This post might actually justify the existence of Season 2 of True Detective.
Unfortunately, I can only star it, although it probably deserves a freaking Quasar.

Onanie/Onanism is derived from Onan? You don’t say!
But no, it is fairly unlikely that the Japanese got it from the Christians - after a Catholic rebellion in the early 17th century, Japan further amplified their xenophobic and isolationist policies, and Christians were driven underground. The term “Kakure Kurishtan”…

It’s most likely derived from the related German word, “Onanie”.

Onanii?
I’m assuming that’s derived from the German “Onanie”.
Japanese actually has a bunch of German loanwords, such as “arubaito” (“Arbeit”).

YUKKIII?

Here in Europe, we just incinerate people on the field with Roman Candles or Bengal Fires. Maybe also a barrage of bottles from the first few rows.

Adderall *is* Speed (i.e. straight up amphetamine)
“Cocaine in a pill” would be closer to Ritalin, as they are both short-acting Dopamine Reuptake Inhibitors (whereas Adderall is a Dopamine Releasing Agent)

Adderall isn’t meth Meth.
Adderall is Amphetamine, which, yes, is referred to as Speed on the street.
Meth, on the other hand, is METHamphetamine, AKA Crank or Crystal (although it may sometimes be sold as Speed).
Methamphetamine is (very rarely) prescribed for ADHD in the US, and is sold under the name “Desoxyn”

Great. I guess this is going to be the Marvel fangirls’ answer to “BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE AN OTTER! RIGHT? RIGHT? #TJLC”

I really liked the fact that Dorian was, in fact, a 100% gay.
Having everyone be bi in Dragon Age 2 just felt like they were pandering. It was less about writing a character than giving the shippers the satisfaction that all of their pairings were potentially canon.

The Pope is high as fuck right now.

Funny thing, I recently came to the conclusion that Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca was the most Baller thing ever to occur in the history of mankind. Imagine being an Arab supremacist in the Medieval Middle East and seeing this uppity Black guy casually spend enough gold to decrease its value for decades to come.

Because nothing says “privilege” like being a black person woman whose parents hail from Muslim countries who is now rejected by other black people for her perceived melanin deficiency.

Looks like somebody really, really liked the infamous Ex-S Gundam, except they figured that what is arguably one the most ridiculously overpowered suits of the UC timeline just wasn’t quite “Ex-S-ive” enough.

I think you’re giving these amateur drifters wayyy too much credit here. These probably aren’t the kind of people to approach racing/stunt driving with a “know your limits and those of your car”-mentality, but more of an attitude inspired by “If you ain’t outta control, you ain’t in control” and other assorted “Fast &…

Technically, what it *should* remind you of is Fallout: New Vegas, since that is a Veteran Ranger of the New California Republic. :P

She refused treatment and tried curing herself by eating blueberries (I kid you not).

Reminds me of those Hentai games where you have characters who look like they’re preteens but who inform you that they’re just 26-year-olds who don’t look their age (or possibly ageless vampires or yokai or whatever), so it’s, like, totes ok for you to have hot, steamy, possibly ever so slightly ....coerced sexual…

I was going to comment how they should have gotten an SKS like in the movie since those are, to my knowledge, available all over the place in the US and dirt cheap at that, but then I realized they probably don’t let you take an actual working ComBloc auto-loading carbine into a convention space. :P
