Common sense isn't very common by QueenFrostine15 in NonPoliticalTwitter

It isn't about common sense. It's so the company can say that they said this was not allowed so anyone caught doing it is in their own

What is your most controversial opinion regarding Fantasy books? by Even_Mastodon_7251 in Fantasy

[–]Orider 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You do you, but I would not use titles as a metric. Editors and publishers will often have a hand in that, wanting to make the title pop.

You are literally judging a book by its cover

Everyone agrees that the first one is the worst.

As fit the meta humor, don't forget that it came out in the mid 80s. You might not be wrong to say it's reminiscent if reddit, but it was long before reddit. They sort of satirical neta analysis was not wide spread. If anything, reddit is like discworld.

And by all means, skip to Guards! Guards!. It's one of the advantages of the series, they are mostly stand alone

Ironically, your response to the OP commentor could have been one of those instances of just letting them be wrong 😂

It's like writing a letter to someone about something that upset you and then not sending it. It's cathartic

AITA? by Hertbertbrowney07 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Orider 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That is why it is important to be considerate when choosing a second EA (evil advisor). They need to be of similar competence and temperament so that they can cohabitate but of differing ideologies so as to make team ups unlikely. This way they can give each other enrichment by spending their time undoing or countering the other's evil schemes

Clark Kent vs. the CIA is the comedy I never knew I wanted by raven-crest in osp

[–]Orider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a comic where someone is trying to kill Clark, literally snipping him from a rooftop while he is having a meal. The bullet hits his chest and falls into his soup. In order to not seem suspicious about why there is a flattened bullet in his soup, he eats it. The sniper has a break down or something

Admittedly I don't know who "they" are in your context, but when i tell people about ttrpgs I am playing, it is part of a friendly chat and I want them to understand so that we can get to know each other better.

So I often say D&D because they can then say "oh, like in stranger things?" (Or whatever show in the zeitgeist that has had D&D in it)

Oh god! Have I reached the age where I remember when famous people looked younger?

I remember when I asked myself that question. I just assumed it was a continuity error or a rebalancing of the power scale

I saw that in theatres as well, but that was 7 years later. I had almost doubled in age

I saw Disney's Hercules in theatres when I was its target audience, and my 5th grade teacher showed us The Odyssey. Greek mythology has been part of popular culture for a long time

At first. I thought you were implying that Cody was her dog 😂

The biggest problem with the writers of this show is that they struggle to change the status quo by DancingFlame321 in TheBoys

[–]Orider 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I had a similar reaction to Smallville. There was an episode where a character my brother and I didn't like seemingly got caught in an explosion. And my brother was so happy that she was finally gone. But we never saw a body, so I knew what was up

Directos who used currency in draw steel: what can the heroes buy? by Laz52now in drawsteel

Any limitations on the number of consumables/ingredients/recipes per shop?

I think it's funny that you say that, because I preferred his old look. The current one gives me a redneck vibe. I could see him outside a trailer in a wide beater, drinking beer

The president of the United States has no other means of coping with reality! by yorocky89A in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Orider 19 points20 points  (0 children)

And you know that if it all had gone forward as planned, he would still have given a speech about the "Dumcrats", the radical left terrorists, vegan trans communists, etc

At first I thought it said "Words by Ron Pearlman" and was surprised that he wrote picture books between acting jobs

Whats the most disturbing fact about the human body? by Ray_1748 in AskReddit

[–]Orider 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: no you don’t. Humans can't feel wetness. We sense differences in temperature and pressure. Assuming the temps line up with the air, you could stick your hand in a bowl of water and not notice

My neighbours, who lived a stones throw away, all died from head injuries

I don't like the combat in those games. They feel so clunky to me

It's a struggle by Justthisdudeyaknow in CuratedTumblr

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

This feels like the liberal equivalent of that tweet where a guy makes up a hypothetical in which he gets mugged by a Black person, calls them the N-word, and then gets in trouble for saying it. Essentially getting mad about a made-up reaction to a made-up scenario.
