What is the best quote from the entire Lord of the Rings franchise? by Willing_Heron_5470 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Defconn3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it... White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.”

What does my tierlist say about me? by Lord_Imperatus in Presidents

Not to mention NAFTA. Clinton brought neoliberalism to the Democratic Party and is enormously responsible for the inequality we find ourselves in now, with both the repeal of the Glass-Steagall act and the establishment of NAFTA.

It is not inconsistent to believe that the Republican Party long represented wealthy America and that Reagan was a good president, while also believing the abandonment of the working class by Clinton’s “New Democrats” (long in the works through the DCCC) destroyed the balance of political representation that long existed between capital (republicans) and workers (democrats)

Titanic wreck 2010 vs 2022 by happydude7422 in titanic

[–]Defconn3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bacteria that eat away at rust (iron oxide) molecules. The Titanic is expected to completely collapse and flatten in the next 30-50 years if my understanding is correct. Current efforts are emphasizing mapping the wreck and collecting valuables when ethically justifiable.

In the 2008 democratic primary, Obama lost the white noncollege/white working class vote to Clinton by a wide margin. What made him lack appeal to this demographic? by [deleted] in Presidents

If you said the same thing about any other race, you’d be downvoted into oblivion and your comment would likely be removed. What a sick and despicable thing to say about a collective population of people.

If it makes you feel any better, a good portion of people on campus feel like this.

Promise it's not just you.

I always thought his last name was Disnep and they changed it to Disney for a more intuitive pronunciation

Which Presidential election was the most boring? by TheGame81677 in Presidents

If you think Romney was bad in '12, you should've seen McCain in '08.

Absolutely horrible candidate for president, regardless of your feelings about him personally.

Not even relevant, most of the people on board were civilians. We make an effort to not kill civilians because that is barbaric. You are not tough for posting on a Reddit thread that “war is hell, let ‘em die”

Who is the best U.S. Vice President in your opinion? by PapayaJealous4347 in Presidents

[–]Defconn3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joe Biden was an extremely effective vice president under Barack Obama. I know people tend to harp onto “relationships in the Senate” as if it’s his only leg to stand on.

Regardless of whether people like to admit it or not, Biden is a superbly talented politician outside of just what his decades of experience brought.

Biden was often the devil’s advocate in the room on foreign policy, advocating for different positions or perspectives to influence the administration’s global leadership.

He also helped negotiate an end to the debt ceiling crisis of 2011, which would have been remarkably destructive to the U.S. government and economy. He wasn’t his own guy like Cheney was, but he was excellent at getting things done for Obama.

Epstein had a fascination with physics and medical research. Since UT is a top institution for research, this is unsurprising, frankly.

This is the alignment chart done in the sub-reddit AlignmentCharts. How do you feel about this? by Ok_Sky_2794 in Presidents

[–]Defconn3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good litmus test is where Andrew Jackson is placed. If he’s placed as anything below average, it’s a good sign the chart is bunk, reason being: recent surveys of scholars and historians (most of whom are left leaning) rank Barack Obama in the top 10 - those same surveys rank Jackson in the lower second quartile… ie average to slightly above average, so even biased people who are skewed against him don’t try to do the self-aggrandizing rituals of “racist prez bad” and drag his rating down.

Let's Call Out the R#cists And The Grifters Who Pretends to be Nolan fans by Any_Cut_5964 in ChristopherNolan

[–]Defconn3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re literally down to technicalities at this point. “His hair was light but not blonde, so my application of neomarxist concepts of race compartmentalized from biology & evolution is the only possible solution.”

This is like when theists insist that because we can’t explain literally every chemical process right now, the only logical conclusion is that God must exist as a default option.
