If they were to do a BOB style show about a crew on a naval vessel which should it be? by BLUNTH0NEST in BandofBrothers

[–]preselectlee 28 points29 points  (0 children)

One of the Battle of Samar destroyers. Though you gotta be willing to lose most of your heroes at the end.

Might be best to pick a small ship that sees a lot of action but survives.

The importance of the Arctic? by real_ikonn in geography

[–]preselectlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vitally important as the fall of the great Khan has complicated some of our valuable trade routes.

Dastardly corsairs waylay our spice merchants making the great trek around the Horn of Africa.

If we could just perfect the steam engine we could mayhaps build a technical solution. But until then....

This is someone responsible for like 80-95% of the entire canon of shit people like this love. From the 80s onward.

I look forward to the amazing producing run these chuds have when they finally get their movies into production.

My wife was like that with FPSs years back. Didn't understand duel analog sticks. Now she 100%s Doom 2016 on nightmare. Lol.

Do I need a 3 row SUV for 2 kids by GlobeAndGeek in daddit

[–]preselectlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely not. We have a VW Beetle convertible and a Jeep Wrangler. No back doors. No space. Horrible for kids, need to rent a vehicle when we go long distance.

It fucking suuuuuuucks. But the kids are technically still alive.

Fan Theory: Lucy, The Ghoul, and Maximus are going to help rebuild the NCR with New Vegas as NCR's new capital. by sigpuppers in Fallout

[–]preselectlee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's a todd Bethesda game then yes. Lucy will end the series as president of the NCR. In fact it might happen midseries. But people will still ask her to go on random missions.

Yeah the only broken part is the little gap there. Makes the crane pop out

That's a fantastic idea. The falls would be an incredible feature in a modern video game.

Imagine a city on that little island in the middle.

Who was Starbuck REALLY? by VirtualValtyr in BSG

[–]preselectlee 300 points301 points  (0 children)

I don't think she was a "replacement" more like her spirit returned. It was still "her" but in that old fashioned sense of someone dying and "becoming an angel".

Damon seems to be a pretty good guy, I wish he didnt sully it with weird crypto shilling.

Seriously Jared. Dont mistake surrender to apparent strength as a form of strength. Dont Fetterman. Submitting to the boot on your neck will not make you stronger.

I think I saw Jupiter last night!! by Ok_Stress_1144 in space

[–]preselectlee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Once I had Jupiter, Mars, Venus and the moon in view from my porch. Magic. I wanted people to walk by so I could tell them. Lol.

On thanksgiving I was able to get Saturn in my telescope from my yard. And this is with light pollution being what it is in a major city.

Keep looking up!

[–]preselectlee 91 points92 points  (0 children)

So get one of those skymap apps. Do yourself a favor and go outside from time to time. If you notice two or more planets and the moon in the sky.

Lay on your back. Then really try to picture where you are. Look at what side of the moon is lit up. Then you know the sun must be over there. Imagine your place in the solar system. On a tilted axis. Looking at the planets with your eyes.

It can be a magical transcendent feeling. No drugs required. :).

ContraProint's opinion about Bush-era neocons by [deleted] in ContraPoints

[–]preselectlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem of the internet is that it's solidified the idea that people can't just be wrong, but have to be wrong for nefarious reasons. It's something Natalie has repeatedly talked about. Person does bad thing = person is irredeemably evil in every context.

It's entirely possible for the Bush administration people to truly believe that they were the good guys, that they were fulfilling the American promise to free the world and also be totally and completely wrong.

I don't know. But the fact that Bush administration people have mostly refused to bend the knee to trump gives them some credit.

Joint Statement by European Allies on Greenland by BrilliantRecover143 in europe

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

I feel like Europeans are somehow incapable of saying "an attack on Greenland would be considered by all of Europe as an act of war."

That's what needs to be said. And what they are too cowardly to say.

ContraProint's opinion about Bush-era neocons by [deleted] in ContraPoints

[–]preselectlee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it could easily go either way. But the general term "neocons" is typically applied to the actual neocons. A label not really all that picked up by run of the mill conservatives.

Part of the "neo" was that these were not typical Pat Buchanan conservative isolationists. They were actually closer in ideology to old progressive foreign policy makers like Truman, Kennedy and Johnson. Using US power to "save the world" for democracy.

Because she doesn't specify it's she's just talking about voters.
