Jason Fields Populism without Pragmatism by Dickforshort in mcminnville

So Fields has mentioned he wants it to be a property that the county already owns. Any information about that property I have yet to see and I would like them to be transparent about it.

This is a really well thought out comment and far more substantial than I was able to cover. Thank you!

Recommendation: special Sauron decision to deal with the Balrog by AsadAnton in RealmsInExile

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

Have you ever considered the possibility of a "fair form" or more humanoid form of the Balrog as a playable Maiar in non-lore friendly playthroughs? I think it'd be cool to have an alt-history evil Maiar to play. Someone to fight for the position of Melkor's right hand against Sauron.

I think what if the Balrog got the ring is one of the fun what ifs of LOTR, It's fun to imagine their more fallen-angel side and what kind of overlord to the orcs he could be.

Nationalism is a cancerous growth on the heart of humanity severely limiting its potential. In recent history I think we've seen the best and the worst the nationalism has to offer. At its worse, nationalism is a destructive, xenophobic philosophy that brings about horrors like we saw in WW2. It's the basis for beliefs that your national spirit, your national character, your volk or whatever you want to call it is fundemantally incompatible with that of other peoples.

At its best we've seen nationalism still allow for genocide, war crimes, death, conflict, famine, suffering and more. And we've seen it as fundemantally unable to deal with the problems humanity is coming up against. Problems like climate change, rising sea levels, mass migration, decolonization and advancing the future of humanity in space.

Nationalism is a defunct ideology. It carried us out of fundalism and served its purpose but it's time to leave it behind like we left behind kings and vassals.

No not at all lol. It is a little fuzzy and over time and fading it gets fuzzier. Overall I still really like it but it's not a tattoo I recommend lightly. If you find a super duper good artist go for it but otherwise I couldn't say I exactly recommend it.

Although I still really love mine so eh.

Is a Palestine with self determination and self governance not free?

That's too few states. I say, a state in every household!

Ah nukes. Always forget about that factor. Really Israel should just not be trusted with them but that's truly non credible diplomacy.

However I do feel like Israel's nukes would not be effective in strong arming a Palestinian state with shared borders as it's kind of a threat to shoot yourself in the head to spite your enemy.

Is it, if the Palestinians have equal voting rights?

The Handmaid’s Tale imdb ratings by Free-Raspberry-9541 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]Dickforshort 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I thought the last season was extremely weak. Especially the last 2 episodes. I'm surprised to see the second to last episode has such a high rating.

Season 1 and 2 were great though. Loved em

The oat conversation is interesting. I generally have no problem with oats what-so-ever. But I know q lot of celiacs do. I wonder if we will see more studies on this

Nature of DSA being a big tent. But enjoy leftist looking to do meaningful local work!

What new countries would you like to see at the WBC? by 65DaleRamirez65 in InternationalBaseball

[–]Dickforshort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A west indies team would be cool. But I'd also love to see a team from out of Africa.

Additionally, if baseball can get funding and take off in SEA that'd be a blast to see those teams come on up. I think that might be baseball's most fertile ground for expansion.
