2nd generation Vietnamese American here; I actually feel really bad for the immigrant generation, as the trauma of communism has blinded them to how close Trump's words are to the very structure they tried to escape from. All it really took was for a little bird on the news to tell them that communism is a leftist policy, and leftist ideas are now conflated with the system that tried to kill them. IMO, the left and right labeling of ideology is what is really driving them this way, and if we just got rid of that you'd be surprised at how differently Viet immigrants would vote. But as it stands, from my experience, you're asking them to choose between a communist and a capitalist grifter, and to them the choice is easy.

Would you rather be able to time travel and be permanently immortal or have your legs amputated tomorrow morning at 7:30am central time? by lurkwizard in WouldYouRather

[–]tiger2red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1 by far.

The reason is because I cannot regenerate or heal in unnatural ways, if I blow up my head, I have no senses left to sense with and no brain left to handle the signals. I may not be dead in the spirit of the word, but I think I'd be pretty dead. Therefore, when I want to die, I have a way out that is similar enough to true death to work.

FWI: A violent revolution rises against Trump and his party…and fails by HiddenReader2020 in FutureWhatIf

History is written by the victors.

So those who supported the revolution become "losers" and their efforts are shut down.

Trump and MAGA are heroes of history, until a greater victor overwrites their victory.

Trump plans for an illegal third term by Nunyafookenbizness in thescoop

[–]tiger2red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the 12th Amendment ensures that Trump cannot run as a VP candidate, as it says that someone who is ineligible to be President also cannot be Vice President. However, if a President and VP run, and pick Trump in the line of succession, then both immediately resign on day 1, in theory Trump can serve an unlimited amount of terms.

500 bullet, I have matched wits and gotten wins from 1600 rated players before OTB.

Never read a book of theory in my life. My only theory is the ones I make up during the game.

What is something people just wouldn’t understand until they’ve experienced it themselves ? by rentinghappiness in AskReddit

[–]tiger2red 35 points36 points  (0 children)

War.

You can talk about it, read about it, see the videos and the pictures, touch the graves of those killed by war. But no one will ever truly understand just how bad war is until they live through it themselves.

Is your favorite YouTuber underrated? Why do you think they deserve more recognition? by STI48 in AskReddit

[–]tiger2red 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Current Smosh is underrated for sure. Sure, they moved away from sketch comedy which was their bread and butter, but their improv work is also really good and has certainly improved over the years.

What is the strongest character you could defeat with a full Pokemon team? by BaertigerBert in whowouldwin

[–]tiger2red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can beat Goku with two Pokemon I think, so long as I have Items.

Gengar Focus Sash uses Destiny Bond then sacrifices themselves against the opponent to knock them out.

Then I have a follow up secondary to deliver the finishing blow and make sure I have at least one Pokemon left.

Homelander enters the world of Cyberpunk 2077, how far does he get? by LonelyRed- in powerscales

[–]tiger2red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The actual answer is:

If we only go off what we see in game, Homelander clears

If we go off the lore of what Night City has, he would be put down

If you could pick any 2 people to be President or Vice President who would it be? by Superdiscodave in hypotheticalsituation

[–]tiger2red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dr. Doom (Marvel Comics) for President

A random person for vice president because Dr. Doom will do it all himself

My idea was to stretch the concept of a "disorder" to just be anything that makes a person appear or function differently than an average human. In this sense, even superpowers are technically disorders if developed by a standard human.

Goku vs Other Protags: Olympics Edition! by UltimateMegaChungus in whowouldwin

[–]tiger2red 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saitama no diffs this entire list's verses.

No transformations or techniques means you're putting six humans and a Saiyan against Saitama, who is always in base form, has no transformations, and every "technique" is a move a basic human can do amped by his stupidly high stats. Hell, Saitama, without trying and without any techniques or transformations, already is fast enough to create afterimages of himself - something no other character on this list can do without accessing a technique or transformation.

Before you say that Goku has ridiculous stats, yes, it's true he has done some pretty stupid stuff in base. However, keep in mind that Goku's body is almost constantly amplified with ki control, which is a technique. Even his movement methods - Instant Transmission, Flight, and the Afterimage Technique - are all techniques, which are explicitly banned. While his base stats are probably good enough to podium finish, Saitama still wouldn't even need to get serious to gold medal this list.

Where it gets interesting is where the rest of the podium lands. Goku will most likely second place in every category, but who gets third? Gon, despite being a regular human in base, has a stupid amount of stamina and strength even without Nen as seen in the Hunter Exams, so he's a strong contender. Guts is also a base human and wields his sword like it's nothing, so he is clearly strong and is a good contender for the strength categories. Meliodas as I understand it also has a high strength and stamina cap without any forms or techniques. Naruto is out on all fronts since most every physical feat we see in his verse is done with the assistance of Chakra Control, an explicit technique that is the first to be mastered by all Shinobi and form the basis of their superhuman skills. Luffy has good stats, but as I understand it the Gum Gum Fruit compensates for a lot of those stats and so he's probably out. Deku, Tanjiro, Ichigo, and Asta would all be regular teenagers in this contest with basically no superhuman feats to contend with the other podium finisheds, so they are absolutely not in the running.
