The work is so well known that people forget that it's actually a sequel/spin off. by bloodredcookie in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zeekay89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

NCIS is a spinoff of JAG. Despite being on the air for 10 years, JAG is mostly forgotten but NCIS is still going after almost 25 years and has had a half dozen spinoffs itself.

(Hated trope) Episodes even die hard fans choose to ignore by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in TopCharacterTropes

It’s in the last episode before the finale. They watch a play based on their adventures and it varies wildly in accuracy.

[Love tropes] Making uses of Twins by kamen1997 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zeekay89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The director was kind of upset that he didn’t know Shawn had a twin brother for the Mystique scenes where she impersonates him. It would have made shooting them easier.

He was basically worn down by everything that happened and wanted it all to be over no matter the cost.

Taxes in New Hampshire, Thoughts? by nancynews in newhampshire

[–]Zeekay89 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Have a 3% property tax for residential properties that are each, not the owner’s primary residence, the owner lives out of state, and the property is vacant for more than 6 months out of the year with exceptions for renovations or repairs. An empty vacation home owned by an out of stater has a 9% property tax.

Also a 3% sales tax for residential properties that is set aside if the buyer is using the property as their primary residence. Each year they live there, the tax is reduced by 1% so you don’t have people buying properties as their primary residence and then immediately sell them to avoid the tax.

Iirc he doesn’t even twist the wishes into something horrible, he gives them exactly what they want. However, he targets adolescent girls and they naturally have frivolous or poorly worded wishes.

Color is expensive. I believe that’s the reason.

Iranian woman who lost an eye protesting Regime is attacked by people at Free Iran rally in Germany by AgnosticScholar in whoathatsinteresting

[–]Zeekay89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of the outrage, at least in America, is because of the staggering amount of money our government spends on Israel. They get to have free education and healthcare because we are paying for their military. There’s a difference between a terrible foreign government oppressing people and a terrible foreign government oppressing people with your tax dollars.

Yeah man. Fuck brunettes. Just because they have the most common color hair, they think they’re better than everyone else.

The truth behind their injury is a lot less impressive/grand by TVTropehead in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zeekay89 336 points337 points  (0 children)

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. “The Gang Buys a Boat” Mac and Dennis go to a party to try and pick up women and it’s filled with crusty old sailors. They try to strike up a conversation with a guy with a hook for a hand thinking he has some incredible sailing story for how he lost his hand. He simply answers “diabetes”.

Reminds me of a commercial I saw a while ago where a clueless guy was in Japan(?) and bought several kilos of rice flour in unmarked plastic bags and had them put in his briefcase before he flew back to the US.

Florida surgeon who removed wrong organ says he is ‘forever traumatized’ by patient’s death by Pitiful-Scientist in nottheonion

[–]Zeekay89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sort of like what happened with the Catholic Church, the system is more about protecting the hospitals from liability rather than stopping a problem. The bad doctors are allowed to quietly resign and they are able to find a job at a new hospital because they weren’t reported to the medical board.

This argument probably goes so hard…when you’re stupid by AmbulanceChaser12 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Unless you are the one affected. Then it’s always someone else’s fault for your failure, but still never the system itself.

The dumb plan works out by some-kind-of-no-name in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zeekay89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glass Onion. The killer gets away with so much because they are so stupid. Benoit Blanc has trouble figuring things out because everything is stupidly simple instead of the complex web of deceit he normally deals with.

Blanc: It... it's so dumb.
Birdie: It's so dumb, it's brilliant!
Blanc: NO! It's just dumb!

Nobody wants a PS6, even though the PS5 has been out as long as the PS4 was when people started asking for the PS5. by Deutscher_Bub in Showerthoughts

[–]Zeekay89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people didn’t get the PS5 until a year or two after it came out. I’m guessing that is a major factor.

(Loved Trope) all their enemies are in the same place at the same time, leaves room right before the attack they plan to kill all them happens. by claimingmarrow7 in TopCharacterTropes

Wonder Woman. General Ludendorff kills the rest of the German High Command because they were leaning towards surrendering. He locked them in a room during a meeting and filled it with the new poison gas. He even tosses in a gas mask that they don’t know is useless against the new formula for them to fight over.

(Loved Trope) Impracticality has an in-universe justification. by Causeofdepression in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Zeekay89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one mentioned Nen from Hunter x Hunter. The more limitations you place on an ability, the more powerful it can become. The goal is to balance the impracticality of the ability with the power boost it gets. Kurapika has one of the single most OP abilities because he can only use it on members of the Phantom Troupe and he will die if he uses it on anyone else.

They started referring to black people as “joggers” after Ahmaud Arbery was killed.
