I don't think that's fediverse and I don't think their modlogs show up on Lemmy

Children always looked stupid, you just didn't notice it when you were a child

Bosses are legally required to make up the difference to minimum wage if a tipped employee doesn't get enough tips.

If I tip a cashier, then we're taking money away from the working class to give to the working class, which means there's no net change. But if I refuse to tip, the boss has to make up the difference and the working class gets money from the capital class.

Therefore tipping is class treachery. You're depriving the workers of chances to take money from the bourgeois.

Australia doesn't do tips. I think they're saying move to Australia or you're a class traitor.

Generously described as a theory, accurately described as a hypothesis

Iron Man: they are executives at the same company that developed the tech

Black Panther: the bad guy literally just couped the government of Wakanda

Ant Man: the villain is a former business parter of Pym

Dr Strange: they trained at the same monastery and the bad guy trained for longer

I think these fights are boring most of the time, but they're not implausible. They have plenty of plot justification.

Also the character who copied Hawkeye was a girl who was inspired by his heroism and spent years learning archery and martial arts and still sucked at being Hawkeye when she met him

There's one example of freezing in space done right. In the finale of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Battle Tendency, Kars gets shot into space and tries to course correct with air jets, but then he starts freezing over, air jets first.

In Phantom Blood, we were shown Dio's special technique for freezing people by evaporating the moisture on his skin. This is to introduce viewers to the fact that boiling a liquid makes it colder. Kars froze because the moisture in his air jets boiled in the vacuum and became freezing cold. Kars didn't know this detail of physics because he's an ancient Aztec.

How about "speak friend and enter" in elvish?

Yeah, I bet. The internet hates nuance, it hates when someone corrects their "own side" or seeks a truth independent of sides. I got banned 6 months ago from Hexbear for saying there's such a thing as gender neutral pronouns. There was a lot of discussion about the topic, and it emerged that there were two different interpretations of what I said, and they both hated me. Half thought I was advocating they/theming everyone, and hated me for refusing to gender binary people. Half thought I was advocating they/theming nobody, and hated me for insisting on gendering nonbinary people. Neither of those two positions is my position, and of course they're mutually incompatible with each other.

But these two sides both hated me, and teamed up with each other without ever realising they had completely different ideas. Because, as you say, the fact I had a small disagreement or clarification of their views meant I had to be the enemy. Whereas those two sides had completely different views, but they didn't voice their disagreements to each other, so they were able to assume they were on the same side. Have a nuanced position like mine, in questions of religion or gender or anything else, and both sides will team up to kick your ass.
