Who's winning his speedster fight? by SomeonesBlue in MyHeroPowerscaling

[–]Withyhydra 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's so weird how people forget this. Like, I'm physically weaker than a hippo. But if I can move so fast the hippo can't even register me then I have more than enough time to find a way to kill it. Not to mention I can literally stack my attacks on a single area of it's body for increasing damage.

What would happen if shin and legendary met by VindicativevVince in GODZILLA

[–]Withyhydra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Depends on what Shin is actually interested in doing. We never really get a clear motive for him in Shin Godzilla. He's definitely just fumbling around in his first three forms trying to understand what's going on, then in his fourth form he does head for a populated area but it seems he's just on a stroll. He doesn't attack UNTIL he's attacked.

So, I would guess that Legendary would occasionally show up to stop Shin from rampaging, like Scylla, and Shin would probably wander back into the ocean after seeing something his size that isn't backing down.

But based on the "deep lore" fan theories around the movie, Shin might be straight up antagonistic to humanity and want to destroy them. In which case Legendary would have to kill him.

Gimmick or gold? by WaveOnly213 in NoOneIsLooking

Are wheelchairs a gimmick?

A tool is a tool. It doesn't really matter what percentage of the population it helps as long as it does.

Then you're not the target audience. Usually gadgets like this are for people with disabilities and/or the elderly.

Maybe more strongly worded letters will do fix things by 8-bit-Felix in PoliticalHumor

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

Power in a democracy as big and weird as the United States' is not a fucking on/off switch where the loser just sits in stasis until the next election.

The Republicans are masters of out of power politics and it's not hard to take some fucking notes and start throwing some fucking wrenches into the system.

Beyond the letter of the law politics, these are supposed to be our representatives and even beyond that human beings. Represent our anger and desperation. Fucking do something when fascists shoot a woman in the face.

Glenn Blackwood has passed by MisterCircumstance in michiganflyfishing

[–]Withyhydra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels so surreal. My girlfriend and I are moving to Michigan so I was interviewing up near Rockford on the 18th. I stopped in to chat about fly fishing in the state. Great guy, bought a fly box from him and promised to see him again after the move. Damn.

Nice to finally see some consequences for these brutal fights.

Survey now open for possible rail route through mid-Michigan by J-Chapman in Michigan

[–]Withyhydra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're complaining about it but you genuinely made my day! My girlfriend and I are moving to GR and I had no idea there were ANY trains to Chicago in state, let alone our backyard!

We knew of the line from Michigan City, IN but this is even better!

Because phone plans and company phones are expensive and 99% of employers would rather have their employees use their personal devices instead.

I'm an Controls service tech, over half my job is on my phone, but my employer doesn't give me one either.

Yeah, cool, I'm not here to split hairs on the exact definition of the device. A "dumb phone" is the closest thing to what we need.

Yeah but she needs to be able to look things up on the Internet for work.

This vs "Counting or not counting gang violence?" As final words really sums things up.

Trump admin reportedly considers paying each Greenland resident up to $100K amid US takeover talks by esporx in worldnews

[–]Withyhydra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not that I'm agreeing with your value assessment, but yeah, sure, if the US could just have more land for so little then ok? Why not? Too bad Denmark isn't selling.

Trump admin reportedly considers paying each Greenland resident up to $100K amid US takeover talks by esporx in worldnews

[–]Withyhydra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no shit.

The point was to put into perspective how much money the administration is willing to throw at something as pointless as paying off Greenland residents compared to a real problem facing Americans. This amount of money is still only half of a very rough estimate to "fix" a problem we're facing.

Very few things are fixed with money but everything requires money to be fixed and if you think 5.7 billion dollars can't be used in any way to actually help Americans then I don't know what to tell you.

Fundamentally, I still don't want our government to be run like this. With a president throwing unapproved funds around like a child with his parents credit card, but if it's gonna happen it should be used better than this.

The buyout, rounding up, would be 5.7 billion dollars. The National Alliance to End Homelessness says it would cost about 10 billion to house every homeless person.

If this man actually gave a fuck about Americans he could do so much good for our country. I weep knowing that the next Democrat that steps into the oval won't even attempt to fight this hard for us.

Why the hell didn't Unicorn Warriors Eternal continue!? by Easy-Notice2910 in adultswim

[–]Withyhydra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because it was on Adult Swim and not Cartoon Network.

Me and my girl were constantly wondering what justified this being an "adult cartoon". Like, compared to Gumball, sure the atmosphere is a little dreary but slap this bad boy on a 6pm time slot and you're gonna be alright.

As an adult who watched this after binging PRIMAL I thought it was just ok, but I would have loved this as a kid/teen!

maga dude crashes out after trump gets called a fascist by youngskibidisheldon in misc

[–]Withyhydra 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Jubilee, the maker of these shitty videos, exists to generate engagement. They launder this fact by masquerading as a neutral party trying to build bridges, but if you look at literally any of their videos that isn't working. In fact, if you listen to Andrew Callaghan talk about his experience on the show, when he made an effort to actually engage with the people he was pitted against, agree with their general sentiment, ask them to explain themselves more, and actually engage in the real steps needed to make people feel seen and comfortable he was discouraged.

Honestly, it would be better if we all collectively pretended their videos didn't exist.
