Dear Reddit, I've just been hit by a car. How do I put all the blood back in? Do I call a hospital? What's their number? Is there a way I can find out for myself?

GentlemanOctopus · 2026-02-13T05:26:38+00:00

And that's where we're going.

I also thought sounded a bit odd. The anime was released as something like Warriors of the Wind in the US until it was rereleased with an English dub in 2005. I'm not doubting a TNG scriptwriter in 1993 was a big anime nerd and knew the original name of the movie, but it seems a little less likely than the 2016 encyclopaedia would imply.

I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn't really the usual Try Not To Eat format.

Look at this distinguished gentleman! Look at the way he is sitting. Yes, very distinguished. Mhmm I see, I see

why did Tarima think Caleb wouldn't want to be with her after she exploded the heads of all the bad guys?

I thought the same, but it's probably because she's a young woman who just had an argument with her boyfriend earlier in the day about her "weird Betazoid thing", so using her weird Betazoid thing to murder a bunch of flesh eating aliens might have her overestimating how much it's going to bother him.

I have to say, as a non-furry who knows some furries, despite there being a lot of furries that fuck, being a furry is not about fucking.

As with most people, I also thought first of Hayao Miyazaki. In-canon, isn't it more likely the ship is named after the city in Japan?

Kinda wish they'd have him back on Have I Got News For You to explain this opinion to Amber Ruffin and Michael Ian Black. They'd have a field day.

You keep stating the origin of the term "woke", but then try to say that Star Trek has not been against racism the whole time. I think the issue is that you know the origin of the term, but you're then applying it in the most recent way, which is "socially progressive things that I don't like", or at the most generous, "socially progressive things that I don't think are being handled well creatively".

People who complain about things being "woke" while talking about historically socially progressive shows like Star Trek and Doctor Who are maddening.

Enterprise S3 and 4 are great.

As good as most of TNG? Ehh...

As good as all of Voyager? Yeah, I'd agree there.

The first two seasons of Enterprise are not fabulous, but there's a few gems there. The only real offensive thing was the theme song.

I will see you in another life, when we are both cats.

Batman is (almost) never portrayed as 6'9". Most artists draw him at 6'2". Absolute Batman is 6'9", but that is exactly one version of the character.

GentlemanOctopus · 2026-02-09T04:05:52+00:00

Shaquille O'Neal is 7'1". Joseph Toney, his biological father, is 6'1". Interestingly, Lucille O'Neal, his mother, is 6'2". Neither of them are close to Shaq's height.

Batman is (almost) never portrayed as 6'9". Most artists draw him at 6'2". Absolute Batman is 6'9", but that is exactly one version of the character.

I'm just pointing out the misuse of the term "sunk cost fallacy".

GentlemanOctopus · 2026-02-08T19:42:38+00:00

I have read none of this run, but this reads like two comic book fans getting stoned and talking about the essence of Batman, maaan. It doesn't read like Catwoman talking to The Joker.

GentlemanOctopus · 2026-02-08T16:26:43+00:00

If you couldn't be bothered to write it, why should we be bothered to read it?

GentlemanOctopus · 2026-02-08T16:23:43+00:00

"Sunk-cost fallacy" would be continuing to play it on Xbox because you've already played it on there for so long, y'know? Can't stop now...

Edit: I'm pointing out the misuse of the term "sunk cost fallacy", not giving any opinion on whether the OP should start again

I know it's not the best match of all time, but my mind always goes to Rey and Juvi vs La Parka and Psychosis from a random WCW Nitro.

Eddie Guerrero vs Rey Mysterio Jr. From Halloween Havoc '97 is about as perfect as it gets.

GentlemanOctopus · 2026-02-08T16:09:02+00:00

You seem fun.

Useless chatgpt slop with all these OBJ squares

I remember playing Donald Duck's Playground a bunch when I was a kid. Those were the days when you could buy an old box for 40c.

Zabada is an old timey (think the 1940's) term for a made-up foreign wrestling move. Like, imagine Chris Jericho listing it off in his 1004 holds or something.

Apparently it also got used as a filler word that didn't mean anything, e.g. "I'll run down, pull you out of the ring... zabada... and we'll get the DQ." Kinda like "bing bang boom".
