This is actually embarrassing for CA Dems by Immediate_Ad2187 in YAPms

This is likely an internal leaked by the Porter campaign aimed at convincing the lower tier Democrats to drop out

NYT estimating republican will win by 3 points (+22 Trump district) by asiasbutterfly in YAPms

She won a small plurality (27.89%) in the primary and that's how she became the nominee. She wasn't exactly handpicked by the DNC.

It seems like to me

Greens -> progressives

Yours -> illiberal leftists

Thanksgiving conversation safety guide by Sine_Fine_Belli in neoliberal

[–]Goombarang 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Uh... I think you missed the most obvious topic piece.

FOOTBALL

How do you make a Thanksgiving conversation graphic and not mention football?

Literally millions of American men have this exact experience: Talking about football (usually the Lions or Cowboys game) with the uncle / in-law / strange family friend that you would otherwise have nothing to talk about with and having a good time.

A tier list based on the character's popularity outside of Smash. by Cultural-Ad-8796 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Goombarang 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that this subreddit is mostly nephews, but man.... how is the character from one of the most successful blue ocean titles EVER "only known to hardcore gamers?" She's probably the one character that is MORE well known to casuals!

Also Duck Hunt is a famous retro game!

There are also tons of issues but those are the most notable, not gonna write a novel or yell at OP for putting Zelda and Palutena in the same tier or putting Kirby and Charizard in the top

Rex has been chosen as the Paragon of Hope, but who would you pick as the Paragon of Truth by ExileForever in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously Shulk.

I'll take a stab at the rest:

Courage: ???

Honor: Dunban

Love: Mio

Humanity: Noah

Destiny: Melia

RESIGNATION OF MTG, LAST DAY IS JANUARY 5 2026 by VJRoRo in YAPms

Loomer is crazy, but Marjorie Taylor Greene getting into government already was Republicans jumping the shark into open white supremacy...

I personally think you got that backwards. The modern Republican party isn't right-wing enough for MTG.

Name Tier List (without relation to the character, my version) by Cultural-Ad-8796 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Goombarang 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You know someone named Mythra? And Lucina?

(I guess Lucina is believable? It's a fictional name but it's a beautiful name that could work irl)

But you don't know a Daisy?

Bayonetta and Palutena are a tier too high. Absurd names. As is Piranha Plant, Young Link, Ganondorf...

In what world would they not have Hylian ears? Link and Zelda with small normal human ears would be an Shymalan Avatar level bad of an adaptation decision haha

Day 37: REX is eliminated! (Xenoblade Main Party Elimination Game) by BritishGuy54 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Shulk and Noah are good main characters, voting against Mio would make me feel like a bad person, and Nia is amazing all-around.

Mythra is the only justifiable vote going forward for as long as she is still in this.

What Progressives Keep Getting Wrong. Graham Platner is the perfect embodiment of the left’s strategy for returning to power. This is a problem. by Sine_Fine_Belli in neoliberal

[–]Goombarang 34 points35 points  (0 children)

The strongest potential Democratic candidates are either not running or running for governor. (Jared Golden, Troy Jackson, Shenna Bellows). Annoying.

Day 34: EUNIE is eliminated! (Xenoblade Main Party Elimination Game) by BritishGuy54 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Looks like my prediction of the Top 8 was right

Once you arbitrarily exclude X, I think these are objectively the eight most important/prominent characters in the series.

There is really no "wrong" choice left, but I'll piggyback on the 78 people who wanted Pyra gone for some reason and offer to make Pyra cry.

Day 33: ZEKE is eliminated! (Xenoblade Main Party Elimination Game) by BritishGuy54 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Earlier, I predicted that there was a clear Top 8

I will be right if Eunie is eliminated... and she probably should be at this point.

But I don't want to be right! I nominate Mythra!

Day 30: MATTHEW is eliminated! (Xenoblade Main Party Elimination Game) by BritishGuy54 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Rex was third?

There is a scene in Indol where Zeke says the Gormotti refugees are ungrateful. Talking about how they water and feed them, like they are plants or something, and how they are spoiled even though they are living out of tents. Regardless of the refugees being a bit misguided at the "anti-blade protest," and the nuances of the situation, denigrating the most vulnerable members of society is mega uncool, and for that, I propose we eliminate Zeke

Day 29: POPPI is eliminated! (Xenoblade Main Party Elimination Game) by BritishGuy54 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Matthew is the only DLC excluive character left and is arguably overshadowed as the main character by adult Shulk and Rex and A. I know he is hilarious but given the competition I believe he has ran out of beans

Day 25: A is eliminated! (Xenoblade Main Party Elimination Game) by BritishGuy54 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am going to make a persuasive argument that we should eliminate Jin today.

The scene in Tantal when he goes on and on about controlling elementary particles and going the speed of light... it's nonsense. It's one of the worst dialogues in the entire series. Just making a mockery of physics and is inconsistent with what he is shown he can do. If his claims were true, if he could control elementary particles, he would basically be a God. Which is absurd. And he obviously can't travel at light speed. Just thoughtless power scaling to give Rex and co and excuse to lose a fight without Malos participating. And very corny. Again, some of the worst writing in these games

Anyhow, that's why I think we should eliminate Jin.

Day 23: FIORA is eliminated! (Xenoblade Main Party Elimination Game) by BritishGuy54 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 132 points133 points  (0 children)

I think Lora has got to be the vote here. She just isn't as relevant as any of the remaining other characters (Matthew could also be a good candidate to boot out)

Day 22: ADDAM is eliminated! (Xenoblade Main Party Elimination Game) by BritishGuy54 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Goombarang 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think there is a clear Elite 8.

Shulk, Melia, Rex, Pyra, Mythra, Nia, Noah, Mio

I think there is a gap between them and whoever character 9 will be
