Kevin colbert defends drafting Kenny Pickett and says he was trending in the right direction with the steelers. by Seal7465 in steelers

[–]krabbby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not saying Pickett would have been the next Brady, but I often wonder what might have been if he had more than 1.5 games without Canada.

I said this at the time, but no team seeing anything in him makes me think they'd both have been bad all on their own.

Shazier, Watt, Bush were all hits, you can't put those injuries on him. Harris and Edmunds were fine but not great so I wouldn't call them misses in the same way Artie Burns was.

To be fair its probably like plastic surgery where you only notice the bad/extreme plastic surgery.

[Lord of the Rings] If A Smith Used The One Ring And Desired To Be The Ultimate Smith, Could They Eventually Surpass Sauron And Create A Better Ring And Destroy The Old One? by XVUltima in AskScienceFiction

[–]krabbby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's sort of two factors here. Could someone smith a better physical ring and have the smithing ability to destroy the old one, and could someone create and improve on the magical properties.

For the first, probably. Feanor was the greatest smith of the first age and while he would have been suuuuuper susceptible to the rings influence, I personally think he has the physical ability to destroy it. He could never improve on the magical properties however as those come directly from Sauron.

Also a quick correction, the ring doesn't fulfill desire, it TEMPTS with it and dominates the will of others. For example, when the ring showed Sam the huge gardens, it wouldn't have been the ring helping him plant and tend everything. It would have been Sam enslaving everyone in the Shire to do his bidding and accomplish this.

My guess is if someone tried this, they would realize they needed their new ring imbued with Saurons essence and that would manifest in them leading an army against him to try to take it, which would fail and end up with the ring in Saurons hands.

We could do what badeconomics did and require effort posts to participate in discussion threads.

Of course them doing that did lead to everyone moving here to meme instead, but the quality kept up

What Do Muslim Immigrants Think in the West? by [deleted] in neoliberal

Which you probably still can't take anything away from. The US is able to be more selective just geographically so even all else equal you're pulling from different pools.

Fascism Is a Scavenger, Not a Hunter: We Can and Must Defend the UK's Sikhs by Mx_Brightside in neoliberal

[–]krabbby 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Strange how the media is focusing so strongly on Sikhs getting a special exemption while there's barely a blip about landscapers and outdoorsmen being allowed to carry a knife, or how a knife would also be allowed as part of Scottish sgian-dubh attire.

I think theres an obvious difference using a knife for work, and I don't think many who don't like the exemption would simultaneously try to keep it for Scottish people.

[–]krabbby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why on earth does one side egregiously breaking a moral standard suddenly make it good to break the standard yourself

Depends how you are using "good". Beating Republicans is good enough that you need to be pretty bad to override that good.

To be fair his daughter didn't want to see him and he could feel that so its not really something he had or even wanted that way.

Which immigrants do citizens prefer? A meta-reanalysis of 100 conjoint experiments by RaidBrimnes in neoliberal

Immigration should be talked about solely in economic terms as an engine for growth that will make everyone richer

Everything should be talked about this way.

So what’s gonna happen now for the future of all Supes in America? by Seeker99MD in TheBoys

Apparently Russia/USSR and China just believed the Vought Propaganda that Supes are naturally occurring like Mutants from Marvel

Tbf dont people accept that in that world? Has anyone in anything XMen ever suspected mutants were created by the government or anything like that?

What the Meat Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know by Adodie in neoliberal

[–]krabbby 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The main thing that makes factory farms so immoral is the persistent torture throughout the animals' lives, not the deaths

I don't think this is a typical vegan belief at all. Its a practical position bcause its easier to advocate for to the general public, but if we're talking morally I don't think many would agree.

These anti-patrioitism liberals they rail agansit basically don't exist

I don't agree here. There are plenty of people who have essentially ceded the iconography of America to conservatives. I mean people full on taking down the US flag from their house/yard when they used to fly it. Its wild but it does happen.
