Be a real shame if they were to get thousands of e-mails featuring nothing but pictures of jelly beans marked as applications.

“True free markets have never been tried!”
lol
I think I’d rather be launched into the sun over Jupiter. The sun you die pretty quickly as you get closer to it. I can’t imagine there’s much that could stop heat once you get past Mercury. Jupiter though? Jupiter is fucking spooky. Its core is hot like any molten core, but there’s no crust. You’d fall through the sky and just keep falling for hundreds of miles. You’d eventually die from the heat like you would with the sun, but you wouldn’t be able to see anything. At some point all you can see is goop. It’s like being underwater in the Mariana Trench, but the water is nitrogen, metallic hydrogen, and liquid silicone.
Yah the reason Europeans have stuff like free education and healthcare is because the US does all their dirty work. Iraq is a perfect example. The US took very little oil for itself, continuing to rely on South American and domestic fossil fuels. But Iraq wasn’t keeping its oil for itself, it was all being siphoned off to Britain, France, Norway, Germany, etc.
Is Trump actually a Hexbear doing deep undercover? Someone needs to check his e-mails.
This has been a common tactic for the right going back as far as there have been mass shootings. They will always claim the shooter is part of some out-group, while simultaneously cheering for mass murder. Then they will bring out “”““crime statistics””“” about how black and Latino people are the real mass shooters, so a white shooter doesn’t count because reasons.
This was the case in my town when In-n’-Out burger opened up. The line there is still huge years later now after it opened. We tried it to see what the big deal was and it was…slightly better than Burger King? Yet it costs the same as a local burger joint who have way better food. I do not understand American taste buds.
Yeah. Caterpillars are moth/butterfly larvae, which are insects. I think ant and termite larva are similar (but stumpier).
He doesn’t appear until season 2 and it’s hilarious. He’s in every episode after that.
If I remember right, the way it’s depicted in the show is basically how it went in real life. DeVito showed up to the set and was like “let me be part of the gang!” and they were all “okay why not?”
because we didn’t have any black people
Yeah that tends to happen when your country doesn’t abduct over 20 million people and take them across an ocean to another continent so they can be used as slaves lmao
Yeah it’s another form of American Exceptionalism and White Man’s Burden. Even if libs don’t actively think about it, it’s heavily ingrained into their ideology.
Malcolm X had a speech about this where white liberals will insist on taking up leadership and administrative positions within black organizations, instead of asking what the existing leadership wants them to do. It was largely why he spent most of his career not wanting to do any organizing with white liberals, even when they claimed to be allies. I think this is why he regretted the way he brushed aside one white woman and woud talk about the interaction years later. She did the correct thing in asking what she could do as a white person to help.
tl;dr-- the cruelty is the point.
So Gandalf’s damage ability doesn’t count towards commander damage. Commander damage is only from when a commander deals combat damage to a player via attacking.
You want the cheapo hard counters like Arcane Denial, Dispel, Mental Misstep, Red (or blue) Elemental Blast, etc. Basically, counters in EDH can be rather subpar because you have multiple opponents and you’re 1-for-1’ing. You and the owner of the countered spell are each down a card, while the other players are the same. They means you want them to be cheap or have draw/replacement effects on them. tl;dr-- holy fuck get rid of that Cancel it hurts my eyes.
For draw spells, there’s Treasure Cruise, Gitaxian Probe, Brainstorm, Ponder, Preordain, Windfall, Prosperity, Narset Parter of Veils, Lorien Revealed, Frantic Search, and some others I’m forgetting. One trick is to combine Ponder and Brainstorm with a shuffle effect from cards like Merchant Scroll and Scalding Tarn to act as an Ancestral Recall.
And for fuck’s sake where is you Command Tower and Sol Ring? That’s how every deck in EDH should start lol. Both have been printed into oblivion so you should buy them for dirt cheap. Go do that. Like right now before you do anything else Magic related. Hell, someone might just give you one if you ask nicely.
Notably (to my knowledge/experience with it) confession is fundamentally centered around penance and forgiveness, rather than around solving the problem. That’s not to say a priest would never give advice if you asked, but the structure of it is like that. When I used to be catholic and would go, it was never like, “Okay, what are you going to do to act differently?” It was like, “For your penance, say five hail marys” or whatever.
“God is dead, for we have killed him.”
This is exactly what Nietzche was referring to. Because religion shifts responsibility onto itself, religious followers don’t actually address their problems. Nietzche was being literal and metaphorical. Literal as is “the death of Christ at the hands of mortals” and metaphorical in the way you describe.
Nietzche thought this is why religious people often become nihilistic in both thoughts and actions. Because they are no longer to blame for others’ suffering, the religious person (Christians in particular) adopts a worldview that nothing in life matters because it’s all just preparation for the afterlife. It becomes easy for them to witness suffering and take no action because of it.
This has bled over into secular thinking, as well. Even when non-believers and apostates don’t have beliefs in religion, their ways of thinking have remained the same. This is especially rampant among capitalists who think the system is perfect. The system takes away blame and shifts it onto the disenfranchised (“Choose to be homeless,” bootstraps, welfare queens, and so on).
lmao @ Oregon having a higher incarnation rate than multiple countries combined. That’s got to be one of the most damning cases against the US when one of the “progressive” places has so many people in prison. Even worse if you go look up the demographics of Oregon prisons.
A few years ago it was found black and Hispanic people were incarcerated at higher rates than whites, despite white supremacist prison gangs causing the most violence in Oregon prisons.
In addition to what other people posted, WWI was a source of the “1 rifle, 2 men” myth. Because WWI was fucking awful. Multiple countries had logistical problems. Sometimes your daily rations would be a bullet and a slice of bread. This was especially true for Russia, who managed to lose despite being on the winning side of the war.
One of the catalysts for the Russian Revolution were the conditions of WWI. It was the second major war the Romanovs dragged their country into where they weren’t prepared and were defeated within living memory (the Crimean War being the other).
There were often supply shortages during that time, but western filmmakers are derpshits and got it confused with things in WWII because it was convenient post-war as Cold War propaganda. This was made worse by Germans being the only sources of information regarding the Eastern front prior to the collapse of the USSR and opening of the soviet archives to Western historians. Nazis being nazis came up with all kinds of excuses as to why they lost while insisting their enemies were weaklings.
US is the first and only country to ever use an atomic bomb. And not just one bomb: two. So of course we wouldn’t launch a preemptive strike, right?
If there are only two digits after a decimal and less than four digits before, you could probably figure out if someone was doing budgeting using their computer. Like if the user imput is:
99.99 + 27.63 + 127.48 + 4.99 + 2.99 + 10 + 283.57
…that looks a lot like someone calculating monthly bills and expenses.
Dude casually gives Great Replacement as a justification for Trump. JFC Richard Spencer did a helluva job rebranding skin heads by making them change into khakis.
lol. lmao, even.
KKK has included cops and politicians among its members for as long as it has existed. A lot of places they will have parades and other rallies right out in the open in broad daylight.
