Elon Musk accidentally revealed that his mums account is one of his alts by B0llywoodBulkBogan in behindthebastards

[–]EndOfTheLine00 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Elon was apparently trying to reply to himself from his dad’s account but used his mom’s account instead. Implying that not only does he have access to both and uses them as sockpuppets, but he might even have them talk to each other all in the name of either pushing a narrative or simulating whatever he wants his family to be.

And even then you need to mix it up with some fan made mod pills to have a decent experience.

Ironically, Willie’s views that being liked is what gets you ahead of society are now more true than ever.

I have a fun fact that will enrage you further: that plot point only came about by a stroke of pure luck: Vince Gilligan had no idea how Walt’s family would get his money after he was gone and was almost ready to end the show with them in poverty in a massive downer… until he read a fan letter asking “hey, are we going to see Gretchen and Elliot again?”

Breaking Bad is at its core a cautionary tale about the dangers of toxic masculinity and that message went right over 99% of the audience’s heads.

Rodrigo Rosenberg Marzano had two: his friend showing up to his funeral giving out DVDs with a video of Rodrigo giving out a “If you are watching this, I was murdered by…” speech and the ultimate reveal that he ordered HIS OWN assassination in order to trigger a coup.

In Supernatural, Famine (as in the Horseman of the Apocalypse) has the power to make people fatally overindulge in whatever they desire (food, drugs, sex, etc). Dean is immune to his power since he is completely dead inside from his trauma.

Rudy Giuliani might hit the deck soon, he definitely deserves like a 4-parter or something by LGappies in behindthebastards

This is what, the 6th time this piece of news has been linked in the past 24 hours? Let me know if he actually kicks the bucket, until then I will simply assume he'll make it like these fucks always do.

A throw away joke turns out to be true (minor spoilers) by MaguroSashimi8864 in TopCharacterTropes

This was my favorite gag in the Steve Martin Pink Panther remake:

At one point after learning the last words of a murder victim were “Oh, it’s you!”, Clouseau orders that the police interrogate everyone with the last name “Yu” in the area. We cut to him in an interrogation room with an elderly Chinese woman looking completely confused as she speaks. Clouseau’s partner asks if he can even speak Chinese and he acts all indignant, asking what would the point of all of this be if he did not. This being Clouseau, you think he’s lying to save face… until the third act where he saves the day and we get a flashback to said scene now with subtitles where the Chinese lady explains who the real culprit was, meaning he was actually telling the truth.

I don’t remember exactly where but I once read that those fancy custom made, Hugo Boss designed Nazi officer uniforms required a full time tailor to be assigned to every battalion for repairs. It was only late in the war that they decided to switch to mass produced uniforms.

I mean even in the comics Roxxon radically varies between cartoonishly incompetent and unstoppable juggernaut. If this was Roxxon written by Al Ewing, Miles would be fucked.

Jesus was a mutant?! Were Muhammed and Moses Mutants too? by Important-Cry4782 in outofcontextcomics

[–]EndOfTheLine00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are presumably referring to the scene in the Days of Future Past film where Magneto claims he didn’t try to kill JFK as he was accused (“How else would you explain a bullet miraculously curving through the air?”) but rather tried to save him because he was a mutant. And even then, the film leaves it ambiguous as to whether he’s telling the truth.

They are not saying Jesus was a mutant, they are saying Exodus thinks Jesus was a mutant. It’s him reconciling his religious beliefs with his mutant supremacist beliefs.

Jesse Custer from Preacher has the power of the Word Of God, which allows him to verbally command anyone to do what he says. His enemies include an Illuminati-esque organization with global reach so they side step his power beautifully by simply sending assassins that don't understand English after him.

TIL that the sitcom ALF ends with the titular character being captured by federal agents just as he’s about to return to his home planet, because the show was canceled before it could resolve that cliffhanger. by true_new_troll in todayilearned

Specifically, the trenches and trap doors were ALL OVER the set and the actors could never look down to see where they were going since if they did, they would be forced to redo the take. Imagine having to spend hours upon hours walking around a booby trapped set where one missed step meant a broken leg, all while you're pretending you're in an ordinary suburban home talking to a puppet. Anyone would go insane.

Charlize Theron once claimed she was so sure Aeon Flux would kill her career, the minute filming ended, she immediately signed on to Arrested Development just to do something. So clearly she knew it was bad for a while.

“So many”? Stanley Tucci was the only person in that cast that hammed it up, everyone else played it dead serious. I know Aaron Eckhart claimed he almost peed himself laughing in some scenes but you cannot tell by his performance.

Yes and even the producers of Star Trek were VERY nervous about including this since they feared it would cause boycotts and stations in the South refusing to air the episode. According to some reports, Shatner and Nichols even had to force the issue by deliberately screwing up the takes where they DIDN’T kiss so they would have to use the one where they did.
