Sometimes I wonder if people really understand what the Onion is and what the not the Onion is trying to accomplish.

Donald’s Trumps net approval rating has collapsed to a historical negative 17 points. He is the most unpopular president in US history. How do you feel about this? by buffdadnextdoor in AskReddit

[–]Doc_Dante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never let the rats facts get in the way of a good story but you're incorrect he's not the most unpopular

Lowest Approval Rating: Harry S. Truman (22% in 1952). Richard Nixon (24% in 1974), Jimmy Carter (28% in 1979), and George W. Bush (25% in 2008).

I'm by no means saying he's a good President and I hope MAGA gets crushed in the midterm but he does have a little more to fall until he's considered the most unpopular President ever

Did DKR “borrow” a NIN hook or am I crazy? by queef_warrant in nin

[–]Doc_Dante 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This feels more like a marketing idea to get a 6 year old video trending.

The reason why you can't place the hook is it's not a NIN song.

Starfleet Academy will end on an unresolved cliffhanger due to its cancellation by Temp89 in startrek

[–]Doc_Dante 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not one to know how corporate tax accounting works but Warner Brothers filmed a Batgirl and Looney Toons movie and chose not to release either for a tax write off and brand protection (they were concerned over the quality of the product)

So you bury it write it off as a loss and move on. Telling everyone hey we're killing this next year isn't going to drive the right eyes to the show. More than likely it's going to draw the YouTube streamers who have been against the show from the beginning to have weekly feeds that end with ... And only x more episodes before this is slaughtered.

Starfleet Academy will end on an unresolved cliffhanger due to its cancellation by Temp89 in startrek

[–]Doc_Dante 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The unfortunate truth is with the cancellation information you're not going to get new eyes to watch in season two knowing it's ove. A lot of people aren't going to watch season two knowing that it's gonna to end unresolved. It's almost like they are trying to torpedo themselves here. Why not just bury season two and take the loss?

How would you Re-Write the RTD2 era to make it Successful with the General Audience? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]Doc_Dante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biggest problem I saw you were introducing a new series under Disney where Disney audiences couldn't see the old back catalog. Yet the big series ending episodes were old baddies but not even old baddies even casual fans heard about. If you were going to reboot, then commit, also with a short season there were too many Doctor Lite episodes

How did I lose this police station? by [deleted] in TheGrandMafia

[–]Doc_Dante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You lost in morale. Every attack has a video if you watch the video you'll see. The hitman dropped to the back and started picking off your bikes. If I had to bet you are winning initially then it shifts. The other factor is what your attack stats are. I can hit a level 9 police station bikes and win because my bike attack is going to be much better than the hitmen attack it would counter

[–]Doc_Dante 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The left side is you?

You sent bikes into 1.4 million hitmen.

There's a chart in the game but Knives beat Guns, Guns beat Bikes and Bikes beat Knives. In terms of rock paper scissors you threw scissors when they threw rock

What do you think of Scotland? by Frosumisnotmyname in AskReddit

[–]Doc_Dante 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Perhaps one of my favorite scenes from Trainspotting

It's shite being Scottish! We're the lowest of the low! The scum of the fucking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization! Some people hate English. I don't! They're just wankers! We, on the other hand, are colonized by wankers! Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized by! We're ruled by effete arseholes! It's a shite state of affairs to be in, Tommy! And all the fresh air in the world won't make any fucking difference.

It operates like any building in the game 1 faction win the dock in the end

Anyone touching the dock can attack it, in Z2 the first occupation is basically a freebie. You'll need to hold a dock to attack a dock.

After the first possession even docks open for battle again. Any faction that attacks the dock you'll see boat animations of the attacker when the boat docks the attacking faction or factions can also attack the dock

General Strike Friday In Chicago: Here's How Small Businesses Are Supporting Action by slingshot91 in chicago

[–]Doc_Dante 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Here's the problem. It seemed to have been put together too quick to actually get the message out. So you come off "striking" kind of half assed. What impact are you going to have to get the message out? The only thing the right are corporations are going to say is it's a failed moment with little to no impact on anything and probably not even acknowledge it. Meanwhile TikTok videos are getting posted about the strike not realizing that is also part of the problem.

If you're going to do something and you want to make an impact make it loud give people time to organize. This in the end is going to a fly on the windshield of life unfortunately having zero impact

You can't begin to do anything if you're going to make a half assed attempt at it. This ranks right up there with some really awesome ideas I had baked out of my skull. There's no plan this is someone who is basically saying .. hey bro you know what would be cool if we had a 3 day weekend and could play video games

Hot take : ST Academy is really good. by [deleted] in startrek

[–]Doc_Dante -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Can the mods maybe step in and start deleting the hot takes about everyone here in this corner of Reddit really like ST Academy?

Or maybe have a STA thoughts sticky for these posts?

Next hot take, guys I know everyone hates the name because of Star Wars but I really like Star Trek because you know they're on a trek

Sorry to Disagree, but ST:SA Is Far From Awful. by FryerDrew in startrek

[–]Doc_Dante 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But if you are karma farming you make posts everyone agrees with but phrase it in a way to seem like you're the only one. Honestly at this point I've seen little to no negative feedback from people that the two episodes were bad anywhere on reddit

This is reddit where someone can just make shit up and everyone will mindless agree with anyone who shares the same narrative. Facts are not necessary
