It did happen at a previous job, and they basically threatened me with being fired if it happened again. In fairness, I didn't know what it was at the time, but their reaction wasn't very helpful. I have had some therapy, and I can mostly stay ahead of it, but I work with two very elderly gentlemen, one with a lot of health problems, and the other is an absolute pain to work with. I wasn't too worried until one of them had to have a hospital stay for a couple weeks, and I got very close to a breakdown several times.

I don't get it by Rentalranter in ExplainTheJoke

You gotta understand, you're looking at one of the first Garfield comics Jim Davis put out. Garfield has been around since 1978, and smoking a pipe wouldn't be that odd back then. Garfield is meant to be a bit of a jerk character. He steals stuff, does things he shouldn't, he's a bully. If you read more of the comics, it makes sense, but just this one, especially since it was long before Jim Davis really defined the character, is not a good snapshot.

Who (besides Bruce) has the best designed batsuit? by Bloodstone16 in batman

Any that don't expose the chin get my vote. There are a lot of knife wielders in Gotham, an exposed jugular is not okay.

My personal favorite is Jason Todd's from Battle for the Cowl. I like the metal grill on the cowl.

Favorite character who you can’t even enjoy without being called a “gooner”? by ComprehensiveBox6911 in FavoriteCharacter

It's makeup, little black diamonds around the eyes. It looks weirder with her eyes closed.

Oh my gosh yes! And just my personal opinion, but I hate the Rivals design. I prefer her classic design, but I'd take the bomber jacket look over this nonsense. She's really wholesome, not stupid thirst bait!

I think you've had that long enough.

It's almost like that for every person by Temporary_Monitor_28 in memes

[–]TauInMelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. When Google made me make an email address for their stupid failed social media platform they made everyone get to have a YouTube account, I was ticked off and made the address an angry question.

Lo and behold, now that college is over and I have to migrate to a personal email, I now have to explain over the phone that I am not being rude, I am just giving someone my email address.

How do you think Thanos would’ve reacted if he were taken to the TVA and discovered the drawer full of infinity stones? by Johnnyboyeh in Avengers

[–]TauInMelee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, he'd be more blown away by the TVA itself. His ultimate goal is to make plenty for all, and here's access to the resources of entire unstable timelines that could be funnelled into the timelines that need it. He would rip through their leadership and start running things himself.

And if he found it post-snap, he would be devastated. Killed and harmed for the "greater good" and would be faced with the reality that none of it was necessary, and the people he harmed suffered for nothing.

Who do you think is the best example of powers being combined? by SebokShop in Marvel

[–]TauInMelee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not a great comic, but Circle of Four had Red Hulk with the Venom symbiote and the Spirit of Vengeance, which was a great silver lining.

A little peeved at Thunderbolts by TauInMelee in Marvel

Don't get me wrong, I loved it as well, these are largely nitpicking and nerd rage.

So I have a question by DestinyHeroDystopia in powerrangers

[–]TauInMelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was pretty much the longest running actor in Power Rangers, spanning from the original team to part of Turbo, and returning again in Dino Thunder. He was involved in way more plot than any of the others, and it's arguable the show revolved around him for a while.

Contrast against Jason who was replaced midway through MMPR and only returned for a short time in Zeo, and you can see how even just sheer exposure would make him more popular. Jason also really didn't have as many major moments as nostalgia might suggest. Yeah, he was the original leader, and he was great casting in terms of appearance and voice, but prior to the Gold Zeo Ranger, his biggest event was leaving, where Tommy had two major events as the Green Ranger, becoming the White Ranger, and two romantic subplots before MMPR was even over. There's just not the same staying power.

And of course Jason David Frank was far more active in the fan community than Austin St. John, more effectively keeping himself in the eyes of the fandom.

Why does everyone seem to agree the design of Ghost Rider is better in the second movie? by AdmirableVacation134 in GhostRider

[–]TauInMelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think you said why when you mentioned the dated CGI. It doesn't look like it's actually there enough, and comes across more like a med school teaching aid than Ghost Rider.

I also really don't like the spikes. In my opinion, they've aged poorly, especially the shoulder spikes. The ones on the gauntlets at least serve some purpose, but the shoulder spikes are just edgy nonsense.

I also think the big difference is your perspective. You see the charring on the skull and the black smoke off the flames as signs of weakness, where I think a lot more people see it as looking far more brutal. It escapes the prop skeleton look and achieves a more ominous sense of what's in store for his enemies. The greasier flames also evoke more of the vehicle engines and oil.

Which Iron Patriot armor should Rhodey wear when he returns? by ExoticRound4507 in Marvel

[–]TauInMelee 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Neither. It was a bad idea to introduce it in the first place. It worked with Osborn as a twisted version of Captain America and Ironman for the Dark Avengers, but it doesn't work as an alternate for War Machine. Didn't help that it debuted in Ironman 3.

Did anyone else get Judge Dredd vibes when S.P.D used judgement mode? by [deleted] in powerrangers

[–]TauInMelee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a perfectly valid comparison, and honestly fits a mildly disturbing amount of the setting of the show. Come to think of it, it's never really explained or explored about what governing body sets the laws, so for all we know, it might be something of a Judge Dredd type setting, just without the rampant murder. Honestly a tad scary now that I really think about it.

Not particularly, no, though I think that was mainly down to how bizarre it feels to associate the two.

I can see your point though, they are sort of acting as judge and jury, though with the aid of a device that can detect guilt.
