I decided to get a head-start on my golden years bigotry. We all have to go down that road, but if we act now, we can soften the blow for our families. So I decided I'm going to be *really* bigoted against people who upload their AI girlfriend consciousnesses into gender-bent clones of themselves.

okay I just had a great idea
What if
And hear me out
You make a Predator movie
But at the end
It was really just the Punisher the whole time

I don't like Netflix's Punisher. I think Jon Bernthal is doing the best job he can with awful scripts (except for Daredevil Season 2), but I never see the character that I came to know from the comics in him. All I see is Crazy Frank, which is not the Punisher.

i wasn’t sure if they did this because she’s female or brown or progressive and then i realized the answer is “yes”

Honestly, I feel like every live-action Punisher had great casting but a terrible story/script, including Lundgren. Is it really so hard to write a good Punisher movie/show? Just freaking film the Max run. And add a scene where Frank looks into the camera and says "ACAB." That's all you need!

Male midwives are called "midWIVES" because the "wife" in "midwife" doesn't refer to the person assisting with the birth, but rather the person giving birth, i.e. the "wife" (originally simply meaning "woman.") So "midwife" is actually a unisex term. Like "demonslayer."

Spartans weren't invincible super soldiers. Their true strength lay in being disciplined and organized (though even that is a bit of an oversimplification). They lost a shit-ton of battles. I love telling RW history fetishists about how they lost to the Sacred Band of Thebes, and what the SBoT was.

I need to explain to RW history fetishists what the Sacred Band of Thebes was because most of them know dick about real history.
