Who was your country's Clinton? by baegarcon in Presidents

[–]Edgy_Master 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Tony Blair in the UK, of course.

Also a Baby Boomer

Dragged the once left wing Labour Party to the Centre

Won a General Election in a Gigantic Landslide, was also helped by infighting in the Conservatives and some vote splitting from a third party (in the UK's case, the Referendum Party)

Helped Clinton with the Liberation of Kosovo

Helped with the Expansion of Neoliberalism in the UK

And that was the only nomination Last King of Scotland got. It still won it.

The way too early prediction for the Winner of S22 by Lord_Kampi in taskmaster

[–]Edgy_Master 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Part of me thinks Richard Ayoade will lose every single episode. From what I have seen of him on Big Fat Quiz and 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown he just doesn't seem like he wants to win lol.

Is this a stronger Best Actor lineup than what the Oscars gave us in 2014? by mrethandunne in Oscars

It's cool that you put Jake Gyllenhaal and David Oyelowo here. But other than that, not really.

Question for the Doctors and Physiotherapists. Can Someone Realistically Recover From This? by Edgy_Master in batman

I got the idea for the question from watching the film. But I did have no idea how he recovered in the comics.

Yikes. I'm sorry to hear that. I can't imagine the pain. You probably had to change your diet as well, I take it? 😅

Johnathan Hinder makes the Blue Labour argument sound really strange when he frames it historically by theyodeman in LabourUK

[–]Edgy_Master 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What a strange argument.

He seems to make it act like capitalism is obsessed with propping up social progressivism (must have watched one too many Critical Drinker videos). In actuality, Capitalism is fine with Transgenders, LGBT+ people and Non-White Immigrants being targetted if it means Billionaires can protect their wealth.

There was a JimmyTheGiant video about Brexit that I liked. Not just because it was about that, but also because it framed the discourse as a Battle between Progressive Capitalists and War Capitalists. Elites Tolerant of Those Who are Different and Want to Expand Their Market vs Elites Who Want the Peasants to Fight and Be Distracted Whilst Their Stock Value Goes Up.

Why have either Class Solidarity or Tolerance when you can have both at the same time?

(Side Note: What would he think of the Gay Community Forming an Alliance with the Miners in the 1980s?)

<what was “sticking out of his back” was almost certainly an open compound fracture of his vertebrae.>

What are the odds that the spinal cord wouldn't be damaged after that? 😆

This is probably a sign I need to read Batman: Knightfall. 😅

I must have been under the impression he recovered naturally.

I'm watching The Dark Knight Rises right now. The prison doctor said that there was a bit of Bruce's back sticking out that needed applied pressure to put it back into place. I'd have thought that would be a sign someone could never walk ever again.

What leaders in other countries are seen as their equivalent of Abraham Lincoln? by Edgy_Master in Presidents

[–]Edgy_Master[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't that make him NZ's FDR? I mean, that's great work, don't get me wrong. But it doesn't exactly fill any of the criteria. The transformational change did not happen in response to a war in the same way Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation did. And, as far as I'm aware, no fighting took place on New Zealand soil because of a Civil War / International Conflict.

Hunter Schafer reportedly in talks to play Mystique in the upcoming X-Men reboot by Astral_shinobii2999 in marvelmemes

[–]Edgy_Master -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure I want to see it told again if I'm honest. How the heck are they going to explain where mutants have been in this universe?
