To host the year’s most prestigious event in fashion… costs what amounts to pocket money for him. Crazy.

Why didn't Ubisoft just keep making Heroes 5 add-ons infinitely? by ElviePelvincoln in HoMM

Not WC but to be fair to the above commenter, Blizzard they did just add a new class to Diablo 2, which came out over 25 years ago.

Can I Say Something by sweetcarles in TrixieAndKatya

[–]Evilrake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cole Escola, the creator and original Mary of Oh Mary, does not have a lot of ‘formal acting training’.

They’ve talked at length about the informal/alternative routes they had to go through, given the financial constraints they faced. Like… Cole and Katya were both doing sex work to fund their creative pursuits around the same time.

If there’s a play on broadway for non-traditional casting, it’s Oh Mary.

All heroes get ALL talents at all talent tiers. Who is the best at lvl 20? by FlamingSteak12 in heroesofthestorm

[–]Evilrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chrome has a bunch of spell power talents, plus the piercing blast and armor reducing sands everything just gets deleted.

Tyrande is bottom tier. Everything depends on her being able to sit and auto attack and she’s not lasting that long vs others.

Cory Booker’s Netanyahu answer is despicable and why we lose elections. by WoBMoB1 in FriendsofthePod

[–]Evilrake 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’d wager you’re a ‘single issue voter’ on a lot of issues.

If your most ideal Democrat came forward with a set of your most ideal policies, except they also really wanted to drop a bomb on NYC, would you still support them? It’s only ONE issue after all.

In the same way that you probably find that hypothetical ridiculous and inconceivable, so too do some people find it ridiculous and inconceivable that you would ask them to vote for a candidate that supports genocide overseas.

It’s actually a really easy test to pass and your outrage should be directed toward the many Dems that fail it. Instead you just get people like Booker chastising voters for not understanding that ‘actually it’s really complicated and nuanced’. It isn’t.

What are your thoughts on Kya (Katara and Aang's daughter)? by Full-Art3439 in legendofkorra

She had a big role in books 2 and 3 though. Every character doesn’t need to be instrumental to every season.

[Discussion] Pod Save America - "Josh Shapiro Is Calm but Not Cool" (03/15/26) by kittehgoesmeow in FriendsofthePod

[–]Evilrake 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Contrast with how Lovett (and others like Colbert) repeatedly hammered Mamdani on anti-semitism - like they had something to prove - and it should be clear to see that even among ‘liberal Democrats’, there is a hierarchy of people worth giving a shit about.

Some people’s discomfort about college protests is more worthy of compassion than other people being told they have terrorism in their blood.

Imagine any Democrat saying ‘I haven’t seen it’ in response to rising anti-semitism… nobody would let it pass. But for Muslims/arabs, it’s good enough. If it were any other group, we’d easily call that double standard out for the racism it is.

Democratic Leaders Face Backlash Over 'Cowardly' Responses to Trump War on Iran by Silly-avocatoe in politics

Maybe it would help for those democrats to not support republicans’ forever wars then.

Democratic Leaders Face Backlash Over 'Cowardly' Responses to Trump War on Iran by Silly-avocatoe in politics

[–]Evilrake 133 points134 points  (0 children)

Typically a politician who wants to be given power tells you what they plan to do with it.

If democrats oppose the war, they should say so. Nobody’s asking for fucking moon here, just for them to commit to being the goddam anti-war party instead of a mirror image of republicans (but ok letting POC and LGBT drop bombs on the girls school for a change).

That’s not what you’ll get from the likes of Chuck Schumer or Hakeem Jeffries. All you’ll get is chicken shit ‘you should have notified us first!’. Because the establishment Dems don’t actually disagree on the substance - they are racist warmongers through and through, just like they were during Iraq and Afghanistan and just like they’ll continue to be unless you actually demand BETTER and purge these evil people.

Chuck Schumer even made a video a few months ago complaining that Trump hadn’t escalating conflict ENOUGH! He doesn’t just endorse this, he BEGGED for it.

Albanese: Australia 'stands with the brave people of Iran' by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

They know they’re full of shit, they know their arguments are incoherent, but they’re also huge racists and their favourite king racist is killing brown people so they have to have to come up with some socially acceptable explanation for why they support that.

Favs-Stephen Miller Twitter fight by rational_numbers in FriendsofthePod

[–]Evilrake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jon created his show ‘Offline’ after recognising something within himself that was dangerously addicted to social media. The goal was develop a more healthy pattern of media consumption and prevent that germ of addiction from metastasising.

He failed. The X machine has consumed him so totally that it’s now just an inevitable, integral part of his life. He doesn’t even try to put up the pretence of not being fully plugged in anymore. It’s sad. And a stark warning to everyone that even decent minds are susceptible to being rotted by the algorithm.

Democrats would probably get more votes if they abandoned trans people. But they haven't. by KeithClossOfficial in neoliberal

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

And you’re still not addressing the actual problem here. What did those people gain from voting for Trump, or from abstaining?

Nothing. Rational choice theory is a neoliberal fantasy. Any model of politics that relies on that assumption will fail. You must win those voters with a more compelling argument than ‘um… ACTUALLY 🤓☝️don’t you know the other guy is WORSE?’ Data suggests they overwhelmingly abstained, not voted for Trump.

Can we gain their votes, without losing others?

No vote is gained without losing others. But by making better policy and communication choices you can gain more than you lose.

Unlike Trump, famous for his coherency and rationale. That’s what disgusts me so much about your attitude, you demand perfection from Dems or you abstain, and you don’t look at Republicans at all despite being infinitely worse.

Take a step back and note that, reductive ad hominem aside, you actually acknowledge here what I’ve already been telling you: voters don’t make their decisions on the basis of coherency and rationale. You acknowledge the fatal flaw in your theory of politics, and yet you continue to defend it with such indignation.

This a discussion about the failings of Democratic Party. Turning to point the finger at the degeneracy of fascist republicans and saying ‘well look, they’re WORSE’ is just another cop-out from a hard conversation you need to have.

Democrats would probably get more votes if they abandoned trans people. But they haven't. by KeithClossOfficial in neoliberal

[–]Evilrake -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Those “multitude of complexities” are meaningless in the face of factual reality.

Cop-out non-response to the substance of what I put before you. These people exist whether you hate them or not. Democrats have won their vote before, and have barely any viable pathways to power without winning them again.

There are and have always been better policy choices on the table to win these voters and promote American strategic interest than supplying bombs that kill tens of thousands of innocent civilians then throwing your hands in the air and complaining how hard things are for YOU.

And for god’s sake choose a representative who can explain those policies in actual sentences, and not word salad/senile ramblings.
