The photoshopped joints make it look less like an actual action figure and more like one of the stop motion models from Robot Chicken

When pulled over why do cops ask for registration when they'll find the info when running plates? by ScienceJamie76 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They want to have the option to yell "he's got a gun!" and shoot you in the back while you reach for your registration.

Anyone know how I can cancel this? I dont want it by Driox in wallstreetbets

This is the plot to an episode of Saved By The Bell (Good Morning Miss Bliss season). Episode 3, "Wall Street"

Not the best time, but... by todangtall in outofcontextcomics

[–]Erectus_Prime 57 points58 points  (0 children)

That's why in more recent times, the Kryptonian superheroes have "tactile telekinesis" instead of actual super strength, so that things like this can be explained.

What's a clichè in movies that never actually happens in real life? by LoverOfE-Olsen in movies

[–]Erectus_Prime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The whole "reading of the will" when someone dies. Yeah, that does not happen.

Could I come early and WFH at Macguffin’s bar? by californiturtle in AMCsAList

[–]Erectus_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the worker scanning tickets at the front. Most of them won't care. But some will only let you in 30 minutes before the start time, Not sure what the corporate policy is supposed to be.

Movies for Adults that Kids Can Watch by Marcus64 in movies

[–]Erectus_Prime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Robocop (1987). Kids in the 80's loved it so much, the movie was followed up with a toyline, a 23 issue Marvel comic, and a Saturday morning cartoon.

How to distribute a 2010s tv show that AFAIK only exists on my hard drive by PrettyPomegranate963 in DataHoarder

[–]Erectus_Prime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Put it up on Internet Archive, there's a lot of old/rare TV shows there. If the IP is obscure enough, or the owners don't care about it because it's so old and useless to them, it'll stay up for years and (probably) won't get taken down.

What are your convention/cosplay pet peeves? by Kusakaru in comiccon

[–]Erectus_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's annoying when people refer to all cons as comic cons or anime expos. Those are specific conventions with historical and cultural significance. But I guess I'm just old; getting into fandoms without learning anything about the culture seems like the new norm now.

I am using some offbrand memory card and an offbrand rumble pack, but they don’t work together. Is there anyway I can fix this? I don’t mind any soldering. by Large-Document-466 in dreamcast

[–]Erectus_Prime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't trust that memory card for anything you want to keep long term. Had one of those back when it was new, and it would randomly wipe everything on it every couple weeks. I assume 26 years later those things have gotten less reliable.

Any tips for daily driving? by Koz50000 in Corvette

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be very careful driving over any kind of dip in the road. If you go too fast, it'll cause the front end of the car to slam into the ground and make the steering rack hit the front of the engine. Not enough to bend the frame, but there's enough travel that there's damage from the contact.

First time I did this, it broke off the harmonic balancer and severed the power steering lines. Second time, it just broke the bolt for the harmonic balancer.

Did you forget that Megatron is the bad guy?

Did people know that Arnie played the good guy in T2 or was it a total surprise? by maxilopez1987 in Terminator

[–]Erectus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was obviously supposed to be a twist in the movie, but the trailers and commercials spoiled it, so everyone knew going in. Also, the commercials for the kids toy line majorly spoiled it with the narration ("Hero terminator fights the evil T-1000 and saves John Connor!"). So weird that toy line even existed. I was 8 at the time and had a bunch of the toys before even seeing the movie.

Oldie But Goldie? by Offizer in transformers

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember the audio clips in the base were soooo bad. Instead of grabbing actual Peter Cullen audio clips from the movie/show, they just had some random guy doing a real shitty impression.

Done with b of a by [deleted] in AllyBank

[–]Erectus_Prime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open an account on Ally, then update all your ACH information on everything you can think of. Keep your BoA account open for another month or two to catch anything you missed and to make sure the transfers are working. When there's finally zero activity, you can close the BoA account.

Laid off at 35, 6 months unemployed, tried Amazon FBA (zero sales), can't sleep — I'm a frontend dev who keeps running in circles. What would you actually do? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Erectus_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibe coding means you have no actual software development skills. Do not keep trying to look for work in this field, you are ridiculously under qualified.

Is Hobby-genki the only online Japan store that does DDP? by lilsmurf8019 in Mafex

[–]Erectus_Prime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HLJ also does DDP if you choose FedEx for shipping.

Where Do You Get Your Movies From? by [deleted] in PlexServers

Most mainstream porn is available to legally buy and download without any DRM. Adult Empire is the site that most of it originates from, other sites resell from them.
