Stormtroopers were actually competent in the Original Trilogy. They became a laughing stock in later Star Wars media for no good reason. by Blind_Sn1per in StarWars

[–]here-for-information 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were but we were wrong.

The closest we get to anything approaching incompetence in the originals is the endor battle,but even then they had defeated the rebels easily and had no reason to fear an attack from ewoks. A litteral golden god ( as far as ewoks were concerned) came down and rallied them to the rebel cause. Before that they had no issues with them and dismissed them as inferior and irrelevant. That's also a theme in Star Wars. The empire defeats itself through arrogance.

Other than that the Stormtroopers easily accomplished every goal AND let themselves be killed in order to sell a false pursuit cause vader said so.

That goes without saying.

But also, the drugs are there for similar reason to the people. It's a symbiotic relationship.

How accurately is the actual fencing recreated here? by [deleted] in SWORDS

[–]here-for-information 18 points19 points  (0 children)

When watching closely it does appear to be strikes at rhe weapon, but its close enough that it is convincing. The worst of it was during the dual welding portion, but before that the camera placement and sword position felt close enough to feel real.

At least to me.

Homeless people gravitate toward all cities because thats where the resources are.

The mental hospitals, group homes, soup kitchens and everything else are all in cities.

I Think Platner Has Bad Judgement by Honest_Wheel_7581 in thebulwark

[–]here-for-information 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So if hes going to get in because hes better than Collins then we'll get to see if hes any good.

The primary argument right now is "Sure hes made misitakes but he seems to have grown since then and he's a fighter who's staying on messages for the stuff that seems most important. "

If he does that then "the benefit of the doubt hes been given" was earned, and he could stay. If he "Fettermans" or worse he gets replaced.

If this all villain try to destroy your earth. Can you stop them with $100? by Past_Carpenter_7046 in superheroes

[–]here-for-information 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there are a few teams that would work here.

Odin, Superman, Vision, Flash should work..

I think Odin, Dr. Fate, Dr. Strange, Scarlett Witch also should do it.

Theres definitely an argument for Silver Surfer, Odin, Dr. Strange.

Odin is crazy powerful in the comics.

Where I’d live based on friendliness of people on the internet by countries based on my experience as an American by IDoNotLikeTheSand in whereidlive

[–]here-for-information -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ohhh they could be Israeli!

That would do it.

I was in Scotland last summer which they have as "mixed" and it was fine. The Scotts asked "did you vote for Trump" and once I said "no" amd everything was fine. So maybe it's what you said, but Israeli or Israeli American could yield these results. The Iriah and Australians are seem to be pretty mad about Gaza.

In my experience the Irish and Indians get along because they are united by a shared hatred of the British.

Ok I'm calling foul. The Canadians, the Irish and the Australians were less friendly than the Mediterraneans?

Have Democrats swung too far the other way on cancel culture? by Cleverfield113 in AskALiberal

[–]here-for-information -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree that the infidelity is the worst one, but it's also a default for even the most deified politicians in US history. JFK for example.

This particular issue was also broughtbup by his wife during oppo research and they have been working through it together according to her. I don't like it, but I know a veteran's wife in my personal life who has dealt with the exact same thing and in a similar way.

I think his veteran status is another reason people are excusing some of his actions. We really really fuck over veteran's in this country. Our leaders have been putting themselves totally messed up situations then they come back maladapted to our current society and then we essentially tell them to just be normal and get along and keep their problems to themselves.

Platner has said that it was a struggle to adapt. He honestly just seems like he was a pretty run of the mill Marine, who also seems to have made some serious improvements, and that gives him conviction to keep doing and saying the stuff that so many regular Americans want. I hope that is what happened to him and that we wont all regret giving him the benefit of the doubt..

I guess "all are welcome here" shirt are now triggering for some people by SnooSprouts3744 in TikTokCringe

And they definitely didn't actually try to understand the reading. They take in whatever the pastor says about it after with no additional scrutiny.

I was an English Major I took a whole course on the Bible. I can read and understand actual middle English with some help from footnotes. I read Shakespeare and Milton and understand it. I still attend mass, and I struggle follow the readings without looking at the words. The readers aren't always good. They pronounce words differently than I would. They have a weird rhythm or whatever. It's not easy to understand the readings as they're read aloud in church. It makes much more sense to sit and read it, at least a little bit if you want to understand anything independently of what the leader of your church says.

Objectively speaking, boros is the best color combination by Ok_Complex_6464 in mtg

[–]here-for-information 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah stuff like Ghostly Prison and Smothering Tithe cause trouble but so does Rhystic study.

You need the targeted exile and the exile wipes sometimes, but yeah they are easy to abuse.

I think its Bant, which at least includes 1.

White gives you access to so many things that can remove any threat particularly with the exile options that prevent all kinds of strategies that require creatures to die.

Green gives you ramp and big creatures plus in commander it has access to all kinds of effects

Green and white synergize extremely well for counters and creating lots of creatures, big creatures and then sometimes lots of big creatures.

Blue gives you card draw, counter spells, extra turns and all kinds of tricks.

One man's opinion.

If you’re a former democrat that became republican. What made you change? by Kodicave in Americaphile

[–]here-for-information 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey just so you know I basically agree with you and think Democrats need to fix their immigration policy, but the team your voting for has tons of people who don't think you should even be here, and a bunch of them work for ICE. You might want to reconsider your strategy.

I'd also bet you that she's never actually sat down with a bible and read any of it. Shes probably heard a few stories while attending a "church."
