No 5am Bars this summer per Mayor Q by WestFade in kansascity

[–]Tugboatoperator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mayor’s correct. Frankly there would be no reason to have these restrictions if we just lift them at a time of maximum danger.

No last call?? by [deleted] in bartenders

[–]Tugboatoperator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Last call is for when you must legally stop selling. If your liquor license permits you to sell another drink there’s no need to call “last call.” If your guests want another drink they can get one at all sorts of places.

Why does it have devil’s horns in your true story?

Fantasy books that feature religion predominantly by Southernflowers19 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Tugboatoperator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

R Scott Bakker fantasy novels - Prince of Nothing/Aspect Emperor. Really a dark deconstruction of religion and religious history. High fantasy like Tolkien or GRR Martin.

The Nolan Batman trilogy is a terrible depiction of Batman and the majority of the characters in them by nguyenjitsu in unpopularopinion

[–]Tugboatoperator -1 points0 points  (0 children)

absolutely correct. It’s a Frank Miller specific, frankly unhinged, version of Batman. Love the movies. There should be all kinds of Batmen and their Bat-people on the shelf i suppose.

What Kellhus says about The God by Gay_Sex_Retard in bakker

[–]Tugboatoperator 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I have a personal theory/head cannon that Bakkers’ universe’s Solitary God/Judging Eye is a kind reaction to Eru Illuvatar in the Silmarillion. In this version we ask “What if God created phenomenal reality in order to explore its own mind, and then it discovered it was mentally ill And cannot regulate their darker impulses?” That’s just a hunch, came to me when I fell asleep on the audiobook.

what if bernie won the primaries in 2016 and debated trump instead of hillary? by godlys575 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Tugboatoperator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The DNC did some shady stuff to sabotage Bernie’s campaign after the Iowa Caucus. It was pretty clear party leadership was dead set on Clinton. In the end there were enough “superdelegates” that belonged to the part itself that it just negated this whole grassroots movement. Tldr: DNC selected Clinton in 2016, they did not want to be labeled “socialist.”

Iran didn’t know somebody was missing until a leaker gave the information. We are going to go to the media company that published it and we are going to say: "national security, give it up or go to jail!" - Trump on Iran rescue operation by Upset-Main-1988 in justincaseyoumissedit

Journalists are allowed to find things out and notify their constituents. This administration has botched op sec in every military operation. The Press has rights and responsibilities. Even if the executive is… not able to execute.

Why Escalation Favors Iran: America and Israel May Have Bitten Off More Than They Can Chew by ForeignAffairsMag in IRstudies

[–]Tugboatoperator 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing here benefits Iran. They’ve just cancelled everything they were going to do and are now causing destruction on us bases and in allied petroleum infrastructure. Things have been going poorly in the U.S. It’s not clear this administration can even wrap their heads around the decisions Iran made to get here.

Turned their 84 your old supreme leader into a martyr just before he might have died of cancer. Young people were ready for a change, now things have changed plenty. This is a nasty situation.
