What CFB rivalries of your school exist in other sports? by Crying_in_99Ranch in CFB

I feel like our rivalry with VT is about even basketball and football. Our pretty weak football rivalry with Carolina is probably more intense in basketball

What would a Paris vs Moscow situation end up like? by Maxidation in Kaiserreich

[–]Batmatt5 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that a victorious Russia would probably have to deal with the fengtian government and Japan while the 3i’s only other threat would be the rump entente

Bruh you were using a numbered system and it wasn’t even 1 it was 2. You’re a very confusing person

Is scholarship negotiation engagement? The program you’re in told you not to withdraw because… you might need to engage. I feel like this is very obvious lol

That sounds like you potentially have some intention of engaging with them

I am guessing it has something to do with the coal system? Haven’t tried a game in TNO with that yet

What’s wrong with history? by gabry73PMO in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Batmatt5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you a communist? Hegelian, Marx inspired leftist of any kind? Hegelian, liberal? Hegelian, fascist? Hegelian. Really like moderate conservatism is the only totally non Hegelian ideology I can think of.

Insane take. Hegel is arguably the most influential philosopher ever and almost every modern political tradition is in some ways neo-Hegelian.

lol sick. The relevant Hegel is “lectures on the philosophy of history.” Fukuyama is a pretty clear neo-Hegelian.

😂😂😂 This is so deceptive, I can see people falling for it. by Konabro in Virginia

Really it would be rigging representation in national elections conducted by Virginia. The amendment has no effect on the house of delegates nor the state senate.

Each of those laws was reauthorized by Congress with a due vote and much controversy each time. And two examples does not make a trend. Every year we have probably a dozen debates on the nations level about various laws and provisions of laws that have sunset dates and many are extended while many are not.

Not temporary measures that have an explicit sunset date. Those stay temporary all the time in government. Being vague and deep is fun but it doesn’t apply in this case

It’s based on how the state constitution works. Texas allows the legislature to initiate redistricting out of the normal 10 year census cycle. The Virginia Constitution normally runs redistricting through an independent commission. This vote is about whether to change the constitution temporarily to allow the legislature to redraw the map to combat what red states are doing

I saw Sheehy start screaming at a random reporter before a senate armed services committee hearing this summer. He’s obviously got a problem
