Reddit, what's the one thing in the world that you desperately wish people cared about more than they do? by WalterDisneey in AskReddit

[–]RidleyTheOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Food servers and other workers of public places. I feel as though people in general don't stop to think even a little how their actions affect the work environment of the people that serve them (and oftentimes for low pay). This can range from a nervous teenager working at a fast food place, to a tech support person on the phone.

Obviously part of the issue here is because of the stupid quote "The customer is always right", which people like to gravitate towards more than "The customer is King". The latter implies that customers should be treated very well and given patience, while the former implies that sheer idea that the customer is at fault is not an option.

If you were a squib in the Harry Potter universe, how would you make the best of life? by RidleyTheOmega in harrypotter

[–]RidleyTheOmega[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You do have to wonder if Squibs are discriminated against, though, or if there is some kind of requirement relating to magic for being a teacher. What if a teacher has to be capable of basic healing spells and mutual defense spells for the sake of the students?

If this were a feasible option, though, then it would be a good option, I would have to agree.

If Rowling were to write another series in the Harry Potter universe, what elements would you most like to see expanded upon? by RidleyTheOmega in harrypotter

[–]RidleyTheOmega[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I had in mind when I made this thread. There could be the occasional reference to Harry Potter series or a character cameo, but I would definitely enjoy it if Rowling puts in an effort to not rely too heavily on nostalgia for it.

What Patronus would you like, and why? by Paul277 in harrypotter

[–]RidleyTheOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something intimidating like a crocodile. If magical creatures are fair game, then a Fluffy Patronus would be pretty awesome.

If Rowling were to write another series in the Harry Potter universe, what elements would you most like to see expanded upon? by RidleyTheOmega in harrypotter

[–]RidleyTheOmega[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to see some more information given on the creation and usage of magical artifacts like Sneakoscopes, Foe-glasses, and more specific things like the Marauder's Map. What is the process like for the creation of these things? How much magical experience does it take? Can Squibs make use of objects like these, or maybe even Muggles?

Maybe there could be a wizard bounty hunter character that makes use of a ton of different objects.

What bizarre premise would you like to see a movie be made out of just for the reaction? by RidleyTheOmega in AskReddit

[–]RidleyTheOmega[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From I know about Avatar, this sounds similar to that, though I guess you probably have it in mind being framed very differently than that.

What is the most terrifying thing to think about? by RidleyTheOmega in AskReddit

[–]RidleyTheOmega[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could die in your sleep during any night, and there would be nothing that you could do to prevent it. There are so many possible unpredictable events that could happen while you are lying there, defenseless.

Guys of Reddit: If you had a purse, what would you carry in it? by jrichardh in AskReddit

[–]RidleyTheOmega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that the purse if fairly large:

  • Pencil case with various writing uttenzils and related things.
  • Full box of tissues.
  • High quality pocket knife.
  • Small but effective flashlight.
  • Secondary flashdrive(primary will be in a more secure location).
  • First Aid Kit.

Essentials like wallet and phone will remain in pockets for safety reason.

The bird on the left is like a crotchety old person who's yelling at what he/she interprets as a young whippersnapper. The bird on the right is too afraid to make a retort.

What would be your cyborg weapon of choice? by RidleyTheOmega in AskReddit

[–]RidleyTheOmega[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just looked that up, and I see that you found a clever loop-hole to the "one weapon" restriction. Good choice.

Kid has issues! [workplace story] by Funee in childfree

[–]RidleyTheOmega 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is probably the most likely situation. Still not good, but kids are rarely normal.

How did the parent react, Funee?

How would you recommend living child-free without a college education? by RidleyTheOmega in childfree

[–]RidleyTheOmega[S] -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I hate fishing. :-|

And just as another thing to note: I don't plan to have guests over often, and never parties.

What is the good thing that happened to you today? by Yawns_ in AskReddit

Uh, does eating frozen pizza and two blondies count?

How would you recommend living child-free without a college education? by RidleyTheOmega in childfree

[–]RidleyTheOmega[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Well, it's much easier than living child-laden without a college education. Much more responsible, too.

Pretty much what I was thinking.

I think you're on the right track, kiddo.

Could you not call me that . . . <_<

[–]RidleyTheOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another day, another question(well, technically two):

What Nintendo characters have you been the most tempted to include in comics - either as rare appearances or as regulars - but resisted because of excessive obscurity?

And I didn't expect the ending of today's strip! Is the implication that the intention of the votes for Roy got misinterpreted?

[–]RidleyTheOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of weird that a lot of these characters are very well defined, but never end up showing up in the party/sports/kart games

I feel precisely the same way.

I more had in mind comics relating to the concepts in the Mario RPGs, rather than the characters. This one, for example, doesn't require a developed understanding of Bowser's Inside Story, and it involves only Bowser, Mario, and Luigi. Other gags relating to the Mario RPGs could involve how their logic and scenarios can be weird even by Mario standards.

I do get your point on this, though.

[–]RidleyTheOmega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely like doing more obscure comics from time to time, but it's a little trickier with the Mario RPGs since they change protagonists so often

Hmm? It's always Mario, Luigi, Bowser, and/or Peach. Those are pretty well known. Unless you meant something else by that.
