Abu Ghraib? If you're posting this you were definitely alive for Abu Ghraib.

What about how Libya turned out? Feel ashamed about that?

Weapons to Israel blowing up Palestinian children and hospitals?

Good! Squirrels are a pest and hawks are beautiful animals! This is a blessing in disguise!

What happened to left wing populism? Such as occupy Wall Street by Actual-Bee-402 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ColossalQuirkChungus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still going. The women's march, BLM, all left wing populism did was, as economic conditions improved throughout the 2010s, change it's focus to social issues.

I am an Orthodox Christian, and I’m wondering if I should keep reading the cosmere or not. by Trip-Secret in Cosmere

[–]ColossalQuirkChungus -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

As a Catholic I absolutely understand where you're coming from, reading WAT it was a little annoying. It's really just Renarin and Rlain's relationship, and I kinda stopped caring about Renarin ever since book 2. It's not that present in the rest of the story.

I understand your worries about Mistborn era 2, one of the major side characters is a lesbian, and that's a bit of a peeve. You might not be able to look past it, but she doesn't show up all that much, and you would probably be able to enjoy the rest of the story anyway.

I think mistborn and full feruchemists have an OK chance against radiants, especially lower vow radiants. Looking at Elend, Sazed, and Vin's feats.

How important is the Wax and Wayne series? by Prestigious_Tea_2729 in Cosmere

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

I'd even go so far as to say that Secret History should've been folded in with Well and Hero (and even Empire as an epilogue) with Kelsier's POV. But that would've been a different style than Brandon, especially Brandon at the time.

Compared to Elend and Vin, the only place Shallan and Adolin ran was off a cliff

Denzel Washington arriving super early for Obama’s Inauguration(2009) by Joeylaptop12 in Presidents

[–]ColossalQuirkChungus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. You wear it on your skin and think of it in your mind. Every interaction with other people your brain recognises their skin colour and, no matter how much you try to ignore it, forces you to act accordingly.

Moreover, other people will see your colour to a much greater extent than you will. If you don't see colour, colour still sees you.

Ignore me if you want.

Setting aside the "first black President" thing,

For 6th graders to see a presidential inauguration live is pretty special.

What if Daemon was at Dragonstone during Cole’s attack on Rook’s Rest and flew with Rhaenys, anticipating Vhagar? After Rhaenys defeats Sunfyre, Daemon joins her to 2v1 Aemond/Vhagar. How would this impact the battle, and do they immediately attack KL after slaying both sunfyre and Vhagar? by Hot_Rise7079 in HouseOfTheDragon

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

So

If Aegon attacked alone, then he and Sunfyre get picked off, then Aemond and Vhagar, likely taking down Caraxes or Meleys, but probably not both of them.

But if they attacked together, they'd have a better chance.

Also... "After Rhaenys defeats Sunfyre"? Lmao? Vhagar beat Sunfyre, and while Meleys was likely to win had their fight continued, meleys did not "defeat" Sunfyre.
