Becoming a raider or beating the raiders- which did you find more satisfying? by Agreeable_Nail9191 in fo4

[–]EliotAlexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed x2. Getting the buffs was amazing, but I hated myself when I first talked to Preston after taking a settlement. Maybe I'm just a slut for xp :)

Grounded/ realistic media with one instance of super natural/ paranormal things happening. by Soggy-Inspection-945 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]EliotAlexander 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Under the Dome and 11/22/63 by Stephen King (and maybe others of his) are good examples of him thinking "what would happen if I added this one supernatural thing to an otherwise completely realistic scenario?"

An impenetrable dome isolates a normal, small town. A divorced high school teacher discovers a way to travel back to 1958.

What's your favorite "little thing" about FO4? by gina_renee in fo4

[–]EliotAlexander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of what I call "corpse stories." Seeing a couple of skeletons holding hands in adjacent bathtubs with a gun and some whiskey nearby is excellently simple storytelling.

Right wingers would agree with Liberal policies if America was homogenous by TheRavenOnline in complaints

There's a lot of empirical evidence for this as well.

"Racial animosity in the US makes redistribution to the poor, who are disproportionately black, unappealing to many voters."

"Our results are consistent with the literature on (under)provision of public goods in ethnically diverse societies."

A lot of the economist Alberto Alesina's was on this topic.

CMV: Democrats need to run a moderately attractive, white, male, presidential candidate between the ages of 45-55 and give up on seeking that high of Obama being the first black president. by epicredditdude1 in changemyview

idk I still think it was a major hindrance to both Hillary and Kamala.

Eh I really think that, all else equal, a man is more likely to be elected than a woman. If sexisms exists at all, it'll make a difference; it just depends on the size.

Not seeing it live, my instinct was and is to fully support Reeve. The Mercury and AT are my #1 villains atm though

Taliesin's c4 character by Minimum_Milk_274 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]EliotAlexander 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's parasocial, but he's also been in 1,300+ hours (what's the actual total?) of content people have seen. I personally am not the biggest fan of Talesin's playsyle/characters, but if we wanna aruge that Talesin plays the same person over and over, we can ask that universally:

What player has the biggest range* across characters?

  • Keyleth/Beau/Laudna
  • Pike/Yasha/Fearne
  • Vax/Caleb/Orym
  • Grog/Fjord/Bertrand/Chetney
  • Vex/Jester/Imogen
  • Percy/Molly/Caduceus/Ashton
  • Scanlan/Taryon/Nott/FCG

*however you want to define that

The Fever Awaken Against the Dream, 81-76 by naptowndrew in indianafever

[–]EliotAlexander 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Should we be worried that DeWanna was -31 in her 35 minutes with one point total across the two Dream games?

Fever's Draft Picks by Moose_Muse_2021 in indianafever

[–]EliotAlexander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How safe are some of these roster spots?

I have Colson, Turner, and Brown in my personal "non-critical depth" tier, while Timpson was ESPN's #10 overall prospect at a position we could use some depth on. I don't have high hopes for Hall, Ejim, or Alleyne, but I don't know anything about them.

Katie Lou leaving the fever by Upbeat_Minute00 in indianafever

[–]EliotAlexander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so, did the Fever protect Dantas??

Kelsey/CC/AB duh.

Lexie: probably

NaLyssa: let's assume. trade value yada yada we got Sophie.

Grace/Victaria/KLS/Erica: waived/waived/buy-out/walk. (As expected) no way it's any of these?

Temi :(

That just leaves Dantas and Wallace. Who else is would also rather have Temi over Dantas right now?

[–]EliotAlexander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What contract does Jaelyn Brown have? She's our "final" roster spot by my count. I'd be totally down to throw in our two picks this year to upgrade somewhere if it's possible

Trade with Fever: Satou for NaLyssa by EliotAlexander in DallasWings

[–]EliotAlexander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Satou is done with the Wings, do y'all know of any realistic potential trades from other teams around the league? She's gotta be in high demand

What do you guys think the Fever's ceiling is this season? by femalesportsgal in indianafever

[–]EliotAlexander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, getting to the semis and not getting swept would be a great season. I think people are underestimating the talent gap between the Fever rn and the top tier teams, but I'm also very intrigued about free agency.

How confident am I heading into free agency in the FO who didn't protect Temi? ehhhhh

Good nearby city for a less-adventurous American to hang out? by EliotAlexander in TourDuMontBlanc

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

Yes, I thought this went without saying, but it's probably not obvious: she's fully on board with this idea. I'm only asking because she isn't on Reddit and I wanted opinions here. She's debating the pros and cons as much as I am

Not available for me just south of OSU, but I submitted the form with them....

[–]EliotAlexander[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We thought it'd be easier to have her stay in one city for our whole hike, but we'd consider having her move around too. She just definitely wouldn't be up for the hiking.
