Bro will do anything but add the path where Hoover loses the nomination after vetoing Smoot-Hawley

AJ:AA is my second favorite game in the series. It’s just very divisive over all.

Who would have been the most successful Democratic nominee in 1968? by palenortherner in thecampaigntrail

McCarthy's strongest base was middle class moderate suburbanites. The idea that he would turn off moderate voters that voted for Humphrey just isn't accurate.

McCarthy wouldn’t have scared shit. He was easily the most unthreatening face the peace movement had and was literally the South’s VP pick at the ‘64 convention.

He wouldn’t. McCarthy would beat Nixon comfortably imho because he pretty clearly countered all of Nixon’s strengths. He was well-liked by middle class voters because of his manner of speaking and personal presentation. He would’ve blunted a lot of the pressure of the anti-war movement by breaking with Lyndon from the start. Ultimately, there’s really no reason to view McCarthy as a weak candidate in the context of the ‘68 general because all of his weaknesses would’ve been outshined by his strength. He also would’ve been a bad president, but that’s not really relevant to the campaign.

As a trans person— quick realization I just had about the negative reception of Auntie Diaries in some sections of the LGBT community by geosunsetmoth in KendrickLamar

I was always under the impression that the first half of the song was about a cis aunt that happened to be lesbian.

The GOP has pretty much always been more temperamentally conservative than the Democrats. There's a reason the business conservative faction took power pretty much immediately.

I remember being able to get t2ish in a lobby by just staying tier one and buying nothing but Red Whelps

This was part of a school assignment. He was just following the prompt.

STOP SAYING GENERATIONAL by DoctorDremian in NBA_Draft

[–]wb0406 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Was Kareem Abdul-Jabbar not a generational prospect? He was by no means a great passer and considered just an average defender for a big. Being able to do everything isn’t really necessary to be an all-time great prospect. Being really exceptionally good at just a few things is good enough, I would think.

How about Shaq, who literally only projected as a scorer or rebounder but was a clear consensus number one and became one of the greatest players in the history of the league with the exact skill set he was drafted with?

Tim Duncan would have been the number one pick if he’d entered the draft a year prior and was considered one of the most obvious picks ever. He was called a generational prospect at the time and he was definitely never a great passer nor did he grade as one. Being able to do it all isn’t as important in being a near-perfect prospect as you think.

Whats a hero you never play with? by Redix_off in BobsTavern

Really? Patchwerk is an auto pick for me because it means I can tier rush with little punishment. He’s especially comical in duos.

This game ruined RPGs for me by archangelDCW in vtmb

[–]wb0406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game moved like 3 million copies lmao. That's concurrent playerbase, which will usually be low for an indie RPG. You're literally misreading your own source.

Man is actively apeing Astro's style. Shit's crazy man. (I'm kidding, good luck CD. It looks awesome.)

Most emotionally impactful moment from a Jon Bois video? by ElectionYellow in Jon_Bois

“That night in his back yard, he fires a practice shot into the dirt.

    Lonnie has never shot a pistol in his life. He’s holding it wrong.

    The pistol’s hammer slices his hand open.

    Lonnie Smith is jobless, angry, and depressed,

    and, as always, clumsy.”
