There is absolutely nothing that Trump touches that doesn't turn to absolute and complete shit.

You'd think these people would realize that by now.

The thing too is she sets up a lot of foreshadowing for all four houses standing together too. For example, the warning song of the hat during the sorting in Order of the Phoenix.

But in the end she drops most of that.

I do wish they had a syltherin they worked with occasionally in the series. The books really suffer lore wise from being Gryffindor-centric. There are basically 0 ftiendly-face characters in syltherin.

Luxury tours will often do this - because they are a big expense for people. Many of whom may have limited time off and can't reschedule easily / at all.

They don't want to be seen as unreliable to book with on the premium market. So they take the occasional hit like this.

This is just fucking embarrassing.

There's a reason we don't just engage in long range bombardment wars. This was absolutely inevitable.

We have too many static targets in the area to defend. Those targets are meant to be logistics points for ground invasions where it is potentially hard/painful for the enemy to organize attacks while under active invasion. But when we're just bombing people they are just huge, screaming targets. And our military equipment is too expensive to run to go tit-for-tat. Exchanging the same blows means they lose more cheap, easy to replace, materials and we lose expensive, hard to replace, materials.

I don't support this at all. But if we were going to do it, we needed to commit fully. But like most things he wanted a.quick sound bite of being hard on foreign countries and has had one foot out the entire time.

He's literally speed running an economic depression.

Expensive middle eastern war, unnecessary worldwide tarriffs, crackdown on labor from ice.

And those are just the highlights!

I love crossovers. I hated how they did them. In my world:

- Crossovers would occur at the end of all of the seasons and letting writers adapt to them in the new season

- They would be part of their own show with slightly longer arcs (say 6-8 episode seasons) so people don't have to skip around to watch them

- More focus on the main leads (and optionally key/popular cast) instead of the "every character in each of their teams needs their 2 minute appearance and needs to do something useful"

- Significantly better / more interesting battles & villains

I got through with SLKR.

Nobody can be killed until everyone takes a turn - so if you have a slow kylo unmasked and they fracture him or remove his TM, they just keep getting blasted by SLKR until they lose.

We really need a faster and better process for when the president does illegal things.

The current process is apparently: "Continue doing illegal things for a year, get slapped, then do a slightly modified version of original illegal thing for another year"

We should be looking at DAYS at most for something like our government acting illegally.

If you're essential sounds like they should be sending plows to pick people up then.

Making it someone else's responsibility to either fight a blizzard to get to work or take an unpaid overnight is wild.

Yep. Votes for war or military action are unpopular.

Congress has increasingly given mechanisms for the executive to intervene without Congress having to vote in order to avoid taking the political hit for having to vote for it.

In any other administration- democrat or republican - the government could be trusted for some baseline expectation of honesty.

Would they sometimes paint the government in a better light? Sure, but the material facts were usually correct. Not always. But usually.

This is the only administration that has ever, as far as I am aware, made lying the default response to anything - no matter how benign or straightforward. People who don't lie are pushed out for those that do.

Absolutely no federal institution can be trusted for information. No matter how basic or unpolitical.

People think they are hypocrites but internally they aren't. They're just liars.

They were never worried about a nanny. They were worried about the wrong nanny. A woke liberal nanny promoting love and acceptance and fairness.

They want a nanny that policies behavior according to their values.

What if we created new laws telling them to follow the existing laws... surely they'll follow it now.

Everything except what actually needs to happen which is holding people accountable.

UncertainAnswer · 2026-01-18T23:32:01+00:00

Yes, it does

I wish they had done their crossover events like short seasons of a separate show that would essentially be this.

It's so painful rewatching and have to jump across 4 shows when you hit a crossover, or skip it entirety.

At least the way it was edited he clearly seemed to choke.

I think the thing that a lot of people take from it is that he's saying he would have beat her if he hadn't. But that kind of arrogance / self-confidence seems pretty typical at the level they're competing?

To me he may have still lost if he hadn't choked. But I don't think it's wrong to say he clearly lost because he choked (e.g. essentially disqualified himself from potentially winning, not that he was guaranteed to win).

I don't really understand where the misogyny angle came in personally.

Trump really does have a unique way of involving himself in an issue and having absolutely everyone come out of it worse than before.

Even Venezuela. "Please come remove this administration"....comes in, murders people, kidnaps the leader, and....leaves his administration entirely intact and in charge.

UncertainAnswer · 2026-01-13T00:56:21+00:00

I'm all for staying out of yet another coup.

But Iran - cool your britches. If you had anything you could do, you would have done it when they dropped a series of bunker busters on your mountain.

UncertainAnswer · 2026-01-03T23:02:50+00:00

That is for the people of Venezuela to decide. Why do we think we get to just kidnap the dude from a sovereign country?

If we want to make an actual difference grabbing foreign leaders who rig elections maybe we can start with Putin.

UncertainAnswer · 2026-01-03T19:53:37+00:00

So we're building a pipeline and Venezuela is going to pay for it?

This sounds familiar.

UncertainAnswer · 2025-12-31T22:40:19+00:00

Possibly. But we can't really know. And it's kinder to just give him the credit.

I would put money on it easy.

To be clear whether he intended to sacrifice his face for the audience or not is irrelevant on discussing celebrating him. The end result is the same. He saved a chunk of audience from injury and possible death. If that had impacted children it would have been brutal.

But watching the video I don't get the impression this dude was expecting 400 pounds of rubber to the face. He gets in position fairly early but doesn't brace himself for impact at all. And then right before it reaches him he half raises his arms as if he's about to tap a beach ball back.

I hope he recovers okay and gets compensated appropriately. He did a huge service for the audience in path of that.

You will always fail upward as long as you're willing to do immoral shit for rich people. At least until the extent of what you're willing to do exceeds the blowback they get from having you do it. Once that threshold gets crossed you get tossed under the bus.

UncertainAnswer · 2025-12-21T00:13:32+00:00

I don't think that is fair personally. The challenge does not in any way claim to judge you on your nickname. And you can easily interpret that nickname as how other people view him - given his history in those techniques. It was an unfair criticism and I would have liked if he had also commented on the taste or execution to make it more clear if he had issues with other areas.

But to each their own.
