grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 06/10/2026"revisionist" is a funny charge for the conservative party 000
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 06/10/2026"i don't get why this is noteworthy" ok how about we don't post about it then 020
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026ok you are just totally opposed to spitting something out besides "ur wrong" so i'll be closing the door on this, goodbye 000
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Sorry, I don't think that's true. It probably varies by area. But for e.g. SF, probably the most visible and troubled city for this right now, it's absolutely a large chunk. They may as you say be majority long-term SF residents, that's very believable. But not "vast majority", no. 000
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026oh my god bro. it doesn't matter how many qualifiers we add - he just said a large chunk of them! which is completely undeniable! it's both true and important and you shouldn't resist that just because your enemies use it as propaganda! 100
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026ok? he didn't even say /that/. he said a large chunk of homeless youth. idk what you're saying i'm speculating about. neither the guy nor i said that most homeless people go to cities in search of services, or that most homeless people aren't long-term residents 100
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026"At the time they lost housing" only means they were at least briefly able to make it work to some extent. The guy did not say they were homeless in Nebraska and then went to be homeless in SF. 110
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Sure, and Oran wasn't the first time, either. And what? This is being mobilized to say what? 200
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Read literally what again. All you said was that my post was untrue. 100
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Are you saying that they were in fact expelled? Anyway, here are some testimonials where they tell you what happened. pieds-noirs.stir.ac.uk/pied-noir-st...pieds-noirs.stir.ac.ukPied-Noir Stories – Pieds-Noirs 200
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Thus the false construction: Postcolonial Algeria expelled Europeans, unjustly victimized them, that is what the Greens et al want done to our poor Israeli colonists 000
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Zionist ideologues know just as well as everyone else that they have common cause with the world's other colonial projects, and so will twist those histories to align with their narratives. 100
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 04/10/2026In the case of South Africa, the idea that white South Africans are being targeted and expelled is broadly known as a fascist fake-news conspiracy. In your post, you have done the same thing for Algeria. This is the inevitable ideological alliance of colonial apologia. 100
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Those rarer Euros who chose to stay... stayed. And are still part of Algeria, just like white South Africans (who were the other example used by the group you're talking about). 100
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 04/10/2026They literally were not expelled and instead chose to leave rather than face living in a postcolonial state. Their political identity was French rule, and when that was removed, they left. 100
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 04/10/2026"Algeria's expulsion of the pied-noirs" Famously, the pied-noirs left Algeria in response to a massacre by the French Army. This massacre was a police action which happened while the pied-noirs were mass-protesting the treaty ending French rule in Algeria. 200
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Would you like to say what you think is incorrect in the text of the motion 000

grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The full quote is "If one harbours anywhere in one’s mind a nationalistic loyalty or hatred, certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible." 010
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 28/09/2026if you imagine in your mind a pitbull, how well trained is it right now 010
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I'm seeing that. I'm seeing that mandatory stuffing of one set with all the marketable contents of a universe leads to consistent design antipatterns and audience frustrations. 050
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I literally don't think it's accurate to say one is done "for constructed" and one is done "for limited". I think these phrases are smoothing over the truth of "for chase" and "for cracking asfan". It is not gameplay-focused decisionmaking. 000
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Did the players tell you they wouldn't play Avatar because it didn't include Korra's stuff? That they didn't like LOTR because you held back the Hobbit? 110
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026 These are reasons to be incensed at Trump's executive orders, rather than at the municipal administration which decided it couldn't accept funds if those funds would force it to turn shelter-seekers away. 030
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Capture the whole property because that's what serves Magic set design the best, or capture the whole property because that's what serves the licensing deal the best? What's being economized here exactly 170
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026And I don't think it's quite accurate to describe this as being done "for constructed" and "for limited", both of which are degraded rather than improved by this decision to overindex on marquee characters. 000
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I don't think that is "very fair", and obviously neither did Maro and the other designers of every set prior to the UB era. I think it seeks to maximize a certain type of first-pack-ever dopamine rush at the expense of experiential design cohesion beyond that. 100
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026What I suspect he is really saying is "we want one cool rare one for people to look at and want, to represent the character when people look at cards online, and one common one to maximize the as-fan of people's favorite characters". 210
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Why is that "very fair"? It's an extremely new idea in Magic set development, and if you feel it doesn't serve the cohesion and experience of the game, you can just say that. Why would we be like "yes I agree we need one for limited and one for constructed" 210
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026yeah like Magic: The Gathering for example. But critically, you wouldn't do a set where a design goal is to include all the notable named characters from Magic: The Gathering. That's not really the correct scope of a set. 270
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026oh fair enough it's disqualified by four months. shoot i thought we won 000
grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Yeah it "tells" you that 80% of the period in question is "between 5 and 20+ years old" 220

grumpenprole.bsky.social @grumpenprole.bsky.social · 26/09/2026it's a maddening liberal fantasy and 2026 is late enough for everyone to be able to see that. Veep ate its lunch 120
