These are all things I was really trying to hammer into someone saying they wanted to move there and escape the hate of the US. It's not like we created it. I can't fault anyone for wanting to go, it's not something you can just run from unfortunately. We have to fight it both at home and abroad.

No it wasn’t. This is simply not true and is a major misunderstanding of the dynamics of genocide.

Always enjoyed Dan's work. Know No Fear, Ravenor, and Sabbat Martyr have to be the ultimate examples of his talent if you asked me.

Even if you were unable to get the deck, it was not the artist's fault. Buying/selling fake copyrighted goods is illegal. People are ripping off WoB's whole shop, which directly steals profit from the artist. Please support @wizardofbarge.bsky.social and call out shops profiting from their work!
A Retweet from Wizard of Barge that says "This was taken so out context it’s insane. The message was to not buy overpriced decks from scalpers. Now I got 50 online shops pop up overnight ripping my entire store and using this to justify it"

The original tweet is from Polygon and says "'Bootleg the entire deck': Magic artists speaks out after goblin Secret Lair fiasco" with a link to their article.

I'm actually really liking it, the Storm Speeders are still cool but they feel more like replacements for dedicated flyers, this fills that fast attack/scout craft role nicely

because that's how everything works now. If something happens that is inconvenient for your political beliefs, it's fake news, an AI hoax, a false flag, etc. Liberals and leftists do this less often than conservatives, but the gap is closing fast

I've been arguing with people I know about both this and the assassination in 2024 as both being very real and very dangerous signs of where our society might be heading and all I get is denial. Reality is having its last gasp in front of my very eyes and I fear the future

I was thinking it would probably end up something like the labor corps the army filled up with mainly black draftees in WWII. All around just a bad deal. Who knows, though, like I said this admin is based mainly on cruelty and insanity

I keep seeing this sentiment and I really don't mean to be offensive in any way about this question but genuinely what would stop them from drafting trans people as their Assigned Birth Gender? They're already taking licenses away in Kansas and this administration has shown no shortage of cruelty

I hope you're fucking happy @emuhp.bsky.social I present to you my venn piagram
A venn diagram made of pie. The left side is an apple pie with a solid pastry lid. The right side is cherry pie with no lid. The overlapping section is apple and cherry with a lattice lid. It sits on a deepish black baking tray, the pastry isn't the neatest, and it is the most ridiculous thing I've ever made.

LMAO I called Visa’s customer support service - the guy on the other line was like “are you ALSO calling about the video game payment processing? Please send us emails instead.” Keep up the calls, folks, we’re definitely gumming up their works

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night... 🤘 🖤

Legit, one of the best moves we ever made for our YouTube was to start focusing on things we liked and found interesting over talking about things we didn't like. Outrage sells, sure, but it's hard to sustain it and still love what you do.

one relatively minor thing that's come alongside the rise of SOF veterans as influencers is the idea that these people know how to win wars, when the birth of special forces as an institution can be directly graphed alongside the U.S. no longer winning real wars

re: generative AI I have finally fully and accurately explained my problem with how it’s marketed and used. And now, you can use it, too.
Generative Al is being marketed as a tool designed to reduce or eliminate the need for developed, cognitive skillsets. It uses the work of others to simulate human output, except that it lacks grasp of nuance, contains grievous errors, and ultimately serves the goal of human beings being neurologically weaker due to the promise of the machine being better equipped than the humans using it would ever exert the effort to be.

The people that use generative Al for art have no interest in being an artist; they simply want product to consume and forget about when the next piece of product goes by their eyes. The people that use generative Al to make music have no interest in being a musician; they simply want a machine to make them something to listen to until they get bored and want the machine to make some other disposable slop for them to pass the time with.

The people that use generative Al to write things for them have no interest in writing. The people that use generative Al to find factoids have no interest in actual facts. The people that use generative Al to socialize have no interest in actual socialization.

In every case, they've handed over the cognitive load of developing a necessary, creative human skillset to a machine that promises to ease the sweat equity cost of struggle. Using generative Al is like asking a machine to lift weights on your behalf and then calling yourself a bodybuilder when it's done with the reps. You build nothing in terms of muscle, you are not stronger, you are not faster, you are not in better shape. 

You're just deluding yourself while experiencing a slow decline due to self-inflicted atrophy.
