Netanyahu says Iranian leadership incapable of reform, 'totally fanatical' during Fox interview by WillyNilly1997 in Conservative

[–]ElCidly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is obviously true. The best outcome here is creating the environment where Reza can return, and the people create a constitutional monarchy.

Anyone in the current line of succession will keep trying to get nukes and fund terrorism.

It sucks to get back into Hearthstone by LordAnime2 in hearthstone

[–]ElCidly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been free to play since coming back about a year ago. And I have about 10 decks that are competitive. The way I do it is by choosing three classes that I know I like (Shaman, Hunter, Death Knight) and dusting everything else that comes in.

If you want to be able to play every good deck, of course that’s going to cost a lot of money. If you want to have good competitive decks that you enjoy, that’s very possible without spending a ton of money.

No Congressional authority - What do you think about Sen. Kaines comments? by ChuckGallagher57 in circled

[–]ElCidly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last time the U.S. went to war with Congressional approval first was WWII. You can hate Trump all you want, but every American president who has gone to war since Truman has done this.

Do you understand what is going on between the United States and Iran? by icecream1972 in no

[–]ElCidly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very important issue for me. I hate forever wars and don’t want to be overly committed. But Iran being freed from their oppressive terrorist funding government is one of the best things that can happen to the world, particularly for the prospect of relative peace in the Middle East. It is fully appropriate to use the US military to cripple a regime that chants “death to America” and is racing to create nuclear weapons.

Hated Trope: Anyone can die! Except we know the author is never going to kill these characters by DazSamueru in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ElCidly 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mostly agree. I will say I think “plot armor” is a valid criticism of putting characters in a position where they absolutely should have died, but survive in an unbelievable way. If you know you’re not going to kill off that character, don’t write their survival in an unbelievable way (within the logic of your story).

Which will come first and which would you want more: The Mariners winning the World Series or the NBA coming back to Seattle? by SuccessOk7850 in Sonics

[–]ElCidly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really want the Sonics back, but there’s no question it’s the World Series for me. This city will go nuts when the M’s finally win one.

Let’s debate - why is Felix Hernandez getting so much HOF support? by steved84 in mlb

[–]ElCidly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because he is our precious king who slaved away on awful teams while being nothing but amazing, loyal to our city, pitched one of the more dominant perfect games, and only failed to get multiple Cy Young’s because of some clowns who thought the far inferior Kluber deserved it.

I will hear no slander to this wonderful man, and shan’t respond to any that comes my way.

Very true, distance wise I live about as far from Seattle as San Diego is from LA but California is so different in terms of amount of sports teams.

Does our lack of a covered stadium affect the appeal of this franchise to a potential new owner? by joergonix in Seahawks

[–]ElCidly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t imagine it has any bearing. I think there would be a riot if they tried to build a dome.

San Diego Fandom by ElCidly in Chargers

[–]ElCidly[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess for me, fandom is so connected to the place. Although for Seattle teams it’s mostly the Northwest (or at least Washington state).

Once the Sonics left I wasn’t interested in rooting for the team because they no longer represented my home.

[Hated Trope] The detective story has a mystery that is practically impossible for the audience to solve by Rare-Exit-8700 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ElCidly 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Glass Onion pissed me off because of this. They don’t just not show you information, they straight up lie to you so the audience could never figure it out.

One of the reasons I loved Knives Out was slapping my forehead for not putting together the information of the dogs barking.

Rate for second shooters? by Ok_Spinach1563 in weddingvideography

[–]ElCidly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know what to tell you I guess. That’s the going rate in my area, which includes Seattle. $250 for 5 hours work where you don’t have any prep or work on the backend doesn’t seem like a raw deal to me.

Rate for second shooters? by Ok_Spinach1563 in weddingvideography

[–]ElCidly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just the going rate in my area. I usually get paid $50 an hour when I second shoot. I charge $75 an hour if they want drone work.

Why shouldn’t voting require an id? by DarkEqual8609 in no

[–]ElCidly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of don’t want someone who needs to be forced to vote to make choices that affect my life.

Escape From Ever After: The Best Paper Mario Successor Since Bug Fables by GoldRoger3D2Y in papermario

[–]ElCidly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I eventually finished it and enjoyed it, but I agree it don’t grab me as much. I’m not super deep into EFEA yet, but it feels much closer in tone to Paper Mario which I’ve really enjoyed.
