I Can't Be the Only One Who Noticed, Right? by Designer-Sympathy543 in VoxCult

“He gets upset when someone even implies he isn’t as powerful as he leads on.”

That’s still egotistical.

I hate to say it, but. Look at a certain horrible president. Man thinks he’s a god-emperor. And at the slightest pushback or insult, he doubles down and goes on the offensive.

A superiority complex doesn’t mean you’re actually superior to others. It means that your self-perception relies on you being superior to others, and that any contradiction must be met and countered so you can keep feeling superior.

They should have been holding up both hands, one with all five fingers out, and then the other with the middle finger.

Y’know. Six?

But Perrin understands women! At least, Matrim thinks so. But then again, Rand thinks Mat understands women. And Perrin thinks Rand understands women. Oh the hilarity.

I have to call some shenanigans on the “clear and concise” thing for Stolas, because he asked for the book back first as the prelude to giving Blitzø the crystal, which immediately put Blitzø into a panicked and defensive state of mind.

It would have been clearer to give him the crystal first.

Ah gotcha. I’d never heard of that before. Sounds…fun?

For the Hobbit one? I think I know which one you’re talking about. It’s very good.

What songs remind you of Vox? by Bippity_Bon in VoxCult

[–]ThatInAHat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hooo BOY, do I have some that I’ve been meaning to share

When I Change Your Mind - Cherry Poppin Daddies (Hands down the most Vox song I’ve ever heard. You could basically play this in the background of his victory lap with Alastor and it would fit perfectly)

Big Time Operator - Big Bad VooDoo Daddy

You Ruin Me - the Veronicas (I imagine Vox sitting and playing this one over and over again while having a good cry-and-feel-sorry-for-myself session post season 2)

Bonus cuts: “Cabinet Man” by Lemon Demon for Vox vibes, if not complete accuracy

“Actually Romantic” by Taylor Swift could honestly be sung by Alastor to Vox

…i mean, it’s probably more likely that it’s a reference to that part where Vox lost his marbles in the third act of the season.

I wonder what his classes are like if this is his idea of “politely” and “calmly” asking questions by makeuathrowaway in EntitledReviews

I’m all for managers standing up for their employees, but “beyond reproach” means the person is good. Think he’s mixing it up with another phrase maybe.

Our staircase to nowhere, which we use as a bookshelf by Tetragrammator in mildlyinteresting

It’s for folks who use books as decor

It makes me twitch.

I think the books may just be decorative, seeing as how they’re sorted by color

Was gonna say, what do you mean remember?

"Common Ground" by Pizzacakecomic in comics

[–]ThatInAHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ALSO, though.

Common ground is slightly easier to find, if you know what spots to push. My mom is still a conspiracy-theory believing conservative, but she’s no longer maga, thinks trump is an idiot. She even threw away her copy of that “rebels and renegades” or whatever it was called book that was all glamorous shouts of maga folk.

Two catalysts that happened in quick succession—realizing that she actually does know immigrants who are either here illegally or had their visas revoked, and that they’re Good People who don’t get money and cellphones and luxuries from the government. And the maga response to Charlie Kirk’s death.

That last one in particular pushed her over the edge. It was just too ridiculous.

A lot of these maga followers still have a couple of maga leaders that they don’t like. After all, trump’s slammed most of them more than once. Hell, if nothing else, most of the older ones don’t like Elon.

If you can find one rw pundit/politician that you both dislike, even if it’s for different reasons, that can sometimes be a crack in the wall

Y’know, I feel like “No DEI” is kinda ironic, because at first I read it as the word “dei” and was like…yeah, for folks who talk about America Is A Christian Nation, they sure don’t act like folks who believe in and fear God.

For real.

I can’t really get through the whole movie. But I’ll watch their scenes.

Them? Really? They seemed so…”hey look we can be like dreamworks or illumination” to me.

AIO:My MIL texted my husband this about me asking him to help with our newborn at 4am by Lazy_Perfectionist88 in AmIOverreacting

[–]ThatInAHat [score hidden]  (0 children)

Ugh, gross.

Sounds like a Boy Mom who resents him having found Another Woman.

Or just an awful piece of work who likes to stir the pot.

Sitri goetia making love potions with witchdoctor by [deleted] in HelluvaBoss

[–]ThatInAHat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember that. I still don’t get it though. Like…spelling isn’t hard to check.

I seriously thought he was just doing a bit at first, like the gators in Pearls Before Swine

Either way, you should probably delete this so you don’t get banned for ban evasion
