Is vegeta prince of all saiyans considered a politician?

[–] Alchemy 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I had to look up who that was, I thought it was DBZ but wasn't sure. It does appear that he is the deposed leader of the fallen Saiyan race which would qualify him, sorry :(

[–] NocturnalMorning 18 points 1 year ago

Dang it. Sad day for saiyans everywhere.

I just realized that a distinction wasn't made between current and former politicians. Once a politician always a politician?

[–] Alchemy 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Everything is amendable with what the community wants. For me, Jimmy Carter will always be a politician even if the image is of him doing Habitat for Humanity, Boris Johnson will always be a politician even if he is ice skating. Same with trump, putin, Zelensky, Trudeau, Thatcher, etc.

What about Arnold Schwarzenegger, former governor of California?! 🙀

I'd propose that Arnie the actor is allowed, but pictures of him in office aren't, please!

[–] Alchemy 4 points 1 year ago

That's a tough one, to me Arnold will always be an actor, but I also never lived in Cali.

Ronald Reagan?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Of course he is, why else would they need to bring in this rule?

Can we ban pictures of someone's personal life update? This is how r/pics turned into a facebook feed.

[–] Alchemy 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Do you have an example? Im having a tough time imaging what kind of picture that would be.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Just by taking a quick look

This is #12 top of all time

#16, #18, #19

Don't get me wrong, they're awesome life updates, but the sub in question wasn't intended for that.

You know that's going to result in a bunch of shopped "sexy Trump" etc photos ...

[–] OneOrTheOtherDontAskMe 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't want a whole community dedicated yo sexy photoshops of aging politicians?

I'm bursting at the zipper over the idea of a Diane Feinstein bikini shoot over here
