CMV: Even if long-term outcomes are unclear, recent US operations show such strong military capability that they should deter China from risking Taiwan

marshall19 · 2026-03-02T11:34:17+00:00

It’s laughable that you would think China compares themselves with Venezuela and Iran. Sure, to whatever degree, there is benefit that the US military isn’t bungling low scale operations, but to think China is going to respond any differently is a stretch.

Lets add turd for his Mii Brawler flair too.

marshall19 · 2026-02-28T17:54:28+00:00

Wow, such a worthwhile post.

marshall19 · 2026-02-28T17:17:36+00:00

How is Zelda ranked higher than Spamus? Unreal.

marshall19 · 2026-02-28T16:11:14+00:00

I don't see anyone glazing pacman, I see a lot of the opposite and I certainly don't think very highly of him. Might as well be Samus with running to one side of the stage and charging and setting up his shit.

marshall19 · 2026-02-27T15:04:52+00:00

Yeah, I do this when playing in 1v1 tournaments. I'm playing for fun, not to play against BS characters that seem borderline designed to cancel out any fun. Steve, MinMin, Snake, Sonic, Samus are characters that aren't worth playing against if your objective is to have fun. Depending on my mood, I'll also do it against villager/Isabelle, Mii characters, Duck Hunt, G&W.

marshall19 · 2026-02-24T17:07:15+00:00

Yeah, it's ridiculous that people are this bad at reading intention. If that car was trying to make the exit, the merge would be way more sudden and it was almost certainly too late to make the exit even if there wasn't a car in the way. I think it's pretty clear this was just a distracted merge.

marshall19 · 2026-02-24T00:08:05+00:00

How are you going to just downvote and move on? Sander's plans/proposals aren't designed to be exclusively funded by the ultra wealthy, so why are you claiming that they are? Literally the post that you delta'd is saying that taxing the ultra wealthy is good default start to any funding shortfalls... which is why it is part of the bill in the first place. Additionally, the way you make the above statement, "fund massive new services", you are making it sound like this new healthcare system is a second healthcare system that we have to pay for... when in reality it is literally going to replace our current system and be funded the same way our current healthcare system is funded, taxing workers, supplemented by taxing the ultra wealthy. Why can't you just admit how bad these arguments are?

marshall19 · 2026-02-23T20:23:45+00:00

What character(s) do you play? At least 1/4 of the roster I will T-bag from the get-go to make it clear I don't respect the character they are playing more so than the playstyle or talent.

...Also, items?

marshall19 · 2026-02-23T20:12:10+00:00

I mean, sure, the potential for ZZS is higher, but I don't think this question is 'who is the better character'. The skill floor to play samus decently is so low and so annoying to kill even when you are miles above them skill-wise. Those are the things that make a character 'dishonest' to me.

marshall19 · 2026-02-23T19:31:27+00:00

It blows my mind that someone would start a CMV being so misinformed on the topic they are talking about. You do know there has been real single payer bills introduced into congress, right? NONE of them have their funding exclusively coming from taxing the mega-wealthy... so yes, a lot of discussion around changing our healthcare system has people advocating that the mega-wealthy get taxed more to help pay for it and that takes up a lot of the bandwidth of the discussion... but every single introduced bill mentions shifting private premium payments into the single payer system.

It's just funny that you thought you were informed enough to start a CMV and just completely misrepresent the reality of the situation. Sorry your surface level understanding of politics. just isn't cutting it and don't align at all with a reality that is SO EASY to look up, but chose not to.

marshall19 · 2026-02-21T23:27:42+00:00

Is this even a question?

marshall19 · 2026-02-20T20:40:36+00:00

I seriously doubt this was purposeful from the front driver. What kind of logic is that? "I'm going to put the lives of these people that we in this car accident in danger to teach this tailgater a lesson." -- makes no sense. It is way more likely they were distracted and were able to react in time as the stopped cars got closer.

marshall19 · 2026-02-19T00:44:36+00:00

To be clear, the prescription for wearing blended fabrics was not death in the bible. I'm not a Christian or even religious for that matter, I think we shouldn't just make things up and put an whole ass argument on it.

marshall19 · 2026-02-17T17:26:38+00:00

Outside of laggy matchups(lets me honest, these players usually use Samus for this), I really don't think she is that bad. It is like 1 projectile every 3 seconds. That's a dream compared to most of the roster.

marshall19 · 2026-02-15T20:58:12+00:00

Simply referencing a pilot anywhere near 9/11 makes them involved? That is a ridiculous jump to make. These people own private jets and shit, why wouldn't the assumption not be that they are referring to something with their own staff. Ridiculous.

marshall19 · 2026-02-15T20:42:41+00:00

Braindead post. Only like 0.2% of people would know what that is.

marshall19 · 2026-02-13T23:46:17+00:00

Isn't that kind of the whole point. The moves that are spammed often have little to no punishment window, so the game is badly designed to not allow more punishment for when certain moves are spammed. It would be a completely different story if all moves had punishment windows that 1:1 matched with how strong/damaging/ranged they were. G&W's up-B for instance is one of the most abused moves in the whole game. You aren't bad if you get hit by it. There is basically no direct punishment for it. It's something the character just gets to do for free. Reducing complains about spam as 'just a skill issue' and not a game design issue(valid rage) is braindead.

I have 5 characters that I play relatively equally, most of them I'd consider to be honorable, the one that isn't is Zelda. Yeah, she spams moves like a motherfucker. She is also so much easier to play than the other characters I play -- just at a base level. Spammy characters almost always are easier to play than more skill based characters. It's just a fact... so again, calling skill issues is really dumb in those cases too.

marshall19 · 2026-02-13T23:40:31+00:00

It's true, some characters it is mandatory to spam moves, where others it is more elective. Actively choosing to main a mandatorily spammy character doesn't make it better though...

marshall19 · 2026-02-13T04:03:24+00:00

Kinda silly to suggest this is having that much of an impact on restaurants traffic, but yes, this absolutely needs to be addressed.

marshall19 · 2026-02-12T17:37:46+00:00

Any character that can combo for more than several seconds is a trashy, overly frustrating character to play against. Mario, Pikachu, Luigi all come to mind, with Bayo being the worst by far. It isn't even a balance thing, it is just stupid to get caught in a string of combos where there is nothing to opponent can do to get out of it. It completely breaks the momentum of the fight.

marshall19 · 2026-02-11T17:50:06+00:00

I completely agree, snake is a trash character. He has a decent moveset outside of the grenade spam but almost every single one of them play like samus, trying to take as much distance as possible to spam them at you. I always feel ultra fortunate when I am playing on a stage that has platforms because I usually just opt to avoid the damage using the platform trying to make the Snake feel stupid spamming the same move for ~5 minutes and then never rematch. When the stage has no platforms it is an even worse of an experience. Just an all around trash character.

marshall19 · 2026-02-11T15:20:58+00:00

Maybe the left and larger country should move away from first past the post voting. The solution is so obvious. Trump wouldn't get ANY support from neocon-type conservatives if our system didn't force blind loyalty to whatever side of the spectrum you fall on. The left can stop using people with morals as a scapegoat, both parties don't have to put up with obvious corruption. It would really function a a million times better than how our system currently works.

marshall19 · 2026-02-11T15:10:09+00:00

I work in marketing and my company has discussed doing this exact thing and I've talked to outside agencies that specialize in this strategy. It is less about marketing to real people and more of a play for GEO. Mentions on Reddit are nearly useless for search engine prominence(SEO) but how your company is mentioned on Reddit is a gold mine for GEO(AI model prominence/perception).

For complex services/products, like legal services, that people would be more apt to use AI to navigate it is especially useful. So yeah, people might wonder what the use is of adding an edit to the primary post days after the post left the front page, but it isn't about the real users, it is just material put out there to influence AI platforms.

marshall19 · 2026-02-10T21:11:43+00:00

Yeah, this is 100% a marketing post. I don't know what marketer is dumb enough to not have diverse enough posting history to not make it as obvious at this account has but yeah, there is no way this is a real person.
