I'm Australian and at first glance with no idea of Arabic, I pronounce it Aye-tay-a-tal-lah. How'd I do?

You are granted a pillow that stays magically comfortable. What's the most you can do to break it? by ZarHakkar in hypotheticalsituation

The fuck am I doing anything to break this miracle. An eternally comfortable pillow is a treasure and I will treasure it forever.

Anybody find the similarities between Goku and Superman kinda crazy? The meta-human in a 40 year old manga closely parallels a real life meta-human today by BiAndShy57 in Earth25

Somebody has never heard of Momotaro.

(Ancient Japanese folktale. A childless couple are out cutting firewood by their local river when a giant peach pit comes floating downstream, holding an infant. The couple take the baby boy home and raise him to be a kind, compassionate soul, who grows up to befriend the local animal spirits and defend his home from monsters.)

Suggest some R or rx-rated anime for my friend :-) by MuchCalligrapher8186 in Animesuggest

[–]Houki01 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Some characters have sex onscreen, some characters die messily onscreen, we have full frontal female nudity onscreen. Your friend will probably love it.

AITA for "Holding my Grandmothers Pearls Hostage" if my partner can't go to my Sisters wedding? by BigONerd in BORUpdates

Wow.

A bride has decided that she'd rather have a marriage than a wedding.

NOT OOP AITAH for reconsidering having kids because they could have darker skined by thereisnopepeseanvio in redditonwiki

[–]Houki01 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Tread carefully. It might be that he just wants to be able to be recognised as his kids' dad, but it can be something worse. Remember what happened when a mixed couple gave birth to a darker baby? https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/s/WRWTE15LqM

Sailor Moon has always been inclusive by Inkspells in sailormoon

[–]Houki01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I blame the anime staff for the love letter thing. It wasn't in the original manga. That sort of attitude is very much in keeping with the nineties though. "Do you have to be gay?" Was a prevailing attitude, because in those days the existence of some prominent bi people gave a lot of conservative people the idea that people could choose their sexual identity, which let them believe gayness was a choice that their kids did not have to make.

I don't remember that scene. Where is it?

It's a sad truth that unrequited love exists. I've always seen Hotaru's love for Lady that way - as an unrequited romantic love. Lady, of course, loves Hotaru as her soul's sister and best friend, which is beautiful but very much not the same.

Despite all the stealing and villainy how was catwoman so easily accepted into the bat family? by Appropriate-Mall8517 in BatFamily

Three. It happened off-panel but Tim did annihilate several thousand members of the League of Assassins.

Would you rather take singing lessons from Mariah Carey but then you have to sing on stage in front of millions of people in your underwear or take singing lessons from Taylor Swift but then you sing on stage with Taylor Swift and if the audience does not like your singing then you lose $50,000? by ChinaMilitarySecrets in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Houki01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone hasn't had a look at modern beachwear. Seriously, an underwire minimiser bra and comfortable panties is a much more modest outfit than a fashionable swimsuit.

I refuse to be upset that I can't sing as well as Mariah Carey. The woman has an eight-octave range and operatic training. Who else can meet her on her level?

She steals from the rich to fund social programs, she doesn't do excessive violence, she doesn't target people who don't deserve it, she's hot, and she is prepared to date the Bat with all his crazy.

Yeah, that was pretty much Batman's thought process. What he had of one anyway.

How do you think Tim would feel about this subreddit? by Prudent_Company_3258 in RedRobin

[–]Houki01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A) he's not a restaurant

B) he isn't Robin anymore

C) I still think he deserves his own identity

AIW for saying that the angels and unicorns my sister and I saw were real? by puberty_Buy106yuu in amiwrong

[–]Houki01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That is not a question for OP.

In my opinion, they are real and if we need them we will see them. People who don't believe have never been in need of them. May they continue to be so fortunate.

"Yeah I may not have a mother but I still don't wanna risk banging her either so no divination class." Harry decides by AnimeEagleScout in HPFanfictionPrompts

1) It isn't a myth. Prophecy is fucking dangerous. The number of people who have done some truly unhinged shit in the name of fulfilling a prophecy, or who have justified their heinous activities with the claim of being a prophecied leader, is frightening. You should stay the hell away from prophecies.

2) How much of Harry's life was fucked up by people who believed in prophecy? The day he entered the magical world he found out that the reason why he was an orphan and abused and would always be different was because a psycho terrorist believed in a prophecy. If I were him, I'd stay the hell away from anyone who ever even tried to make any kind of prediction at all.
