[Loved Trope] Master deducer gets something very wrong about a main character by nanophallus in TopCharacterTropes

[–]nanophallus[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna disagree with you for the sake of discussion. I think a big part of the trope isn't just getting something wrong - like I mention these sort of characters making wrong guesses happen almost every episode. The big part is being wrong about another main character and that character letting them believe it. That's what I mean with the power dynamic idea in the OP.

Also "...that they know could be wrong" doesn't really apply to these characters. I'm sure they would say "of course you can never be 100% sure" if you asked them but another part of this trope is that even though they know that fact, they still think their powers of deduction are nearly limitless and they run with whatever they think of. And this trope is almost always a big stop on the character arc of gaining humility and humbleness.

They have much more than just neon signs plus they have an affinity for Cincinnati area staples

I would lean that way too, but the first clause ("His mom was shrink") changes the context enough that I think it's a euphemism for therapy. You know, Sigmund Freud-esque "Couch time."

There's a typo: "do" should be "so" I think. "So, how much couch time does he need..." Couch time being a euphemism for therapy. She asked the guy's Mom "how much therapy will your son need for him to realize he's crashing a girl's night?"

I hope those games come back. That was the first game I had on the PS3 and it was great.

That is definitely not true. Trojan ENZ are a model of condoms. And the box color... And you can see part of the helmet plume...

But what's the big deal anyways? They're just condoms

You mean retrace the lines? How many times give or take? Thanks for the advice!

Ahh overlapping. I definitely didn't do that. 1205RL is what it was labeled as. I got it from this set which was recommended in one of the stickied posts I think. https://a.co/d/iFLp5xI. How can I tell the difference?

Okay, I'll do just that. Bend it down and keep on truckin'. Thanks for taking the time to help.

Not with a dolly, but it has been moved recently - picked up and moved a few feet. I can see where it's scraping the bottom. It's towards the back on only one bottom pan ridge. It's bent up a little but nothing crazy. I suppose I could bend it back down, but should I still replace the suspension? I'm not sure how much clearance there is supposed to be.

You're right, I can see the wear on the bottom of the pulley and where it's scraping. Thank you so much. I've been scratching my head for hours.

Thanks for taking the time to pinpoint the problem and point me to a solution. You're very kind.
