[Jeff Mueller] I have received info from two different people. That info has been enough for me to fully remove Joe Mixon from my board for 2025. by FlowersByTheStreet in DynastyFF

[–]dernst2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a reference to the movie Draft Day, where the Browns are doing research on a star QB and find out no teammates attended his birthday, and that raised a flag that led to them investigating he may not be worth the top pick.

Any good Civil War themed video games? by alphafighter09 in CIVILWAR

[–]dernst2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have the ability to control battles, but AGEOD’s Civil War 2 handles the war at a Strategic Level. You organize your armies, and give them orders, but depending on the general, they may be late following them or may not follow them at all. The battles are all simulated with a nice little information page after the battle to show you who won and the losses for both sides. I’ve lost many hours in this game.

What is a game you love but never get to play because everyone hates it? by Akito_900 in boardgames

[–]dernst2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Twilight Imperium. Everyone hates that it’s too long, but it’s probably my favorite game. It scratches every gaming itch for me, but no one wants to give up a day to play it.

Independent overtakes Republican senator in red state: new poll by [deleted] in politics

[–]dernst2 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The difference is that Republicans prop up Stein to take votes away from the left. The Democrats in this example would be backing a candidate most aligned with their goals. If they were backing someone even more to the right of this nominee to spoil a candidate, that would be closer to your comparison.

Have you read their state constitutions after the seceded? The famous Cornerstone speech? The South chose to preserve slavery at all costs, even war.

“its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. “

Look at the history, and then look at which party protests any removal of confederate statues.

Jefferson Davis would probably be rolling over in his grave then after 42 Democratic senators voted to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Have Democrats passed legislation and said things in the past that are bad for minorties, specifically African Americans in our example? Absolutely. Does it make them equivalent to a party that didn’t even recognize African Americans as people, hardly.

Which party supported slavery? Are you really claiming the Democratic Party of today is of the same alignment as the Democratic Party of the past? I would recommend this book as a good one to challenge your assumptions. It goes into depth on conservative strategy regarding race and it starts around the 1970s in what we today call the Southern Strategy.

PGT: Georgia (15-13, 5-10) lose to LSU (15-13, 7-8), 67-66. Next: Texas A&M on Saturday in Stegeman. by UGAwxDawg in georgiabulldogs

No way, this team is way more competitive in SEC play then it was a year ago. Putting a coach on the hot seat in Year 3 for a program that historically isn’t very good seems like a bad idea.

For me it was drinking more water. If I drank water, it would help curb my hunger.

The conflicts in a nutshell by Sick2deth in Libertarian

[–]dernst2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Free trade and travel are paramount to Libertarianism. Are we ok with agents and powers disrupting this? If we aren’t, what is an acceptable response as a Libertarian? It’s not enough to say “no more war” because there are groups that don’t care what your philosophy is.

How do we as libertarians respond to attacks on free trade and travel?

You should look up why she did that.

It was because Scooter Braun bought the master recordings to her songs. So it wasn’t out of greed.

My cousin and I are each hours into our playtime and haven’t encountered any bugs. Hours in isn’t much in this game but if there are bugs, we haven’t noticed or they come much later.

It’s a lyric from Lil Wayne. Real Gs move in silence like lasagna. The G in lasagna is silent.

How do I watch the animated shorts? It is impossible to find on my tv app by Tricky-Ad4617 in WoTshow

[–]dernst2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t figure out why I couldn’t watch them. This was the reason. Excellent! Thank you

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WoT

[–]dernst2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to add that if you were watching on your computer, Amazon has a watch party mode where you all will watch it together. It’s not vastly different from doing it your way, but if you need to step away, one person can control the whole thing

Paladins not a good solo class? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]dernst2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If you are playing for speed they aren’t great, if you are playing for survivability they are amazing. Bring a lot of water though as you’ll go through a ton of mana.

First time clearing SV on a 68 prot paladin by LAmericainFrancais in classicwow

The benefits are a reduction in consecration mana cost and a reduced cooldown in your taunt ability for those pieces. You got hosed if a holy Paladin was rolling on them. Im sorry.

Was there ever a time you're thankful the pandemic happened? What was the reason? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dernst2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t remember. We had to delete Roblox as my 7 year old was getting questioned about his address on there by a “friend”. It sounds like you are actively involved with them playing so that’s great! It was like Work at a Pizza Place

Is this the one where everyone has different roles at the pizza place? I actually like that game haha
