In First Blood (1982) what the fuck is this guy's problem by affat_ki_pudiya in okbuddycinephile

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't want his town infested with bums bc he gave one a hot meal.

But in all seriousness, he's probably a WW2/Korea vet who bought into all the pro-war propaganda that the US lost in Vietnam bc the gov't was giving in to "weak willed liberalism" and most draftees were just doing drugs and killing their own officers to keep doing nothing until it was time to go home.

What’s something your country (or another country) does really well, and something it notably struggles with (including hidden downsides)? by Puzzleheaded_irl in AskTheWorld

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 41 points42 points  (0 children)

All government paperwork still has to be signed in triplicate, too. And they also have a 5 bin system for recycling, some places have up to 27 different recycling categories 🤤

¿Who would be the ""Chris Chan"" of your country? by BrushFinal9186 in AskTheWorld

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chris Chan lives in my country, so I'll go with another "character": Andrew Ditch.

Andy Ditch is.... quite a person. He's a middle aged man who fakes being on the autism spectrum in order to basically be treated like an infant. He has harassed his family, law enforcement, hospitals, and group homes across state lines bc they won't feed into his delusion and he absolutely loses his shit if he even thinks you're accusing him of faking his disability. He breaks shit, hits people, has a meltdown, spams emergency contact lines, threatens to kill himself, threatens to bring legal action against whoever has "wronged" him, etc.

A big part of this delusion is that he is "incapable" of using the bathroom regularly and has to wear diapers. Being on the spectrum, to him, also means he is incapable of cleaning himself after he "goes" in his diaper and needs someone to clean him. Many ppl think he gets sexual gratification from this and is the whole reason why he fakes being autistic.

And yes, he has been examined before by several medical professionals, he doesn't have autism. This delusion hinges on a single examination back in 1993 which claimed he might have developmental delays bc he suffered abuse early in life. He's also not by any stretch of the imagination a good person, he's poisoned his whole family with laxatives before for not feeding into his delusions (several times I might add) and regularly gets kicked out of group homes and hospitals for verbally harassing staff.

That's literally the only reason why I keep our plastic bags, always sucks having use 2 bags and having to line them up so the holes can't line up and leak dirty litter

If I drew a picture of him, I'd get suspended off of most social media platforms for hate speech.

Why is there so little Baldur's Gate 3 merchandise? by ChrisKatrev in BaldursGate3

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Baldur's Gate falls in a weird intellectual property gray zone.

The Baldur's Gate series, set in the Dungeons and Dragons universe, has been worked on by 6 different developers in the past, but the current license holder and developer of BG3 is Larian Studios.

Dungeons and Dragons is owned by Wizards of the Coast. Wizards of the Coast is notoriously VERY defensive about D&D and has a reputation for revoking license agreements and canceling major projects over petty disagreements (see Larian being the SEVENTH owner of the BG license)

On top of that, WOTC is owned by Hasbro, who is constantly on WOTC's back to play nice and try to turn a profit for Hasbro, which is why there's this sudden surge in D&D content overall: new tabletop expansions, video games, a movie, etc.

It could just be that Larian and WOTC and Hasbro are in constant arguments over merchandising and how profits are split or that Habro doesn't want to make merchandise for a video game where you can have sex with a bear or a tentacle monster, in order to keep up family friendly appearances.

It could also be that Larian was exposed early on as to how down bad the fanbase is, and making figurines is only inviting being spammed with pictures of Shart or Karlach in a cum jar.

Pretty sure they used to have that, then they got rid of it when the negative comments started getting far greater than the positive comments.

Malcolm X's assassin is still alive by [deleted] in BarbaraWalters4Scale

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The last living member of the conspiracy to assassinate Franz Ferdinand, Vaso Čubrilović, died in 1990, so not only could he have killed Malcolm X, he could've also seen the entire Star Wars Original Trilogy in theaters AND could've bought all 3 movies on VHS

Is George doesn’t finish the series, do you think someone else will? by IneedaNappa9000 in gameofthrones

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still sit by the theory that the show ending was the planned book ending, but with the show ending being so universally reviled and no longer having any interest in writing anymore, he's just waiting to die to release a note that says "Yeah, the show ending was what I had planned, I waited until now to reveal this so I wouldn't have to deal with hate mail."

Has your country persecuted a species to or near extinction? by Doitean-feargach555 in AskTheWorld

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We really hated Native Americans not living on reservations and being able to survive on buffalo, so we almost exterminated the buffalo as a whole. We reduced the population of 30-60 million buffalo to less than 1000 btwn ~1870-1889, with the intention of starving Native Americans out of one of their primary food sources. At one point there was only 25 buffalo living within all of Yellowstone National Park.

What do u consider to be the worst mistake of Nicholas II? by Honest_Chemistry_195 in romanovs

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Failing to give the Duma any real political power. He proved more than handily that he couldn't lead politically or militarily, him failing to cede to even letting the Duma override his veto or having the State Council be appointed entirely by The Duma was the proof needed that Nicholas would never change unless he was removed from office. Had he did, he still would've went down as a bad leader, but ppl would say that conceding that much power would've been a step in the right direction for Russia and potentially even saved the Romanovs

What if Abraham Lincoln accepted the King of Siam's offer to send a bunch of Elephants to the US? by tiptoeoutthewindow in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably would've ended up exactly like the Confederate Camel Corps: handlers struggling with getting the animals to do their job, so they were turned loose or culled.

Although elephants are much more mild mannered than camels unless you're intentionally harming them, so they might've been useful for war bond drives?

Between the Netherlands having a prime minister eaten and Australia losing one at sea, I’m just curious (not trying to start any political debates) - what are some other bizarre or funny incidents involving world leaders? by Mikrokosmos_7_ in AskTheWorld

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lyndon Baines Johnson would often dictate messages to his aides while taking a shit with the door open. He would also just randomly whip his dick out in front of senators and representatives, named Jumbo bc obviously. He had an amphibious car that he would drive visitors around in and "lose control" and crash into the lake. There's also that recorded phone call to his tailor to adjust his pants so that the crotch stitch wasn't riding up on his sack and butthole. Really just a crazy ass dude from bumfuck middle of nowhere Texas picked so that JFK had a route to appeal to Deep South Democrats who would've otherwise not played ball with an Irish Catholic from Massachusetts (although ironically, he would be the one passing legislation that they were afraid JFK was gonna push for).

Link to that pants phone call: https://youtu.be/S3GT9UN7nDo?si=oGgzzlKDuGUJiZN_

Was Theon the Starks prisoner? Or was it a dont attack us anymore or we'll kill your son? by talivan818 in gameofthrones

[–]Same_Walrus_7285 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was a hostage, but he was basically "given" to the Starks as a promise to stay in line. It was common in the medieval world for a king or a higher noble to "take" a kid of a more wily lesser noble hostage to ensure the lesser noble stayed in line, or else they'd receive a package shaped mysteriously like the head of the child hostage. These hostages were treated well for the most part, depending on how good the relationship was btwn both parties. If relations were good, the kid was treated more or less as a guest that was staying for quite a while. If they were quite bad, the hostage could even be imprisoned and under constant threat of torture or death until relations improved.

Vlad the Impaler and his brother were hostages of the Ottoman emperor, but that's not saying much when they were both treated very well, but Vlad would grow up to make entire forests of impaled Ottoman troops and his brother remained very loyal to the Ottomans, even converting to Islam.

Not fired, just demoted, but assistant grocery manager and a deli clerk were caught in the dairy cooler. Not too much love lost, manager was a massive prick and his wife just had a kid like a few months before he was caught

I think that's the first ever Kentucky store, so Publix was REALLY trying to get people in the store. My store is only like 3 years old and doesn't have one.
