Not The Onion

Who goes to a hotel and expects a bed and air conditioning?

Dovere said there was no bending the rules with Sanders's demands. He recounted a story about a campaign stop in California when an annoyed Sanders shamed a hotel employee for not being able to get the thermostat below 65 degrees.

Sanders watched the employee fiddle with the thermostat as he sat on his bed, Dovere wrote. When she couldnt get it to work, Sanders reportedly ignored her apology, instead saying, So, Chloe... You dont want me to sleep tonight?

Literally laughed out loud at that last line. Bernie Sanders is like one of six people where, whenever anyone attributes a quote to them, I immediately hear it in their voice.

If I'm being 100% honest I feel like "absolute liar" applies better to Biden than Trump because the phrase I'd use to describe Trump is "detached from reality". Like Biden is infamous for lying, but Trump does it so much and so frequently that it feels like a different level than just lying.

suprak said carter was relatively well liked on r/the_donald. maybe he's not quite "super popular" there but they do seem to like him!

To clarify it is a little complex. The_donald wasnt a monolith so mileage definitely varied based on groups. Carter was one of only two democratic presidents that had any sort of favorable view there.

There is a chunk that was just virulent racists and sexists or just so anti-SJW that they didnt care they were hanging out with people in the former groups. They had no real politics other than SJW people bad people who yell at SJW people good. They didnt seem to care about any policies at all or just went along with whatever Trump said. These people didnt have much good to say about anyone one the democrats side outside of Tulsi Gabbard.

Then there were like hardcore conservatives that were piggybacking on Trump doing literally everything they wanted. They spoke of religion openly or tax brackets and poor people sucking. They liked absolutely no democrats and thought they were an existential threat to America.

The other really big group was essentially the politicians are evil the rich are out to get us the Illuminati are turning the freaking frogs gay people. They liked Trump because he wasnt a politician in their eyes. He wasnt part of the global cabal they thought controlled things behind the shadows. It was this group that liked Carter. I have no clue if it was because of his image as a humble peanut farmer or his work with habitat for humanity, but he was not viewed as part of the establishment. Very few people cared about his politics here, they just thought he was a genuinely good guy that was overwhelmed by the office.

There were other smaller groups that hung out in the Donald frequently but those were the most vocal.

Isn't all the budget stuff speculative in that "a WH source says that it will/won't have..."?

Again, AFAIK he can't stop them. "states rights." I'm pretty sure it's the same kind of deal with GOP-controlled states refusing to expand Medicaid when it's literally just keeping money/benefits/care going to their constituents.

Pretty sure when previous administrations have tried to "force" states to comply with federal aid in various ways they've all been struck down by the courts.

Yeah by all means dunk on Biden but he wanted to do an actual good thing and shitty Republicans wouldnt let him isnt really his fault. Theres no other grounds her for him to do anything.

The good news is theres like six other things in the past week to dunk on him if you want so just go that route!

The fact moderates can see this shit and think any sort of middle ground or reasonable approach can beat this.

The problem is the middle ground approach did beat this is 2020. I don't think the "not politically engaged" crowd is going to do any sort of internal reflection until after democrats get trounced in 2022.

Warren is probably my favorite active politician so maybe Im just holding her to higher standards than I should haha.

I agree it is way better than standard Democrat response and obviously not even in the same realm as standard Republican response.

I saw that chart the other day and was floored by how low the casualty count was. Obviously we want that even lower and there are way too many injuries and trauma caused by this conflict, but I really thought we were looking at like 2x to 5x those casualties over that time frame.

I also thought it was super obvious Jude Law was the bad guy super early on and the whole movie seem paced around it being a non-obvious twist.

I agree the 90s stuff is kinda fun and the Skrull stuff is good and SLJ front and center is always good. But Brie Larson and Jude Law were both kinda duds which is why Captain Marvel is probably a bottom tier film for me.

#27: Daiya Owada
Side Character Ranking: 3/8
Ultimate Ability: None
Actual Ultimate Ability: Ultimate You Guys Waited A Month And A Half For This?

So my last character ranking was 3/24. "Oops". I'm shocked people are still interested in this! Between having a new baby, starting a new job, and moving to a new house I've had...like zero time for side projects. Which is a shame because after this I wanted to do a Demons' Souls level/boss/NPC ranking topic and now who knows if I'll even finish this! Either way, thanks for everyone who has been bumping this and keeping this topic alive. You guys are the true heroes that fill this topic with HOPE while real life obligations have been filling me with HOPE TOO BUT DESPAIR FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING AROUND FOR UPDATES.

And. Heh. Ahem. What an update to come back to, huh? Daiya Owada a.k.a. wait why the hell is Suprak even wasting his time ranking this guy? See, I wasnt quite sure who all to include in these kind of ranking topics. I knew I wanted to include Monokuma and Monomi despite not being ultimate so I was already expanding a litte. The I thought of Alter Ego, who I consider separate from Chihiro so it probably deserves its own ranking as well. Then I was like, oh, you know what, I have strong feelings on how shitty the headmaster was and I basically have a rant all written up in my head, so lets throw him in. And if I was throwing in shitty characters I wanted to rant about, I needed to throw in [that idiot girl who killed Fuyuhikos sister] because despite the fact I have since forgotten her name, I really hated her and had THOUGHTS. Put her in and I needed to put in Natsumi as well because I mean it would just be weird if I put her murderer in and not her, right? So then I was at 38 and thought lets get to 40 so I threw in Teruterus mom because I remembered her two lines being hilariously awkward and I wondered if her dying maybe sent Teruteru into despair and that was at least interesting to think about. So now I was at 39 and for number 40 I would pick

Uh

Who else is there? There has to be one more character. Think, Suprak, think! Youd look like and IDIOT if you strolled in here with a 39 character ranking. There has to be someone Im forgetting.

Enter Daiya Owada. I had mostly forgotten about Daiya entirely and had to watch a Youtube video just to see if he had any actual lines in his flashback or not. He actually does have a speaking role, which I didnt remember. For those of you that somehow dont remember the tragedy of Daiya Owada the wise (its not a story the Monokuma would tell you), he was essentially Mondo and Mondo was a BIG FAT PHONY. Daiya was the one who built up the biker gang from nothing. Daiya was the leader of the Crazy Diamonds. Daiya was the one who had everyones respect. Daiya was, for all intents and purposes, the Ultimate Biker Gang Leader. We find out that on the day Daiya was to retire, Mondo challenged him to a race in order to try and win some respect from the other members of the gang that were all basically like uh Daiya is awesome but this bullshit is straight up nepotism and that doesnt fly in classy respectable organizations like ours. Only Mondo doesnt win. He fucks up and winds up getting Daiya killed and Daiya is so awesome about the whole thing that hes basically like heh my bad right little bro? and just makes Mondo promise to keep the gang together now that hes dead.

Daiya sounds like an awesome dude, and if he was around more I am almost positive Id like him more than Mondo. He seems like he is the guy Mondo is pretending to be without all that macho insecurity attached to it, and even though he has all of three lines I still like him more than a huge chunk of the cast that seems to only be here to annoy the hell out of me and get in the way of the fun Im trying to have. He seems like a badass and an actual good guy (if you ignore the fact he started a biker gang and biker gangs tend to do a whole lot more crimes than they do genuine community improvement). I felt like Teruterus mom was a little heavy handed with her whole moms are tough speech, but for some reason I didnt get the same impression from Daiya even though his scene is a whole hell of a lot more dramatic. It might have something to do with the fact that I hate Teruteru and dont hate Mondo, but I didnt feel like Daiya was quite as blatant of a lazy attempt to tug at my heartstrings and give sympathy to a character who didnt deserve it. He has a minor part, but I feel like he fills that role well and he makes the conclusion to 1-2 a little more enjoyable because of it.

With that being said though, even though I like Daiya, this is as high as I can have him go and even this feels like a bit of a stretch. Dude has three lines then dies. There isnt much to get attached to here. I like most of the cast of these two games, so Daiya really only gets to sit above those characters that either annoyed me or that I really did feel absolutely nothing about. Hes a character who probably winds up higher if hes around for any serious length of time or has more of an impact on the story. But still, 27 isnt so bad for a guy that gets ten seconds of screen time.

next ranking I swear is someone you actually care about. Thanks for hanging in there, though!

Yeah. It is a tragic situation obviously, and I know that like the Hulk was obviously recast. But like you said this would feel different to me. Norton wasn't the same thing to Hulk as Boseman was to T'Challa. It sucks to lose the character, but I dunno. If you just recast T'Challa I'm going to spend the whole movie comparing the new actor to Boseman who just won't be as good.

---

Moops?
"I thought you were making up diseases? That's spontaneous dental hydroplosion."

I saw a petition the other day that people just want Boseman recast basically.

I think that is my least favorite option, but I can at least understand why people might want it. I would much rather they pay some sort of homage to Boseman and just let the character die. Black Panther is just a title anyway and there are a bunch of interesting ways they could go with it.
