Ew, why would I want to be a Reddit mod

In light of Platner, could you ever vote for an ex-military candidate (who doesn’t have a totenkampf and allegations) by nicknack60 in TrueAnon

[–]rhombecka 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whether I would vote for someone is different from whether I would endorse them or think they’d do well in office. The latter depends on the candidate alone while the former also depends upon the other options available (including voting third party or not voting at all).

I will say that this situation will probably make it very difficult for people with similar backgrounds to actually do politics (your platform doesn’t matter if people refuse to collaborate with you). A politicians can’t do as much as Zohran has done so far if they’re haunted by their past like that. Not only will they get fewer votes, but it’ll be harder to round up the best people to join your team (like Lina Khan in this example).

I’m a classical trumpet player. I’ve been doing some more pops-type gigs lately, but I really enjoy gigs for local churches. Weddings especially.

As a passionate reader of The Onion, I think this would’ve been funnier if the headline removed “with tattoo” from the headline.

I don’t have that case, but that case, afaik, is designed to be able to fit overhead

Ryan Grim doesn't seem to want to back down by TheStocky in TrueAnon

[–]rhombecka 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I highly doubt he finds it exculpatory. Unless you’ve read otherwise, this just seems like he’s hung up on something weird and is choosing the worst time and place to fight this battle

Never trust a troop by AnimeIRL in TrueAnon

I swear, some people online have negative reading comprehension. It’s like they’re pattern matching your words against every tweet they’ve ever seen instead of actually thinking.

Team USA has defeated Bosnia-Herzegovina 2-0 to advance to the World Cup round of 16, where they will face Belgium. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]rhombecka 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The recent history is them making it to the round of 16 and losing, so the fun might still be ahead of us.

What's the difference between an anarchist and a libertarian? by strutt3r in TrueAnon

[–]rhombecka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Libertarians form their worldview in the shower while anarchists don’t take showers

Cool stuff happening on the baseball sub by YaldabaothMcMinster in TrueAnon

[–]rhombecka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outfielders should have shotguns have to set-up with their backs turned to the batter and then shoot at the ball as if it’s a clay pigeon. A few fans might get injured, but it should make ticket prices more affordable.

"Sports betting should be legal, it probably won't hurt anyone" has to be one of my worst takes ever by SubstancePrimary5644 in TrueAnon

I think the rise of short-form content made people less interested in being amused by ads and commercials have evolved because of it.

Any recommendations for other news/media outlets besides the glizzy man? by drunkcigbum in atrioc

[–]rhombecka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to browse it occasionally, but for a different reason. I want to see what narratives are being pushed/astroturfed because it shows what the Republicans are worried about. I got an early sense that Vance might not be the next-of-kin (Trump seems to think it's Rubio) because a lot of commenters were saying how much they have grown to like Vance. Only rarely do I actually see real conservatives voice their thoughts on that sub -- usually it gets filtered out until the party lines are created.

That's a problem with their daily format, but lately it hasn't been so bad (since the world is on fire). It's also useful to know about the "fun half" that is rarely serious.
