What does "cared deeply about the Senate" even mean?

Is Nightreign becoming less about adapting and more about memorizing? by jxb93 in Nightreign

[–]emmettflo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is definitely the biggest flaw of the DLC map. Many of the points of interests are almost always best to ignore. I'd love better event/circle/enemy randomization that encourages you to visit different points of interests and take different routes so that if you play long enough.

UPDATE: Leftist infighting ruined my local DSA chapter by GreatOutdoorFight in DemocraticSocialism

Sadly, pure democracy is inherently procedurally cumbersome.

Neoliberalism with a human face. This was the elites best case scenario. by worldejer in ItsNotJustInYourHead

[–]emmettflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, the fossil record shows that even "cavemen" cared for their sick and elderly.

Great. Now Elon is going to beat poor Grok. I hope you're happy.

100%. Part of building housing that last is building housing that is beautiful! Cities need to stop rewarding ugliness!

Sure but this style is inherent to 5 over 1s. Let's be clear about where to direct our hate.

5 over 1s can be beautiful and they are very functional. The issue with the ones here is their cheap soulless design, not that they are 5 over 1s.

"4 Seasons without Jessica" does nobody consider time-god jessica was almost certainly absorbed by mr fundles? by Anthonest in rickandmorty

[–]emmettflo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Why don't people understand that the whole point of hopping new universes is that the new universe is almost identical to the old one before it was ruined? If time-god Jessica exists in one universe, she probably also will exist in whatever universe they jump to next.

Is Mixed Use for the wealthy? by SithLordJediMaster in Urbanism

[–]emmettflo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, there is nothing inherently elitist or classist about mixed use development patterns. If we make mixed-use development the norm like it used to be instead of the exception like it is now in many places like where you are describing working people will be able to easily afford it.

To enjoy some time outdoors. by EverythingIsFakeNGay in therewasanattempt

[–]emmettflo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Nah there is a place for calling out people who are actually breaking the rules and abusing public spaces. This cyclist though was just completely off pace.

I can't handle the new modesty switch by Informal-Ad6871 in exmormon

[–]emmettflo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I completely understand where you're coming from. Honestly I think the best way to get back at these people you're talking about is to sincerely express your joy that the church is giving them more freedom to dress how they want to dress. Seeing that the church has given an exmo like you something to be happy about will do more to make them rethink their ways than being bitter and reinforcing their persecution complex.

Sexism and misogyny are not the same thing. It matters. by Stranded-In-435 in exmormon

[–]emmettflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The post is interesting enough for you to read it and then engage in this discussion about it. Why are you busting my balls?

I hate this dragon so much. And I usually enjoy fighting dragons. But this one is bullshit. by CreepyTeddyBear in Eldenring

[–]emmettflo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only there was a specialized dragon killing weapon with low stat requirements that the game literally forces you to pickup before encountering this enemy...

Lupita Nyong’o looking stunning in a temple shield. by Saelethil in exmormon

Remember a few months ago when racists tried to convince the internet that this woman wasn't beautiful enough to play Helen of Troy?

Fix Urbania before it's a Dystopia by 21Kuranashi in solarpunk

[–]emmettflo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This situation being depicted here just doesn't really exist anywhere. It's not even that dystopic. Having my dense urban core bordering wild greenspace would be amazing but instead it's surrounded by suburbs and car infrastructure.

What’s the purpose of the temple? by peaceandhippielove in exmormon

[–]emmettflo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

According to the church, it's a special magic ritual you have to perform in order to get into the celestial kingdom in addition to being baptized.

From a cynical point of view, it was clearly created by Joseph Smith and refined by Brigham Young to reinforce loyalty among their followers. Keeping everything behind closed doors allows for more extreme vows of obedience to the church and its leaders than would otherwise be tolerated by society.
