That was my thought too. This is sweeping and broad enough there's honestly likely multiple ways to just use the ruling to undo the ruling.

I remember on New Years Eve 1999 the local newspaper ran an article that was interviewing people who'd been alive for the last turn of the century and comparing the two New Years' celebrations. In hindsight I wish 10 year old me had had the presence of mind to save it, it was pretty neat.

While it's definitely PRESENT in Lord of the Rings, one could argue Frodo himself is a subversion of it. Giving the ring to someone powerful would almost inevitably result in corrupting them and (depending on just how powerful they were) would just make a new big bad. Hobbits work as ring bearers explicitly because they're not "special".

Not as far as "dumb" per se but I would accept "less smart" in exchange for physical buttons and a removable battery.

"Don't you think he looks...tired?"

Maybe it's right to left and he's made a maga manga.

Guessing that's a modular home that was being delivered, not an existing building being moved.

I mean, it could also well be just malicious incompetence covering, well...the regular kind of incompetence. If it turns out multiple cops were in and out of there during that time and all but tripped over a dead guy, that's not exactly a great look either.

It's plausible someone dumped him there thinking it was just an abandoned house and not realizing it was as active a location as it was. Or that the poor guy was ODing or something and his 'friend' tried to drop him back at his grandma's, then panicked and dumped him at the first secluded spot he saw when he realized he was dead. By the sounds of it, the wounds on his arms are the only visible wounds on the body (and it was just the random construction worker who found the guy that called them 'defensive wounds').

Somewhere in Gotham City, there's a planning and zoning guy probably making bank for playing dumb about all of Bruce Wayne's "totally not a batcave you guys" building permits.

Guessing less about the sign itself and more about the heavy equipment/traffic obstruction involved in getting it down.
