After reading the alt text, how could I not?

and MtG recently printed a card that even removes the 100-card limit of commander (Whtz, the Bibliophile)

yugioh set a hard limit of 60 cards after this happened MtG still hasn't, the only limit is "can you shuffle your deck in a reasonable amount of time"

Farmers who need to plant crops are getting up at the same time regardless of what the clock says, they're getting up when they need to to get the crops planted.

do we know what state he posted this from, by any chance...?

So you're arguing everything is fucked forever and we should all just give up? Real helpful, that.

There's a 90% chance -- being as he's American -- that he means he nearly "got hit by" a cyclist *in his car* while turning without looking to see if the bike lane was clear.

Very much so. And coming up with new ways to draw common words/phrases/etc.

Given the (very marginal) slowing of the earth's rotation due to the moon's influence, I would have assumed this, given that the rotation is why the earth *isn't* round?

As a trans woman, if I didn't know better, I'd think Pterry was a trans egg. I'm quite confident however, from having seen the *rest* of his works, he was very comfortable as who he was, but had friends who were trans.

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I think what Terry Pratchett was good at was having friends in many walks of life, and relating *their* experiences as though they were his own. See also all the trans and nonbinary allegories, from Eskarina to Cheery to Nobby.

as a sportsball enthusiast they're not wrong, except sometimes the kicker is australian instead

The consultancy class, if the Dems lose horribly, will see the problem as Dems not pushing rightward against trans rights enough. The election results do not have any impact what the consultancy class is going to advocate for; this is irrelevant

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

If they don't hold the current idiots accountable, they will lose in 2028. If they do hold the current idiots accountable, they will pick up the votes of all the people who currently don't vote because they don't have any hopes of the Dems doing anything.

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

possibly I was confusing this with the "spiders aren't bugs" argument, or the "daddy long legs aren't spiders" argument, but again, that's almost always not relevant to whatever discussion I'm having "I don't like bugs" "but spiders aren't bugs!" is not going to change my instinctual fear

000

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Thank you. This is the sort of thing that people get in arguments with me about and I'm like, "I don't care, it's the same category of relatively small thing with many legs that squicks my brain to think about"

Unfortunately my grandmother had worked a long career as a secretary and while she may have started with some standard shorthand I doubt there is anyone who could have read what she had by the time she was in her late 80s/early 90s

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Agree. Although I never took many notes anyway; most of it was in the book regardless. But my senior year of high school I took a typing class and, honestly, although I already knew how to touch type, just having the time reserved for *doing* it got me from 20 WPM to 100+ WPM in a year.

030

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I will never forget the tragedy of my grandmother realizing that her vision had got to where she couldn't read her own shorthand -- and of course nobody else could either

So, I can provide a datum that, as someone who is very not fond of spiders but has liked pictures of spidergirls in the past, these are very cute pictures of spidergirl. (are tarantulas spiders? close enough for the relevant part of my brain)

And now you see why so many americans don't use public transit -- insofar as it even exists

I've recently been playing a video game where you play as an otter and your first task is to find your favorite rock, then later in the game you can also find and carry other rocks, it's glorious. name of the game is "Otterly Lost"

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

you'd be surprised how oblivious normies can be

000

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

anyway is there a steam listing so I can wishlist it or...

000

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

when you say it was an ad in a magazine in 2001, and the game did not exist in 2001 or around that era, then we know at least that part is fake and we will assume the rest is too, because your post has already proven itself unreliable

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I'd consider it, except: 1. they probably don't have it in a men's 3XL or women's 5XL 2. someone might think I like the Texas Rangers

Paleontology update: Scientists have determined that dinosaurs were pretty fuckin' rad, actually

so yeah, that's in the tooltip for sneak. as always, when in doubt read the tooltips...

oh it might be "less than 10" lol

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

so, "sneak" only works on things up to, I think, 10 levels above you if that tonberry was lv50 and you're lv39 or below then yeah it can see you

I've heard it claimed he wanted to and his teams wouldn't let him

I would also bow from the waist if I met Ichiro... and my back didn't hurt too much for that to be possible

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

like I admit that I'm biased because I was never very athletic and right now have back pain from tasks like "sitting up straight" but even by professional baseball player standards this is really fucking impressive

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Wouldn't supprise me. Fucking MSPaint has AI bullshit now

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It's not *that* old, this is blatant clickbait

000

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

and also that he's doing this in his 50s like, yes, he's probably conditioned his arm for this. but the fact that he even *can* condition his arm for this IN HIS 50S is impressive

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

My point is more that pitching torques specific muscles in the elbow that most position players are not used to throwing a baseball that many times a day

200

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

It's also important to note that he *isn't a pitcher*. I doubt most *active* position players could throw that many pitches without their arm exploding, let alone get a shutout.

I just want a comedy edit of this scene where "Surely you can tell who we are" is said while staring directly into the camera

000

socrates nuts @socratesnuts.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

this is a thing in a lot of RPGs. In pokemon if multiple pokemon participate in a fight they split the XP. In Final Fantasy 1, not sure about other FFs, XP is split between all characters alive at the end of the fight. There's actually speedrun strats that kill off 3/4 party members.
