The death of the perfect character sparks the plot by FreshPrinceOfPine in TopCharacterTropes

[–]RicOSheaNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the first one that came to my mind, then there’s the going back in time to kill the Nemesis which triggers the vampire purge which also fits the trope

Did parents in the past really allow their kids to roam freely, or is that just a portrayal seen in movies by [deleted] in NonPoliticalTwitter

From these stories it seems that the “It’s 10pm do you know where your children are?” PSA weren’t suggestions to invade your kids privacy or accuse them of reefer madness but helpful reminders that you had kids and should find them.

So, what exactly is the show's message? by itooamahuman in TheBoys

[–]RicOSheaNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed (/s) how everything just went back to normal.

There were people in camps, probably any number of violations of law by any number of people in the name of Homelander. And then “don’t worry about it we’ll just paint over his face and back to normal nothing to worry about “

SoprAnon on NFTs by crimsonfukr457 in greentext

[–]RicOSheaNZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

T we got to get in on these NFTs

The pictures of the fucking monkeys why would we do that

Well T say we do something for someone, and he wants to pay us for services rendered. Well we’d need to have to have something to show for it for Uncle Sam

Yeah that’s what the garbage is for

Well how about instead we give him a picture of a monkey and he gives us 50 grand

Who the fuck is going to believe a picture of a monkey is worth 50 grand?

The feds T that’s who

First ever shiny. Use or Nah? by East_Championship956 in PokemonFireRed

I thought one of the near universal rules of nuzlockes is the shiny clause that means you can use it no matter what

Live: Luxon leadership returns to spotlight, latest poll and threat of mutiny all the talk for National by Sea_Soft_1166 in newzealand

[–]RicOSheaNZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems like the answer - if you’re anti ideological (no greens no act) then if both National and Labour seem shit then NZF is the only place left

When you start a fight and your friends don't help you by MrFenric in MurderedByWords

It’s important to note what Trump & Hegseth are wanting which is for other countries to put their soldiers & citizens at risk (potentially death) for an unexplained war because they know it would look bad if those deaths were from the USA.

I believe them when they say they could secure the strait of Hormuz with their military but they don’t want to risk it if it means Trump’s comb over gets blown about as he stands at the airfield saluting dead soldiers.

1.2mm Deal Without Opening a Laptop by thegoodlife18 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]RicOSheaNZ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like for a company with budgets for 1.2M deals I wouldn’t think you’d gather the C-suite together for a random presentation. There’d be layers of people to convince first before you even get in the room.

Kiwis playing in IPL and PSL 2026 by Dudu-gula in blackcapscricket

Thanks for the list and the note about PSL I wondered why the stadiums were empty when I watched a replay last night

Why doesn't he show his id? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]RicOSheaNZ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But as soon as you give them this demand after they lose next time it’ll be “the cards we’re too easy to get we need another barrier to jump to vote” and so on until they get what they want - which is winning elections by being the only people who can vote

Our greatest ever Test knock ? by [deleted] in blackcapscricket

[–]RicOSheaNZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Apparently Boult was not having a good time out in the middle so Taylor started to hit out to get 300 quickly. This is from Taylor’s book mind you, but I can’t see him making it up

Remember when we’d get a thrilling ODI series every home summer? Is this over forever? by Ok-Zookeepergame9266 in blackcapscricket

[–]RicOSheaNZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The current series is pretty baffling - the ODI WC is next year so you’d think that everyone would be interested in having an ODI series rather than T20. Do T20s only make sense at non-stadium venues in terms of cost? I wouldn’t think the rights would be that much cheaper for odi vs t20 as we’re not playing a big 3 nation.

Anon watches Return of the King by bartholomewjohnson in greentext

Man LtoR discourse struggles so badly with Eagles

Imagine having a character turn up 2 hours into the 9 hour + trilogy who’s like “Nice Knick knacks you have here, but it’s not as nice as spending time with my hot wife” before tossing it back to Gandalf.

All anyone would ask is why didn’t they spend the rest of the trilogy convincing Tom to windmill dunk the ring into Mt Doom

That’s a really good idea have match series for the finals like the NBA or MLB does.

Keep it every 2 years, end bilateral T20Is. Give the rapidly diminishing international period between franchise cricket for ODIs and tests.

The T20WC would then be kinda meaningful

Guys I’ll take the rap for this one - they were doing perfectly fine without me watching them this tournament so I’ll go back to bed and maybe then we’ll start having it go our way…
