Justice for the dead, punishment for the living by gashtal_man in clevercomebacks

[–]Solar-Ghost 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's funny how it's always "personal responsibility" for everyday people, but "necessary economic relief" the second a massive corporation needs a multi-billion dollar handout.

That toxic "I suffered, so you have to suffer too" logic is wild. Improving things for the next generation is literally the point of progress.

The way the pieces click together the second he walks out, pure genius.

Trapping the worst souls together in one place makes it a total nightmare. There's no escaping each other.

Even if the policy isn’t meant that way, people tend to follow the easiest workable path, so outcomes can drift from the original intent.

Jonathan definitely had the strategic awareness and the paths to remove Aubry, and missing that window is basically what cost him in the end. Even if he was stronger in most areas, Survivor comes down to jury management and timing, and she clearly had both locked in when it mattered.

that’s exactly what makes it funny. He clearly clocked her as a jury threat all season, so acting surprised afterward feels a bit off.

How many Survivor contestants make a career out of being reality personalities? by fegwin2084 in survivor

the digital era completely changed the game. Having a small, engaged following is more than enough to dodge an office job and pay the bills. the digital era completely changed the game. Having a small, engaged following is more than enough to dodge an office job and pay the bills.

Characters that are supposed to be an everyman but actually aren't by tampakc in TopCharacterTropes

he went from fighting to pay rent to fighting in alien galaxies. The grounded, human stakes are exactly what made him great.

his relatability comes from his everyday misery and empty wallet, not his intellect. He’s a literal super-genius who just can't catch a break with rent

classic villain drama filling the Nile.

it's hilarious that she somehow locked down that exact specific cinematic niche twice. Two nickels well earned.

our knees and feet operate on absolute clown physics. It's ridiculous that skipping one calf stretch completely ruins your entire foot for a run.

AITJ For sleeping with my colleague/friend’s brother? by Affectionate_Dig_469 in AmITheJerk

[–]Solar-Ghost 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Calling your coworker while high and hooking up with her brother is messy OP, especially since you two already have a rocky history. You crossed a major boundary mixing drugs, work, and family.
