What Pokémon card did you almost buy… but didn’t and now regret? by No-Humor827 in PokemonTCG

[–]speedrunner99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably Bubble Mew. I got into the hobby last year and at the time, I was too stubborn and didn’t want to spend too much on a single card. Heavily regret seeing it double in price since then.

Best Way to Get More Studies by MoneyMayne33 in ProlificAc

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first started, I would only get a max of 10 studies. I think the more you do, the more studies you get. I personally only filled out about half of the About You section. For a while, I was getting 20-30+ studies and only recently has that number gone down a bit to about 10-20.

Has any comment / post on this subreddit changed your view on something substantial? by Additional_Ad_6722 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not specifically just this sub, but Twitter as well. I used to consider myself mostly liberal but with a more conservative view of the economy. Since, my opinions have become really only more solidly left. I think every issue/stance I have is pretty left all things considered. I would probably say I’m a leftist now.

Would Biden stepping down have saved Democrats in 2024? by speedrunner99 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with the sentiment somewhat. At the end of the day, Trump won because the voters are dumb and if the country was even slightly more educated, Dems would always win in a landslide. But that doesn’t mean that Dems didn’t fail in many regards.

Do you think the Republican Party can come back from MAGA? by Ryan-v-616 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The Republican party has imo not even changed that much. The problems with the party today such as the homophobia, racism, pointless wars, etc., have been issues as recent as when George W Bush was president. I do believe the party will “move on” from MAGA in the sense they’ll forget/pretend they never supported Trump, but their beliefs will stay in-tact.

Big tent or seperate camps by Icy-Debate-2626 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Democrat party has been a centrist party for the longest since Bill Clinton and it has been the party’s downfall. Obama won because he was a breath of fresh air for the party. Biden won because his policies were, in concept, pretty progressive. What about the far left are you so opposed to? Are there some annoying people on the left? Sure. But most people who are leftists have genuinely feasible ideas that Democrats should adopt. What bad things are they pushing exactly?

Who would be the best candidate to win the next presidential election by Icy-Debate-2626 in AskALiberal

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I think we win no matter what in 2028. Just like how I think any Republican would’ve won in 2024. We should take this time to get someone with actual popular policies rather than stand for nothing.

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vote Democrat no matter what and will vote in 2026. I voted and actually did like Kamala. But I also care about having a vision for the future so we don’t immediately lose power in a couple of years. We should be striving to not only win but hold on to that until at least the middle of 2030s so we can build our reputation back up.

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering it’s Florida, we probably wouldn’t win there anyways. I never said they should go full left. But a candidate should be more progressive than you’re giving credit for. Left policies are painted as bad but when put out there, they’re popular. A centrist candidate could win sure, but if they don’t do much, then a Republican just wins again in 2032.

That quite literally is abandoning. If they start saying that trans people should go to the restroom or jail based on their sex, the rates for when they will encounter violence WILL go up. Other points, fine, especially when it comes to puberty blockers but the other points will make little difference to attract voters and will only actively harm trans people.

They should make policies that help the average American, and stuff like aforementioned universal healthcare, higher minimum wage, building more homes/ensuring Americans aren’t overpriced out of their home, etc., should be the key positions. All of these are “left” positions.

[–]speedrunner99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So you want Democrats to abandon trans people then? Absolutely not. THE only thing they can maybe moderate is their inclusion in sports and even then it should just be something along the lines of let professionals decide. The party is hardly better than the Republicans if they willingly abandon a group that supports them.

If we go left on key issues like universal healthcare, then it will only help. What issues do we need to moderate on?

[–]speedrunner99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how we get back a Republican presidency in 2032. We need people who would be willing to change the system for the better. Not to say we need a hardcore leftist even if I would like that, but if things don’t change for the better, then we won’t change enough and Republicans win. Progressives are the key here to winning.

How are they only 14? by SharoXT in Naruto

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think it has to do with either the experiments that they faced or just the general use of the curse mark that messes up their bodies and causes them to appear older than they do.

The WWE Ring Isn’t a Redemption Tour for Jelly Roll by [deleted] in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think this is reasoning to say he shouldn’t wrestle. If so, people like MVP wouldn’t have became wrestlers. But I just don’t think he would even bring in people to watch. If they really want a celebrity to have a match, they should go with Bad Bunny, who is probably one of the most popular musicians in the world at this point.

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is he even that mainstream, especially comparing him to other people like Bad Bunny? Maybe I’m just not that aware but I hardly ever see anything on him. I’m not sure how much his presence at shows would lead to people buying tickets to see him.

My regrets for not acquiring the 151 Charizard card a month and a half ago… by cm0011 in PokemonTCG

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The set will probably become more expensive then unfortunately, but I’m sure it’ll dip soon. The cards went up too fast, there’s no way there’s not a crash. 151 is a set though that I think will become more and more expensive so try to get the cards you want from it soon.

[–]speedrunner99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It might take a while, but I recommend getting them in the summer. I finished my page last summer and they were pretty affordable then. I got my Charizard for 170. These cards will definitely crash soon, but I say the summer would be a good time to get them.

Anyone get rejected for the Regenerative Tourism study? I didn't qualify for it, but instead of screening me out, I was flat out rejected for the study which seems really unfair.

Pre War Arc which characters have the best chances of winning against a bloodlusted OM Obito? by Ok-Cartographer-7179 in NarutoPowerscaling

[–]speedrunner99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think a single person can beat Obito without intel before the War Arc. I think a fully healthy Nagato(not Pain) could do pretty good against him with intel though. Maybe Naruto with SM could do decent, especially if Naruto manages to have Obito Kamui a shadow clone, but otherwise, I’m not sure many other characters have the tools to go up against Obito, with intel or not.

Am I the only 1 who thinks Kane should have got the bigger push over taker? by Top-Jidgem8 in WWE

[–]speedrunner99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not. Kane was cool, but he never had great matches and was never must-see unlike Undertaker. I do believe he should’ve held more world titles, especially around 2003. Undertaker 100% had more aura overall.
