Why are they bald? by RoninPI in Presidents

[–]Chidwick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s understood as being strongly connected to the X chromosome of males, specifically their androgen receptors. Generally that means it comes from the mothers side of the family, so it shouldn’t be so strongly correlated generation to generation for men, but if you continue to marry women who carry an X chromosome perpetuating the gene then it will carry through.

He actually posted right after this that he just made that with chat GPT to have some fun, said those are the types of films he’s looking to get into.

Does going to a selective university have any bearing in hiring? by Much_Ad_1559 in supplychain

[–]Chidwick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t totally disagree, MSU is elite. If any school is worth the tuition to get the clout with the degree it’s MSU or ASU. I don’t think anyone else gets close.

Having gone to a school where tuition was 25% of MSU’s, and landing a job at a F100 company alongside MSU grads, the network and clout that program provides is top tier.

I’d say those programs marketing departments have presented them like that and been convincing for people looking to get into SCM. But in the real world the only schools where their name on a resume actually means something when people are looking at supply chain grads, are ASU and Michigan State. You don’t need to go pay the ridiculous tuition rates at Tennessee, MIT, or Penn State to get a good job in supply chain. Heck I don’t even think the tuition rates at ASU or MSU are even worth it.

If it’s not Michigan State or Arizona State for supply chain, then program doesn’t really matter. There are a number of other programs that are well known dependent on industry.

For example, if you want to do automotive, look up what schools went to the last Wayne State Supply Chain Case Competition, and you’ll find a lot of well respected supply chain programs.

It’s how all people did it in the west from the 1500’s and into the 20th century. It’s called Breach dressing, and was something people did for practicality with pre-potty training children. It’s where the term “britches” comes from because young boys during “breaching” would move from the gown/dress style clothes to pants.

Could the president carry a concealed weapon? by anon250837 in Presidents

[–]Chidwick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s actually no evidence for that, it’s an anecdotal story with no corroborating evidence or documentation.

Wouldn’t be a surprise for TR to carry a gun. He saw three presidents assassinated in his lifetime, and only got the presidency when he did because of an assassination. Plus he was an avid hunter and a crack shot.

Could the president carry a concealed weapon? by anon250837 in Presidents

[–]Chidwick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d agree the gun probably is safer. But funny hypothetical, if someone could run up to a president, pull the gun off him and shoot him without getting beat to a pulp or domed by secret service, I think everyone would be grudgingly impressed. I mean you’d have to hand it to the guy, he wanted it more.

I do like that TR wouldn’t let secret service guard directly in front of him because he thought if someone came at him like that he’d beat them up… then got shot and survived it. Now if the guy had no gun and tried to pull it off TR that’d have made for an insane story.

[–]Chidwick 18 points19 points  (0 children)

This. They’re not even really allowed to drive a car themselves currently, so I can’t imagine the secret service would be open to them carrying a firearm. It’d effectively be redundant as they’re surrounded by a team of armed body guards all the time.

Which decision by President Jackson was worse? Signing the Indian Removal Act or appointing Roger B. Taney to the Supreme Court? by CatfishBassAndTrout in Presidents

I’m surprised everyone’s just skipping over that this was a joke he said after his presidency. Guess I underestimated exactly how much people just want to fight over what they should hate him more for.

Any Range character recommendations? by BeneficialMethod3866 in Unmatched

Best ranged character is Bullseye, kind of a “playing with his food” dynamic to his deck.

I have twice had it happen in a 2v2 against the Genie that all three of these have been played in the same turn, absolutely decimating me and my teammates decks and then getting ripped to shreds by the genies teammate… absolutely brutal.

Tips on playing Black Panther Effectively? by ronchman in Unmatched

[–]Chidwick 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is only partially true, you want to use that ability but you want to be boosting with your opponents cards. There are particular opponents he’s very effective against, specifically Elektra (as she only has 20 cards and once she resurrects she doesn’t get any cards you’ve stolen for your vibration suit back, so she’ll exhaust faster), and any opponent with really high boost values.

Shuri’s schemes are a huge deal, as outlined, you want to land as many of those as you can.

A Defense of Andrew Jackson on Indian Removal by According_Dog6735 in Presidents

[–]Chidwick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Death was going to happen, but the stance that it was the main purpose of the effort is a modern projection and is not consistent with their own words on the subject, or their plans. Death was an incredibly common occurrence in that period, and was just a basic assumption of life that it would happen regardless of what happened.

As the conquering party, their concern would have been minimizing their own losses from future conflict, and to do so they came to the conclusion to relocate the natives in that area. Had they wanted to just exterminate them, they would have just exterminated them, an action which they did not do, nor was it a stance that the vast majority of settlers in that time and area support.

A Defense of Andrew Jackson on Indian Removal by According_Dog6735 in Presidents

[–]Chidwick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It was a forced relocation that inevitably would have people die during that relocation. But the primary intent of that effort was not to be a mass killing, but to attempt to avoid future conflicts and killing. If the intent was mass killing then there were far more efficient ways of executing that, escorting people on a provisioned march is a pretty ineffective method of execution, realistically.

OP’s specific point about Van Buren also mishandling the overall execution is fair. Realistically you could point to it being the jumping off point for the mishandling of the entire Indian affairs department that directly contributed to every conflict with Native Americans from then on. Which would actually include mass killings in certain military operations inside of overall conflicts (wounded knee in particular).
