I used the word "Damoclean" in a post to be annoying and there are people in the notes like "#yesssss damocles mentioned". This site's notion of how fandom works is genuinely unfathomable.

Did you know that between 1939 and 1941 the NYC Tax Administration and the Works Progress Administration collaborated to take photographs of nearly every building in all 5 boroughs of New York City? And that you can see these photos today thanks to NYC Municipal archiving? This is, obviously, amazing for hundreds of reasons. For the purposes of this post, it's fantastic because this is a very real address:

And when I put that address into the photo locator map, I get this:

Going from there, we can walk around the surrounding blocks via photographs. And if we assume that Steve and Bucky's pre-war apartment was fairly close to the Barnes', then these photos from 1939 to 1941 are a historically accurate trip to their neighborhood.

So, let's explore some pre-war Brooklyn. For your fic inspiration needs, your feelings, the general Stucky vibes, or just because:

160 State Street, bigger and without the map.

(If you ever feel like making the details of a fic incredibly historically accurate, there are so many real businesses to choose from in these photos.)

Like I said, there are pictures of nearly every building. This is just a small collection of the images I grabbed from the immediate blocks around 160 State. You can walk around the neighborhood in more detail, or anywhere else in 1939-1941 New York you want on the map I used.

Gotham Knights is 80% off again to celebrate Bruce Wayne's birthday (along with a bunch of other Batman stuff).

This isn't a sponsored post. I just want more people to yell about this game with and I know a bunch of you were waiting for it to go on sale.

Also, I finally got @mothman-etd to buy a copy so we can play co-op. I am excited :D

[minjiminjiminji]

The game has pretty good screenshot tools which can be fun if you're into virtual photography I recommend skipping much of the faster-travel modes of building-leaping or gliding in favor of walking the highly-detailed streets as it's a great way to really see the city. Plus there's a 'collectables' series that is easiest to find items for if you're on the ground and moving slowly.

"If stuff was just handed to me I'd have no motivation to do anything! That's human nature!" No, babe, that's depression. Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn't being actively threatened.

[ruinedrainbowpooka]

okay so like, we all know that housekeeping in a hotel is a Shit Job, right?

I worked with a woman who was independently wealthy. But she liked working housekeeping. So she did. And if the manager got bitchy with her, she’d just shrug and be like “Okay, I can quit.”

Like the manager treated her like a human being because she knew she had to because otherwise she’d lose one of her best workers.

Yes, everyone should be just handed the money to live.

[actualaster]

I worked with a lady who’s husband made more than enough to support them both.  She just did the retail to have something to do with herself part-time.

There’s a lot of people who’d happily do the same sort of thing.  Honestly?  A lot of the jobs we consider “shitty” jobs?  Are shitty because the employees are treated like garbage.

If employees weren’t being screwed over by people higher up the chain constantly or being forced to kiss the asses of customers currently shitting all over them, those jobs would by and large be a whole lot more bearable, and appealing to more people!!

[amuseoffyre]

Plus rich people are just handed a lot of money, whether they earn it or not, and no one questions that. Only poor people getting money gets interrogated over and over and over again.

[giantgayratthatmakesalltherules]

I’d like to add a footnote to this thread that the US gives more money (by way of the income tax reduction) to homeowners than it does to poor people who need subsidized housing.

[hulking-godless-child-beast]

My best teacher in high school was the guy who had previously made a ton of money that he could’ve retired at like 30. Man just wanted to teach teenagers.

If people as a whole were handed enough money to live on, maybe more people like him wouldn’t be put off by the poor salary teachers make. (also teachers should be paid a lot more)

[atopfourthwall]

There's also this assumption that if people were just handed enough money to live that they'd do absolutely nothing, as if they'd be satisfied being completely bored all the time. They'd still buy food. They'd still buy video games. They'd still go out and get coffee and put money into the economy even if they didn't want to work because they still want to LIVE. They'd buy movies. They'd go DO stuff. I review comic books on the internet and I love doing it, but I often have to compromise on some things because I just can't afford to do otherwise and I stress out about stuff because I need to earn money.

"Psychologically healthy people are still motivated to do things even when their survival isn't being actively threatened."

Speaking for myself, I would be even MORE motivated to do things if my basic needs were guaranteed met. IJS

[nimona-antifa]

[kedreeva]

What I think some people miss about stuff like UBI (universal basic income, the idea that everyone gets a staple amount of money that could cover basic housing and food needs) is that... It doesn't really need to be a lot of money. The idea isn't "give everyone so much money they're now rich and can do whatever they want forever." The idea is to provide enough for their most basic needs (food water shelter). It's enough that if your job mistreats you, you are safe enough to leave it without the threat of becoming unhoused or starving. This, in turn, forces employers to treat their workers better because if they don't, then they don't get workers.

But the other side of this coin is that ONLY a person's basic needs are covered. As someone above said, people still want to do fun stuff! Fancy coffee and vacations and doing leisure activities like movies or bowling or whatever. Keeping pets. Having get togethers. If someone wants the extras in life, THAT'S the stuff they "should" be working for. That's the "well if they don't want to work then they don't get [whatever]!" that is the consequence of not working. Are some people gonna be fine not doing any extra stuff and just living basically? Sure! And that's okay. But most people DO want extra stuff and will work for it if they can (and if they can't they should still get extra basic income! Humans deserve enrichment!)

But "You don't get the vacation" is not the same consequence as "you don't get to live in a home or eat food today." The consequence of not working should NEVER be no longer having your basic needs met. And it's absolutely ridiculous that so many people have normalized that you work or you perish. We live in a society! We invented civilization to make it easier to care for one another and ensure everyone's basic needs get met! Human civilization began when we decided it's not "survival of the fittest" on our watch, but "survival of everyone we care about." We have lost our way if we cannot protect each other.

What ghibli film is this

[thebibliosphere]

My only complaints about Gotham Knights are 1) i want to get exp for killing cops and 2) I think Barbara should have been Oracle and Cass Cain should have been Batgirl. Batman not really being there is a plus imo

I would have loved Cass to be there, but I also like how they handled Barbara as Batgirl and her recovery.

I like that she still uses her wheelchair when she doesn't have her back brace on. I like that the Belfry has been adapted to be wheelchair friendly. I like that her suit is augmented to compensate for her back. and that she talks about physical therapy in terms of ongoing rehabilitation and not "I worked really hard, and I'm cured!"

It's just nice to have those little nods to dynamic disabilities in a world where you can nano-bot/magic your way out of erasing them.

I think if we'd ever gotten a second game (we still might, but IIRC, the studio went under during covid), we'd have seen more expansion of the Batfamily. It certainly feels like space was being set up for them.

And I actually think it's funnier that they don't give us XP for killing cops. Like, the game gave me a reminder the other day, "Remember, you don't get XP for attacking the GCPD," and I'm like, oh, no, bestie, I'm doing this for free.

I will gladly dropkick a cop into oncoming traffic outside the donut shop on my own time 😂.

i like that there's no game reward, it makes it clear that you are doing it as a service to the community
