The Warcraft Movie

This might seem like a bizarre topic to start with, but stay with me here. It all links together.

On 9th May 2006, a Blizzard press release announced the production of a live-action movie set in the Warcraft universe, in partnership with Legendary Pictures. Fans were euphoric. Blizzard’s cinematic trailers had some of the best CGI in the world. Even today, they have never released a bad one. Fans wanted something like that, only 90 minutes long.

>"We searched for a very long time to find the right studio for developing a movie based on one of our game universes," said Paul Sams, chief operating officer of Blizzard Entertainment. "Many companies approached us in the past, but it wasn't until we met with Legendary Pictures that we felt we'd found the perfect partner. They clearly share our high standards for creative development, and because they understand the vision that we've always strived for with our Warcraft games, we feel there isn't a better studio out there for bringing the Warcraft story to film."

However good their intentions may have been, the film would linger in production hell for a decade before seeing the light of day. It was scheduled to hit theatres in 2009 under the direction of Sam Raimi (of Spiderman fame), but it was still only in its early stages when Blizzcon 2011 came around..

0. SUMMARY

On February 24th, a system-wide crash at the Fed disabled the movement and reporting of electronic cash flow for approximately 3.5 hours. During this time, financial institutions were unable to move money around and make payments using the National Settlement Service which clears settlements for the DTC. Suddenly, when the system came back online, "meme stocks" began going bonkers with massive volume spikes followed by swells of gains into after hours. We believe that due to systemwide delays to intraday settlement reporting, when the system came back online, it attempted to start settling naked shorts.

Even Ryan Cohen himself attempted to point out the problem with his legendary McDonald's Ice Cream cone tweet. Ken Griffin was quick to publicly blame RC's tweet for the sudden surge and provided a convenient red herring to distract from possible evidence of naked shorts, that if revealed to be true, would open up many more questions into his positions and the continued naked short selling of GameStop.

We've come to two distinct conclusions about what happened on February 24th:

• This was in fact an unexpected computer crash due to an "operational error". Maybe the reason Feb 24 was so batshit crazy at the end of the day was due to the computer coming back online, seeing naked short positions and starting going haywire on DTC Participants. This should provide enough evidence to warrant an audit of short sellers and market makers during the events of February 24th.
• **The computer suddenly recognized there was an irrational amount of DOOMPS that needed to be settled than physically possible on that date, and shut down due to computational error. Now short hedge funds are stuck kicking the can every 90 days. If this is the case, the DTC/Fed should be held responsible for market manipulation c

What's the best RC I can take that will magically resolve all my issues for me?

I don't want to see a doctor because they might end up not prescribing me what I feel is the best for my Google Diagnosis.

It's very obvious that medical professionals don't know what they're doing and can't be trusted when it comes healthcare. This is why ordering RC's online to magically absolve me of all my struggles makes the most sense.

Before you try telling me to "go to talk therapy", "develop healthy habits" or try "CBT/DBT therapy" just know that I'm NOT open to any suggestions or ideas that don't allign with my self prognosis.

I'm only interested in hearing what RCs you think will magically just eliminate all my struggles so I don't have to exert any effort other than ordering drugs.

Who said getting ahead in life should be challenging?

Ideally, I'm looking for THE BEST RC that will allow me to jerk it for hours on end, blast multiple big steamy loads, remove all and any anxiety, get me that promotion, and help me time travel.

These things shouldn't be that hard for a drug to deliver right? Afterall, it's the drugs doing all the hard work and not me.

This entire post is satire, not sarcasm.

Exhibit Two: The Legal Case Against Dexter Morgan Or Lackthereof

One of the most infuriating aspects of the New Blood finale was Angela arresting Dexter for the murder of Matt Caldwell and her supposed effort to additionally charge him as the Bay Harbor Butcher despite having no jurisdiction or evidence in the latter. Fortunately for her (and the audience), the producers spared us this frivolous spectacle.

It was maddening to watch Angela being possessed by Maria LaGuerta. You can literally follow LaGuerta's arc in the original series and find it fits perfectly for Angela's character in the final episodes of New Blood.

The first problem is probably unnoticeable and not even on the radar of most viewers but Angela never read Dexter his Miranda rights. Logan started to as he was escorting Dexter out of Angela's house. He said, "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say..." At the station when Dexter asks Angela if he needs a lawyer, she only says, "Up to you" before going straight to questioning.

This becomes insignificant because Dexter makes no incriminating statements. He also doesn't make any confession of guilt. The other problem for me is that generally she would need to obtain an arrest warrant before arresting the suspect at his house (her even her own). Here's the law in the state of New York:

https://ypdcrime.com/cpl/article120.php#c120.20

Nevertheless she made an arrest and must show probable cause. She didn't make an arrest because he was fleeing from law enforcement, you couldn't really say she believed anyone in the house was in imminent danger, but you could argue that she let herself in her home therefore she can make a warrantless arrest (I guess).

The only thing Angela did manage to do was establish Dexter did not have a strong alibi. Her belligerence, however, was unprofessional and wouldn't look good at trial:

Dexter: Do I need a lawyer? 'Cause...

Angela: Up to you. For the record, please state your name.

Dexter: Jim Lindsay.

Angela: State your goddamn name.

Dexter: Dexter. Dexter Morgan.

Angela: Hello, Dexter Morgan.

Dexter: Hello, Chief Bishop.

Angela: Where were you the day Matt Caldwell went missing?

Dexter: I was... ( Sighs ) at my cabin, alone.

Angela: Okay.

Her first piece of so-called "evidence" is thermal imaging and her inference that the second unidentified man in the woods that day was Dexter. There's no positive identification. She bases h

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I had been spending most of my gaming time the last few months on Magic Arena. Due to some changes I stopped playing about two weeks ago, so looking through my library I saw Saints Row 3 (remaster) as one of the free Epic games a while back. Compared to the competitive and cerebral nature of MtG, I thought it would be a brainless power fantasy, the perfect contrast to cleanse my palette before hopping into a more serious game.

My expectations weren't super high going in - I had played 30 minutes of it at my friend's house in high school and all I remember was pimping out a Vespa at the car customization shop, Rim Jobs. I figured I would drive around, shoot some people, hear some dumb dick jokes, get bored and move on. And I was mostly right. There's a lot of driving, a lot of shooting, and a lot of dumb dick jokes. But I never got bored! So I wanted to write a quick review for the game in case it sounds good to anyone else.

#The pros:

-The story quests were really enjoyable. They featured a number of unique set pieces that weren't a part of the open world. The dialog, characters, and situations were ridiculously over-the-top in a way that had me laughing out loud on multiple occasions. It took itself seriously exactly once the entire game, >!only in one of the two possible endings!<.

-The sidequests/mini games were overall great. Once I came across them I usually did a couple more of the same ones right away because I wanted to keep playing them.

-The progression feels fantastic. One of my biggest problems with open world games I've has been that the world remains almost entirely unchanged even though you supposedly have a large-scale impact through the story. This game is very much the opposite. As you take over the city, the streets become more populated with your own gang members and less with the opposing gang. When you >!beat up gang leaders, you take over their main base, and!< you get new massive buildings that are lit up and can be seen from halfway across the city.

-The soundtrack is filled to the brim with absolute bangers, at least in my favorite genres. Danger Doom, The Dear Hunter, Kanye, Ratatat, Tyler the Creator, Deadmau5, Motley Crue, Run-DMC are all on there. The classical music selection isn't my favorite in terms of standalone pieces, but they're iconic and all do seem to be great choices to accompany the carnage you'll inevitably create.

#The cons:

-The game is janky as hell. There's clipping galore, bad AI, the o

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

Note: This is NOT my conversation. This is a discord chat between a friend of mine, and their now ex friend. (Friend has consented to this post and sent this to me.)

Context: This text conversation happened after a x-box voice call with my friend, the ex friend, and a couple other friends. The ex friend likes to make a recurring "joke", about how all cats should burn in hell, should die out, and be murdered. This wouldn't be too bad, if it wasn't said in a serious matter, he goes into gruesome detail, and insist they aren't jokes. My friend has said to this ex friend, multiple times, over voice in group calls and text, that this 'joke' makes her uncomfortable. She has asked him to stop making these jokes when she's around, and his response has been 'no lmao', and other brush offs. After he has made yet another 'kill all cats' joke, my friend discord messaged him, wanting to get through to him, and this is where I will copy and paste the conversation here:

*Note: he has also done other jokes or topics besides that cat ones (politics (bringing it up when no-one else wants to talk about it, and insulting other who don't have his specific view) and racist jokes (said and claimed as serious, and took offense if they were brushed off as jokes))

(Sorry for the wall of text, I'm making sure to copy and last everything exactly as they were written)

Cast: F- my friend, E- ex friend

F: You really get on my Fucking nerves when you say this shit. Just stop, okay? Just because you don't prefer an animal doesn't mean it needs to rot in Hell according to you. Shut. The. FUCK. Up.

E: lmao no

E: Not your animal, not your problem

F: Then we have a problem

E: *You have a problem

E: If it doesn't pertain to you, don't get involved Simple as that

E then sends a meme image of a videogame tank with the text "Silence, Liberal"

E: Whenever you feel like hashing it out, you’re more than welcome to come back. But you aren’t just gonna dip, talk like that, and expect to not be met with resistance. So, whenever you’re ready you know where to find me 🙂

F: Listen, I have placed clear boundaries, and ask politely for you to not talk about a certain topic when I'm around. And you say "lmao no". I get a bit more aggressive and clearly explain what makes me uncomfortable. You say "Lmao no". I don't say things that bother you, and I try to not say things that you clearly state "hey, that bothers me". If you won't do that for me, I can't hang out with you. I've dealt with t

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”

“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.

It really does, I swear!

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
