I know he said he had an IQ of 2005, and he clearly has his memories of nigh-omniscience and nigh-omnipotent reality warping and the Continuum at large, so I'm guessing it would be a bad day for the Q if the Borg showed up.

George was wearing clothes way too small for him, indicating he escaped as a child. Assuming he's even close to the same age as his actor, he would have been on the run for something like 50 years. Just how large is the landscape around Buddy's compound?

The Republic credit is accepted across a huge number of systems, yet we never hear about anyone managing inflation or money supply across economies that must be wildly different. Real currency unions struggle with a couple of dozen countries sharing one currency. Foundation touches on interstellar money, and The Expanse mostly avoids it. Has any scifi universe made galactic money feel believable to you?

Raiden is the protector of Earthrealm, tasked with finding and training the fighters who will represent our realm in the Mortal Kombat tournament.

In pretty much every iteration of this story though, Raiden does his work in secret, recruiting fighters one by one. Why has he never attempted to cooperate with governments or martial arts organizations to help facilitate his quest?

He has no qualms about proving his godhood to individuals to convince them of his cause, why not do so through an organization that has the means and resources to seek out and train the very best fighters? The most elite professional fighters require significant infrastructural support to compete at their best, from training camps, to nutritionists, to specialized coaches.

Even if Raiden doesn't trust governments, surely he has the power to organize his own group to better protect his fighters. Raiden's fighters are constantly getting ambushed by the forces of Outworld and other belligerents, why not keep a standing army to guard against this so his fighters can focus on training and preparation?

Earthrealm seems kind of singular in this. Every other realm we've seen that's been pulled into Mortal Kombat seems to have a realm-wide awareness that this is happening. If the people of Earth knew that their fates depended on a group of warriors competing on their behalf, surely society would go a long way to making sure they have everything they need to fight at their best.

Is it considered fancy? Are there intrinsic benefits to living in a pineapple? What does the bikini bottom house market look like? Did he inherit it?

He can learn many disciplines pretty easily and has been honing his skills since he was a child.

The phone number Jimmy gave to Howard in the bathroom when Howard mentioned he has insomnia. The one Jimmy eventually rips apart and flush down the toilet.

P.S I also don't remember where he got the shrink's number from or who that shrink is meant to be.

When the story finds Michael in 2013, he's living in a McMansion in Los Santos with two bratty kids and a wife who all are spoiled brats who take an externally lavish lifestyle for granted, not to mention his own taste for cigars, whiskey, and boats; on top of that he's also paying Dave Norton $10k+ a month as hush money. However before he pulls down Mr. Madrazo's deck he doesn't seem particularly stressed for money, Jimmy buys a guady overpriced luxury SUV on his father's card, and Michael seems to only be mad about being scammed rather than that his unemployed son who almost never leaves his room is adding another $1k+ to the monthly bill. We know based on the jewel store payout that Madrazo needed 2.5 million for the repairs so Michael has less than 2.5m in savings. Why exactly isn't he stressing about money if his 2008 nestegg was barely enough to last his family 5 years? He can only realistically have enough savings to last himself a year or so before not being able to buy Davey's silence, and also not meeting the mortage payments on his house; and he doesn't really seem like the kind of guy to roll up his sleeves and start working at Cluckin Bell to support his family that all hate him.

I'm curious because thinking about it we really don't see anyone from the middle east. In our timeline it's prettymuch not a solvable problem. I just want to emphasize this is about Earth in the Trek universe, not ours, in the period between WWIII and the start of Enterprise.

What I recall from the canon is that they had WWIII, and then a version of the EU ended up slowly becoming the one world government. Once they discovered the Vulcans Earth spent a brief period rebuilding and then went straight to founding the Federation.

We don't hear about terrorism, regional instability and extremists and so on on Earth. We don't hear about warlords or religious conflicts. If anything, religion is mostly dead somehow. It's basically paradise, according to Sisko. So what happened? Did everyone get replicators and decide wars were lame?

Warning, spoilers for the the entire movie, which was AMAZING by the way, go watch it! Seriously! That out of the way...

I am John A Public, the name is a coincidence, yes, I hear that joke all the time. Like all of you I was enraptured as news reached us that the wealthiest tech CEO in the world and many other international celebrities were taken hostage at a charity event by insane, environmental terrorists with... very unclear motivations except they said the world would end if they didn't do a human some human sacrifices. An international manhunt occurred to try to find them which fully covered all the media in the world pretty much everywhere 24/7 for 3 days, during which we learned that a Yellowstone Super Volcano equivalent event was beginning to happen on a Greek island JUST as the police were about to rescue the hostages, only for one of the most famous actors in the world to appear to voluntarily JUMP into the volcano... AND THEN IT STOPPED ERUPTING!!!! <!

What do I, a general member of the public THINK just happened and what do governments, the media, religious institutions and other parts of society tell me happened? Because it SURE looks like magic is real or maybe god is real and they are a volcano or something?!?! Fuck!

This question first popped up in my head watching WandaVision, when they basically powerscale Captain Marvel and Wanda (not Scarlet Witch yet) saying that they both had chances of defeating Thanos 1v1, but the characters having that chat were nowhere near the battle. Then in Love and Thunder there is the ice cream place with the gauntlet, and in VisionQuest, a character mentions Thanos looking like a ballsack.

My question is, how do these people know such details? Were the Avengers just trauma dumping every chance they got?

For example, what was The Order doing, when the Marks or Viltramites were destroying the city? Or what are Batman villains doing when the Joker causing chaos? What is Lex Luther thinking whenever there is a major Metahuman/Alien attack. I could use a lot of examples here.

I ask this question. Because some Supervillians are World Leaders, CEOs, Mob Bosses, etc. So I assume more organized Supervillians wouldn't be fans of other villains causing chaos. Especially when Supervillians aren't being hold back by morals. Unlike the Superheroes. Therefore someone can take anyone out, if they think ate bad for business.

I mean, the Council was highly organized. They received regular reports from Giles about Buffy, so they knew she was still alive. And they knew Kendra was also a slayer, because they assigned a Watcher to her. So, they definitely knew there were two simultaneous slayers.

Why not inform Giles that there was a second slayer? Why not inform him that Kendra was coming to Sunnydale? Why not inform Kendra that the first slayer was still alive? Lack of information can lead to chaotic results, which one would think the Council would prefer to avoid.

Is it possible that the Council was unhappy with Buffy’s way of handling herself, and hoped that Kendra might kill her, leaving one more-easily-controlled slayer?

One of the reasons the IRS exists is to look out for the type of thing Barlow pulled as their job is to verify inheritances and preemptively deduct back taxes before the inheritor can claim it.

Maybe Furuta gets extra bored and just decides to throw everything into Chaos !

But anyways, about a month after Kaneki becomes a ghoul,a mysterious broadcast exposes EVERYTHING about the secret shadow government and conspiracy !

What would have been the fallout ?

I mean to what degree can the main clayface take his shapeshifting? How exact does he take the form of a person and could he copy thinks like internal organs or cell structures? And could he turn into animals or other chemicals to some degree? And what is he actuallu made of (what is the mud-like substance he is made of)?

(I know that Code Geass is set in an alternate universe and all, but for this scenario, imagine that Suzaku is the same attitude and personality, but instead of the Britannian Empire, it's the United States, specifically the satirical version of Dr. Stangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.)

For a quick recap of the film, a paranoid military commander decides to send planes over the USSR, ready to launch nuclear weapons, and there is debate in the government on what to do. While eventually they do manage to regain control, and order the planes to not attack and retreat, there is one plane that doesn't get the message, because an enemy missile damaged their radio system. The crew has doubts on what to do, but unfortunately they are being led by the jingoist Major Kong, who thinks that every order made by his superiors must be righteous and good, and you can see where this is going.

With that in mind, for this situation, I wanted to place in the character Suzaku. You can say he is...complicated, but in this scenario we see with how his personality and attitude is applied in a different situation. Here, he replaces Major Kong, but the story and premise more or less goes the same. He is leading a plane full of nuclear weapons, the radio is damaged, his crew members are doubting if they should carry on with dropping the bombs, and so forth.

And now with all this, the question is whether Suzaku would turn back, blindly follow the system and ride the nuke, or something else.

Mina was turned into a vampire because her parents paid a fortune for it, mainly because Mina could no longer marry into the family of a powerful corporation. Would all rich individuals just buy their way to immortality?

and how many people in Night City have no chrome in their body?
