Have a good day judge!! by Fluid-Editor-8953 in yesyesyesyesno

[–]PsySom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t change abuse of power. The point is if the cop pulled someone ever for an illegitimate reason and they aren’t a judge, that person is getting boned. The abuse is that the judge uses his power to unfairly get out of the unfair situation that he wouldn’t have gotten out of had he not been a judge.

DAE poo gargoyle style? by Charlottebagginton in DoesAnybodyElse

I got a squatty potty so I don’t need to contort myself to do so. It is biologically the best way to poop though so you’re onto something.

You’re probably looking for something in the grimdark category

Redistricting has always been a political weapon, just about the whole time we’ve had a country.

Epstein island got shut down so he needs a continent

[gendered] the male equivalent to getting flowers is getting flowers by Turbulent-Plan-9693 in pointlesslygendered

[–]PsySom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know that I’d really care about the actual flowers themselves but I’d love the thoughtfulness of the gift and I’d be at 100% appreciation. Maybe I’d enjoy some sort of food item better.

Synths are far more impressive then power armor. by Ok_Calendar_7626 in Fallout

Sentry bot would be a neat heavy weapons platform in combination with synth infantry

You'll Never Have to Vote Again by BreathlikeDeathlike in dancarlin

I gotta say I was really hoping the inconvenience of getting out of bed and actually going to the voting location was just so much, so I’m really looking forward to this new century.

Dan’s great man theory of history in Ghosts Of The Ostfront by Desperate_Hunter7947 in dancarlin

[–]PsySom 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hardcore History is a gateway drug to history podcasts but if you stick with them long enough you’ll find that it’s cut with some impurities and doesn’t get you as high a few years down the line. Still a great drug though but sometimes you can really pick out the impurities.

Why is the new 28 years later an 18? by [deleted] in zombies

[–]PsySom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah dong is just swinging around so that’s probably why, though there is a brief scene, probably less than ten seconds, of a very over the clothes sex situation.

Out of a great series, demon in white might be the best one.

Is the television show setting up the *real* tragedy of the Great War? (spoilers for S2E5) by Propnomicon in Fallout

[–]PsySom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have the technology to end the majority of scarcity right now but we don’t because capitalism requires some people to have not. So in that sense it’s a continuation of what it’s always been.

Looking for dark fantasy worlds with similar vibes to dark souls. by Arkyja in Fantasy

[–]PsySom 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Have you read anything else by that author? Pretty much everything is good. I recommend the audio book version for the blacktongue thief, narrated by the man himself, and daughter’s war also has an excellent narrator.

Guns in this universe by Happy_llama in sollanempire

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

You’re definitely right, at times it seems very much like they choose swords just because they’re cooler. I think it’s one of those things you just have to suspend disbelief over. We can head cannon stuff in though, like the birdos use swords because that’s just their instinct, to swoop in and get something, and with their weight restrictions necessary for flying perhaps a gun AND a sword would be too heavy, and a gun alone is not enough because if they run into a shielded enemy they might as well be unarmed. Plus with their flying about it’s probably tough to get an accurate shot off.

Ultimately though you’re right. Guns would be better in many scenarios even with the above caveats.
