It’s honestly why I offer to host for our game. It makes me clean my place up to a presentable to other humans level at least once a month.

Ginger was the “humane” version of the trick because it didn’t kill the eel or potentially cause the horse injury. Feagued horses could die from the eels trying to survive and biting what they could.

I was wondering when someone would drag that poor, pure, eel-loving soul into this thread.

So back in the 1700 and 1800’s shady horse sellers would “feague” their horses by inserting an eel or raw ginger into their anus to make them act more lively and thus look more vigorous and young to a prospective buyer. Today’s one of those days I wish I didn’t know that random historical tidbit.

It is one of the truly bold decisions they made in storytelling to have Gideon die like that. The narrative still feels the echoes of the loss to this day.

They crave the boot and for someone to lord over them. So by all means, we should give them exactly what they want. Healthcare for all and redistributive monetary policy whether they want it or not.

@funranium.bsky.social This is a new one I’ve never seen before in terms of home “engineering”.

One of the truly standout moments of the entire film. It was so unashamedly weird and tonally jarring to what had been happening just before. Utterly fantastic.

That’s honestly one of the greatest things about magic art. The pieces are always stunning, even for draft commons and uncommons. The industry standard is to only put “good art” on expensive cards. And MTG’s policy is just that bangers belong everywhere.

It’s just literally not going to happen. No one is ever blocking this creature unless it will literally lose them the game otherwise. No one is stupid enough to let you ramp multiple non-basic lands for completely free over taking 6 damage in a 40 life format.

I love that his wife and their girlfriend stayed to together for their remaining ~20 years after his death. Really shows that they were a devoted polycule and loved each other deeply.

Major narco-trafficking. I’m a criminal defense attorney and in my state more than a 1g is a felony. 30lbs could manufacture ~300,000 fake oxy-contin pills.

I’ve never forgotten these lines since I heard them as a young teen. It’s an unvarnished truth that stays with me.

Jumpstart is the single greatest “intro to Magic” product they’ve ever released. Been the most effective way to get people involved by just slamming two packs together of the 4-5 people I’ve taught since 2020.

Love how this dude discovered the cheat codes of "what if I listened to constituents" and "what if I modeled good behavior" and "maybe I behave like a normal person should." These are apparently dark secrets that have been hidden from other politicians.

As a lawyer, that is one of the most realistic courtroom scenes ever put to film. “My Cousin Vinnie” is almost a documentary about actual trial practice.

They always have. The era of shareholder capitalism has created ravenous beasts that must be constantly beaten to heel lest they maul us. If a company can make $1 more by letting poison into their food than the fines it costs them, they will do it. Everytime.

Steven King talks in his memoir/teaching book about how he just “clocks in” and writes ever day. Whether it’s good or bad can be figured out later. Kinda speaks for itself that he produces novels every 1-2 yrs like clockwork. There’s a million “want-to-write” people out there. Writers just write.

I was throwing open container after drawer everywhere last night trying to find that pack of AAA batteries I know I just bought for my remote two months ago… sure that I put them somewhere safe so I could find them easy later. So honestly, yeah, I could use one of these…

Had that happen. Ripped half of my dominant hand thumbnail completely off when reaching into the washing machine and it somehow got caught on one of the drainage holes of the drum. Just stood staring at it for at least half a minute until the pain actually started.

Capitalism says “line must go up” so now we’re doing 6-7 sets of ENTIRELY NEW cards every single year. It’s clearly not sustainable from a design and production perspective. Which is why the pastiches are get worse and worse. They’re not allowed to give these sets the care and love they deserve.

It’s not just quality, it’s quantity too. Like if I only have $5 until payday then I can’t buy the $10 toilet paper 6-pack that saves me money long-term. I have to buy the $2 single roll instead. Now add that up to every grocery item and it gets easy to see why it’s so true.

I like Ekthi a lot because she solves a lot of the fundamental issues I have with equipment decks - creatures and equip costs. Once you have all the equipment, having to also add good creatures to wear them and ways to cheat equip costs gets burdensome. She solves both.

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.

You’re “Not All Men”-ing what is a clearly well attested to and seen phenomenon of older people being susceptible to AI slop. We know not all boomers fall for it. But by making it about yourself, you make people question whether you’re protesting too hard for some reason.

Yup. Ronald O’Bryan in 1974. There’s been urban legends about poisoned kids for as long as trick or treating’s been a thing. But there’s basically zero documented cases anyone can point to besides O’Bryan.

Apologies, it wasn’t over a divorce. It was his crippling debt. He took out life insurance policies on his own kids, the bastard. Murdered his own son for the money and tried to act like it was a random neighbor.

Become part of the national psyche like the “poison laced halloween candy”. Which was literally ONE guy who poisoned his own kids’ Pixie Stix to get revenge on their mother as part of a hostile divorce. Not one case of a stranger poisoning kids’ Halloween candy but the fear’s with us forever.

Someone distributed like 6 or 7 random pill bottles of Tylenol at individual grocery stores that they had dripped cyanide onto. A couple people died but it took so long and was so spread out that they never figured out who. This is the main reason OTC drugs have “tamper” seals and the like now.

You’re all good friend. Not trying to come for your head or anything. Just found it kind of funny since this is completely his journalistic beat. As a criminal defense attorney, I recommend his books highly to lay people who want to understand some of the stuff I deal with as a public defender.

Oof. Yeah. We get a lot of “bigshot” civil lawyers who breeze in thinking they can advise someone criminally because they win jury trials… on civil dockets. Always goes poorly.

I give the man credit for the work he did as Transportation Secretary. For all of five minutes we did have some actual rights we could invoke against the Airlines when getting yanked around. And yeah, the point with naming him was to say we have a better option if we want a McKinsey-esque candidate.

Melange de fete sounds so much cooler than “party mix”. Épix Nourricier has a ring to it as well but I do like Spike Feeders.
