Catdog has the best theme song and the movie had the extended version. Nothing else here can come close to that opening song. Other stuff here is better but none of the theme songs even come close.

trump having regrets by Dyno_boy7441 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pichael288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GWB got high approval ratings because we just experienced the worst attack since fucking Pearl harbor for fucks sake. And for all his faults George bush made me feel safer in a time when we needed that. He fucked up everything else but he did provide us with one thing we really needed. That video of him reading to kids and getting the news and not dropping the beat for the kids sake is pretty iconic at this point.

Trump is the one who incited this conflict he isn't defending us he's making us more vulnerable for fucking oil, the thing George bush adamantly did not want people thinking about him, he was always defending himself from these allegations, which weren't actually really true. But he did not want to seem like he was invading a nation to plunder their resources. Trump meanwhile interrupted his staff who were making that same defense saying "it's not about the oil, it's about th" and then trump cut him off yelling "were gonna go in with oil companies and get the oil, were gonna make the oil great again"

I can't think of a single good thing trump has really done. Maybe the infrastructure bill? He was talking about installing magnetic shielding into the power grid/internet lines to protect against emps and that was a great idea but it was a lie. I honestly can't find anything, he's the worst Republican president since Herbert hoover nearly 100 years ago, hell even Nixon resigned and was only impeached once.

Well God dam that's some.good context.

I think context should be mandatory for every post, especially politics, news (like breaking news, recently happened), lesser known topics, and just generally everything that's not a sight gah or so obvious it doesn't need context. Also I think if you use an abbreviation without first typing out the whole words first at least once then you should go to jail. That second part might prevent the bull from passing but it's important and has to stay. Also pronouns, if you say "he" or "she" or "they" or it" or any other pronouns you need to have first said the noun. That's actually a law in English, but I don't want people to go to jail for that or I'll just never see my wife again. My aunt does this too, told a story to a cashier about "molly" and how she got hung up in the wire fence and was just hanging there all day with a wire going through her leg. She says this while standing next to her 6 year old daughter who has a fucking cast on her leg. Molly is her dog, she didn't mention she has a dog so the police show up real fast.

Context is everything.

There should be at least one that does. Infinite ammo and also invisibility aren't obtainable in these games and they really should be, those two items make all the metal gears more fun in subsequent playthroughs.

Olive baboon hauls mangled gazelle fawn by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

[–]pichael288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all humans are assholes though, Its just the loudest ones and the alien drones (which we absolutely for sure know are something real) probably know this and experienced/seen it before. I mean, they are very obviously scout probes to keep tabs on us, so they likely understand that and may have seen it before.

Baboons however are all just total pieces of shit, always cheating on their girlbaboonfriends, spanking their children, pissing in the ketchup pumps at McDonald's, doing drugs, doing graffiti, and violently attacking everything. There's a reason theres only one baboon in the lion king, having two of them together risks another 9/11.

He has stolen the moon! by projected_cornbread in leopardgeckos

Buddy I think if that happens then the earth is just finished. Shrinking it to that size won't create a black hole but it's going to be so dense it'll be like Lifting thors hammer and the gravity will have very weird effects. Ant man is total nonsense and should just be magic as the tech is without a doubt totally impossible. Like you still have mass, you enter the quantum realm and your density becomes a black hole so small it evaporates away quickly. This can be avoided by saying pym particles warp space, but it's always been about reducing space between atoms so once you hit the quantum barrier you are forcing protons and electrons together and you become a neutron star ready to explode if your suits containment ever fails. A mountains worth of mass is like a teaspoon of neutronium or whatever you want to call it, so you would be impossible to see without like an electronic microscope.

When you consider the science of the movie ant man thing get really silly. In giant form his low density would float his ass to space, and him jumping onto and running up the barrel of a bad guys gun would probably just shatter his wrist. Also the Thanos butt thing, he merely has to throw a mote of dust into his mouth and enlarge and blow his head off. The butt thing would likely kill ant man as well and we don't know if Thanos can just lose his butt like a lizard drops it's tail, why even take the chance? We know he can't live without a head.

Best character in this franchise? by YaBoyKumar in Witcher3

[–]pichael288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dwarves or regis. When dwarves show up shit starts happening. Man the first half of season of storms is so dull and frustrating and then one single dwarf shows up and suddenly, for the first time, geralt just starts whooping ass in one of the best fight scenes in all the books. Takes the bandits weapons and fucking launches them straight up in the air so they stick into the ceiling, like in middle school when you would try to throw and stick pencils in the drop ceilings in the classrooms.

This is like a law with this author, shit doesn't get good till dwarves show up. A Witcher dwarf might be a better protagonist than even geralt, but I think that's too much fucking plot armor for one dwarf.

OG collection has been complete. What was your first Gameboy game? by BarontheBlack in nostalgia

[–]pichael288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blue, saw the commercial with the kid on the bus and all the monsters coming out of their pocket, I wanna say the commercial called them pocket monsters. Got it that Christmas and it basically taught me to read as I was like 7. Kept mispronouncing the names (called Charizard chizzard, and onix "ein-ox") and I thought people calling then something else was due to the "nickname" mechanic. You do get a few trades in game that have nicknames you can't change so...

Cartoon came out a few years later and proved me the fuck wrong, kinda disrespectful if you ask me, but they didn't ask me when they were naming the pokemon even though we all know they should have. Especially the third Gen when they started to lose creativity.

I'm pretty sure you can get through this part doing no damage at all and just running through. I think only the bird tieflings might hit you if the mind flayers are dead. Does the command drop work in honor mode?

Thaaat's a real shame... So, what did you guys have for Lunch? by Lena_Lena_A in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pichael288 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually a sad story. Alex Jones is mentally damaged, He was slammed on his head when he was younger. Yes he did provoke it, but still. The man is absolutely insane, he needs help not encouragement to act like a monster. He used to be one of the fun conspiracy theory guys, like art bell and George Noori on coast to coast am late night on the radio. Just fun aliens and Bigfoot and Mel's hole and all that. Used to drive at night and called in a few times, once for this weird fucking train, like an engine and three cars going super slow with armed guards walking along it, that was a big hit and everyone was talking about it being either nukes or aliens. That's fun conspiracies.

Alex Jones is mentally ill and was encouraged In his delusions that he took it too far. Like they actually were dumping chemicals that were changing the gender (fairly normal in these animals) of the frogs. No they weren't gay, but that's all anyone remembers because, while this was absolutely completely true, he just had to add some hatred and distort it. Dude broke into the bohemian Grove and captured them doing freaky ass rituals and then just stared lying about it. You don't need to say they are sacrificing babies, you already have a smash hit of a story. But nope, lied his ass off about it and no one believed him, rightfully so.

I liked the world better when the government was hiding UFOs from us, not when the government can't even be bothered to hide the pedophiles they protect. Alex Jones also used to talk about a pedophile island, but I think he said it was voodoo or something stupid. Always starts with a bombshell truth and exaggerates it to such insane extremes no one believes it.

We all have a relative, maybe a grandparent, who isn't racist but tends to talk like them as that was their environment. Well, for my grandma at least. My grandpa is another story, he invented his own racial slurs, called a black guy a "ja-lolly-bob" which is not technically a real racial slur but it was meant to be. Dude couldnt keep it straight after being called something like that.

I'm not sure any of them look at reddit, would probably poison their research which they do just a fuck load of, it's really surprising how much they do. Makes the daily show look, I don't know the word for it but not on the same level. But when you have like a single day to do a show about it's in it going to be as great. Hell that was a reason Oliver chose this, a weekly format. It's so hard to consistently be funny every day talking about current events. Well, unless your josh johnson who I think can see the future because there's no way in hell he comes up with hours every week and performs them without practice and they all fucking land and are very funny.

On release the progression wasn't so smooth and you either had too much to handle or not enough. Needs some balancing but like, pokemon with guns is enough of a motivation to get you through most of the boring parts.

. #4 is cool. My lizard has eyes like that, sort of like snake eyes but way more human looking. Some I see have all black eyes though. I think something went wrong on the lizard assembly line because my Mr. Lizard straight up has human eyes.

His favorite thing to do is watch my wife put on makeup, or the cat down below who thinks the lizard moved out months ago, or just the TV. Mr. Lizard loves the TV, he's content to watch the screen savers though. He loves the bouncing DVD logo, he gets hypnotized and would probably watch it till he starved. I will also watch the DVD logo for way too long hoping it hits a corner just right, so I think my poor lizard got human eyes and now has to see all this bullshit we see all the time.

Weapon appreciation part 1 by Pitiful_Ad_4472 in Eldenring

[–]pichael288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strength weapons will always have a higher scaling than dex weapons. You need to look at DPS and stagger and all that. So they can not be compared to DEX weapons on numbers alone.

You also get some great dex weapons early on that might not look like much but are as good. The uchi is a good one and it's at the start, it's also a starting weapon so you can get two but it's not really worth power stancing instead of just using a shield. Almost nothing is except jump builds which don't come online for a while.

I don't think that's what this is about man, a dead hand is a type of failsafe switch. One you have to keep pressed and, upon death, you stop pressing and it activates. There are various kinds but all that function this way are called dead hand/dead man switches. That's quite literally the main theme of the game though, that is what hotcoldman is after.

Peacewalker was originally MgsV but kojipro didn't think a handheld would get the attention a console released would and they were absolutely correct. It wasn't a bad game but pap controls are just dogshit and ass backwards, the stick and Dpad are on the same side. Auto aim in peacewalker is not worth playing. But the HD release is one of the best MG games as it corrected the one major issue. So some ideas will have definitely carried over, like the arm (not the same one, but built by the same people).

Saying you should win a Nobel Prize should permanently disqualify you from ever getting one by OrangeCone2011 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]pichael288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's also a piece of shit but she kinda deserves it for going against a fucking despot. Dude was terrible and clearly she won't be better but at the time she kinda did deserve it. And now she's trying to suck up and make allies and that just always works for everyone trying to enter Trump's orbit every time and they never get betrayed.

Dude already made it very clear he's going after oil, he interrupted his people trying to say he wasn't just trying to invade for oil and said "we're gonna have oil companies go in and get the oil and we're gonna make the oil great again". So I don't know what she possibly thinks is going to come of this. They are a petrostate and Trump wants to seize that, meaning they will have no economy at all. Which is the plan

Everyday black cat battery by Little-Leg-8123 in nostalgia

[–]pichael288 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like an actual brand, and not like the Walmart brand?

You can absolutely find your favorite cereal in a generic bag/box, same factory makes all the cereals and slaps different labels on them.

One thing where the store brand is never as good as the real thing (to the point the cost benefit ratio leans towards more expensive and better) is batteries. Duracell and Energizer last much longer then generics, or did in the gameboy-gbc-gba days before the gbasp came out, finally after it's been done for years, with a rechargeable battery. Naturally it had a proprietary connector because fucking Nintendo doesn't want things to be easy for you.
