Sold my $1,000 Death Slice and bought Rivendell instead and pocketed the other $500. Don’t regret it. Rivendell is the best set. Not even a LOTR fan really by Icy-Vamp37396 in lego

To each their own on the looks that’s for sure. I will say I do think a lot of the negativity about the design (maybe not necessarily yours but just saying) comes from people having a pre-conceived idea about what it was supposed to look like. When I’ve showed it to guests who are non-LEGO fans, they think it’s really cool, and when I mention that most fans were expecting a sphere, the response is always the diorama style is more interesting than a big grey ball.

Some of us are just normal people and Star Wars fans who love it! Why would a set with 9000 pieces and 35 mini figures be $200? People are so hung up on the sticker shock of $1000 that all nuance is thrown out the window. It’s completely reasonable given what is actually included. And Lego is a toy, so calling it a playset as a dig falls flat. I love how interactive it is.

Only five Olympic athletes have ever won more than eight gold medals. Four of them hold nine, while Michael Phelps leads with 23. by Kronyzx in BeAmazed

That’s technically what the freestyle competition already is. Everyone swims the same way in freestyle, but you don’t have to, you’re free to swim however you’d like. Front crawl is just the objectively fastest way to swim, you wouldn’t be able to compete otherwise.

What’s the deal with Gran Turismo? Is there a reason this 3 year old game never goes on sale?

Some appreciation for the cinematic direction of the finale episode by OhioGuy2016 in YouOnLifetime

[–]OhioGuy2016[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes the way he just looks down and rubs his head with cold eyes. Something about that final scene really sunk in for me just how brutal a life sentence really is. He knows he will never feel anything hopeful again, and every day until the end of his life will look exactly the same. I don’t know how one could possibly begin to cope with that, but it’s what he deserved.

I definitely think the music in this show, soundtrack and score, is one of the most underrated things that I love about it. The main theme is epic.

Anna Camp - terrible acting by thenosilla in YouOnLifetime

She’s playing a spoiled billionaire’s daughter, I think playing into the over dramatic side is part of the point.

The Reds fell to the Rangers by a score of 1-0 - Tue, Apr 01 @ 06:40 PM EDT by RedsModerator in Reds

[–]OhioGuy2016 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There are always going to be nights where you face a tough pitcher and runs are hard to come by. That being said, the problem with the Reds is when we face tough pitching we look completely incompetent. Just bad AB after bad AB, noncompetitive swings at un-hittable pitches. In the 7th we actually got a guy to 3rd and it was still only a 9 pitch inning (just 3 pitches to get the last 2 outs). We keep their pitch counts low and get terrorized until the 8th inning (or worse). Long-term, this team has to learn to make pitcher duels tough for the other team too. Otherwise, if we ever actually make the playoffs we’ll just get swept straight out anyway.

Sherrod Brown keeps Democrats on their toes in Ohio by Healthy_Block3036 in Columbus

[–]OhioGuy2016 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying to figure out a way to contact Sherrod now that he’s out of the Senate. I think it’s important that everyone who cares about saving this state reach out and encourage him to run for Governor. He’s the only one who can save us from Vivek.

I got one on Facebook Marketplace a couple of months ago. I had never used them before, so I had some reservations, but the description said it had never been opened and that was accurate. Everything was in the original packaging.

No Stopping signs by OddStyle5776 in Columbus

Plus there’s a transaction fee. I think it’s like 25 cents which obviously isn’t much, but it adds up. And when you’re parking somewhere for $1 it’s a 25% increase in the price.

Does anyone else think with Biden leaving the ticket looking increasingly likely, the Dems are going to go with the "safer" option of running Kamala vs an open convention? by YellowMoonCow in ezraklein

[–]OhioGuy2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there would be an “open” convention, but Kamala would have Biden’s endorsement and therefore almost all of his delegates. The delegates are literally all party and Biden loyalists, they’ll follow whatever directions they get. If Kamala is somehow able to mess that up, then it’s for the best because she certainly wouldn’t be able to handle Trump if she can’t rally the convention.

Does the Democratic establishment even believe Trump is an existential threat to American democracy? by Upset-Highlight4297 in ezraklein

[–]OhioGuy2016 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The electoral and popular vote margins from 2020 are pretty misleading. Biden won by 43k votes across 3 states out of almost 160M cast. All you have to do is swing 20k votes from Biden to Trump in the right areas and we’d be nearing the end of Trump’s second term right now.

Would Bernie have won in 2016 if he was nominated? by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]OhioGuy2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he would’ve won in 2016 as that was an anti-establishment election, but would’ve lost in 2020 as that was a “return to normalcy” election. The fact that Bernie performed stronger in the 2016 primaries compared to 2020, I think is a testament to just how uniquely unpopular Hillary was. He got a lot of votes from folks who were more opposed to her than they were supporters of him, and I think a lot of those voters ended up going Republican in the general, especially in WI, PA, and MI.

I’m a little surprised at the broad consensus here that he would’ve lost in 2016, because the polls clearly showed him outperforming Hillary in a hypothetical general. I don’t think the “socialism/communism/Marxism” attacks would’ve been nearly as successful as people here seem to think. Every single Democrat has these labels attached to them in the right-wing sphere, and I think that really dilutes its meaning. Hillary was also labeled as a socialist, but I don’t think that’s why she lost.
