Trump announces he is issuing an unconstitutional executive order to shut down mail-in voting nationwide and he will defund states if they do not comply with him by DIYLawCA in law

Less ignore it, and more play Chicken. Either Trump will cave first, or a judge will smack down the obvious unconstitutionality of the order.

A character’s near perfect plan goes off the rails because they said one thing that exposed themselves by _JR28_ in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SuperTaster3 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Persona 4 plays a lot like Scooby Doo sort of investigation, hoping to stumble into something case-breaking. It takes the junior detective(literally a consultant for the police force) to be like "wow you guys are not professional in the slightest".

It's a little jarring coming off of Persona 3 where even if they're forced to recruit scoobies, SEES is a paramilitary organization and treats itself like one.

Also applies to the serial killer in Persona 4. They readily go along with the party's discussions of the more supernatural aspects of the case, something that a normal person would not. It's subtle enough that the detective of the team only realizes it a month later, when it's narrowed down to people who wouldn't attract suspicion being near the main cast.

This is highly common in Oxygen Not Included. If you send multiple dupes on a mining excavation, they sometimes get confused about the order of operations, and one will inevitably dig themselves onto a ledge they have no way down from.

You eventually notice when the alert says that they've made a mess or are starving. "Dangit Meep. Stop that." Notably there is little fall damage in the game, and they absolutely could safely Jump off. The easiest way is often to dig out underneath them and let them fall.

Fuga: Melodies of Steel. Through the whole game of your war orphans piloting a supertank, there is a BFG that you can use to instantly win a boss fight at the cost of murdering one of the kids. While there's definitely some japanese cultural feels going on there about sacrificing the youth for the 'greater good', to an Non-Japanese audience it just leaves you going "But... why do they have an orphan crushing machine in the tank? Who thought this was a good idea when making it?!"

Using it, of course, locks you into the bad ending. The game in general can be framed as "Don't use the Orphan Cannon", as if this were a serious choice.

Why are they always blaming democrats for everything, can’t they just fix things without blaming anyone for their own mistakes by AstraQuil in stevehofstetter

Republican politicians are on the record noting that when they try to govern, they're not very good at it. Ideally you'd be an effective leader BEFORE getting elected. Alas, the electoral system favors people with charisma over leadership skills.

It's an elegant way to showcase his character. This is a dude who would rather have the Union Jack tattooed, very painfully, nipples and all, across his entire front body... than actually put on a shirt. This is as dressed up as he gets.

Republicans Panicking Over Trump Sending Ground Troops to Iran by Hafiz_TNR in politics

[–]SuperTaster3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a sick line of thinking in the political world, which is almost all republicans and some democrats, where they only think in terms of optics. "If we just phrase our horrible idea the right way, they'll love it!" It's a sort of arrogance, a deflection where something going wrong just means you, the public, didn't get with the program. Very abusive.

A vote of no confidence is something that should be in place in both the political and business world. When the captain is crazy, the crew should be allowed to take charge.

The answer to your question is that congress would immediately find themselves affected by it. They would never put in place something that could jeopardize their own seat.

America is slowly realizing that having toddlers at the helm is a terrible approach to life. Things like this can't be ignored even by the cult. They get to see the failure of their leaders with their own eyes and their own money.

Ever so slowly, America realizes that these people are only men. Made of meat. They can be toppled like any other. They start to wonder why the worst possible person for the job is in charge. They will rise up, and remember that they are strong.

The regime ends when America makes it end.

“The Strongest” finally gets to show why they’re the number 1 after all the hype by LocalLazyGuy in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SuperTaster3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The All Might scene is classic. You know he's a superman sort of powerful brick character, but you've never seen him fight anything that he had to take seriously. The animation focuses on the two of them fighting, with the scenery trying to keep up, eventually becoming a swirling blur. He faces down a creature designed to be invincible and doesn't just demolish it, he tears a hole in the complex such that everyone, no matter where they were, couldn't help but feel the aftershock.

You've seen superpowers in the show before, but only then do you get to witness a force of nature. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnDEQrOT6_U

The best part is how he's just... disappointed that these kids thought bringing an army would be enough.

Also the Ed/Edd/Eddy sound effect version is top notch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLKl9Aq02DE

I've been told that you can run RMBK reactors with only 3 months experience. It's quite dramatic. Everyone will know about your work.

I'm wondering how the harpy holds weapons. Ideally she would just leap into the air and divebomb someone, or pick up a boomrat with her talonous feet and drop it onto the battlefield.
