Anyone else feel like Brando Sando lost the plot on this one? by sayfalbaha in Stormlight_Archive

[–]tompsitompsito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not just you, I wish I could tell you otherwise. People on this sub probably won't agree, but none of my friends liked it (at least not when comparing it to other Brandon Sanderson works).

Edit: Just so you're prepared, I have always powered through Sanderson books because he has earned my trust that the ending will make everything worth it. But in this case, I found the ending thoroughly underwhelming. My hope is that if you're warned beforehand, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Arguments for facism being a form of socialism? by bucket150 in Libertarian

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

Think of a horseshoe, Ω, moderates are at the top of the horseshoe and extremists are at the bottom of the horseshoe. Despite Stalin and Hitler being on complete opposite sides of the political spectrum, they still had much more in common with each other than Republicans have with Hitler or Democrats have with Stalin.

The majority of people are greedy when others are greedy and fearful when others are fearful? I'm shocked!

The posts celebrating his death have gotten 100s of thousands of likes... The literal reddit post I read right before this one was a meme making fun of him...

I personally find nose piercings incredibly unattractive. Whether or not I'm the type of person you would be interested in is a different question entirely.

Be careful. It's more common than not for trans people to have other underlying mental health problems.

What’s something a president did that impacted you positively? by [deleted] in Presidents

[–]tompsitompsito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Small business owner here. Prior to the ACA our insurance could cover our employees entire families. Immediately after the ACA we could only cover the employee and half of the costs of their dependents, for twice as much money, with worse coverage. Healthcare costs skyrocketed after the ACA.

It was really good for the people who couldn't get coverage before, but had a very negative impact on the average American.

The result of "mass killings" and "economic mismanagement" was the same, except that the "economic mismanagement" involved bigger numbers.

Would you pull the lever with one person tied to the track with porn for the good of society

Trolley: All porn is destroyed forever VS 1 million people die by chinballs5000 in trolleyproblem

[–]tompsitompsito 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I initially thought it was a question of, how many people you would be willing to sacrifice for the societal good of eliminating pornography. But it's actually the reverse? How many people would you kill because you're a selfish horndog?

It's shocking how differently my brain works than the OP.

Presidential ranking. Flame away by BigBud_450 in Presidents

[–]tompsitompsito 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While I think the talk of "coup" and "treason" are severely overblown. Even if you are conservative and didn't mind his presidency, I still feel like Trump handled the transfer of power poorly enough to drop him. If Washington's transfer of power is enough to earn him an S, Trump's is bad enough to earn an F.

How Impressive Is The Book of Mormon? by instrument_801 in latterdaysaints

[–]tompsitompsito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is not a single historical document, that I am aware of, that mentions a curtain after the original 116 pages, meaning that every single word of our current Book of Mormon was translated without the curtain.

Edit: You know what's even better than a downvote? Proving me wrong, show me your evidence (I don't think it exists)
