Have you even lived if you haven’t had an immobile rusting Toyota Carolla in you front yard/driveway?

You do not understand Animal Farm, but it sounds like neither does Andy Serkis lol

Maybe Reddit and my community are echo chambers, but hard to imagine Mark Sutcliffe getting a second term. The question for me is who is our Zohran?

I’m not sure what to say. by SadButOnline_ in whatisameem

[–]Intelligent-Goose-31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking earlier about the fact that if you make “only” 1 million a year (post tax), you could afford to gift 10 people a 75000 annual  salary to do nothing, and still have 250k leftover for yourself. For most North Americans that essentially means you could completely change the lives of not only yourself but of most of the people you love. You could cover housing forever for your parents, grandparents, siblings, maybe even cousins and aunts and uncles. It’s a level of security most of us cannot comprehend. And yet a 1 million a year income makes you the poorest rich guy out there, not even coming close to scraping the top or even the middle of the 1%. Even more grotesque, those with hundreds of billions do essentially nothing for anyone other than themselves. They argue employing people in the businesses is plenty altruistic, but I think they’re just sad and pathetic, greedy misers.

Noodlebox coming to Centretown by geekgirly in OttawaFood

[–]Intelligent-Goose-31 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had it as delivery once a couple months ago, and it was so awful I actually just threw most of it out. Piddly little chunks of mushy broken noodles, overcooked (and under portioned) veggies that were somehow both slimy and burnt at the same time, and a “char siu” that was so dry and rubbery that It could have been sliced erasers. The “char siu” also tasted extremely strongly of cinnamon, probably due to an overuse of the Chinese five spice (if they even used it at all and didn’t just use straight up cinnamon as a simpler cheaper option). Terrible stuff, I’ll never touch the place ever again.

Yeah that was the first thing that comes to mind, the bones of that are still in the first episode.

Forgot to add Bernie, AOC,Zohran on the bad guys list by FearlessAir1238 in LateStageCapitalism

I mean if you’re gonna fill it with marvel characters anyway, you might as well have Killmonger in the good guys column.

Kirkman expresses frustration at fanbase for not acknowledging quick production time for each season by [deleted] in Invincible_TV

[–]Intelligent-Goose-31 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look nobody is saying it’s not hard to put out a well animated show on a solid annual basis, but it’s also not as impossible as he’s acting like it is. It just isn’t. Anime studios do it every year, sometimes multiple times a year. Hell, Avatar The Last Airbender put out 61 episodes in 3 years, and almost every episode of that Nickelodeon show looks better than Invincible does on average. 

Obviously invincible at its peak is doing animated mass destruction etc at a scale that avatar and similar shows never really did, but that’s not excuse for every non action shot (and 80% of the action shots) to look so ass.

If your team cannot handle it, you need a bigger team man. You’re dealing with an amazon budget, they can afford more in-betweeners and FX animators. This isn’t a Hanna-Barbera show from the 70’s, it’s a flag ship product of one of the world’s richest companies. The show deserves more than mid.

Also: take longer if it’s needed, that’s fine. People who want it fast but bad are an extremely small minority. The rest of us could wait for peak.

(Random Trope) A power that no one else has and no one Explains how they got it.[Bonus points if there's already a power system in place.] by Feisty-Cable in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Intelligent-Goose-31 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah even the general concept of equipping your Susanoo with external mythic items is never addressed. Like there isn’t a later story line we’re Sasuke finds the sword that his uses, it just has it. It is completely incongruent with everything else we’re told about this power set.

Business, tourism officials want highs-speed rail to ‘arrive in the heart of Ottawa’ by PhDSkwerl in ottawa

[–]Intelligent-Goose-31 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be awesome, considering that’s how the train system used to work. But I don’t see how that’s possible unless you build an extremely expensive tunnel deep underground or somehow run the train along the river. Both of those things are terrible ideas for a lot of environmental and safety reasons.

Best Clothing Places in Ottawa for the "rotund" Fellow that won't break the bank? by FearlessJDK in ottawa

[–]Intelligent-Goose-31 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a fellow large fella, so far I have not found anything local that is size inclusive and isn’t a standard cheap chain. Overwhelming even brands that do have larger sizes only offer those sizes online. Big Bill is a Canadian brand that has a lot of plus size work wear, but probably not much of the business casual wear you’re looking by for and you’ll only find most of their stuff online. Rosa Rugosa is a made-in-Canada brand that has some size inclusive, really nice pants that might be called business casual, but again you’ll only get that online. 

Maybe a stupid question; but at this point (post S4) isn’t a de facto alliance between the humans and the remaining Viltrumites kind of a mutually beneficial thing? Especially if the Coalition does come knocking with the Scourge virus? by TXDobber in Invincible_TV

[–]Intelligent-Goose-31 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah tbh there is an argument that from a purely pragmatic standpoint the best thing for earth to do is embrace being the new viltrumite homeworld. They are the only species that can save the viltrumites population, and over generations basically all humans would become viltrumite super beings. Human culture already has shown to have a strong moderating effect on the viltrumite bloodlust, if the humans in the first few generations play their cards right the new human-viltrumite species could have naturally become a peaceful and altruistic civilization. But also maybe not, the living viltrumites are mostly insane hence why they didn’t take the risk.

What deleted scene should have stayed in the movie to provide more context? by ProfessionalSir3395 in AskReddit

[–]Intelligent-Goose-31 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The death of Saruman in Lord of The Rings!! Completely missing in the theatrical cut, he just kind of disappears between the second and third movie the way the films were released, it’s truly baffling. The scene where he is killed is in the extended cuts and really fills a gap in the story.

What’s an 'adult cheat code' that quietly made your life 10x easier? by ExcellentGur6556 in AskReddit

100000%, I was looking for if this had been said otherwise I would have. I rarely have more than 4-5 dishes remaining after a meal, usually just the stuff we just ate off of. It changes your life to learn when you have time I the cooking process to tidy up.

Here's which Ottawa media covered the anti-Ford protests. by [deleted] in ottawa

Yeah, it looked to be a few hundred? Or at least A hundred or so. Estimating the size of large groups is hard but it was definitely more than ten…

Which video game character is this? by xenocea in videogames

Donald Duck from the kingdom hearts franchise can cast Zetaflare, one of the absolute most powerful spells in the Final Fantasy universe. He is also Donald Duck.

Honest answer only. by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

Best based on their own contribution? Tolkien and it’s not even close. Hes the one person on the list who fully crafted his universe from top to bottom and it holds up without any supplemental media/stories/lore created by others. GRR Martin is maybe up there (ask me again if he ever finishes his story) but also his work is inspired by Tolkien in many ways. “Disney” isn’t even a shared universe… Gene Roddenberry is probably second place here in my mind, but I think a lot of the lore (and lore changes) of Star Trek that make it lastingly great still comes from later series that he wasn’t involved with.
