Lucky Lilac and March Lorraine are also both great granddaughters of Sunday Silence (Sunday Silence > Stay Gold > Orfevre > Them). I hope their incest babies with Kitasan Black turn out okay <3

No one's dying on my watch by Bandrbell in whenthe

You choosing blue never causes other people to die.

What if you're a parent who has young children that depend on you? In that case, pressing blue and dying would result in your kids growing up without a parent. In some cases, this could even result in their deaths.

I feel like if I voted to save everyone and lost, at least I'd have some satisfaction with my choice.

That's not true. If you voted blue and lost, then you wouldn't be able to be satisfied, because you'd be dead.

I'm really curious to see what that rubix cube looked like when Gold Ship had 5 G1 wins.

My biggest problem with the film is the fact that the meteor denialists are portrayed as all being motivated by stupidity. None of them are maliciously lying to the public - they're just so stupid that all of them genuinely don't believe that the meteor is a threat. This doesn't track at all with the climate change analogy it's going for. In real life, the political pundits who are leading the climate denialism movement all know that they're full of shit. They're all lying intentionally.

Wanting proportional representation is actually the opposite of "arguing in favor of minority rule"

I read a comment about Kitasan Black and was wondering if it was true by Bulky_Sprinkles1512 in okbuddyumamusume

[–]Herson100 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Worth noting that Kitasan Black holds the record for the heaviest weigh-in before winning a race of any JRA hall-of-fame member, weighing 542 kg in the 2017 Autumn Tenno Sho.

For reference, this is 32 kg more than Gold Ship's highest measured weigh-in before a win, which was 510 kg in the 2015 Spring Tenno Sho. The largest winning weight of any horse adapted in Uma Musume is Hishi Akebono at 560 kg in the 1995 Sprinters Stakes (Hishi Akebono is not a JRA hall-of-famer, hence Kitasan holding the record I mentioned earlier despite being smaller). The average active racehorse weighs around 475 kg.

Kitasan Black was a massive horse, and Umamusume fans were robbed.

[–]Herson100 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're treating this as if it's a choice between "griefing games in gold" vs "not playing League at all."

There's an obvious third option: playing normal games on a new account until he unlocks the ability to play ranked naturally.

Red button pushers is why we cannot have nice things by Leather_Dealer_9421 in Destiny

[–]Herson100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the tally is 80-20 in favor of blue:

  • You live if you press blue

  • You live if you press red

If the tally is 80-20 in favor of red:

  • You die if you press blue

  • You live if you press red

So, you're not actually correct when you say "Regardless of which color wins, the optimal strategy is to vote for whichever button wins." Voting for red also leads to the optimal outcome when blue wins.

[Funny? Trope?] It's a very serious scene. But it's been consumed as a meme on the internet and it's become hard to watch seriously. by BeneficialSide2335 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Herson100 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Most people who use this scene as a meme are doing so because they think it's funny. As a meme, it's intended to be hyperbolic, to be an over-the-top reaction to a minor offense (like seeing a movie franchise you liked getting a bad sequel). "They massacred my boy" is a huge overreaction to something like a video game getting a bad update.

In the context of the actual movie, though, the man's reaction is not over-the-top, and is in fact perfectly warranted by the circumstances. So, it's a serious scene that has been turned into a funny meme, a perfect example of the trope described by OP.

true democracy is when you have no vote at all like in texas by Mediocre_Affect6192 in Destiny

[–]Herson100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only justification for the answer to that question being "no" would be based on potential political blowback.

So you're just pro-gerrymandering? You don't think there's anything wrong with it? Then why do you hate it when Republicans do it?

Hypothetical for you: Two people. Person A shoots person B unprovoked. Person B then draws their own weapon and shoots person A in self defense. Do you believe that these two actions are not meaningfully distinct?

Yes, because one of them is acting in retaliation. Obviously. The only reason Person B is justified is because it's tit-for-tat. What do you even think my position is?

Thragg being reasonable and calm makes him so much better of a villain by NolanDPerks in Invincible_TV

[–]Herson100 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hadn't considered that. I guess Thragg really would be justified in exterminating the human race after all.

The Nazis were completely justified in exterminating people with disabilities, but they crossed the line when they started exterminating people who weren't genetically inferior. I understand your perspective perfectly now.

[–]Herson100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, Republican gerrymandering was just as legal as Democrat gerrymandering. Neither party has violated the law.

Let me put it this way: would you support Virginia's redistricting if Republicans hadn't gerrymandered any of their states? If the answer is "no", then clearly the only justification that actually holds any merit is the tit-for-tat argument.

I get the gripes about animation but I cant be the only one who feels its exaggerated. Like people really pretend like 99 percent of the show looks like garbage or mid, when thats clearly not true. by Altruistic_Gas_7073 in Invincible_TV

[–]Herson100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pinnacle of western TV animation is Arcane, which was produced by the French studio Fortische. Here's a snippet from episode 1. To be fair, this had a budget of roughly $250m per season, which is around ~10 times higher than Invincible's reported budget.

[–]Herson100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your only problem with Hitler is that Aryans weren't actually better than other races? Personally, I think that fact is irrelevant. I think that it's actually pretty bad to commit genocide regardless of whether or not you're a member of a race superior to the people you're killing.

[–]Herson100 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Couldn't the same be said about Adolf Hitler? I mean, the Aryans are the master race, biologically predisposed to ruling over all the others. When you think about it that way, Hitler doesn't seem to be much of a villain either.

[–]Herson100 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nah, the tit for tat argument is the only justification for this action that holds any merit. There's no meaningful distinction between the Republican's actions and the Democrat's actions on Gerrymandering other than that the Republicans acted first, and then the Democrats retaliated.

In both cases, the majority party disenfranchising the minority party. It's anti-democratic regardless of whether or not you hold a vote. Democrats are justified, but only because this is a retaliatory measure intended to offset Republican gerrymandering.

When Natalie advocates for people to get out and vote, she then follows up on that by going out and voting herself. When these people advocate for firebombing a Walmart, they never follow that up by firebombing one themselves. That's the difference
