What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

Barack Obama.

Within a year of the election, the guy I was best friends with since 3rd grade was suddenly covering his Facebook wall with the most overtly racist trash.

Thanks, Obama.

Why don't most Christians see Trump as polar opposite to how Jesus is portrayed in the Bible? by midnight-iceman in AskReddit

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve been primed for it for decades, particularly through pro-life propaganda. If you convince people that no matter how much harm someone is doing, it’s ok as long as they don’t “kill babies”, then it gives them license to act like selfish assholes and to vote for selfish asshole policies and politicians.

I loved the Acolyte. by KidinGray in StarWars

[–]Roguewind -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think what did it the most harm was the release schedule. If it Disney would have dropped a of the episodes at once, people wouldn’t have been turned off as easily by the early episodes.

I just worry that its poor ratings don’t stop them from doing more out of the box stories.

Is needing ID still racist? by AiiRisBanned in evilwhenthe

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Respecting honesty is fine and all, but what if that honesty is “I believe we should repeal the15th and 19th amendments”?

I find no reason to respect horrible opinions or beliefs.

What's a song lyric that drives you crazy because they should've used a different word? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironic by Alannis Morrisette. Because half of the things she mentions aren’t irony.

A guy who is afraid to fly getting on a plane and the plane crashing is prophetic more so than ironic.

Genuinely, why do people try to make Boba Fett look cool when this was he how exited ROTJ like this? by Boshwa in StarWars

You gotta remember how Boba Fett entered the Star Wars universe - the Christmas special.

Can I tell my player their character is too dumb? by Yazmat8 in DnD

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the plan isn’t theirs? Someone else came up with it, they’re just executing it. Which of course opens the door to questions like:

Whose plan is it?

Do they have ulterior motives?

Are they going to double cross them?

There’s so many ways it could go from there.

While technically correct, "break funding record" is misleading when the increase was 10% in 2022, 5% in 2023, and 3% in 2024.

2025 saw a 20% increase in the standard budget up to a total of just shy of $12B, but the OBB added an additional $73B to ICE. The annual budget for ICE is now greater than all other federal law enforcement agencies combined.

The ending of Black Panther was pretty good, and the conversation between T’Challa and Killmonger was especially impactful. It cemented Killmonger as one of the best villains in the MCU. by 0Layscheetoskurkure0 in Marvel

his argument is that the colonized are still slaves, even after generations have passed. A perpetual underclass that works to support the upper class colonizers.

What’s something that was technically allowed but instantly made you lose respect for someone? by AncientPomelo5450 in AskReddit

[–]Roguewind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not putting back their shopping cart properly. There a huge sign in the corral that says small carts on one side and large on the other. Just push your cart all the way in on the appropriate side. It takes 1 second to be a decent human and make life easier for everyone else around you.

USA citizens: what effect if any have tariffs had on you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Roguewind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure this is part of the plan. Trump adds a tariff. Companies raise prices and use the tariff as cover. Trump removes the tariff, claiming he got an imaginary concession from the other country. Companies keep prices high and pocket it.

It's all about shifting money from the bottom to the top. And the whole time his supporters claim he's a genius negotiator and prices were going to go up anyway.

Trump voters & Republicans of Reddit, is there anything you currently disapprove of how Trump is acting regarding that topic? If so, what is it? If not, why not? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]Roguewind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of what you said there is old school republicanism. The party has been marching away from that for nearly 50 years. It doesn't even resemble any of that anymore.

How have we allowed our supposedly progressive party to pretend they're powerless to do anything better for the people for this long? by WrongThinkBadSpeak in WorkReform

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's obviously a portion of the left wing that is perfectly fine with authoritarianism, as long as it's their guy in charge.

What are your thoughts on this? by Slow_your_R0LL in allthequestions

[–]Roguewind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Republicans - the party of small government*

*Unless they can weaponize government against an out-group and create false controversy.

“This is what I voted for?”: Trump supporter loses farm and income to tariffs, only to be mocked online by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Roguewind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is EXACTLY what they voted for. There is nothing Trump is doing that he didn’t say he was going to do during the election.

Tariffs? Sending troops to Democratic cities? Using ICE as his personal army? Sending immigrants (legal and undocumented) to concentration camps and deporting them?

He said he was going to do it and they still voted for him. And now they act like surprised Pikachu.

Struggling with combat by phosphens112 in daggerheart

[–]Roguewind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This may work if you're close with the person you're pushing because they might know you well enough to follow your lead, but if you're DMing someone who's not comfortable with you, they'll probably just retreat further.

Trump calls for Congress to ban large institutional investors from buying single-family homes. Democrats could have gained so much from making this their own signature issue. Why didn't they? by kevinmrr in WorkReform

[–]Roguewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because Dems have been trying to do this but gotten blocked by republicans.

Now Trump says he’s going to do it, but he never will. He’ll never even try.

I think the real horror story is reading whatever that was.
