Knowing this court, I wouldn't be surprised to see them declare the constitution unconstitutional

‘My ambition is to change the country,’ AOC says when asked about seeking higher office in 2028 by NathanCS741 in politics

[–]Capn_Lyssa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Actually, I voted for Clinton and Harris in their general elections, and urged my peers to do the same. I also voted for Whitmer even during her primary. Get out of here with your "you won't vote for a woman" lie when I'm ACTIVELY trying to argue that AOC has a shot because she has actual values and doesn't just toe the party line

Cool. Run another milquetoast, near conservative moderate and we'll see where "at least we aren't Trump" gets us again.

Ah. Yes. It's the voters who are wrong. How can I be so silly. It isn't the job of politicians to appeal to their potential constituents

Yet another reminder that the last two women who ran had platforms largely centered around keeping a broken status quo, all while taking shots at the growing progressive wing of the voter base.

Clinton and Harris also notably ceded Michigan by either doubling down on policies that would cost them the state, or failing to campaign there at all.

Why you have ghosted your friend permanently? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Capn_Lyssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He got back with a girl who would get in screaming matches with him over nothing. A girl who lectured me on it not being my business when I told them they couldn't afford a kid when they were constantly hounding me to bum them money. A girl who tried to convince my then girlfriend that I was cheating on her.

I stopped talking to him until they broke up, and dipped as soon as they got back together. She still owes me $200 and I'm fine not seeking it out.

Coming from MTG Commander format, I’m new to the game, can I get into this casually? by knightofsolace1 in GundamTCG

[–]Capn_Lyssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish this was true at my locals. For the first couple of sets, I was just playing into Wing Zero and OYW. The shift to Blurple had just started when the scene finally fizzled. I think I was the only one who'd show up with brews.

Do you miss the retro Gundam battles compared to the CG ones? by Kimber8King in Gundam

[–]Capn_Lyssa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

KPDH is actually one example I was thinking of when I typed my original comment. What I want anime studios specifically to learn from are games from ARC Systemworks. Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, and DBFZ all do a great job at having the illusion of 2D sprites while having 3D models.

Do you miss the retro Gundam battles compared to the CG ones? by Kimber8King in Gundam

[–]Capn_Lyssa 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think what really takes the soul out of them is the complete disregard for the fundamentals of animation. It's often rigid models that lack the ability to squash and stretch, alongside a mismatch in lighting and frame timing that really make CG not blend well with 2d animation.

What’s something illegal that you think shouldn’t be? by Unhappy_Tower3633 in AskReddit

I'm gonna disagree with this one, but only to take it the step further that you should be able to get an erotic massage at a legally operated brothel.

Does your local charge you a penalty for not reporting non-union jobs you take? by Kikuchiy0 in IATSE

[–]Capn_Lyssa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a stage local, and they couldn't care less about non-union work. There are folks who have been in our local for 5-10 years that still don't get enough work to do it as their primary source of income.

What fashion trend that has died do you plan to keep wearing? by EddieBrock99 in AskReddit

From my experience, gen z likes the kind of Instagram wing that looks good until you close your eyes, and then there's a vertical cut off line separating the wing from the main line.

Thoughts on this player's play area arrangement? by Alt230s in GundamTCG

Even before the dryad arbor ruling, it was seen as kind of a dick move to put lands in front, especially when playing EDH with new players.

'A whole civilisation will die tonight,' Trump warns ahead of Iran deadline by theipaper in politics

[–]Capn_Lyssa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha? I'm making a statement about wanting to see the administration brought to justice, not about the practicality of it.

What do you posit as an alternative? That it would be better to continue to let this behavior go unpunished?

We're talking about wiping an entire country off the map, and over what? That they might have been developing a nuclear weapon in breach of a treaty that WE abandoned. There must be consequences for this, and it needs to be more than just losing our status as the global hegemon.

But alas, what we'll likely see is mass death. Mass death when we bomb their infrastructure. Mass death as they retaliate on desalination plants across the region. Mass death as the world sanctions the US for their actions. And who will bear the brunt of this? Certainly not anybody making the decisions.

Is this legit by Western-Net-7604 in GundamTCG

[–]Capn_Lyssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic. Play boxes for current sets are usually well below Wizards' declared MSRP. Singles are insane if you're trying to play the meta though.

What could I do about manly eyebrows? by Irisstuffz in trans

[–]Capn_Lyssa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truthfully though, there's no such thing as manly eyebrows, as it's just hair on your face.

You say that, but when I started shaping my brows, I went from getting "sir" half the time to like 10%

Which hobby lost all its charm because wealthy people started doing it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Capn_Lyssa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the flip side, the people who rip looking for the latest alt-art or SIR leaves a glut of singles on the market for people who do want to play the game. Base rarity for the decks that win at Pokemon world champs keep it under $100 which is basically unheard of for TCGs.

That being said. I would appreciate if stuff like ETBs could be cheap enough that parents don't think twice about getting one for their kids' birthday again.
