A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

The whole point of Daredevil is the dilemma between the forgiveness and grace of his Catholic faith and his need to punish "evildoers" like the ones who killed his father. His dichotomous nature means as Daredevil he hands out punishment, but as Matt Murdoch he helps people who made one mistake or are just unable to fight the system in general have a chance to make a better life for themselves. That's what has made the character interesting since Frank Miller revamped him in the late 70s. If the whole comic/show was just a guy callously trying to send everyone to jail for as long as possible the whole time it would be very one dimensional and REALLY boring.
Comics are all about telling a compelling and entertaining story, which means they don't always follow perfect real world logic.
If they did they would be more like a documentary or something

A superhero that beats the shit out of a criminal, hands them to the cops, goes in as his day job to prosecute them might as well be "the man with no chill"
That might actually work for a chaotic storyline with an antihero version of Two-Face. The dichotomous nature is baked into the character, maybe even too rigidly
I will point out that defence attorneys are important to upholding justice even if their client is guilty. Even criminals deserve a fair punishment, and a government that overreaches to declare harsh punishment without proving beyond reasonable doubt its justification is not justice either. Especially in the Marvel universe, where someone like Wilson Fisk can become mayor, it's quite important.
Maybe, but part of the theme of the TV show (I can’t speak intelligently about the comics) is that the system is corrupt. As a prosecutor, you would be part of that system.
As a criminal defense attorney you operate independently.
He also need those flexible work hours
