I’ve never forgotten these lines since I heard them as a young teen. It’s an unvarnished truth that stays with me.
Leper from Princess Mononoke saying “Life is suffering. It is hard. The world is cursed, but still, you find reasons to keep living.

We have been for like 2+ years. Rules changed so that if a token copy of an actual card is made, then it shares all the values of the original card, including mana value.

Illustration of political theory called Fishhook theory where going far to the right enough ends back up with the centrists.

A few, surely. Just don’t end up like our little friend here when they come to get you out.

This ancient pandemic banger I still can’t stop thinking about.

Thread forum where one Magic the Gathering player questions if eating in-game food tokens during Ramadan is haram.

Second poster jokes about a possible game scenario:
“Ok no player played a spell this turn so it turns to night.”

“Alhamdulillah. Sacrifice Bottle Gnomes to gain 3 lifepoints.”

Real interesting in how similar we think. I describe mine like one of these coin vortexes. Most days I can continue circling around the edges and do fine. But when something bumps me out of a good orbit, I can get stuck into a downward spiral. Recognizing the spiral is so important to stopping it.
Child about to drop a coin down the chute in a “coin vortex”. It’s a exhibit common at science museums used to explain black holes and/or the curvature of space-time caused by gravity.

I’m glad to have a second copy of/cheaper alternative to Galadriel’s Dismissal. I love the modality of being able to save my own board or take out one players’ team of blockers.
Copy of the card Galadriel’s Dismissal that phases out on creature as an instant for W or kicker for 3W total to phase out all of a player’s creature

Photo of bomber plane riddled with bullets that returned, showing that armor should go the places the returned planes were not hit, because planes hit there don’t return. I.E., survivorship bias.

Absolutely agree. The appearance of the Darkness Devil heralded by these spacesuits is still one of the hardest manga panels I’ve ever seen despite coming out over 5 years ago.

I went non-determinatably infinite with it in my Sidisi deck with the Reaver and Path of Discovery. Milled my entire deck except like 3 cards and put every creature in my deck into play. It was gross.
Sidisi, Brood Tyrant Magic card. Makes a 2/2 zombie whenever a creature enters the graveyard from your library.Path of Discovery Magic card. Makes it so every creature that Enters does the Explore trigger which either puts the top card into hand if its a land or I can choose to put it into graveyard if non-land.

Asshole dude says womens’ colored hair is like poisonous tree frogs bright colors, that it marks them as toxic. Women hilariously reminds him that in this example he’s made up, that would make him the predator, not a potential mate.

Yeah! It’s nuts.
Lucas Babin, actor in School of Rock, later became a local district attorney in Texas and tried to indict Netflix over them distributing a french film, “Cuties”, arguing that it was “obscene”. The notoriously conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals shut him down as even they agreed it was a vindictive prosecution not based in facts.

You can’t play it with Zirda as a companion as it doesn’t have an activated ability of its own, but Hazel’s Brewmaster is Cauldron copy number two but slightly different. Better in some ways, worse in others.
Magic the Gathering creature card Hazel’s Brewmaster which exiles a creature on entering or attacking and makes a food token. It then has a static ability that says all Foods you control have the activated abilities of all creature cards exiled with it. It’s nutty.
