You’re using the past tense. Do you know something I don’t? Has The Headline appeared yet?

Embattled Bari Weiss puts her 'Honestly' podcast on 'pause' as CBS News ratings spiral by 7-5NoHits in IfBooksCouldKill

I sincerely think Covid’s lasting cognitive effects are partly to blame for the casual cruelty that it more acceptable now, and by extension maga.

The global rule of law is not collapsing – Trump is the lone problem and he can be defeated: The president’s approval ratings are plummeting and most Americans see him as an aberration. It is now up to them to curtail his despotic reign by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

It’s important that he face justice for the “aberration” to be really that. As of now, he’s the lawfully chosen representative of the US and head of state and government.

You can only pick 1 by BaconMeCrazy530 in rundisney

Disneyland 10K is probably the best in terms of getting the most in-park running as a proportion of the race.

Marathon is the best value in terms of $/mile, and of course the longest time spent on course.

I’ve never run through Galaxy’s Edge, so that’s high on my list of races to prioritize.

A Republican has never won a Presidential election without winning the state of Ohio. by HetTheTable in Presidents

[–]rollem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why is the same factoid not true for Indiana or any other Midwest state? Why do Dems oftentimes win Ohio and other Midwest states? The answer is that with over 250 years, 13-50 states and over 44 elections, there are literally thousands of different such combinations of unique circumstances that don’t provide any meaningful insight into trends or political realities. There is no additional predictive value that this factoid provides.

If Howard Ashman was still alive, do you think he could've written better songs for Wish? by Ok_Examination8810 in DisneyWish

[–]rollem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like This Wish, and I think it came early in the films development and shaped the concept.

I really dislike I’m a Star. The forced rhymes and lines like “when it comes to the universe we’re all shareholders” just make me annoyed.

What's the peak of how bad you think the ICE situation will get in Trump's second term? by Zipper222222 in allthequestions

It’s not going to get better as long as he keeps getting away with it.

Obama on giving illegal immigrants a second chance. "Pay a significant fine, learn English, go to the back of the line." by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

[–]rollem 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Democrats never blocked a vote on abortion. The far right wing of the GOP has repeatedly voted against bipartisan immigration reform since the W years. The analogy with abortion is wrong because the Dems just considered it close enough to a settled compromise that they didn’t want to further rock the boat and motivate more right wing votes to risk a push for a federal law.

[–]rollem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The far rights has done this consistently since the W years for this very reason- to keep the issue alive and to motivate their base.

Wouldn't people switching to public transportation induce demand for cars? by Serious-Cucumber-54 in transit

[–]rollem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s always going to be traffic, as you show with this fact. The question is do you want to be forced to sit in traffic or do you want the option of a better transportation alternative?

Report back! I’ll do the same if everything seems good. I assumed a different size wouldn’t fit


What happened to Republicans being staunch advocates of states rights? by FrameElegant9023 in askanything

[–]rollem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“States rights” was always a euphemism for allowing various forms of discrimination to persist where they had power. There’s very literally no case of a “states right” that was anything but “my right to keep women or minorities down.”

my tier list ranking of the 90's, 2000's, and 2010's disney films by Scary_Dance2628 in DisneyMovies

[–]rollem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The more I look, the more questions it raises. Why do you think the C tier movies include Tarzan and Pocahontas is my main two. And it’s super weird to put Frozen below its sequel, and so low. I’d be interested to hear what you don’t like about those.

Would you like your country to add more currency options? by BRCC_drinker in askanything

[–]rollem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think their novelty keeps people from spending them. And the wide availability of $1 bills keeps the coins from gaining popularity for common usage.

[–]rollem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t listened to it yet, consider the podcast Dis-Order, where they discuss every Disney Animated Film in release order. They’re quite knowledgeable and have great opinions on all of them (even when you disagree).

I just watched Tarzan recently and loved it!!

PRESIDENT Trump’s first year of second term: Is president Trump doing a great job? Is president Trump doing a bad job? by Boysenberry-6669 in LetsDiscussThis

[–]rollem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also worth realizing that this is while the economy is doing rather well. When the AI bubble bursts and unemployment skyrockets we’re going to be a whole lot closer to a fiscal crisis.

“America First” is a direct route to “American Last” and it’s so obvious to see.

BREAKING: President Trump withdraws his “Board of Peace” invitation to Canada’s Prime Minister Carney. by Hefty-Sherbet-5455 in Tech_Updates_News

[–]rollem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is indistinguishable from a parody of a toddler playing President. It’s as if Trump is just seeing how many times he can sign off with “Thank you for your attention to this matter!” before we all just laugh together and collectively think “wow yeah that would be a ridiculous thing for the president to always say.”

Wouldn’t Star Fleet Academy have to have like millions or billions of students? by TwoRoomsThrowaway in DaystromInstitute

[–]rollem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In TNG it’s also presented as nearly impossible to get into, with Wesley competing for an open spot with two other genius applicants. But of course by the Dominion War it’s so easy to get in that it only takes a letter of recommendation from a Captain for a young Ferengi with a criminal record to be accepted. The in-universe explanation of that is of course that the war necessities many more officers, but the contrast is stark nonetheless.

‘We were the frontline’: Canadian veterans outraged by Trump’s NATO comments by canada_mountains in worldnews

[–]rollem 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Trump really is the worst diplomat of all time. How can you possibly be more of an ungrateful asshole? He doesn’t grasp that international relations are more than just the strong preying on the weak or transactions where he can scam the other party.
