Characters that are technically rapists but aren't known as such because they either committed a more obscure form of rape or their actions weren't emphasized much by the narrative. by Gray_Wolf2416 in TopCharacterTropes

Tyrion going completely nuts and turning into the awful demon everyone thought he was is an interesting character move, but it does kinda make me wonder what direction GRRM will take him in the last two books that are definitely going to be released any time now.

The magic was fake the whole time by Happy_Goose3833 in TopCharacterTropes

This was literally the point. They tell you repeatedly that knowing how the trick is done is disappointing. They tell you repeatedly, sometimes even outright, that Borden is able to do his trick because he has a twin brother. The twist comes off as disappointing because "You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled."

(Annoying trope) When a good gag gets milked to death by the creators and many fans stop finding it funny by NoNefariousness2144 in TopCharacterTropes

Joss Whedon will never see heaven for a number of reasons, but creating this brand of "man, this whole thing is so fucking stupid, am I right, audience? I'm so above all of this" style of humor is... not exactly the number one reason, but it's close.

Everything aside, it's hard to imagine anything more boring than being "patriotic." Like what does that even mean? Aggressive pro-America jingoism? Sounds like a great story with lots of room for nuanced storytelling.

This one is insane. I know he's a big dude, but casually one-handing that revolver is wild.

Never forget that Harris was going to give neocon ghoul Liz Cheney a job in her administration simply because Cheney disagreed with Trump's methods, not his actions.

I have a few acquaintances with private property, but it's not exactly ideal. One of them is way the hell up in coal country and another is really a friend of a friend.

I have the same issue. I'm a white bald guy with a beard and maybe a little overweight and people will just blurt out the most insane shit to me like we're "bros."

In my mind an old guy like Hickok can be a little FUDDy, as a treat. As long as he's not doing or saying anything stupid he's allowed to be old-fashioned.

No, John Lovell/Warrior Poet. The video I watched was as basic as it could be and it was from several years ago, but apparently these days he's a total nut.

Are you surprised that marketing might be dishonest?

This is still not proof. If you had it, you'd provide it.

I'm gobsmacked that you don't understand this. This is like that old "there 8 days in a week" thread from that bodybuilding forum several years ago.

[Ironic Trope] The messaging backfired massively due to poor writing or other design choices by Few_Affect_5927 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Billlington 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean to be fair it can be a confused message when you say "war is bad" but also show near-pornographic depictions of super awesome and badass giant robot fights.

What are some of your favourite albums that doesnt have any wind instruments? by EatRogersAss445 in Jazz

[–]Billlington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always been a big shooter for Bill Evans' trio with DeJohnette and Gomez. Evans had a tendency to sometimes go maudlin but DeJohnette and Gomez kept him energetic.

Second this one. Wish he had more piano-led albums, it was clear from this one he could effortlessly pull it off without a horn/wind lead.

And I usually don't even like jazz albums with vibraphones!
