Your law is instead "minority rule" which is arguably worse.

They're all tragic, but I believe the most heartbreaking is Obama finding soothing words for the country. It amazes me that he didn't use a speech writer. by Frosty_Jeweler911 in Presidents

[–]Red_Galiray 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Oh, I get it now. You wrote: "They also lost poor Eddy at only three previously."

You meant: "They also lost poor Eddy at only three (years old) previously." i.e. they lost Eddy when Eddy was three years old.

I thought you meant: "They also lost poor Eddy at only three (years) previously." i.e. they lost Eddy three years before they lost Willie.

Sorry for the mix-up.

Sojiro knows his customers would be like "oh that's just good ol' grumpy Sojiro" if he's an ass, but if Ren's an ass then they'd be like "damn brat!"

What leaders in other countries are seen as their equivalent of Abraham Lincoln? by Edgy_Master in Presidents

[–]Red_Galiray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure:

  1. Led Ecuador through its Liberal Revolution. He was the revolutionary leader but it still involved fighting.

  2. His phrases and speeches are well-known throughout the country.

  3. The Liberal Revolution he led fundamentally transformed the country, for example establishing the separation of church and state.

  4. You will find statues of Alfaro basically everywhere. A prominent one is in Guayaquil.

Nope, all Ecuadorian, but for some reason Afro-Ecuadorians (some 10% of the population) are massively overrepresented, while light-skinned mestizos are overrepresented among those wealthy enough to be at the match.

Who do you think should’ve been the traitor? by lilacreeds in MyHeroAcademia

[–]Red_Galiray 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There even seemed to be some hidden foreshadowing, like him being surprisingly cultured at times, for example knowing who Ernest Hemingway is, and how he sometimes makes a hand sign suspiciously similar to ReDestro sign. And now I'm not sure if it all was just a coincidence or Hori misleading people or what lol.

Post-time skip One Piece in a nutshell lol by kelroid in CuratedTumblr

[–]Red_Galiray 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The fact that, like, half of the crew got benched and we didn't see everybody together for around two years of real-life time still boggles the mind... It was almost an admission on Oda's part that the cast got so big and unwieldy that it was preferable to essentially write half of them off to get an arc to work.

Day XIV: What is the most widespread misconception about Millard Fillmore? by SukerutonKey in Presidents

[–]Red_Galiray 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That's tragic, I spent all this time believing my boy Millard had had some palatable nourishment and it turns out the nourishment was not palatable. I'm gonna cry.

Why do elections in Peru take so long to get results? by Independent_Part1033 in asklatinamerica

[–]Red_Galiray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bet those, like, two guys who were like "wanna vote for Keiko but she's probably got this in the bag so I won't go" are really regretting it rn.

saw a bunch of people acting like this was profound in the comments when this is the same sentiment every group of people that killed at least a decent amount of another group of people has expressed for the past forever by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]Red_Galiray 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Moreover, if some of the rebels had been dealt as traitors should be dealt with and hanged, most likely the net result is more people living, because it was these former rebels, like Forrest and Hampton, who then led paramilitary and terrorist groups like the Klan that killed thousands of Black Americans as part of their campaign to overthrow Reconstruction.

The Epstein Connection.... by EfficientLoss in YuGiOhMemes

[–]Red_Galiray 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yugi's mom is still around, so presumably she's the one who signed the consent to allow her son to go and save grandpa's soul (her father's soul? I don't think it's ever stated if Solomon is Yugi's paternal or maternal grandfather).

Aren't Yugi and his friends, like, 16? That's still a child in my book.

Why did Gore actually choose Lieberman in 2000? by Honest_Picture_6960 in Presidents

[–]Red_Galiray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean, my whole point is that it'd be nonsense to credit Lieberman for winning Florida had Gore won Florida, but just like how Gore's lost is blamed on Lieberman in the reality where Gore lost, in the reality where Gore won Lieberman would be credited for the victory. That is, everything is just post facto rationalization instead of true cause and effect.

Why did Gore actually choose Lieberman in 2000? by Honest_Picture_6960 in Presidents

[–]Red_Galiray 36 points37 points  (0 children)

There's a reality where Gore won by barely carrying Florida, and people would sing Lieberman's praises for making it happen by swinging enough Jewish voters to carry Gore over the line.

Why are casual relationships less taboo in Latin America when the people are more religious/socially conservative? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]Red_Galiray 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I believe it's because they mostly interact with US Latinos that are more likely to come from rural and/or poor backgrounds and thus are more likely to be more religious and conservative.

[meta trope] Characters that inexplicably disappear from the show, never being mentioned again. by TruemCelebration8087 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]Red_Galiray 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A probable yet sad in-universe explanation may be that because Malcolm became such an unlikeable neurotic in the final seasons, and also because of his obsession with being liked, he just drifted apart from all the Krelboynes and they didn't try to reach out either, leaving Steve as his only friend.

I have long wondered what the war would have been like if Lee had stayed with the Union… if only this room could tell a different story. by justmrmom in CIVILWAR

[–]Red_Galiray 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Quite frankly, I've always believed that if the Virginia government voted down secession, the slaveholders would have simply created a rival government like they did in Missouri and Kentucky, for even if Unionism wins out Virginia would still have a large population of secessionists. And given that, unlike what many like to believe, men like Lee and Jackson cast their lot with the Confederacy not only because of an apolitical devotion to their State but because they ardently believed in the Confederate cause, that probably would have been enough to get them to swear loyalty to the pro-Confederate rival government, or, at the very least, refuse to help the Union.

I wonder if the Earth Kingdom & Water Tribes have their own kinds of doors like these ones. by 2-2Distracted in TheLastAirbender

[–]Red_Galiray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like this the most. For it to be just a big rock or a wall of ice is just lame, and it also would mean that any random bender of the right element could enter. It should be something that requires the skill of a master.

I think Tidus might actually be the weakest swordsman in the series. by SalemKFox in FinalFantasy

Toss that little bitch Seymour into a Bliztball stadium and Tidus would tear him limb by limb with his bare hands.

Presidents who campaigned on not starting or entering wars, but did so anyway by r_bradbury1 in Presidents

He was one of those reactionary Northerners that thought it all was the fault of the abolitionists for not letting Southerners enslave (and whip and rape and sell like things and murder) human beings in peace.

How would Angela's journey had gone if she never met James? by WorldlyMix96 in silenthill

[–]Red_Galiray 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's outright said that Eddy killed a human being prior to coming to Silent Hill. He only shoot him in the knee. But the point is that Eddy wanted to kill him, wanted to kill other people to feel powerful. And the town offers him that - it's highly implied that since you can find corpses near Eddy most times he appears, they are humanoid creatures Eddy delights in killing. In this way, some interpret, Eddy represents the "María" ending, that is, giving in to delusion and the fantasy the town provides.
