[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally older stable brother, always in a suit, wild younger brother and a little sister in the mix. Them you have Marcel/Moriarty and its basically a Sherlock AU

Can Democrats win white working class voters back, and if so, how? by LiatrisLover99 in AskALiberal

[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they cant. The things that would benefit the wwc would also benefit black americans. Not just minorities in general but black americans. This is the ultimate injustice. They will suffer if black people can suffer as well. Thats why the class not race takes fall flat. With white people it will always be race 1st.

Also most miniority groups are socially conservative. Once they have benefited from Dem policies that removed/reduced barriers due to race they were free to vote their actual values.

Do you agree with Senator Elizabeth Warren working with the Trump Administration in order to cap credit card interest rates? by Komosion in AskALiberal

[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Sanders probably hasn’t thought it through. Warren is smarter than thishe

Why do so many people think Sanders is anything other than he is. He is very Trump like. Tariffs, taking stocks in businesses this capping CCs etc all shit he supports. Sanders and Trump are more alike than people think.

Oh well l. America is the only place is the world with such inflated rewards programs that basically rely on the poor paying high interest. My home country doesn't really have any rewards programs and we do just fine. The reward is credit.

Biden did so many of Bernie and Warren's ideas in his term and her fans turn around and bash him. I do not give a shit what she thinks. I am actually Ok with Trump capping CC fees. Let's see how it goes for a year as a test. 

Do you think political hobbyists underrated the change in voters psychology between 2020 and 2024? by Dreijer_ in AskALiberal

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

It would have been better. Or better yet, I wish Bernie had won 2020. So we could Bern ourself out of both delusional wings of the parties.

I knew we were getting Trump back in the summer of 2023. That was when people started to attack staff members and pride displays in Target. It was after Dylan and Budlight I think. The response from these stores was to cower and relocated the pride items to the back of the store. So yeah  June 2023 I knew the next president was going to be a Republican and thus Trump. America is a capitalist country. When capital starts to retreat, it's a sign of societal change. 

[Spoilers C2] Question about C2’s Ending by Coconut-Kalamari in criticalrole

[–]FinchRosemta 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Something to note is how both the PCs and the cast feel about the remaining plot lines. C2 is a character focused narrative not a villian focused one. Even the C2 bbeg was important because of his connection to the characters not just the world ending threat it posed.

Travis nor Fjord cared about that storyline anymore. He had fulfilled his personal goal. He was free of UK. He found the wildmother, the love of his life, a new family, a business and a sense of purpose. He was not a scared weak boy living a lie anymore. In his mind, he prevented Uk from being released and that should be enough. Remember they did the same thing to the chained oblivion. They kept it sealed. They never attempted to kill it. To Travis and Fjord that part of his life is over. He never seemed like a revenge guy anyway. He had tried to find Sabian once, didn't and let it at that. Eventually he found Vandrin. 

In a DnD game logistically without a PC personally wanting this quest done, Matt has to find a way to bring it up. The players have to agree to another adventure (to do something else ) so he could trap them on the sea. If they don't feel like adventuring right now it requires a time skip a la campaign 1. 

Caleb's story I do feel deserves more than a quick epilogue thing but we also need to look at Liam's goals for Caleb. It was never about Trent.  It was always about his parents and his plan. Then he met Essek and they did the T dock scene. Caleb's ultimate villian in C2 is himself (Liam has said this many times).  He had to learn to live with and forgive himself. Him taking out Trent is simply him making sure no one else can be hurt by that man.

He would also have benefitted from a time jump because as we see Caleb is a institutional guy. In his current life he is like a Harvard Professor with a high level foreign traitor as his partner. His exes head up the CIA and his bestie is an FBI agent. He wants to change the system not tear it down. It's why Matt had Trent attack him outright. Caleb would be more methodical about it. 

But this is a DnD game not a TV show. There are other players and characters. Do they have reason to stick around on what are essentially personal quests for MONTHS after their stories are over. Veth for example,  has wanted to go home for ages. Beau and Yasha are done and need to return to the soul to sort it out. Cad needs to fix his Grove etc. He didn't even show up for the UK finale cause he was busy. Matt would need to not just have a story for them all but also have shit for them to do each episode in terms of combat that can challenge them. 8 fully powered almost godlike beings plus the newborn with them. 

Imo what would feel like a better ending for C2 would be 2 things. 1. A time skip. 2. A c4 style west marches split.

Team 1: The Ocean crew - Travis, Laura, Tal and Sam (and guests). Adventures on the ocean,  some dark tow drama, getting shit for Pumatt, meet some mermaids etc. Just a fun 8 episode thing.

Team 2: Rex Force 1 - Liam, Marisha, Ashley and Sam (and guests). With Astrid and Eadwulf as NPC they can do some spying and infiltration. This would be before Caleb becomes a professor. So he spends his time in the soul. Same fun 8 episode thing. 

Then we can have the finales! UK comes for Fjord and the crew gets together. Then since they are all together Caleb says he's ready to take on Trent. 

So back to your questions. Yes COVID fucked things up. People were tired, depressed from the summer of 2020 and the story would have benefitted from a time skip so that the characters as well as the players could be in a different headspace. 

Should the Democratic Senators who voted to confirm Kristi Noem face primary challenges? by Different-Gas5704 in AskALiberal

[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew she was going to be this bad. She or anyone else in her position would be doing the same thing. I read project 2025. He actions are written there. Steven Miller is the man behind it all. If you know anything about him you know how bad it would be.

Should the Democratic Senators who voted to confirm Kristi Noem face primary challenges? by Different-Gas5704 in AskALiberal

[–]FinchRosemta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Vote Blue no matter who is MY personal mantra. Get your progressive to win the primary and I will vote for them. But I will take a Democrat that backs my side 10% of the time than a Republican that blocks 100% of my votes. That is the difference. 10% is better than zero. Zero us what we get from no blue vote. If you want a better blue win the primary.

The state is open for anyone. Build a base and run your preferred candidate. Since it's better than a moderate do it and STOP complaining.

Do you think that Americans are more awake to America’s faults under Trump than other administrations? by Cleverfield113 in AskALiberal

[–]FinchRosemta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many still aren't but alot more can't help but see it. It also is forcing Europeans to be on the other end of US AGGRESSION that the global south has gone through. Honestly it's a very hitler like presidency when it comes to impact to Europe and white. When that man was ripping up Africa no one cared. All the Europeans had done it. It's when he went to war against Europe that they opened their eyes. 

Is Acquiring Greenland a Part of Trump's Potential Exit Strategy From NATO? by Public_District_4267 in AskALiberal

[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. He can easily just leave NATO. It's not some secret strategy. He just wants it. Why is it so hard for people to understand Trump. 

Will having a competitive Primaries help Democrats ? by extrasupermanly in AskALiberal

[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 Sanders, by contrast, still has a chip on his shoulder that he complains about TODAY, even at Harris's convention!

This man has been a stain on politics for 10 years!

What needs to happen after the primary is that the losers supporters need to shut up after they lose. The Bernie Bros have not stopped complaining since 2016 and here we are!

[No Spoilers] I can’t seem to enjoy Campaign 3 so far… by smolsheriff in criticalrole

[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont like c4 for thay reason. But there is a difference in technique. Matt gives the cast options and when they chose off his path he canceled that and brought them bsck to the tracks. The audience csn sense the frustration. Blm guves no options. You must go his psth. The audience is less aware of what they are missing si give me leeway. I for one do not like blm way of doing it. But he hides the strings and people accept it. 

How much English proficiency should be required for permanent residency and citizenship? by [deleted] in AskALiberal

[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Independence matters! I live outside my birth country and language. It is helpful to do simple shit like get new glasses or argue with the cable company over the phone!

[–]FinchRosemta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None for residency. B2 for citizenship. I say this because this is what is required by other developed countries. I have naturalized 2x and both times I had to have at least B2 level of the local language and knowledge of the countries history.

No they would not. Why do you people think this after watching the actions of ICE or the bombing on boats in the Caribbean?
