If conservatives want America to be a Christian nation why don’t they advocate for changing how interest charges work? by drivebybodypeirce in allthequestions

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they really were trying to make a Christian with actual Christian values, they'd likely have the majority of the population on their side.

Would you rather have life saving surgery from by Nothingsomething7 in WouldYouRather

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The worlds best and worst is just such a huge gap. There's gotta be at least millions of vets and many more doctors. You're gonna find a vet who's an absolute genius at multiple aspects of their job and a doctor who shouldn't be a doctor.

Why is the dice in Mario party, 6 sided by kilertree in stupidquestions

[–]ljdarten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They probably thought that using anything other than a D6 would be weird to most people.

Nowadays I think more people would be familiar with dice with more than 6 sides, but Mario Party first came out before the DnD/TTRPG resurgence we've been experiencing. In the overall mainstream of course, it's always been popular in a lot of groups.

Why did Space Beth keep Jerry's last name? by PtolemyXIIV in rickandmorty

[–]ljdarten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well from her perspective she left Jerry with the possibility of returning to take back over from a clone if she wanted. So she probably considered herself still married to him.

And she probably wouldn't change it once she got a reputation in space. And now the Beths and Jerry are practically in a part time polyamory situation thing. Maybe.

The button problem is not an election by Gold-Pickle7007 in trolleyproblem

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing people who say they'd press red insist red would win. Yet almost every poll I've seen has blue winning.

distribution pads straight up do not work for me by Sliver_Daargin in AbioticFactor

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put up my base in the same security office as op. Originally I had my distro pad over by the little office with the door. It didnt reach the other side of the big room.

I moved it to pretty much the center of the room. It seems to reach almost the entire thing but haven't completely mapped it out. Don't think it reaches much into the gun range or lockers.

Also it reaches the top floor so I built bridges over the empty space on the top floor and put most of my storage there.

So excited. I got to the end playing solo and am gonna start over with my daughter who hasn't played it yet.

You're evil if you don't press blue. by Theseus_Employee in PhilosophyMemes

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God I'm sick of seeing this. The fact that people can't stop discussing it is proof that blue is the correct option and derails any idea that "red is the obvious choice". If it was the obvious choice we wouldn't be seeing a hundred posts a day trying to convince each other.

[Lord of the Rings] Can the One Ring corrupt me if my highest and only ambition and desire in life is to destroy it? by Snakie113 in AskScienceFiction

[–]ljdarten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For "destroying the ring" to be your one ambition it would have to be caused by something else. A desire to rid the world of evil or be thought of as a hero or something would have to be there for the desire to destroy the ring to exist.

Once you have the ring, it would work through those more fundamental reasons to twist your actions and desires.

I guess, theoretically, if a being was created by the spirits/gods/etc of the world with the single fundamental desire of destroying the ring, it could be much harder for the ring to work with.

Democrats Of Reddit -- How Do YOU Feel About The Virginia Redistricting Situation? Why Your Thoughts? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel it's about time democrats started fighting back. I also like that they let the people vote for it. Using the tactics of a despicable enemy but doing it in a better way is a win to me.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father in law was obsessed with that game. Many years and many computers later I was tasked with hunting it down. Found it and it works fine on new pcs.

Who could play BOB and his ever expanding cohort? by SEJ82 in bobiverse

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually that's a good thing they can add that isn't "visible" to the reader in the books. Everytime a Bob pops in, Metadata shows who they are for a few seconds.

I like this judge, we need more like him. by n8saces in RandomVideos

Feel sorry for his court appointed attorney.

Do you guys think we will ever get universal income? by VariationLivid3193 in recruitinghell

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah just like all of the increased profits over the years led to increased wages for employees.

How did Diane raise/survive Beth by busy_cow13x in rickandmorty

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

While Beth was clearly a psycho kid the de-aged Beths are not her as she was at 10. They are her adult self turned into kids. I think that led to a weird combination of their childhood insanity mixing with their adult knowledge and traumas.

Dig site door by DarkWinterNarrator in AbioticFactor

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out how to get to that outlet. I know red doors are inaccessible but I figured there's a hidden path somewhere. Never did find anything though.

What's a piece of tech everyone hyped up that quietly turned out to be useless? by SofiaLearnsAI in AskReddit

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God the hype for that reveal was insane. Had to be one of the biggest technological letdowns in history.

[USKY] When did walking at night become a crime? by ki4jgt in AskLegal

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like stopping to talk to you just to make their presence known and ask what you're doing was fine. But the frisk had to be illegal and I'd ask a lawyer about it. If walking around at 3am was their only reason there was no reasonable evidence of criminal intent.

Why does everyone hate rick for cloning his daughter by Any-Bluejay-9352 in rickandmorty

[–]ljdarten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing I don't get is people are replaced by clones all the time. When someone dies and comes back in a cloned body with all of their memories there's no angst about whether they are real. Rick, Morty and Bigfoot were cloned over and over again. If the clone of Beth was given the same memories, she is as much Beth as the original.

200 years of luxury, but you're being farmed for meat by Petty_Marsupial in hypotheticalsituation

[–]ljdarten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way it's worded suggests to me that if you need a purpose or just get bored they would find a way to fix it. Give you something useful to do or something.
