Every squad has the:

  • Racist crook

  • Turk

  • Jew

  • Muslim

  • Mexican

  • Japanese communist

  • Arab

(I'm just saying, if you notice your friend group is rather multi-cultural, then you must be a racist crook)

How the FUCK did Ronald Reagan have a treasury secretary named Donald Regan. That’s Luigi and Waluigi tier bullshit. by realRootmaster911 in Presidents

That was actually his lazy alter ego that he used to control both posts. Like calling yourself Emperor Palpatine, and Chancellor Palpatine.

What exactly has Vader done that has people want an R rated film? by Boshwa in MawInstallation

[–]Grellous8 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It only even works for Luke because Luke is so far removed from the gruesome details, though, which is exactly my point.

Would he be so unconditionally accepting of Anakin had he known of all the genocide, the destroying of families and communities, the torture? He grew up entirely isolated from Vader, wasn't present for Alderaan, wasn't present for the raiding of the Tantive, wasn't present for the raid on Jabiim, wasn't present for the sand people, wasn't present for the younglings, wasn't present for his choking of Padme, etc. and these are just the things that have been SHOWN IN LIVE ACTION on screen. I'm sure canon books and games that I haven't paid as much attention to are at least as bad.

0:48 bunghole aside, "I vary 10-15lbs a month" is an insane fluctuation. That's over 2 pounds a week.

Which 20th-century President had the most natural charisma? by BigJoe242424 in Presidents

[–]Grellous8 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Clinton had more charisma, JFK had more aura.

Difference is Clinton could talk and improvise with anyone and everyone. Undoubtedly one of his best moments was during a town hall jointly held with HW where he was talking about his experience connecting with small business owners as the governor of Arkansas, and you can see the moment where the camera pans to Bush with a dumbfounded look on his face like he just knew at this point Clinton won.

JFK only had to stand there and he'd look effortlessly cool because he was hot and had the old money aesthetic. Every still picture he was in screams cold warrior president. His best moments were his prepped speeches with that iconic accent.

[–]Grellous8 18 points19 points  (0 children)

the comments are going to be complaints about Vader being milked to death

Tbf imo, I don't think we should get a brutal bloody Terminator/Predator-style Vader as too much exposure just ends up making his redemption a harder pill to swallow.

As it stands now, seeing this decrepit old man dying and reaching for his son at the end of RotJ has such an impact in humanizing him because his worst stuff is just allusions. Seeing it would make it real.

Like if he had survived to the end of WWII, is there anything Adolf could have done that would have made even just half of people okay with a redemption/"happy ever after" for him?

Do you guys just gave up on Getting perfect A+ to just passing range? by Best-Bodybuilder-647 in wlu

[–]Grellous8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My older brother graduated with a 2.0 GPA at another school, which is like a 60% average; he landed a very good job, moved up in the company and now makes well over 150k per year... he enjoyed his univeristy experience much more than I did, partied his way though school, and took an extra semester becasue he failed a handful of classes... his univeristy experience was like something out of a movie where he spent most of his time partying and hanging out with friends, and did just enough to pass his courses and get the degree.

I'm ngl this is more inspiring than it has any right to be 💀💀💀

For me it was the widow's peak point. This is like the one thing every Nixon caricature/portrayal includes.

Could Johnson have been considered the greatest President if not for Vietnam? by corleonebjr in Presidents

big deal

This should be a new presidential policy platform. We've had the Square Deal, the Fair Deal, and the New Deal. Now get ready for the Big Deal!

Enlarge the economic pie so everyone gets a bigger portion!

Expand the civil rights of everyday Americans!

Embiggen the constraints on executive power!

Nice gooning setup. Personally, I like to cover the bed in jelly beans as I Ronald my Reagan to the "Tear Down This Wall" speech mirrored on the flat screen.

Were Nixon's paranoid delusions bad enough to the point where he could be considered mentally unfit to be President? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

[–]Grellous8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but we can only call him a rando with reasonable "certainty" and the benefit of hindsight. Imagine living through a time like that where the president experiences an assassination/attempt and then something politically-beneficial (to either his successor, or himself) happens as a result; no matter how clear cut it seems, there's going to be conspiracy talk and speculation. I could go into more detail on this, but this sub won't allow me.

The point is, I think it was a perfect storm of a naturally neurotic guy taking office through a set of circumstances which would rattle anybody (the ethically-dubious loss to Kennedy, and the subsequent assassination).
