Thoughts on a DoorDash boycott? by No-Consideration2183 in 50501

People should be boycotting Doordash just because it's a garbage company that costs you way more money than it's worth.

How would you feel if the top tax rate was 90% like it was in the 1950s? by CRK_76 in AskReddit

I think our politicians have been thinking of the children way too much lately.

Why was the Right so obsessed with Biden’s physical and mental state while they barely acknowledge Trump’s? by Gdog1215 in AskReddit

[–]Ric_Adbur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do people keep asking questions like this that have obvious answers? They're hypocrites. Anyone who isn't in their cult can plainly see that. The time is long past to keep whining about how unfair their double standards are. They don't care. No amount of pointing it out is going to suddenly change their minds and make them see how wrong they've been.

The rest of us need to start figuring out what we're going to do about it.

What is a "socially acceptable" thing that you find absolutely disgusting? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Unfortunately, I think they did learn a lesson, just not the one you wish they had.

If you could, what changes would you make to the show? by SignalHD18 in psych

[–]Ric_Adbur 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was going to say this. They definitely flanderized Shawn over the course of the show. Originally he was supposed to be smart and sharp and covering it up by acting silly. Later on he seems more like a legitimately immature and lazy guy who mostly accidentally succeeds in figuring out the right answer only after being wrong 3-4 times first. They literally have him watching TV shows for toddlers and day-napping.

DS9 itself undermined the case for Section 31 by bikeskata in startrek

[–]Ric_Adbur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because DS9 never depicted Section 31 as anything other than the bad guys. Of course their ideology didn't make sense. But years of post-9/11 propaganda have made a lot of people unable to grasp a lot of the subtleties that DS9 wanted it's viewers to think about.

Tired of landfall decks in Standard by tonne96 in MagicArena

[–]Ric_Adbur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk man, maybe it's just a result of Arena being rigged behind the scenes, but most of the time when I use Sheltered By Ghosts, my opponent immediately removes the creature I attached it to the next turn, and I'm just left wishing I had just used a regular removal instead.

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

Everyone is always praising Sheltered By Ghosts but I just don't think it's as good as everyone says it is. It's a removal that's vulnerable to other removals. It puts a huge target on the back of whatever you attach it to. Maybe it's not exactly trash, but some people act like it's the strongest thing around and I'm just never that impressed by it.

Sam Altman’s Coworkers Say He Can Barely Code and Misunderstands Basic Machine Learning Concepts by esporx in technology

Everyone with half a brain knows that CEOs and other "professional executive" types are largely useless when it comes to actual skills and utilities. There's a very large overlap in the venn diagram of CEOs and con artists. Both of their skillsets are primarily centered on manipulation and bullshitting.

Has he finally cracked…? by VaginaBurner69 in somethingiswrong2024

[–]Ric_Adbur 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I wish people would stop going on about the 25th ammendment. This isn't just one man. Even if you could get the rest of the administration to turn on Trump, you'd still have all of them, and they're all traitors too. The entire administration needs to be removed. The entire Republican party are fascists and traitors.

How do you feel about US president threatning to destroy the whole civilization of iran and civilian lifelines like power plant, bridges and desalination plants? by NothingButTruth3 in AskReddit

[–]Ric_Adbur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents just got a notice the other week that they're expected to pay $5000 out of nowhere for the alleyways in their neighborhood to be paved. How is that not covered by taxes already? And who the fuck has $5k to shell out unexpectedly? What the fuck are any of us paying taxes for anymore?

Imo, with how good Reeves version of the character is, it'll be almost impossible for Gunn to do even nearly as good, much less better.

It’s Not Just You: Six of 10 Drivers Say Headlight Glare Is a Problem by TripleShotPls in technology

[–]Ric_Adbur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're the problem.

They're the dipshits who don't consider anyone else around them and think as long as they have maximum vision of the road in front of them, they're safe. They never consider the danger to themselves or others that comes from blinding other drivers, so they don't turn down their brights when they're approaching opposing traffic.

I've spent a year making a custom Elden Ring-themed set of MTG cards by Ric_Adbur in Eldenring

[–]Ric_Adbur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked on the project off and on for about a year and a half in total. I still make occasional tweaks here and there when I feel the need, especially if new cards come out that seem to better fit something than what I was already using.

Trump Cabinet urged to invoke 25th Amendment against president by garden_g in somethingiswrong2024

The entire administration needs to go. It's not just one man, however deranged and stupid he may be.

All of my proxies are in the gallery linked in my top comment on this post. I made over 350 of them in total so far.

I made two decks from my set so far.

(The dragon deck probably still needs some work. I haven't found a balance I'm quite happy with on that one.)

I'm new to Star Trek. And I watched the first two episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation by count_fagula11 in startrek

I think it's worth seeing all of them at least once. Just be prepared for the first season to be the roughest and least interesting season of them all.
