I can see the value of data networks. If every car on the road is self driving and interconnected, they know where every other car is and can cooperatively adjust their speed and routes to basically eliminate traffic. Even if it's just every car in a taxi fleet, they can still share their sensor data to build a better operating map from multiple angles. The privacy side of that is rough, but it could drastically reduce accidents compared to individual human drivers.

Sometimes, but that doesn't erase the fact that he doesn't report to anyone. What happens if his moral compass is compromised? As the reader, we get to see the kind of person Peter Parker is so we trust him. But to JJJ, he's just a random person with superpowers taking the law into his own hands.

I mean, Spider-Man is literally a masked vigilante with no chain of accountability. JJJ has legitimate concerns.

Spirals are actually quite common. Electromagnetic waves are spirals, the Earth's orbit spirals through the galaxy. A spiral is just non-static circular motion. Circular motion is one of the most basic and widespread phenomena in the universe, at every scale. It's not really mysterious that they would show up a lot.

That would be telling

Is this a Dopapod reference?

I think it comes from them triggering in the middle of the night, and maybe distortion when the battery gets low.

I don't trust random charities. I do plenty of charitable giving, but I vet the organizations I give to. I don't know how the random charity on the screen uses their funds.
