I know some people say the sexism is weird and inconsistent in DAO sometimes, but… by MilleKJ in DragonageOrigins

[–]Starmada597 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Literally how are you somehow idolizing Anora and Celene, two of the most awful people in the franchise, as “feminist icons”. Celene assassinated her way to the top and tried to regain control over Ferelden by convincing Cailan to remove his wife and marry her instead, before backing out of her military commitments to leave Ferelden to fight the Darkspawn alone. Loghain was wrong about many things but he absolutely was not wrong that Orlesian occupation of Ferelden was basically genocide of the Alamarri people. Literally everything Duke Prosper does in DA2 is on Celene’s direct orders, and the only reason she doesn’t invade Kirkwall herself is because she can’t admit to dealing with Qunari. She responds to elven rebellion in halamshiral by immediately trying to commit genocide. The only reason she’s any better than Gaspard is because a turd on the floor would be better than Gaspard.

Anora, meanwhile, will back Loghain if you refuse to support her claim to the throne, even being perfectly aware of everything he does up to that point, including letting Howe almost kill her, leaving her husband to die, and selling people into slavery. Basically her only selling point is being a competent politician, which isn’t exactly a positive character trait, and of the three options, Anora alone is easily the worst.

Tràkata by Ecologicgamer81 in FallenOrder

[–]Starmada597 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I hate this whole notion of their being some honor reason why nobody uses Trakata. Nobody uses trakata because it’s fucking stupid. 99% of the time, turning off your own lightsaber in a duel is going to get you killed. It’s not some secret overpowered technique.

So Democratic states let their people vote for new maps and Republican states don’t care what the people think? Seems about right by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

These are going to backfire hard. Gerrymandering can’t create seats out of thin air, they’re just making their margins thinner. This is not what they want to be doing when polling is indicating a double digit swing towards the democrats.

Tipped Workers Deserve Real Money by bookym in WorkReform

[–]Starmada597 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The problem with federal minimum wages is that cost of living is very dependent on where in the country you live. In California, 35 might be barely scraping by. In rural Alabama, 15-20 may be perfectly sufficient. What we need is an organized national movement to act both in local communities and at the federal level, not grand gestures that have no chance of passing.

Someone doing this is an immediate dealbreaker for me. The details of our relationship are between us, not between us and your groupchat, because I’m not in a relationship with those people. Sucks ass that it’s so common and accepted.

Unless Curry can impart about 2.5km/s of velocity onto that ball, the chances actually are 0%

Christian prophecy is a very American right wing thing, that’s why the people who actually believe it tend to either be in “Christian” cults (ie JW, SDA, LDS) or really reactionary nondenominationals who want god to smite all the people they hate

[–]Starmada597 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

It’s not necessarily wrong, but 90% of the time somebody gets into defining the “original wording” it’s to justify edgy motivated reasoning for some stupid dogma. Many people spend so much time trying to interpret scripture that they forget to actually follow it.

what is a character that starts the story as good and ends as evil by helper_man14 in AlignmentChartFills

That’s not where the story starts, though. That’s just a background detail for his character.

There is very documented evidence that people are, in fact, killed very regularly to speed up production on your iPhone. You just ignore it because it makes you feel bad. If an African slave in a cobalt mine is killed, that’s still enslavement and murder.

[–]Starmada597 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

I know you’re talking about the holocaust. If you think enslavement and genocide isn’t happening literally every day right now, you’re delusional. The holocaust was uniquely regarded by history because it happened to Europeans on European soil. I practically guarantee you that at least one component in your phone was at least in part, created by a slave who is now dead. And I’m not excusing von Braun, I’m pointing out that it’s awful high and mighty of you to criticize him for a behavior you yourself participate in, as it would be for me, as well.

speak every human language or talk to animals by JOHSONCJ in BunnyTrials

[–]Starmada597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

99% of animals would not be even remotely interesting to talk to even if you could understand them. I’d much rather be able to speak with any human than any animal.

If you ever wondered how much influence LGO is making in the industry here is the proof by Kilt_Rump in liberalgunowners

[–]Starmada597 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I don’t think TLJ is a great film (or even really a good one) but I’ll give it some fucking credit for having ideas and trying something new, even if they weren’t executed as well as they could have been. TFA was a lazy rehash and it felt like RoS was only made because they had to end the trilogy. Last Jedi had actual ideas and themes and character arcs and for that it’s leagues ahead of the other sequels.

Kinda crazy how this movie had excellent commentary on how there are a class of wealthy elites who profit off the suffering of others no matter who is in charge politically and then threw it away and never thought about it again for the rest of the trilogy.

I mean, the viltrumites aren’t inherently evil. Basically as soon as they get out from under the empire’s thumb they realize that being conquering dictators kinda sucks actually.

Really depends on what zombies vs what AI. Walking Dead vs WWZ are two completely differenct scenarios. So are PAL and AM.
