchised, they’d rather spend time and whatever limited money they have, trying to hit a lottery, rather than work and attempt to move through the social ladder or whatever.

Now, I say all of that, to say, how are we, as a society, okay with this? How is it that I would put my life trajectory in the hands of a digital slot machine? Well, the simple answer is capitalism.

The Roman’s thought it had to be “bread and circus” imagine how stupid they must feel, all you need is a circus to keep your population from coming together.

Anyway, rant over. This image makes me sad.

Edit: I do know this is a shitpost lol sorry for taking the piss. But, it’s been topical for me recently.
