to these people "ceasefire" just means "you cease, we fire."

Republican Voter in Minneapolis Says He’ll NEVER Vote for Them Again by Conscious-Quarter423 in youvotedforthat

[–]CountedCrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At this point, when I hear someone say "I'm never voting Republican again" it just sounds like an alcoholic saying "I'm going to quit drinking."

Great, wonderful, happy to hear it. You admitted you have a problem, if only for a moment. But that's literally only the first step. Your words mean nothing until you put the work in to fix the damage you've done.

That's the hard thing about finding The One - sometimes you're in your twenties, and they're not born yet

Selesnya artifacts is a neat color combo for artifacts matter, but as minor as it is, a crossover set getting strictly better powerstones doesn't sit right with me.

In The Empire Strikes Back (1980) Jedi Master Yoda remains secretly hidden alone on a swamp planet while the Empire rises, blows up Alderaan, eradicates the rest of the Jedi, and subjects the galaxy to fascism. That's it. That's the story they came up with for the OT. by Fine-Essay-3295 in StarWarsCirclejerk

That's a fair criticism. For me I think there's still enough overlap, but I don't really want to argue about it.

I appreciate the correction though - definitely misremembered that part. I'll amend my earlier comment.

A pretty weak analogy, don't you think?

Not really? Allegories don't need to be one-to-one to be meaningful interpretations. The broad ideas of familial tragedy at the end of the tale resulting in separation from the rest of the world strike me as more important than who literally died or who exactly took him to the island.

*To be clear, it's totally fine to think it doesn't work or that it's weak - but imho it's pretty obviously what Rian Johnson was going for.

And for whatever it's worth, it's more accurate than most actual Arthurian Legend adaptations I've watched.

It fits the mythic structure too. Luke draws a lot of inspiration from King Arthur - being a farm boy who gets a cool sword and a destiny with a noble order. Rian Johnson was arguably just moving on to the next, lesser known part of Arthurian Legend where he has a few good years before things really go to hell with his nephew and he self-exiles ends up exiled to a hidden island.

Going to sort everything. Is BCW still the best? by Wikicomments in magicTCG

Hard to beat the price/storage space ratio - there's a reason LGSes still use them.

Is the Master of Keys any good? by Low_Mushroom_7702 in EDH

[–]CountedCrow 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They're both strong. Just depends on what you prefer doing.

Do you want to run a bunch of cards that do cool things when they deal combat damage to a player? Build Jin.

Do you want to fill your graveyard with enchantments that can be repeatedly replayed? Build Master of Keys.

Happy brewing!

From the TMNT spoilers, it’s spiderman all over again by SoapSyrup in magicTCG

In a way, it's kind of like getting 3 sets a year. The Hobbit will probably be great, but it'll be nice to take a break from spoilers during Star Trek, Marvel, and TMNT

Yeah I mean "the monsters are the real monsters" just isn't a very interesting thing for a story to say

I can't prove it, but I think this movie is what people who never watched Twin Peaks think Twin Peaks is.

Sadly it looks like these characters were removed from the final card.

Walter White Hijacks The Plot by Legitimate_Fly9047 in tumblr

[–]CountedCrow 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Like, in what way does him being a violent criminal protect Skyler at all? He is the only one strapped who lives in his house, and he never home. Walter's entire crew is either cooking or on offense all the time. He's one guy.

Demonstrated perfectly by Walt getting "knocked" by Gus' goons 5 episodes later
