If you were a superhero, what would you want your power be? And would you tell anyone about it?

I used to read a lot of comic books.

[And by 'used to' he really means right before he came here.]

I guess I've just always liked superheroes. They have powers, gifts, things that make them special. But there's always pain too. They lose people that they love, or they have to hide their true identity. Their lives are never perfect.

Maybe I should've started by asking if you would WANT to be a superhero.

So that they could use them for good. Or alternately, for selfish reasons.

Why would it be worth it.
For either.

Sometimes anything's an improvement to the life you already have.

Bullshit.
You said pain + losing people.
Not an improvement.

Sometimes those things happen anyway.

But if you had a power, say you could go back in time, you might be able to prevent it.

That's if you had a power like that.
+ you still can't prevent everything.
+ might be fucking things up for someone else by messing with it.
Causality.

What if you just kept going back until you got it right?

What if you just kept going back fucking it up more.

I think you would have to plan carefully. Figure out the certain things that must happen at certain times.

You can't plan everything.
You can't fix life.
If it's shit, it's shit.
Go forward, not back.
