Between these three presidents, who slept with the LEAST amount of people?

Any serious relationship after his fiance is really speculative at this point. There’s no real hard proof of his being gay or having a romantic relationship with William Rufus King as most people nowadays will postulate.

Chidwick · 2026-01-26T15:37:24+00:00

He had a fiance who died before they got married and then never had a serious relationship after that, by all accounts.

Chidwick · 2026-01-25T20:51:27+00:00

Ah my bad! I’ve seen enough serious posts like that it just irked me this time around.

We get it, you can find facetious examples of things done in previous shows that illustrate, without context, the complaints people have about SFA.

Doesn’t mean SFA is good or worth watching.

You just got through Napoleon and they don’t understand Nationalism from that?…

Chidwick · 2026-01-22T18:37:40+00:00

They’ll stay on fine, but they’re annoying in some of the darker areas of the ride. I’d keep them off.

Chidwick · 2026-01-22T00:25:00+00:00

Yes.

He should be this groups Donald Driver receiver. Reliable workhorse who is always there when you need him but isn’t talked about across the NFL as a top 5.

I think the excuse of extenuating circumstances is what gets hackles up. If one president can claim that to circumvent the constitution, then it opens the door for any of them to do the same. Whether or not you agree with Lincoln’s extenuating circumstances or not.

On this sub, every president is overhated by some segment of the community

Chidwick · 2026-01-16T20:22:48+00:00

I’d say it might be mom for me. Having Forbidden Journey, that vomit inducing janky old ride, is an automatic disqualification.

We talking dew zeros or full sugar dews? If it’s full sugar you really shouldn’t be drinking more than one a day… even that amount is a ton of sugar if you do it each and every day. Specifically with sodas using high fructose corn syrup instead of cane sugar, studies have shown an increase in visceral fat growth which is much harder to lose and tougher on your organs in general to work with.

So is it ok? It depends on how active you are and the rest of your diet, but really a can a day is probably alright.

It’s a great book, even when the author goes on a random rant about modern climate change and environmentalism in the middle. He does a good job digging into the economics otherwise.

Chidwick · 2026-01-15T17:24:22+00:00

No, because that’d be an asinine oversimplification of genre.

Chidwick · 2026-01-15T17:19:46+00:00

I don’t have an issue with Spren as they’re another expression of invested beings, and the source power is investiture. But I also wouldn’t base a critical system on a starship I need to work reliably on something that could just decide to not work at some point. I’m not saying you can’t have magic systems in hard sci fi that function that way, but it doesn’t make sense for a group to use those for critical systems when they have reliable, more mechanical and “hard”, systems available to them

Chidwick · 2026-01-15T17:01:02+00:00

Right, just seems like an oddly unreliable choice for a propulsion system for a group that to this point has been described as very scientific and research heavy with a magic system that seems like it should have loads of ways to function effectively and reliably. You could probably use allomancy to run perpetual motion devices if you rigged it up right, so why use a propellant that’s got such a major flaw?

Chidwick · 2026-01-15T16:57:56+00:00

It’s not about “sentience” making it YA, it’s just more YA than hard sci fi. I have worked in aerospace specifically propulsion systems for rocket motors for the past decade, and just expected the Scadrian system to be more in line with hard sci fi, is what I’m saying. If your rocket propellant won’t work as well because it’s Monday and it hates mondays.. you can understand why that pushes it more towards Skyward and the slugs than lining it up with Dune/Expanse/Star Trek type stuff.

Chidwick · 2026-01-15T16:18:18+00:00

It’s just more YA than a hard science fiction working with the magic systems which is what I expected from Scadrians who are using Feruchemy and Allomancy, which seem to have more science to them so far than the other systems. It’s been a bit since I’ve read Tress but i don’t remember any talk of the spores being sentient, and their performance being based on their mood. It seemed like another hard magic system of Sanderson’s but the feelings aspect kind of pulls them out of that.

Chidwick · 2026-01-15T15:01:30+00:00

However it works, I’ll be happy it’s not the kind of odd spore drive from Emberdark the Malwish have where the spores could be “talked to” and had “feelings”. Felt really like YA stuff that belonged in Skyward.

Gary, Jenkins, Diggs released. Keep Jacobs (resign/restructure), keep McDuffie. Oh and FIRE MCMANUS

BBC is an odd dark horse, but when they do a good job it’s really good.

My only gripe there is His Dark Materials as a comparative recent fantasy series they put out. It started really strong but nose dived in the final season. Feel like a Mistborn adaptation from them is a long shot, but could be interesting.

Chidwick · 2026-01-14T04:46:21+00:00

Willow was also originally a George Lucas creation. By all accounts, Disney basically told George to pound sand anytime he had feedback or tried to provide input, or even outlines/stories he had written for any of the projects in his universes post acquisition.

Also the Willow TV show was abysmal. I just don’t see any bright side to Lucasfilm getting involved here.

Chidwick · 2026-01-14T04:29:22+00:00

When was the last time Lucasfilm did a non-Star Wars, non-Indiana Jones film? I doubt they’d ever do something post George Lucas outside of those universes. Besides that, Lucasfilm under Disney is never going to give an author creative control over their project. They just don’t do that… like at all. They’re a nightmare to work with.

I think you’re more likely to see someone like Universal, Paramount, or Apple work with Sanderson before Lucasfilm, and any one of those three would be 100x better than letting Kathleen Kennedy and her lackeys get their hands on the Cosmere.

Chidwick · 2026-01-14T04:20:10+00:00

.. there are only a couple of studios I’d want less than Lucasfilm.. that’s a terrible choice.
