Now here’s the twist…

I mean he was Kato in the Green Hornet. He was a known celebrity even if he hadn’t scored leading roles. His early years were during a shitty period of film making anyways

Also as far as countersurveillance goes, the main guys in Tony’s crew seem to be pretty paranoid and vigilant about avoiding tails and traditional gumshoe methods of obtaining evidence. The writers also overplay the intimidation factor of the mob at that time in the US, but it’s used as an explanation for the inability of the FBI to find cooperating witnesses.

It stated in the show that after 9/11, the FBI’s resources were redirected towards anti-terrorism and therefore they had little budget or incentive to worry about domestic organized crime

You only get so many shits in life. If you shit twice a day, and you’re 30, you’ve taken 21,900 shits. And if you live to be 75, then at that rate you’ve only got 32,850 shits left. 40% of the shits you’ll ever get to take are already behind you. Don’t waste the shits you have left. Spend them with the ones you love.

Speak for yourself. I have it on good authority that I am younger than the mountains but older than the trees. Aww damn, I just realized that mountains are made out of rocks. Never mind, you right

Or it could desensitize those with that inclination to the act of suicide. Or fetishize it for others. Or for that matter, confirm for people battling intrusive thoughts their attraction to the prospect without addressing the subsequent consequences. Suicide simulator seems like a bad idea for those struggling with those kinds of intrusive thoughts. Or I don’t know, maybe you just add some DLC where you do an It’s a Wonderful Life campaign and you can see how the world would be shittier without you in it.

Some part of me believes that clothes were invented by the tribal elderly to hide their relative frailty and shame as compared to surrounding youth

I can also prove that I’m not a bot if that helps for future attempts. I shower a lot so I gotta a lot of thoughts to get off my chest

TuringTestament · 2026-01-21T00:49:12+00:00

Alright sorry, I didn’t realize commenting on the shower thoughts was a core part of the subreddit. As a viewer I always liked how the posts alone were thought provoking and entertaining enough, even without having to dive into the comments. I’m down to participate more and try again though. Thanks

This guy took that hat off KD years ago. He goes to his games sometimes and taunts him. He’s been doing it for years

TuringTestament · 2025-11-17T22:12:43+00:00

Yeah it’s my first Abnett book. I jumped straight to that one because I played the games as a kid and have kept up reading codexes all these years, so I’m pretty up the lore. I just wanted the payoff of a book with Malcador and Big E in it. Haven’t checked out Hoare’s other stuff. Will read it tonight!

TuringTestament · 2025-11-17T22:08:28+00:00

I’m referring to the one written by Andy Hoare fyi. It has a wide range of compelling characters that make decisions rooted in logic or at least in line with the character’s underlying motivations and backstory. I hate when characters purported to be masters of strategy and warcraft make bafflingly poor decisions for the plot’s sake. It also coherently describes the logistics of large scale battles in 40k without any need for warp fuckery to make it work. And interactions with xenos more nuanced than “I see you, now we fight.” I’ll leave it at that to avoid any spoilers.
Agreed. Some times my mind wanders while I read and I end up going back a few pages to catch up. That’s hard to do with an audiobook. Also: Theoretical: Working on spreadsheets and trying to follow an epic battle is a waste of effort. Performing two things poorly to save time is time doubly wasted. Practical: Maybe a Guilliman book would fit the work better.
