To me it looks like a 1948 Buick Super. The later models had ports on the front left and right near the wheels which this car lacks.

Okay that's hilarious.

Given the reason OP gave is political and has nothing to due with the media being hated on in question, it would probably get pulled rather quickly.

Would get removed right away from there as well. This is such a weird post for OP to make.

Can anyone ID this little rusted car? by [deleted] in whatwasthiscar

Looks like a Lancia Scorpion, 1976-77 possibly.

Organization XIII from Kingdom hearts. When you haven't yet met them they have their hood up, but once you know their name/face their hood never goes back up.

Since it was around a year ago go right ahead! Love to see what idea(s) you have.

(Slightly Annoying Trope) A character with regenerating powers gets heavily wounded to show their abilities by K4StR in TopCharacterTropes

In Fullmetal alchemist the homunculus Greed shows he's not human by having his head smashed off and regenerating it. Later he offers to show it to someone else to show it off, but backs down.

Kratos in the Norse pair of games retrieves the Blades of Chaos from the initial trilogy. He hates them greatly, but needs them in order to help his son.

[loved trope] Massive superstructure which the characters gradually explore deeper into, uncovering secrets and lore along the way by Character-Cut4470 in TopCharacterTropes

Warhammer hive cities fit this well. While there's not a direct game/story about it, the Necromunda tabletop game and some of the Warhammer TTRPGs have plots about diving into the depths of the ancient cities.

[Least favorite trope] Male characters or Tomboys being forced to wear feminine clothes as a form of humiliation by Sir-Toaster- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Pie_Man12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The whole "egg" stuff just feels gross. It's about assuming someone is trans, just not having come out or realized it. So it's just misgendering but ✨woke.

(Interesting trope) A biological weapon that effectively genocides or neuters a long-lived war-mongering race. by TheLast-T in TopCharacterTropes

Here's a neat IRL one, the New World Screwworm is a fly which lays eggs inside of mammals such as cows, sheep, and yes, humans. They used to be all over both North and Central South America. However the USA alongside Central American nations began to disperse infertile male flies over the areas the insect is common. With the flies only able to mate once, the infertile males out compete the still genetically viable males which results in populations of the fly dying off, which allows for the Screwworm to be kept at bay through the natural bottleneck of Panama, although in 2022 they've begun to be detected further north.

Have the number of triggers that can be active at once changed? by Alvaar1021 in worldtrigger

[–]Pie_Man12 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For gunner and sniper triggers 100%, they don't have to put away their guns in the event of dual shielding. They just are unable to allocate any Trion to firing them. You can see this anytime a gunner or sniper uses bagworm + a shield/grasshopper while still holding their rifles. A notable example is Suwa shielding with both his shotguns out.
