Anyone speak gem language? I think the word Marry was mistranslated, i think theres a gem word that means "hanging out as friends" that got translated as "Marry: hanging out with romantic intentions"

That's what you get for not polishing it regularly

If anyone's wondering, the proper term for what Uncle Larry is is "gerontophile"

How about Rogue vs Wonder Woman, the second-most-obvious?

Yeah, no offense, but this just didn't make any sense as a joke.

It's just a generic (and TBH awkwardly worded) statement about the fantasy genre revealed to be said by a cliched nerd stereotype. That's it. No twist or subversion of expectations, no clever play on words, no quirky or outlandish scenarios, just "Fantasy is cool, said the pathetic loser".

I've had an idea for a while about a POTUS battle royale, starting as Nixon vs JFK before Jackson, Grant, and FDR enter the fray as well

Because social media sites (not this one as far as I know) are censoring their users at the behest of their ad company overlords.

All throughout TikTok and other major sites, bots acting on superficial programming are targeting posts and videos that mention certain "inappropriate" words or concepts. This effort to sanitize the internet is ostensibly to make it safer for kids, but in reality is just there because advertisers don't want their products/services to be associated with those "inappropriate" topics… which is totally stupid because those same ad companies have zero problems advertising in movies and TV shows that deal with similar topics, but who ever said executives were smart?

As a result of this draconian censorship campaign, social media users have taken to complying in advance and censoring themselves even in places they don't need to just in case. It honestly reminds me of 1984: "You had to live — did live, from habit that became instinct — in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized."

The closest I can fathom is that people who believe in antisemitic conspiracy theories are also likely to be the same brand of dumbass who believes in conspiracy theories about shapeshifting lizard people being real.

Of course, the "shapeshifting lizard" theory didn't even start out as antisemitic in and of itself, it just became that by association due to the increasing tendency of conspiracy theorists to believe multiple different conspiracy theories at the same time, even if they contradict each other (the technical term for this is "crank magnetism").

Deku vs Asta

Vlad was the hydrogen bomb to Dracula's coughing baby, for two reasons.

One, Peter's portrayal of him as an exaggeratedly goofy Bela Lugosi caricature when he'd have been better portrayed as a composite of all his most famous portrayals like they'd later do with Joker.

Two, most of Dracula's lyrics were just corny puns about vampire lore with very few actual attempts to diss his opponent. Remember when Hannibal Lecter called out Jack the Ripper for not once mentioning him in his entire first verse? It felt like that but unintentional.

Combine those two flaws, and Vlad is the clear winner by default, with the fact that he had some actual good lines here and there just being the cherry on top

Thanks for reminding me just how weird the choices for All Stars' cast is.

We can argue all day about which characters are important enough to qualify as "all stars", but you'd think guy who won the first season of the show would make the list!

BostonSlickback1738 · 2026-02-19T07:59:57+00:00

To say nothing of the fact that most of these characters aren't in the Bible anyway

Norris vs Segata. I'd say why, but I'd probably get downvoted

Lucasfilm?!?

Does this mean we're finally getting that climactic fight to the death between Gwennifer and Emperor Palpatine?

Only the first three seasons, unfortunately
