People who believe in reincarnation: What will happen to people's souls after the Earth is no longer habitable?

Not talking about overly-polluted, devastated by war, or any of that stuff; I mean when the Earth is literally no longer capable of sustaining life (i.e. after the sun explodes).

Tony Hawk isn't a real person.

He's just a mascot created by Activision to promote the THPS games, like Ronald McDonald.

All of his appearances at sports shows and the like are just actors playing a role, like the cast members at Disneyland.

Not sure what to call this trope

A convoluted sequence of events results in a scene that could easily be mistaken for racist.

  • Rat Race: A Jewish man tries to drive his family to New Mexico in a race to win $2 million dollars, but gets side-tracked when his daughter insists that they stop by a "Barbie Museum", which turns out to be a museum dedicated to former Nazi Klaus Barbie. After their car is sabotaged by other competitors in the race, the family decides to hijack Hitler's car to continue their trip. Along the way, the father accidentally burns his tongue, middle finger, and upper lip with a lighter found in the back seat, leaving a black mark on his face that resembles Hitler's mustache. Eventually, he ends up crashing Hitler's car into a gathering of World War II veterans, and in an attempt to explain what happened, ends up spouting German-sounding gibberish due to his burnt tongue, while waving his burnt middle finger at them in a gesture that resembles a Nazi salute.
  • The Simpsons: Homer, Flanders, and Apu travel to Canada to get cheaper medication, when Flanders offers Apu some hot tea. However, the tea is so hot that it causes Apu to start ululating, prompting Flanders to wrap a white towel around Apu's head to help him cool off. All of this happens right when Homer pulls up to the Canadian border, where the guards mistake Apu for a Middle-Eastern terrorist.
  • South Park: After the town is overrun by "rich people" (all of whom happen to be black), Mr. Garrison concocts a plan to scare them away by dressing up as "spooky ghosts" (that resemble KKK members), and burning a giant wooden lower-case t, for "time to leave".

Stop using "real" Pokemon cards altogether and play entirely with proxies.

Since the actual cards themselves are impossible to obtain anymore because scalpers have ruined everything, why not just print out fake copies of the cards and play with them instead? Obviously this ruins the whole point of collecting the cards, but at least the game itself would still be playable.

Possible solution to the payment processor censorship issue.

  1. Buy a pack of 1,000 toothpicks for five bucks.
  2. On your Patreon/Fantia/whatever art site you use, announce that you're having a Toothpick Sale, where you offer one free art commission with the purchase of a toothpick.
  3. After working out the details of the commission with your client, set however much you would have charged them as the price of one toothpick.
  4. Mail your client their toothpick, and complete the rest of the transaction as normal.

Technically, you're not selling anything objectionable; you're giving it away for free. What you're selling is a very expensive toothpick, which there are no laws against.

I've been grinding away at the City Trial checklist by using a second controller as a sandbag while I go for some of the tougher tasks. I've gotten several Hydras in a row, plus a few Leos and Dragoons, but never a single piece of Gigantes.

Playing as Starman and prioritizing the Paper Star so I can go after the floating islands if they ever decide to spawn.

Not so far away that we all freeze to death; just far enough away to prevent global warming.

Make the exhaust ports for the rockets so long that they stretch out into space, to prevent the exhaust from getting caught in the atmosphere.
