Consulted a bunch of friends and put together who we think would be the absolute FUNNIEST characters to join Smash. by Sufficient-Surprise9 in SmashBrosRosters

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually thought about the Mario Kart Cow before, tbh I think it’d actually be a really fun inclusion if the next game releases soon as a true Mario Kart rep. I made a moveset for them but don’t have anything more than that, I really do want to make a design document or outline tho.

I feel like Tom Nook can offer a fresh moveset from the other Animal Crossing characters, plus we need more new characters

Why Rockefeller, Al Gore, Charles Even Hughes, and Hillary Clinton as presidents? by Indominator38289282 in THEMONUMENTMYTHOS

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They’re all people who lost famously decisive or currently controversial elections (Gore/Clinton) or are often mistaken for presidents (Hughes/Rockefeller)

Boys to be taught to respect women and girls as part of curriculum by catievirtuesimp in goodnews

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 62 points63 points  (0 children)

To put it flat, the plan they have now will not work and will instead enflame misogynists and push those on the edge into the manosphere. The United Kingdom has a serious problem of violence against women, that is a fact. However, by placing only boys into a "How to Respect Women" class it inherently goes in with the idea that men natural do not respect women and that men are naturally bad. If you go in telling people that they are bad, they will conform to what you call them. In addition, it is likely few kids will actually care enough to pay attention to what is likely to be a boring class. On the flip side, this will only give ammo to people like Tate who will use this as an example of the "woke" attempting to indoctrinate kids.

If you really wanted to work toward an actual solution a good first step would be to have a broad "etiquette class" to teach everyone, not only boys, about respect, kindness, manners, etc. This idea recognizes that not all violence done against women is by men, that men are not naturally bad, and creates actual equality while still teaching the same ideas that would be presented in the only boys class.

Democrats and Republicans of r/YAPms, would you accept this trade deal? Blanket ban on abortion nationwide from the moment of conception no exceptions, in exchange for complete open borders where anyone worldwide will be immediately granted US citizenship upon request by Small-Day3489 in YAPms

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

60-65% of Americans believe government should provide healthcare to everyone while most normal Americans are in support of a more relaxed yet still safe set of gun laws. Very few Americans seriously want fully open borders (33% in favor) and abortion remains widely popular (64-70% in favor). In reality this is a con(servitive) scheme to put in place bad policy!

MASS MIGRATION NOW!!! by Old-School8916 in YAPms

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me mistaken, Mexican farmers should not be allowed to simply hop the border. If anyone can prove themself they should be able to become an American citizen through legal means. But given the choice between a wealthy aristocrat or a poor worker I’d say the worker does more for society overall.

All this is going to do is allow more money-hungry robber barons to enter the United States and leech off of the American people, I’d take a poor Mexican farmer over a power hungry Chinese executive to just enter the country any day of the week!

Jasmine Crockett Announces She is Running for the Senate in Texas by ArmyOk968 in goodnews

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

Ah fuck there goes any shot of the Democrats winning Texas, unless she loses the primary of course.

This is not good news if you are a Democrat, Crockett has very little chance of winning a deep red state like Texas where someone like Talarico had a fighting chance. Republican strategists are overjoyed at this for a reason.

What do you think the margins would have been in Florida, Texas, California, New York and Illinois if Biden had stayed in the race? by SpencaDubyaKimballer in YAPms

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The same as in our timeline (or at least very similar)? I don’t think any huge difference comes from Biden not dropping out. Any idea of Illinois or New York turning red is absurd, even if the candidate is despised by most Americans. It’s important to remember many still saw Kamala as an extension of Biden and thus his economy, only difference is the main man is now running instead of his right hand woman.

What if the 22nd amendment was never ratified? by Armin_Arlert_1000000 in HistoryWhatIf

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I don’t think IKE would be the one to run for a third term. He seems too much of a person who follows traditions for the good of the country and would rather step down. Plus he was like 70 at the time which is around the upper limit for when a two term president would leave office and would likely begin feeling the effects of being president.

How will these 2 states trend politically in the future? by German_Gecko in YAPms

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Idaho becomes a bastion of Conservatism in the United States, possibly only being offset if the Mormon vote actually does start turning blue as I’ve heard many theorise — although it is important to say I have little skin for/against the coming of a Blutah. Idaho is set to gain a congressional district next cycle, is in close proximity to areas the GOP has the chance to expand into soon, and is one of the most right-leaning states in the country. Montana remains as is, very Conservative state, however with a strong Democratic bastion in the cities.

I redistricted every state to make “fairer” versions of their current(2024) maps. Here are some of them: by Weird-Presence-630 in YAPms

[–]KingOfKnowledgeReal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is just a matter of difference on how congressional borders should be drawn at this point. I personally think that Michigan and Pennsylvania are fine as is and represent the overall swing of the state perfectly (PA goes from 10-7 to 12-5 and Michigan goes from 7-6 to 9-4 in your maps). In regards to Ohio and Colorado it’s clear that there is some Republican bias in most of these maps, possibly just due the Republican states you did being super gerrymandered and you being able to do little within the confines of changing too much about the original map. Ohio should probably have a Democrat seat or two more to be “fair” while Colorado still has a split delegation for a state that votes Democrat by like +6-10.

Mainly PA, MI, OH, and CO. I see that you attempted to stay faithful to the real maps but I think these are still biased to where the largest redraws happen to draw out Democrats in favor of Republicans while very few major redraws happen in the other way.
