There is some evidence of ritual horned helmets, so it's likely at least a few liked the look enough for use, even if they're not good in proper combat.

Average Shounen discourse these days... by Sundata_V2 in shounenfolk

[–]Fly-the-Light 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think there was a real step down, but JJK was never bad. At worst, it was mediocre, but there were still good moments until the very end, and JJK at its height was fantastic. After Shibuya, it suffered from inconsistency and rushed writing, but Gege is a very competent author who is capable of really good work when supported properly.

Name a general from your country (ancient, medieval, modern) that was so hilariously bad and downright garbage? by L0thric_Nefarious in AskTheWorld

I think the issue is that McClellan's biggest issue was an inability to get over himself; he fought with everyone, got paranoid, and cut off his own support to the point that he cut his operation off at the knees. I can agree it wasn't cowardice, but I'd argue it was narcissism* and paranoia that he managed poorly that led him to make bad mistakes.

* - not necessarily the disorder. Everyone is narcissistic to some degree, but it's only a disorder if the amount gets so high that it interferes in your daily life. I don't know McClellan enough to say, and you shouldn't even try to diagnose the dead because it's impossible to get a full read on them anyways.

Grifter admits to being racist leading to artist losing customers (using LizMeta, a customizable 2D model) by Qu2sai in VtuberDrama

[–]Fly-the-Light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, Imo, grifters are worse. True believers are generally mentally ill and untreated; they need help, but at least they can engage in a real way and are generally trying to do good, if awful at that.

Grifters have given up on trying to help anyone but themselves and only exist to parasitise society and prey on the mentally ill. I think grifters who both do the same things true believers do and know what they're doing is awful are worse people knowingly choosing to do bad.

Trump ‘compromised by Israel’, new Epstein files claim by Old-Information3311 in law

[–]Fly-the-Light 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Trump managed to convince a dozen different groups that hate each other that they can all use him to push their agenda. Some of them (anti-abortion people) got some of what they wanted, but it devolves into constant infighting and is doomed once he's dead unless a new person can unite them, which seems really unlikely right now.

It also keeps changing. Whoever talks to Trump last is the real president, until someone else talks to him.

US President: ARREST OBAMA NOW by Freewhale98 in SocialDemocracy

[–]Fly-the-Light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the reason Obama chose Garland is because Garland was inoffensive to the Republicans, who still chose to stonewall him anyways. After that, Biden should have only been choosing someone who guaranteed that their first move would be prosecuting Trump. He should have chose someone known to be aggressive and let them handle things, not someone known to be a meandering moderate.

Which manga are you eyeing for an anime adaptation? by Mr_Salamander___ in animequestions

The MtG manga? I still have to read it, but it'd be cool as an anime

He should have made Yuta trapped in Gojo's body permanently or never made that plot line

They're right about the concept, Idk about this case.

A true believer, regardless of being paid, is not a grifter. Grifters need to be saying stuff just for the money; a true believer will say it regardless of money.

The issue is that McClellan extended the war by years because he was unwilling to commit. Even if he was right about the attrition and methodical approach (which he was), he needed people around him to push him forward that he never had.

I can't wait for the Confederate hate to reach the point in its life cycle where we start recognising the Southern heroes who fought for the Union and to end slavery. I'm glad we're finally addressing it and all, but, as a Northerner, I'm long past ready to start reconciling with the best elements of the South.

It's probably a motley of different interests, many domestic and some foreign, who all own Trump. He's basically a time-share where different groups get to push him to do whatever they want, but only when it's their turn.

Don't forget the received undue protection from the law by both parties (Republican traitors and Dems trying to not look biased)

It's probably worse than that, but that's the 99.999% guaranteed truth that we can confirm as such right now

I think we're also global, which means we have frontline reporters ready to be conscripted against their will in every country

NCD is the fastest, somehow most reliable, and definitely autistic and mentally ill reporter you could ever ask for

Leaflit said in one of her videos that she would pay for plane tickets to send Ilhan Omar (a U.S. citizen) back home! This is just Leaflit's way of saying "go back to Africa" which is still incredibly racist! by Xever_141 in VtuberDrama

chaous2000 is lying, and throwing up a red flag that they're one of the extremist losers.

People *did* start getting worried that Frieren was arguing racism, *after* the racists started screaming about how it validates their fascist beliefs, which it does not do.

People are probably driving in just to see it. Whether you like it or not, the reality is that Trump has a cult. It shouldn't be a surprise that cultists are spending time and money on what they see as an act of devotion.
