So one might say the only reason he gets through those is… The plot requires it?
- Comment on What character is the king of plot armor? 1 week ago:
Plot armor has nothing to do with fear or bravery, though. King constantly gets out of situations that absolutely should have killed him. Situations that he was not actually equipped to handle. But he’s not only alive, but completely unscathed (with the exception of his one scar)
- Comment on Does anybody actually work from 09:00 to 17:00 1 week ago:
No. Companies have stolen 2 extra hours from us. They used to include a paid lunch hour in those 8 hours. Now, it’s not only 8-5, but we don’t get paid for the lunch hour.

Aren’t all women technically chimeras? Having two X genes means that 50% of the time one X is active and 50% of the time the other one is. And they tend to activate in stripes.

And artificially pumping up the price of games because steam has to have the lowest regular price (so even if another platform takes less than 30% gouge, they can’t offer the game for less than steam sells it for).
But people here will jump from the throat of anyone claiming they have any anti consumer policies
