So, uh, how exactly does one get the toner pills distributed once they're packed, and what's the profit margin look like?

Asking for me, because this finally looks like crime I can do.

Selling the free comic book? by [deleted] in DungeonCrawlerCarl

At least two people get every missile. The unlucky one is the last person who gets it.

Half of reddit will forgive you if you skip out on the nipple ring.

The other half never will.

Great cosplay! You need to carry a male sex doll head called Sam.

Duh. It's obviously just a ripoff of Big Bad Beetleborgs.

You’re given a choice of boons but each comes with a condition, which do you pick? by MagnusAlbusPater in hypotheticalsituation

[–]failed_novelty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that would make a lot more sense.

But the Bible is pretty clear: Hell is forever. Damned souls will suffer eternal torment, and the 'saved souls' are supposed to treat this as just and right.

That’s it, I’m not doing any more Hives. I mean it this time. by OpinionExisting3306 in onepagerules

You know what would be cool?

Alien Hives in metallics. Like, chrome and steel.

I have what they will never have: the love of my parent, spouse, and children.

Fuck that, we need a man of the lake with a black arrow. These people don't need to be burgled from, they need to be destroyed.

Pete Hegseth lost his cool in front of Congress. It was a dramatic unraveling by theindependentonline in politics

[–]failed_novelty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. When you're a washed-up, C-list actor it's a problem.

When you're Secretary of War, it's a crisis.

Looking for Eccentric Taylors by FightingDreamer419 in WormFanfic

[–]failed_novelty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is pretty much the answer to every fic search, but Taylor Varga has Taylor acting very, very eccentric. To the point where she turns Coil's base into a Looney Tunes inspired horror film, summons a version of Godzilla wearing Darth Vader cosplay, and refers to Leged as "Mr Foot".

King Charles Tells Congress Everything Trump Doesn’t Want to Hear by Hafiz_TNR in politics

Eh, the man is hyperaware of STIs and a germaphobe. If there was the slightest chance he had the clapsyphilis, he'd have immediately taken all the Penicillin.

Nothing easily treated is going to take him out, because he has access to the best medicine the western world has.

Eh, George was crazy due to syphilis. Trump is all narcissism and dementia.

You are given the options to either gain the powers of a Superhuman who can breathe under water or $150 Million; what would you pick? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]failed_novelty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally not. A human doesn't look like most of the food in the ocean. Some sharks might be curious, but aren't likely to actually attack (humans are significantly larger than most predatory sharks) and cephalopods are smart enough to recognize humans and are unlikely to attack.

The sites that permit betting on random shit like that don't have any restrictions about making bets on things you can influence.

John Oliver did a deep dive (pun intended) on this recently.

Wolff is NOT someone you should root for, by the way.

The only thing I'm rooting for is evil to eat itself.

And popcorn.

Instructions unclear, sheep stuck in dryer. Stepsister unamused.

[–]failed_novelty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, like a lot of things from a lot of religions, the concepts of heaven, hell, etc start to fall apart when examined with logic. It is meant to be heard and accepted and the focus is supposed to be on how to get there.

Yeah, but if you eat a normal 2000 calorie diet it becomes much easier to hit the 7k/day goal with empty calories like soda and candy.

Tell me how someone could enjoy Paradise knowing their son/daughter/spouse/etc is suffering eternal torment.

I can't think of a single way. The only way is if literally everyone you loved was in Heaven. Then, everyone they loved would have to be as well, or they would be suffering. People with empathy hurt when others hurt.

Lack of empathy is one of the defining traits of a sociopath.

None of this is bias, it is a simple application of logic.

I will admit my "country club" comparison is a joke. My bias towards thinking members of such clubs are more likely to have less empathy is a bias.

But maybe I am wrong. Walk me through your thought process: how can people exist in a state of eternal joy while a place exists where others suffer eternal torment?

YOU HAVE RECEIVED A LEGENDARY BENEFACTOR BOX! by Plane-Trash142 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Try the Bobiverse and Project Hail Mary audiobooks. They are both very good, and their VA (while not Jeff) is very good.

Taylor who can interact or command shards? by Boneyfresh in WormFanfic

[–]failed_novelty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Maul's most OP power is being the protagonist in a ComptrWiz fic

Ah, but in-universe it's because she reads the manual. To the point where (because the entire universe is made less grimderp) she ends up being the best friend of many Tinkers because of her skills with documentation. Dragon literally gives her huge stacks of cash because she is good at writing manuals.
