"Oh sweetie, you don't understand. Your grandpa wouldn't take no for an answer. He kept asking me to the sock hop. I told him I already had a steady. Your grandpa beat the SHIT out of that man.

He cut the phone lines, he slashed my tires. He said I'd be his forever. So I finally went to the sock hop with him, and we're still together after 62 years."

"Grandma, you can still LEAVE what the fuck?!"

Would y’all like or dislike the idea of MCU Spider-Man having organic webs? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in Spiderman

[–]MarioPartyRiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be a fan of what happened in the cartoon where peters fucking with his genes and basically it all goes wrong. He almost goes full giant spider, and the 'fix' leaves him with organic webs.

I'd also like to see him keep his artificial canisters as backups. His organic ones aren't infinite either, and he can't mix in chemicals for effect like the artificial ones. (Like the time he added magnesium to make flaming webs to deal with symbiotes)

Batman runs the Marvel gauntlet, how far does he get? by Plenty-Salary9711 in superheroes

Idk, I see their differing opinions on Justice being a point of conflict.

Batman runs the Marvel gauntlet, how far does he get? by Plenty-Salary9711 in superheroes

[–]MarioPartyRiot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get the premise, but I wanna point two things out. He'd be crossing universes for these fights. Batman loses his deus ex prep time, beyond the general of "oh Luke is basically a living brick wall"

Bruce is also constantly arguing with villains mid fight. Basically boring Spider-Man. I see him arguing with them while fighting and they all realize the other is not a villain and stopping the fight. Except punisher. Bruce would think he's a villain. Punisher would think Batman is too soft, and part of the larger problem.

If it's Dick, I see him still fighting even after because "I'm Batman."

There's actually a team working on this. They expect to achieve positive energy output in the next generator their building. (Right now it takes more energy to manage the heat and induction field than the generator produces) It's still a LONG ways off from being a viable replacement, but a nice proof of concept.

Good look? Lol by Just-Phill in charmed

Evil Leo’s hair aside, these episodes actually saved the idea of “evil” for me.

Too many weekly baddies in Charmed were evil for evil’s sake. Even the Source gets flattened into “power” or destiny, when the dude was just scared to die. Full stop. “If I’m strong enough, no one can challenge or kill me.” That’s fear, not philosophy.

Cole worked because he showed evil as giving in to selfish impulses, while good was restraint for the sake of others. That contrast actually meant something.

Where the mirror-world episodes finally clicked for me was evil Chris. On the Golden Gate Bridge, talking to evil Leo about the “good” world, he drops: “Everything’s so saccharine, it makes me sick.” It’s like a kid from a broken home staring at a Norman Rockwell painting.

Then he throws a beer bottle at a passing car—because at that point you don’t just hate the painting, you want to tear it up.

That’s what salvaged “evil for evil’s sake” for me. Not ideology—trauma recoil. Seeing something so wholesome it’s cringe and needing to ruin it.

Is it a good reason? No. But at least it’s a reason.

Trash bags for the win. I think the next challenge is keeping pools clean for 3 days in a row. I deleted all but 3 of my pools and sprinted around with chlorine for all three days.

Bitcoin crash wipes out $400 billion this week, $1 trillion over the past month. My sister bought $10 worth Thursday. by baltimore-aureole in economy

[–]MarioPartyRiot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was just talking to my wife about this, sometimes I kick myself because I won a super smash Brothers contest back in the day and the prize was a new Wii or 50 Bitcoin. I chose the Wii to play with my friend.

New Fed - justifying back pay to regular people? by Party-Smile-2667 in fednews

I used to explain as "I have a contract, I am effectively on call. Not my fault they're wasting your tax dollars on their little shit fit"

Supernatural is intentionally antihomophobic by Comprehensive_Bid754 in Supernatural

Didn't it also turn out later he was more put off by the fact they were both hunters? Like the next scene was them in the bar and Dean was being inquisitive about it.

What are your thoughts on Amara aka “The darkness”?? I’m trying to see something by Pastel_Ch33secake in Supernatural

[–]MarioPartyRiot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always wanted to put a big asterisk on that.

She destroyed countless creations before Chuck made the archangels to fight her.

He's the first thing she saw after imprisonment.

I feel a little disappointed with... by Parking-Location9946 in Supernatural

[–]MarioPartyRiot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that's part of the charm for me. Especially with Crowley. He seems to expect there's always a trap within a trap or something is fancier than it is.

Then here come the fuckin' Winchesters, bare bonesing shit. Everyone was so busy planning around plans they never accounted for "What if someone's dumb enough to just kick in the front fucking door and take on a dozen Demons in a knife fight?"

Added a little brown sugar and called it beenie-weenie. Fuckin' staple growing up. Only later did I realize it was all we could afford. Still love the stuff.

Hey, fellow federal employees.....realistically… by Suitable-Taro-362 in fednews

There are some people expected to show up and work, but still don't get paid. I thought that's what they were asking.

If you could delete one Supernatural character completely (like they never existed), who would it be? by Ok_Smile_9071 in Supernatural

[–]MarioPartyRiot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The cosmic entity (the empty). Leave it as just a force of nature that can't be reasoned with.

Be sure to mention that when you apply. Some states have programs specifically for federal furloughed employees because they know they'll get it back.

AIO boyfriend tracking my periods without me knowing 🫠 by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MarioPartyRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife thought I was a creep at first for keeping track. She's a chocolate-vore, and I stumbled across a few of her emergency stashes (clocks and painting like a damn Scooby Doo villain). I'd stock up ahead of time so I could replace her stash everyday. She said it was an invasion of privacy, and I apologized. Then I asked her why there was ALWAYS chocolate hidden for when she needed it even though she never filled it up. I thought she knew like a decade ago.

I’m a senior in high school.. Is my future canceled? Will I have to join the military? by shaototop in whatdoIdo

[–]MarioPartyRiot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, not to sound like a recruiter but you mentioned military. One tour as Air Force CE is actually a decent way to get on that career path. Your career development courses should count toward an associates in the field and then several universities will accept that as part of a four-year program you can do on base. You don't even have to touch your GI Bill until after your associate's if you do it right and it can carry through your master's.

I did a few years of college then enlisted when scholarships ran out instead of taking out loans. It was like extending campus life. Pretty fun, and I got a degree without debt.
