I will forever maintain that Steph didn't fail at being Robin because she was bad at her job. She failed at being Robin because Batman didn't want her to be Robin.

Steph was a great vigilante as Spoiler, but a Robin's role isn't just to be a vigilante. A Robin's role, first and foremost, is to be Batman's sidekick. And if Batman doesn't really want you for the job, it doesn't matter how good you are at it, you will never be good enough for him.

It was pretty explicitly clear that Batman took her on in part because he was hoping to tempt Tim out of retirement. Batman wanted to work with Tim still, and no matter what Steph did, she wasn't Tim, she was her own person.

Yes, Steph made mistakes, because she was a teenager, but no mistake she made was worse than anything Dick, Tim or Jason had done (it's worth noting that Batman had previously wanted Steph to stop being a vigilante because he saw too many similarities to Jason and was worried that she would get hurt or killed, so it does make sense that he'd have less leniency for Steph than he'd had for Jason). Disobeying Batman's orders in order to save him, the thing she got fired for, is something they must all have done at least once.

Honestly, I'd argue that Steph didn't fail at being Robin at all. She was a great Robin, but she was fired before she really got a chance to prove herself.

Honestly being overworked makes people unobservant and passive and it literally kills people every day. People don’t seem to realize that an overworked nurse might not notice your sepsis symptoms and a tired truck driver might not notice your car when he’s merging into the lane. Failing to protect worker’s rights impacts nearly everyone

THIS. I want workers to be treated well for their own sake, but I NEED workers to be treated well for MY sake. We have got to stop glorifying eroding margin into the negative zones.

10 hr shift and day one of my period…this is the bad place

idk. too many people drive like they don’t realize (or care) that they could die and/or kill someone. as a result of the way they are driving. sorry if i sound lame or ancient i just feel insane witnessing the lack of concern on a regular basis. The vehicle you are in is thousands of pounds going many miles an hour. do you know this
