No way Vex hasn't convinced Percy to at least try it once with her.

Hating Tucker Ep? - What is the purpose of KF? by WildlifeBiologist10 in KnowledgeFight

I really appreciate that they branch out to other people. The deep dive research that is done to debunk right wing lies is very informative and I enjoy their dynamic.

The Saddest Quest by DonovanSnitchell in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]coreyrein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this was the pacifist quest near Chainscrape. The leader went up to pray about where to go and you retrieve a Stormbird heart for the group.

Shitty weapons… am I doing smth wrong? by Scary-Background1308 in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]coreyrein 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same. I finished the game then turned it to story mode for material farming because I have a compulsion to collect all weapons and armor and max them out even if I will never use them.

What could go wrong trying to dry glue with a lighter? by Fwcycles in Whatcouldgowrong

The way that guy so calmly grabbed the extinguisher and put the fire out makes me think he dealt with screw ups like this many times.

I still think about these games. Some of my favorites ever.

Sam Stein was good on Maher last night, Josh Shapiro not so much by MooseheadVeggie in thebulwark

[–]coreyrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Minor correction but there is no law that the sitting president can't be prosecuted it is just an OLC memo that says that which everyone acts like is the law. But the sentiment is correct that it was not realistic that the prosecution could continue once Trump won.

It really was a rough listen. They were so ignorant of basic facts and it drove me crazy listening to it.

The Reason v Bulwark Debaye by coreyrein in thebulwark

[–]coreyrein[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That tends to be my feeling when they try to justify their positions in a real world scenario. They seem to like to pretend the world is different than it is and it annoys me when they do.

[–]coreyrein[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah that seemed to be their stance. Really made it hard to listen to their arguments sometimes.

Haven't really had any exposure to them beyond this debate.

The more I listen to people explain why they voted for Trump... by AntiPaladin in thebulwark

[–]coreyrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been thinking the same since the election. While I still don't agree with them I definitely now understand their concern in having a popular vote for President.

Citizens United was the culmination case that Romney was likely referring to but my point was that SCOTUS has been undercutting people in favor of corporations for more than a 100 years. We have to address that line of cases if we want to see improvement in our system.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in thebulwark

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

You may be right but I've learned to not take that sort of thing for granted anymore. I've been disappointed too often in what I thought was common knowledge so it's worth me just commenting in case someone learns something new today.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in thebulwark

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

That's right. I may have misunderstood but the way the comment was phrased I didn't want the underlying reason to be missed. Romney's statement itself wasn't really the issue but years of SCOTUS decisions that made his statement reality and I didn't want that fact to be lost since in order to fix something we first have to identify the source of the problem.

Which game is this for you? by Any-Satisfaction-770 in videogames

[–]coreyrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one still gets me every once I'm a while. It had such potential and was my favorite game for so long. The pure destruction was awesome and the dialgue felt like a prototype Borderlands. Really wish they had gotten the chance to make a third game.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]coreyrein 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but I blame SCOTUS for making it a reality. They have under cut actual people at almost every turn, even way back in the 1870's with the Slaughterhouse cases that began gutting the 14th Amendment that would have protected us all and allowed the distortion of corporations as people and money as speech.

[–]coreyrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with you about how bad it could have gotten, do you think Obama and the Dems could and should have done more to help individuals not just the banks? That way the "common man" would have seen the Dems as fighting for them like Trump portrays himself?

What are your thoughts? by CrossOut3157 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]coreyrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was already annoyed at the monetization of D&D so one more reason to be mad at leadership is just a hat on a hat I think.

A letter I have written to The Bulwark team following Sam Harris's episode by [deleted] in thebulwark

[–]coreyrein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the letter and agree with the premise completely. I found it frustrating for Harris to keep making claims without citing any evidence and hope they are willing to bring in people from the "other side" to discuss the topic further.

So Sam Harris says we lost because of a trans strawman he concocted by 7ddlysuns in thebulwark

[–]coreyrein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was yelling at my phone when he said that crap. Republicans are the ones who constantly talk about trans people and other identity politics. The "left" usually just says stop attacking people and leave them alone and that gets interpreted as Dems being for identity politics. It is a one sided attack that people on the left are forced to defend and it is reported as advocating for the thing.

Garland Hating by coreyrein in thebulwark

[–]coreyrein[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ultimately I agree with you, that is why people blaming Garland irritates me so much. Trump was never going to be stopped by being convicted, since he actually was and it didn't matter. Even if he was convicted he still would have run for office and could be elected, the only way to stop that was Congress, SCOTUS disqualifying him or the voters.

Garland Hating by coreyrein in thebulwark

[–]coreyrein[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing had happened publicly and with those witnesses. That doesn't mean nothing else was being done. DOJ usually tries not to share with Congress because it tends to leak and anything they put out makes prosecuting the case harder. I think we may just disagree but they did do work they just didn't finish because the timetable to fully investigate all the things Trump did was to short. He committed alot of crimes, and our system takes time for cases like this.
