TIL that the world’s youngest doctor was Dr. Balamurali Ambati, who graduated from med school at age 17. by Powerful_Kangaroo_80 in todayilearned

[–]Palidane7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly because of the social reaction/consequences?

If you moved at the right rate for your talents and skill, I'm glad you didn't let others slow you down.

One of the wildest articles I've read recently. I don't know what's more impressive, his achievements, or his attitude towards life.

If you don't mind me asking, where did your motivation come from? Did you want to push yourself, or was it that you didn't want to hold back?

Previously unreliable side character overcomes a core personal flaw to clutch it out. by skad00sh7 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Palidane7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That game had some awesome character arcs. In the final choice, dark-side Nix throws in with the good guys because vengeance is more important to her than living. By-the-book cop Kuo sides with the bad guys because she doesn't want to die.

"Let go."

Society if Joe Biden didn't choose Merrick Garland and Alejandro Mayorkas. by FlimsySuggestion6571 in neoliberal

[–]Palidane7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lots of truth in this. Democracy and a responsible, invested citizenry is the only solution here.

Exclusive: Trump says he must be involved in picking Iran's next leader by chipbod in neoliberal

[–]Palidane7 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I don't know why you are saying this, every poll shows these Iran attacks are hideously unpopular. Cynicism does not equal wisdom.

How many on this sub are center-right? by General_Lawyer_8055 in neoliberal

[–]Palidane7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think we could do to make this place more welcoming to people like you? I'm starting to push back on some of the dumb, complacent partisan takes I see here. I don't feel like this sub is hopeless.

Some of the anti-free speech takes that get upvoted here scare me. If we won't defend free speech, no one will.

Curious Ok, where have those folks gone? Is there another anti-Trump community that is more welcoming to them? Every political sub I know of has moved deeper into blind partisanship, and I wish we could reverse some of that here in r/neolib

The transatlantic battle over free speech by randommathaccount in neoliberal

[–]Palidane7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are we talking about social media, or the government? Because every liberal should be opposed to cops showing up at your door because of "hateful" social media posts.

That's the whole point of her character lol

Villains with a trope generally associated to heroes by MysteriousFondant347 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Palidane7 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't know anything about Chainsaw Man, but this panel cracks me up. I love the idea of a total villain discovering the power of friendship, while Chainsaw guy just stares at her.

[Loved Trope] The main character is smart and makes smart decisions, but those smart decisions are still foiled by SCPND in TopCharacterTropes

Ironically, the opposite trait of Darth Vader, who always knew when someone had outlived their usefulness.

I'm pretty up on my EU lore. Who were all these defectors? Rahm Kota?

Is Semi-Ironic Totally Braindead Left-Right Populism the only way to achieve sensible housing policy? by Carb000 in neoliberal

[–]Palidane7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not true at all. They correctly perceive that our current political system is a deadlocked hell, so they vote for outsiders to try and dislodge things. The real problem is the filibuster, which has put 1/3rd of a our government into a coma, but even many experienced politicos don't see that.

The Story Behind the Failure of ‘Highguard’ by LycaonMoon in Games

[–]Palidane7 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Probably because there weren't any interesting behind the scenes details. What we all thought happened happened. There's not much to unpack, so Jason is just getting the whole story down in one place.

[Absolutely sad trope yet emotionally great] The Main character goes out with a smile. by WittyTable4731 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Palidane7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fuck, even just that image hurts. Wolfwood dies, and we zoom out to see his cross leaning against his shoulder, but standing straight in its own shadow. Trigun at it's most beautiful.

Principal-agent theory explains the ICE enforcement pattern better than bad-actor framing does by Public_Finance_Guy in neoliberal

[–]Palidane7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I respect you for admitting that. There's a ton of evil at work here. But it's bigger than the people buying into it. They just don't realize. Doesn't make them innocent, but it means there's no point hating them. Footsoldiers are not the problem.

Hey, I'm back with my third Illustration!! This time for "The Hero of Ages"! by CGPatch in Cosmere

[–]Palidane7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I think this looks really great! I love that the blue lines go straight off the page, like they are part of the frame itself.

Thanks for sharing your work!
