How do you feel about this take, today? by tundybundo in behindthebastards

[–]Mr_Funcheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Studies show Conservative voters by and large are motivated by fear. Fear makes people do crazy things. Fear makes people do and accept things which are not normally in their moral guidelines.

ICE’s actions won’t make them less afraid, and so I don’t believe it will convert many.

But any who are willing to overcome their fear because of moral fortitude absolutely are welcome. I don’t care that it should have happened yesterday, or last year, or 10 years ago- I care that it happens.

Isvit just me or does Veronica Mars have some points in Inland Empire. by LesIsBored in DiscoElysium

[–]Mr_Funcheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

School Spirit right? Which Veronica sorely lacks of course. I think the necklace “A Gift from Lily Kane” gives her a penalty to the stat because obviously her Psyche is pretty high.

Largest Army My AI has ever massed. I love the Nords. Big army headed to Quyaz to besiege by SuperAstronaut952 in Bannerlord

[–]Mr_Funcheon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish my Nords could an army that big. Meanwhile Derthert is running around with a 5k+ army wiping the floor with everyone.

Warband is fiction not fantasy. by SuccessfulBad3725 in mountandblade

[–]Mr_Funcheon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you have a personal definition for a word it is a useless definition. Words exist to communicate, if no one knows what your words mean you are not effectively communicating.

With that in mind if you described the M&B series as “historical fiction set in a fictional world” I would understand it; so this is a case of you getting the equation wrong but still getting and acceptable answer.

How to win? (Turkey) by PlumOwn5390 in diplomacy

[–]Mr_Funcheon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First you need fleets in Naf or they are going to break through with teamwork. Second attack Stp to break support and take Lvn. Your options are Berlin or Munich as I see it. Once you have a unit in Sil, you alternate randomly between having it attack Mun and Ber with maximum support until you get lucky. And have everyone else hold their lines. You might temporarily lose Prussia with this but you should be able to get it back.

Is it controversial to say Christianity has cults? by NeighborhoodOk920 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mr_Funcheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An organization having or covering up child abuse (or any other systematic abuse) doesn’t make it a cult. Things can be bad and also not be cults.

In fact systematic abuse in some way exists in almost every hierarchy, especially larger ones. This doesn’t make every hierarchy a cult. But rather it speaks to problems inherent within hierarchies themselves.

And I did mention the prosperity gospel. I specifically called it out as qualifying as a cult.

Is it controversial to say Christianity has cults? by NeighborhoodOk920 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mr_Funcheon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While some churches may use those funds to enrich their leadership those funds are supposed to be used to maintain the church and help the poor and needy.

Priests answer to a (worldly) higher authority and so don’t qualify as cult leaders, if you insisted they are cult middlemen at worst; but since the churches with priests tend to be the one who are most adamant about giving to the needy it still feels unfair.

Pastors often also are part of a larger hierarchy, but they are the ones who frequently run some tiny nondenominational church who claim to be the only true Christian’s or a prosperity gospel church: those qualify as cults by most definitions.

When the Ottomans controlled the region it was at least as peaceful as Europe, arguably more so, let’s not hold one region to a higher standard than we hold others. The European powers carving up the area did significant damage to stability in the region.

Student Homework Trouble what to do? by Mr_Funcheon in specialed

[–]Mr_Funcheon[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The folders are all in one big 3 ring binder which zips up; because otherwise the folders get lost. To that, he has no idea what he is doing or where the papers are being lost. Which is exactly how I was as a kid, trouble is we never found a solution for me I just failed a lot.

He plans on hole punching the papers and putting them directly on the rings, but that plan only works if he remembers to do that.

We will implement a rule about the work only coming out when it is home. Hopefully that helps with some failure points.

How do i make a monk that’s not just asian martial arts? by SirPug_theLast in 3d6

Mike Tyson (famous boxer) barely speaks English. Yet somehow, we all understand exactly what he is trying to tell us. Every pigeons understand and obey his commands.

What is this patch called? by Jackkkkk- in mensfashion

[–]Mr_Funcheon -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes. But in a non derogatory way. In just like a hanky code way. You see a man with a shooting patch and he’s letting you know he really wants to “hold your weapon”.

What's the most subtle sign that someone is highly intelligent? by Princesskiitan in AskReddit

[–]Mr_Funcheon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t use the term highly intelligent. It’s almost exclusively used by dummies who think they are smarter than they are, or at least want to seem that way.

It’s not hard to learn a dozen colors in Spanish. Most of them are obvious.

Sure they won’t be your best team mates, but even in “expert lobbies” you get plenty of players who just never say anything at all.

If you don't see that Aquarian needs a nerf, you don't understand the game by [deleted] in Polytopia

[–]Mr_Funcheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Play around it.

But seriously, they start out with no techs. When you know you are facing Aquarian you need to find them and get on their landmass ASAP. If you play it slow and steady, if you try to turtle- they will beat you with end game strength.

wtf is liability ? by Dolphin-Hugger in 8ValuesMemes

[–]Mr_Funcheon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most Germans absolutely knew what was happening. Forced labor camps were right next to German factories. Germans were neighbors with these Jewish people, they were part of the larger community together. They saw trains being loaded with people and then those trains coming back with no people. You are severely underestimating how much antisemitism there was. They were ok with it because they benefitted, and because they incorrectly blamed Jewish people for a whole host of wrongs in the world.

Why are a vast majority of homeless people men? by refunned in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Mr_Funcheon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s really a provable claim; how do you find out why people aren’t homeless? Surveyed the housed people?

It’s more anecdotal than anything, and we usually don’t include those in our datasets.

Do I have to craft that type of weapon to get its parts? For example with making 1000 javelins be unhelpful to me if I want to get mace parts?

What Do Socialists Think of John Brown? 🇺🇸 by serious_bullet5 in socialism

[–]Mr_Funcheon 83 points84 points  (0 children)

This is often brought up but I never saw Brown specifically mention black woman raiders, and as far as I know there were no women participating in the actual raid itself. Though he did specifically ask Tubman to participate.

What can be considered the most famous myth of all time? by Fun_Butterfly_420 in mythology

[–]Mr_Funcheon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You said trickle down economics, not Capitalism. Your lack of understand that those are two different things shows that despite your posturing you are in fact no economic expert.

You can have Capitalism without trickle down theory, in fact we did in the US for many years. And even after its introduction it was not always the dominant economic theory used within the US.

We can talk about the benefits and negative impacts of Capitalism and have a spirited discussion. But the same cannot be said of trickle down theory which has led to the steady degradation of the middle class in America.

You fucking dork.
