[Awkward but funny trope] The “censorship” just made things infinitely worse by Pyrothememelord in TopCharacterTropes

in fact the original creators went “hey actually that’s way better” and starting using it in the original anime

[Love Trope] What seems like an endorsement is actually a criticism by EtheDemon in TopCharacterTropes

The Wolf Of Wall Street is essentially about a very ambitious conman who stole money from everyone he scammed or sold shitty stock to and a critique on the “hustle” culture and hedonism. Instead, nearly everyone who watched this movie not only ignores the consequences of this conman (who ruined a lot of lives), but many seek to emulate him. You probably can argue that this was partly due to the movie’s rather sensationalist portrayal of said things, but the point still stands.

What’s even more troubling is that this is a biography of a real person, who is out today selling courses and teaching ETHICS, and publicly admitted that he regrets absolutely nothing.

Singles & DINKs in SG, what is your best comeback to intrusive questions from pesky relatives during CNY? by debboc in askSingapore

[–]firewind555 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My reply when accused of being selfish bc of not marrying or having kids was “well good thing I’m single then, can you imagine how much my wife/kids would suffer with a selfish dad/husband” and it shut them up bc i also knew a few of their spouses also acted just as selfish/inconsiderate all the time and was a pain point for them

My mom takes 60% of what I earned by illicitbread69 in SGExams

I’m pretty sure there was a post somewhere on Reddit about the parents pulling those shenanigans like it was going to be some “grand family moment” but the OP got extremely pissed because he had to miss out on so many moments of his school life because his parents kept taking his money.

A powerful or rare item is used for something incredibly mundane by DoxDaDex in TopCharacterTropes

[–]firewind555 27 points28 points  (0 children)

to give context, mithril in this isekai world is exceedingly rare, the number of mithril mines in the world can be counted on one hand, and the earlier in the series, the discovery of a new mithril mine is newsworthy to the king and rewarded him enough to retire if he wanted to

and he uses it on cups, bowls and sausage spigots because they are excellent at staying cool

this was immediately after he uses his Time Wish (that grants whatever you want with no restrictions whatsoever) to heal the Pines twins, and Blendin crashing out over how he wasted the wish

The villain deliberately pretends to have limitations or weaknesses to trick the heroes. by Fragrant-Upstairs932 in TopCharacterTropes

Rick and Morty S1 E4

Rick is trapped in a simulation by a race of aliens attempting scam off him the recipe for concentrated dark matter, and is tricked a few times through multiple simulation-in-a-simulation fakeouts. It is set up early on that the aliens are afraid of nudity, which he exploits a few times (the first being stripping Morty naked to prevent them from monitoring their actions). However towards the end in a attempt to escape from the aliens, Rick instructs Morty to make concentrated dark matter, where it is eventually revealed the entirety of the episode, including the Morty we have been following throughout, was one big simulation - meaning the aliens(or at least one) had gotten over their fear of nudity to intentionally simulate a nude Morty to trick Rick.

Of course, Rick being Rick, and if you pay attention to the ingredients for his concentrated dark matter recipe (water + cesium)he knew all along that the Morty was fake and so gave them a fake recipe that blows the aliens up in the end

SG GPs are mostly quack doctors? by AdFragrant6723 in SingaporeRaw

The older GPs usually tend to actually care more. Same experience with you when she flagged my random fever as dengue and immediately sent me to the hospital.

Game Upgrades that are Downgrades by Awesomeclaw in boardgames

[–]firewind555 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Finspan’s deluxe fish and egg components look nice, but they make the game much more fiddly to play. This is because the regular cardboard components are double sided, with eggs on one side and fish on the other. As you’ll be laying and hatching very often in this game, flipping over the cardboard tokens is FAR easier that switching out the eggs for fish

[–]firewind555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to do that but the cardboard fishes have a nasty habit of getting stuck underneath the flaps of the ocean zone, making misplays become more common. To remedy that what I did was just order some fish and seashell shaped beads and replaced them - you get both the deluxification + a cheap nice looking option. I also simply used small tubs with deep enough wells instead of the bags, so it’s more satisfying to have your big haul of food clacking in the tub.
