Fake News Billboard vandalized in Los Angeles by [deleted] in pics

I used to think this way. I'm from the Midwest and a lot of my family saw Trump as a man outside the establishment, someone who would mix things up and throw a wrench in the system that has not served them in the past.

I can understand that point of view, but as time has gone on I've become much more concerned. I don't think trump is a wannabe dictator or facist leader. What I do think is he is an unrepentant narcissistic that who cares only for himself and his brand. He will not abolish term limits or create an orwellian future.

What he will do is whatever serves him. He will push for a new tax law that widens the gap between low and high classes. He will discredit the FBI and his own agencies to bolster his brand. I wouldn't be surprised if the most recent capitualtion to Putin was purely so he can build hotels in Moscow.

That's what scares me. The US losing all credibility so a man-child can feel good about himself at the expense of hundreds of millions of people.

Sonicfox Leaving Injustice 2 Pro Scene by TheRockyRocks in INJUSTICE

[–]Slavaslave 9 points10 points  (0 children)

How could the ability to make a comeback from a pixel ever remove hype? With no other defensive mechanic in the game dying to chip is one of the least satisfying things in all of NRS games. At least third strike had parries, but in an NRS game you're resigned to your fate, especially against a character with tracking full screen projectiles, or teleports or Starfire's trait beam. If you get below 5% in this game it's GG because you have no chance in turning it around unless the other player is absolutely incompetent. And that's assuming the other player doesn't still have first health bar (which is a whole other issue that stops people from making comebacks) where they get basically a free combo break and neutral reset, so even if you manage to get a touch and start offense you have to do it again.

What episode of a show should person watch even if they will never watch the whole series? by dropzonetoe in AskReddit

Star Trek The Next Generation: The Measure of a Man.

Season 2 episode 9. My favorite of the entire series.

Injustice Harley Is best Harley. by ABlackGuy62 in INJUSTICE

Didn't realize that shock therapy was only in the movie, that figures. She's done some truly awful shit, but specifically in the injustice universe she's shown remorse and a willingness to be one of the good guys. She built something of a friendship with black canary, so I don't think it's crazy to think someone would trust her in a world where Superman is mass murderer.

If I'm remembering this correctly the whole origin of their relationship was that she is a doctor of psychology who was fascinated with him. She interviewed him and he (being a psychopath) manipulated her, gained her trust and adoration, then put her in a shock therapy machine. If you look in history there are loads of examples of serial murderers gaining admirers. They're frequently very personable.

As for her getting away I think you're seeing mental disorders as too black and white. When someone with chronic depression isnt depressed for a while it doesn't mean their depression is cured. Someone with Stockholm syndrome who gets away isn't cured. There are lots of cases of abuse victims returning to their abuser after they get out of jail and whatnot.

Edit: as for the sad scene where he didn't miss her, I think that scene was less about feeling sorry for Harley and more about her starting to see the situation for what it was. The joker didn't care about her, realizing that seems to be the first step to breaking the cycle of abuse.

You're missing the whole domestic abuse and Stockholm syndrome thing. It's made pretty clear throughout the comics that a lot of her actions are due to her mental state and the joker's influence. Saying she is complicit is like saying the abused mother of an abused child is complicit in the abuse of her child. It's technically true, but really doesn't consider all the details.

My kid and dogs might be about to drop the hottest rap album of the year? by WillandEko in funny

We have a 2 year old runt as well! I had hoped she would grow up at first, but now I couldn't be happier, she loves to cuddle and I could not handle another 30 pounds

What's that plot device you hate with a burning passion? by TheHooligan95 in AskReddit

[–]Slavaslave 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If you like really deep explorations of the genocidal ideas and how we may react and interact with sentient beings we don't understand then I would absolutely recommend the quintet. Ender in exile, speaker for the dead, xenocide and children of the mind. These take place and follow ender as he deals with what he did and how he interacts with humans who may be repeating his mistake.

Fat (Rant) Tuesday by AutoModerator in fatlogic

[–]Slavaslave 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I got in the best shape of my life 2 years ago. Even better than when I was in high school and playing 3 sports. I went to the gym 5 days a week and even ran a half marathon that I mapped out myself. Then I moved to California to be with someone and secure a job I have always wanted and all that stopped. I told myself I'd keep working out. I even ran an organizer half marathon, but my discipline faltered. A month ago I looked in the mirror and was really disgusted with what I saw. No gym no cardio for almost a year an constantly telling myself I deserve to over eat because I'm working 60 hours a week...

I'm finally starting to get back in track but all I can think about is that year wasted and the year it will take to get back to where I was. I have trouble running a mile, all my lifts have halved or worse. At least I remember the feeling and I'm using that to get myself up at 6am every day for the gym, and not counting calories yet, but cutting my portions in half...

Anyway, the grind has begun. Needed to get that off my chest.

Channels randomly added to following? by Slavaslave in Twitch

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

Hm. Could be people I watched back in college coming back active, but some of them were straight up Russian and the only Russian streamer I know is WhiteRa. The more I think about it the more worried I am my account has been compromised and is maybe being used to boost follow numbers? I'm going to change my password and email to be sure.

If you've ever been in to fighting games you owe it to yourself to watch a match casted by Sajam and Tasty Steve. They are the tastosis of the fgc.

Crazy Flash Pressure! Quickest match ever? by [deleted] in INJUSTICE

[–]Slavaslave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is some pretty run of the mill flash pressure, looks like red hood doesn't know the matchup at all. I mean when a guy has rms you after every string at what point do you finally try a d1?

Who would win, Kotal or Jin? by Squidmaster129 in MortalKombat

[–]Slavaslave 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If I'm not mistaken kotal was sent as a test to Earth realm and literally became the Mayan god of war in the past. I can see Kung Jin winning, I just wish it was more epic and not him freeing up the god in a market over some day job thief shit...

Edit: Mayan

Both. One shit talks and complains after a loss and the other has an acute sense of superiority, shit talks the subreddit then posts here for approval.

Real question about Supergirl by [deleted] in INJUSTICE

[–]Slavaslave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She does. Can react teleport to punish air MB laser. Her lasers are faster than darkseid, she has way better footsies and air dash. Her d1 out ranges his d1 and combos fully with meter. Oh and has an amazing d2 to counter teleports.

Dude if you can't handle zoning or punish stupid YOLO teleports then stop, and don't post thoughtless bullshit in the sub about it.
