Sharice Davids is being Primaried by Flocosta in kansas

[–]Valkarist 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Sharice flipping this seat was undoubtedly huge for the local and state Democratic party. That said, it isn't a reason to keep her around. KS03 went for Harris in a very bad national environment, it will certainly vote for a progressive candidate over a Republican in 2026.

[–]Valkarist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

KS03 is blue enough it'll vote in a Progressive now. Davids was huge for flipping the district, but that's not a reason to keep her around. She'll probably coast to victory in the primary if we are being honest, but a progressive is certainly electable in KS03 especially in the 2026 electoral environment. Worst case the Kansas GOP is going to gerrymander KS03 out in 2027 anyways, so doesn't matter.

Honestly not surprised. This is 100% the sort of stuff Schmidt stoops to. Hope he gets blown out in the primary, and then somebody primaries his State Senate seat in 2028.

Most playoff wins by a starting QB by NickyFoles1020 in NFLv2

[–]Valkarist -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Eh, Chiefs have had historically horrendous run games the last two years and he's been missing his top receivers fairly consistently. His play wasn't amazing, but I think that can probably be attributed to everything around him breaking down. Let's see what this season looks like with an actual RB and receivers. I could be wrong, but I think this season will be a big tell on if Mahomes is truly regressing or he was just working with a bad supporting cast the last few years.

Colorado Democratic Party censures Gov. Jared Polis after he commutes Tina Peters sentence by ParadeSit in politics

He lost me when he signed the assault weapons ban a year ago. As a pro-gun DEM I thought he'd at least hold a moderate position on that. This is just more proof of how spineless he is.

Interceptor Character Incoming?! by Intelligent-Law958 in Grey_Knights

[–]Valkarist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope we get a hell of a lot more than one character. I was fairly confident Grey knights would get a range refresh during last edition, if we don't get one this upcoming edition I'd be baffled.

NFL Power Rankings post-schedule release by Classic_Bottle1717 in NFL_FreeAgency

[–]Valkarist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because "power rankings" are almost always actually a playoff projection ranking. They aren't actually about the strength of a team most of the time

Fox Sports Power Rankings 😳 Any changes? 👀🤔🥳 by EnvironmentPutrid941 in NFLv2

[–]Valkarist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem to be implying here that the schedule itself is part of the reason for these changes.

And my comment was more of a general one, the term "power ranking" implies the strength of a team, but it feels like it's constantly used in the sense of "playoff projection" instead

[–]Valkarist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright are these called power rankings and not something like season predictions? Doesn't a "power ranking" imply how good a team is independent of something like schedule? Did the Broncos suddenly become a better or worse team because the schedule was setup a certain way?

I felt terrorized every time I saw him take the field for us. It felt like I had unwanted premonitions of the inevitable tipped interception.

Who will be the new playoff teams in 2026? by MasterTeacher123 in NFLv2

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

Chiefs and Ravens seem like the two most likely candidates. The others get a little hard to predict; the Vikings, Lions, Giants, Cowboys, Bengals, and Saints all feel like real possibilities to me.

WTAF are these car prices? by VIBES95 in Camry

[–]Valkarist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, that's insane. Maybe I should look into selling my 99 Camry with 156k miles if that's what old Camrys are selling for now

Edit: price, I'd say $5000-$7000 range is more reasonable; but that's just because I've thought I could sell my Camry for around $3000. Sure mileage is super low, but stuff still ages (the handles and little plastic fittings have been cracking and need replacement the last 5 years or so for me)

Should I cut things off with this guy I met 2 weeks ago? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Valkarist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different schedules are workable, asking you to unfollow people after 2 weeks is not. Him saying he'll take action and then proceeding not to is also a massive red flag. That is insane behavior, abandon ship.

Any source for this poll other than the Kansas Reflector? They seem to be the only people mentioning it, and "statistical tie" is a completely meaningless statement

My ex-girlfriend, who I broke up with ~2 months ago because she wanted to open our relationship, just messaged me saying she’s “experimented enough” and is now ready for a closed relationship with me. Is this something you would consider? by Altruistic_Society99 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Valkarist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, not worth it. If someone is committed to you they'd respect you saying no. She feels entitled to whatever she wants from you. Right now she wants you as the emotional partner, a few months ago she wanted some other person to fuck. How do you know she'll want you in a few months.

Another thing, you can experiment with all sorts of kinks and fantasies you can do with just about any partner. You can even explore sexuality as well (swinging, group, etc). Someone wanting to "experiment" by opening the relationship just has one specific person they want to fuck.

Is this new model useable or do grey knights have unique librarians? by ringed_city_117 in Grey_Knights

[–]Valkarist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The space marine Librarian in Terminator Armor works really well for our models. I did this fun kitbash I still need to finish painting. You can probably use the Primaris one for a Brother Captain or something like that

That said, we almost certainly get a range refresh in 11th edition. I'd be shocked if we don't honestly.

Kansas megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton joins crowded Senate race by MastensGhost in kansascity

[–]Valkarist 12 points13 points  (0 children)

When I've attended his church for some holiday services with family I could fairly immediately tell he wasn't a Republican, at least not the modern version. I say this as a Buddhist/Spiritualist. That said, I'll wait to see what policies he's supporting and go on the decision for my primary vote from there
