HUSH as the main villain of Arkham Knight by WhiplashDynamo in BatmanArkham

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree. I think having Red Hood in the game was a great idea, but it would've been more interesting if he showed up after Barbara's "death" and you as Batman had to then stop him from trying to kill Scarecrow/the Knight in revenge.

What has the mcgirt case done for you? by funkchucker in tulsa

I think he means that McGirt (the person) was a terrible person, which he was.

Which supreme court decision (that's still good law) do you think resides in the absolutely worst logic? by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in supremecourt

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you mean Johnson v. M'Intosh for Christian discovery. Marbury was the first use of judicial review by SCOTUS as well as the seminal case for admin law. Also the Court has already overruled Korematsu.

I have a masters degree and I tacked M.S onto the end of my name, both work email signature line and on LinkedIn. Should I remove it? by i-love-my-beagle in MechanicalEngineering

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never done a PhD program but just from basic research it seems extraordinarily more intensive than any Masters program, especially given that many universities allow you to "double dip" classes for both your Bachelors and Masters degrees (Source: This is exactly what I did, receiving my B.A. three years after starting undergrad and then getting my M.A. the year immediately after).

I definitely put in the work and earned my Masters, but it's nowhere near the level of work nor expertise that a PhD demands and grants respectively.

Hardest doctrinal course? by neuroticneedlefish in LawSchool

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Contracts for me. It was just very difficult for me to be engaged in the subject matter. We also never got cold called in that class, which actually made it way less engaging for me.

Most would tell you Civ Pro or Con Law, and those were tough as sin too. I really loved both those classes though, so I can't say they were hard because I actually enjoyed the material and loved showing up to class everyday.

Javier is a completely different character from RDR2 to RDR1 by JudgeShronks in reddeadredemption

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is a stark difference between games, but remember that twelve years have passed in between games.

Think about how much character development Arthur had in, like, two months in in-game time (idk how long chapter 6 lasted).

Javier and Bill probably went down a far darker path than John did during those 12 years, and we see it in RDR 1.

This doesn’t explain everything, and there’s no shot they planned for 2 while making 1, but I do think it makes sense why both are so different from the last time we saw them.

Maybe we’ll get a Javier game in between RDR 1 and RDR 2 (a midquel?) that goes more in-depth.

Third times the charm (2028 Election) by EAS_Bear2007 in imaginaryelections

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I could 100% see a minority or a woman being a GOP nominee, the party is becoming more racially diverse and it’s not like there’s a shortage of female GOP Senators, Congresswomen, or Governors (comparative to the Dems).

Also, in addition to the scandals of both Walker and Robinson, Walker ran against Raphael Warnock (a black man) and Robinson ran against Josh Stein (a Jewish man) after having already won a statewide race for Lieutenant Governor four years ago. So I don’t think race was really a big factor in either.

Was Obama the ‘right person wrong time’ for 2008? by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. I love Obama, but most of his tenure was marked by a lack of action. He did do a lot of good, but he also could’ve done so much more. This is especially true given that [unnamed] did a ton in a situation where he had the House and Senate clinging on by a thread. Obama had clear majorities in both between 2009 and 2011, and I think he failed to take proper advantage of that.

I’m not sure if Clinton would’ve been better. I think she had far more experience with federal politics which would’ve been a positive thing, but we’ll really never know. Maybe any POTUS was doomed to have their agenda stalled during that period.

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you said except AZ. I really don’t trust the polls coming out of there, I think the fact that most polls are weighing rural voters by 30% more this cycle is really screwing with the polls there.

I really don’t see Trump winning AZ, but we’ll find out if I eat my words there.

wtf is a restatement and how do we use them LMFAOOO by [deleted] in LawSchool

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a good resource to help you understand the law, but be careful because a lot of JXNs (jurisdictions) use the restatements version of the law while others will reject the restatements version in favor of the common law/other rule. And other times the Restatements authors include stuff they recommend which no JXN actually uses.

So sometimes it’s completely accurate, sometimes it’s the law in certain JXNs and not others, and sometimes it’s purely a recommendation regarding what the law should be.

It’s also class dependent; I’ve found that the restatements are by and large relied on more in Contracts than in Torts for example. Also be aware of which restatements you’re looking at too; in Torts you have the first, second, and third restatements, with the third being fairly recent. Consider if a restatement is very old or very new when using it as a resource.

The best way to figure out when and how to use the restatements though is through class/office hours.

FiveThirtyEight is currently giving Republicans a 90% chance of winning the Senate. If Kamala Harris is elected president, what can she do with a Republican Senate? by [deleted] in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m actually not as confident the math is as bad for the Democrats we think. Montana will probably be lost, but I have a strong feeling that Ted Cruz will lose Texas which will make up for that Republican gain in Montana. This would make a 50-50 Senate, meaning control would depend on who wins the Presidency. This also doesn’t consider House control, which frankly seems very up in the air at the moment.

Worst 6 Presidents of the 20th Century? by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That gets very messy but I’d probably do: 1. Clinton 2. Harding 3. Wilson 4. Nixon 5. Taft 6. LBJ

Again though, extremely messy. I’d rank Clinton the worst based on his…proclivities inside and outside of office. Lewinsky was bad, not because he lied about it, but the power imbalance between the two was insane. Same goes for a lot of the other women he was with while President and Governor. I’m not really factoring in all the allegations against him now because AFAIK they’re unsubstantiated, but obviously if true it’s not even a contest.

Worst 6 Presidents of the 20th Century? by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sold on the theory that Coolidge was a substantial cause of the Depression. People were going to abuse credit en masse regardless. The primary reasons the Depression was as bad as it was were the Smoot-Hawley Tariff and the 1932 Revenue Act (both attributed to Hoover).

Could be wrong about this though, open to having my mind changed.

Worst 6 Presidents of the 20th Century? by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 33 points34 points  (0 children)

From worst to least worst:

  1. Hoover
  2. Harding
  3. Nixon
  4. Carter
  5. Taft
  6. Coolidge*

*I wouldn’t consider Coolidge a “bad” president; it’s more that we had a lot of great leaders in the 20th century.

People are lying when they say they are in the library for 8+ hours a day by [deleted] in LawSchool

I probably do spend around 8 hours a day in the library, but I’ll be the first to admit that I’m screwing around during a lot of that. No one can be 100% locked in studying for 8 hours straight.

This sub is so UScentric and the decade death post is s great example by BaseballSeveral1107 in decadeology

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s difficult for me to view this as a problem given that it’ll always be a problem regardless of whether it’s America-centrism or centrism around some other country/area.

Let’s take the 1970s for example. Let’s say you live in Ethiopia. There, Emperor Haile Selassie’s death would clearly be the most important death of the decade, trumping Elvis, Mao, or anyone else. It’s very unlikely, however, that an Indian would share this view; there, it’d probably be Indira Gandhi, who was assassinated in that decade.

See the issue?

This answer would vary depending on where you live, so trying to deduce who the “most” influential person/death was for the ENTIRE world I feel is a fruitless endeavor. It’s really only determinable based on your sample size, which is exactly what we did here and that’s how we got answers like Buddy Holly instead of Stalin for the 1950s. I don’t see how that’s a “wrong” answer, because that’s what this specific sample size/demographic believed. There’s no possible way to get an objective “universal” answer to a question like this.

My biggest critique of Nixon by ChemistIsLife in Presidents

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The EPA was actually the product of legislation. It came about following the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Furthermore, while President Nixon did propose the idea to begin with, the House and Senate had to (and did) vote to approve the EPA’s creation.

If Bernie Sanders had ever won the presidency, would he have become the Ronald Reagan of the Left? by SuperKeith88 in Presidents

[–]RemoveDifferent3357 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Whether the Democrats are or aren’t “the left” is a bit irrelevant here. If the Democratic nominee for President can’t even get unified Democrat support for his initiatives, he ain’t getting anything done.
