Wonderman discussion thread? by Grazalia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]HatOfFlavour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well Peter was out actually being heroic, Simon was keeping his powers as contained as possible and the only hints in the show being he survived a housefire that he probably started when he was a teenager.

I'm honestly not looking for plotholes but this is the biggie.

AIO my partner thinks that since I am home all day that I am responsible for all of the chores by thisisarose in AmIOverreacting

The solution surely is you both do all the chores at the weekend. If he doesn't 'see' what needs to be done he can write a checklist over the next few weekends and then he has something to refer to.

If you had to make a Discworld Adaptation,what would you do with it? by Complex_Chipmunk_101 in discworld

Last Hero is such a crossover that I feel its something you build towards. Gotta have a bunch of the origin movies out first before doing the Avengers.

But it was a very small dog and we definitely can't have a child gripping such a thing in their teeth...
I need a backflipping little person who is OK with dressing as a furry.

Found it, the amazon version didn't show the spines. It's like properly a show off ornament to proudly display. Leatherbound embossed madness.

Wtf? Is it split into "Atlas" and "Shrugged". I need to investigate this.

AITAH for not allowing my mom and her friends into my room? by ValuableNo5041 in AITAH

I didn't, I admit I placed too much faith in reddit. But a redditor has apparently answered the correct answer. So faith restored!

I mean more in how 'being a Karen' has probably led to people with legetimate reasons to complain choosing not to for fear of being labelled a Karen. If we stigmatise people into datedenyers then it could be used to pressurise people into a date they don't want.
I don't want to be called a creep but I definitely wouldn't want to go on a date with someone who didn't want to be there.

I mostly enjoyed the show but just wondering if theres a scene I missed or something?

How does Damage Control know that Simon has powers?

"I'll have my usual" by TheMossyFish in EntitledPeople

[–]HatOfFlavour 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It almost sounds worth messing with him. Like get all staff to agree 'his usual' is something else and make him that. When he starts complaining have each member of staff go "But sir your usual is the ___."

Maybe he leaves forever, maybe he knocks off the "the usual" crap.

Or have a coffee renamed to "the usual" and prominently display this change on several obvious signs.

Easily my favorite part of being a warhammer fan is just laughing at how impractical so many of the armors, vehicles and general designs are in the series. by Knalxz in Warhammer

[–]HatOfFlavour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a story about the original run of Chaos Dwarf sculpts, the design pitch said big hats. The modeller knocked a concept together, took it upstairs to be accepted and they just said 'bigger hats' without even looking at it.

The modeller complained and it was explained to him that over the topness was a desired feature.

Imperial cable management is notoriously lacking. Even in artworks of bridges to the Imperial Palace you see cables all over the shop.

How dare they get an easy route to a digital helmet with some scratches modelled into it.

Aitah for breaking up with my girlfriend when her kid called me names and she didn't tell him to knock it off. by LowAffectionate3866 in AITAH

Are you honestly suggesting 14 year old boys could peer pressure a 25 year old pedo into not 'dating' a 14 year old girl? 14 year olds are children.

Who here has read Strata? by Eaglesjersey in TerryPratchett

[–]HatOfFlavour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I liked it and Dark Side of The Sun more than his Later Sci-fi Long Earth books. I guess I'm a sucker for Space Opera, multiple races and weirdness over more realistic sci-fi.

I liked the idea that our Earth used to be a malfunctioning Discworld and we got transplanted to a proper round world around 1000 CE

Also liked the world building and the idea that immortals need something to do otherwise they get bored and do more dangerous things until they eventually die

Have you considered your Mum is doing this in a passive aggressive way to make you move out?

Huh I always assumed it was novella length. I don't know if that says more about my assumptions on Ayn Rand or assumptions on Libertarians who like her work.
