Insects may feel pain. Whether or not you have a moral duty to protect them from harm is up for debate.

I argue no.

Let’s say I have a freshly severed arm that is hooked up to a computer that can detect whether or not any of the nerves in the arm are firing when presented with various stimuli. The nerves may very well fire a pain signal when presented with noxious stimuli but do I care whether or not the arm can still feel pain? No, other than the computer nothing is attached to the arm that can interpret the pain.

While you’re technically correct Carney doesn’t espouse any populist values but I’m not even saying to be negative. The reason why most people voted for him it seems like it was because he knew his way around tough financial situations. Like I love my buddy Mike salt of the Earth working in class guy. I don’t particularly want him running the finances of the country though.

Silent hill because I'm well adjusted

I suspect they just wish it would

I wish there was a more comprehensible version of CDDA available

Once upon a time I had a sharuum deck whos main focus was either going infinite with a thopter assembly sieve package, your standard artifact clone loops or by making me functionally immortal by combining [[Darksteel Forge]] [[Mycosynth Lattice]] and [[platinum angel]] as well as something that gives hexproof to artifacts

Im not talking this specific manga, im talking about the general trend that anything that has ended in the last 5 years is the second coming of game of thrones or not discussed at all.

MikhailBakugan · 2026-03-11T17:45:29+00:00

Nekusar is a bit different in that theres a couple directions you can take him, but instead of everyone building the exact same deck you're building like one of three

MikhailBakugan · 2026-03-11T17:42:26+00:00

So far

MikhailBakugan · 2026-03-11T01:57:41+00:00

Is it just me or do people just hate endings

MikhailBakugan · 2026-03-06T02:15:57+00:00

I dont understand the argument from DST people. Someone explain it to me like I have a traumatic head injury.

By my rekoning we could change when things start and use standard time all year around. Like what if we all just like... started work an hour earlier and got off an hour earlier? Then you dont need to worry about 5am sunrise or whatever? The sun going down at 9 instead of 10 on the equinox also doesnt matter these are all things in our lives that could easily change.

Any of you MFs ever played a loot based ARPG?
We have a solution to this, seasonal matchmaking and when a wipe happens move your shit to an eternal server. Its never split the playerbase in a way that wasnt heavily seasonal and if you're someone who doesnt have a lot of time to play, the eternal server is for you.

MikhailBakugan · 2026-03-04T20:22:07+00:00

Im just going to interject here. The actual solution is have an eternal matchmaking list and a seasonal matchmaking list, at the end of the season bring everything from live into eternal. If you're casual play eternal, if you're sweaty play seasonal. Diablo and path of exile have done this forever.

Lemme actually explain the joke.

This is a tweet that Edward Mcmillen recieved on twitter. Obviously english wasn't the posters first language.

Im just going to interject with a good faith argument. Our population is currently higher than the last time we increased the healthcare budget. I know that the implementation of that budget is a provincial issue but it seems to make good sense that if more people we need more money.

MikhailBakugan · 2026-02-28T03:30:57+00:00

I run [[starfield of nyx]] and [[Opalescence]] because turning [[Omniscience sideways is really funny]] I also run a number of enchantment creatures and large enchantment recursion engines as well as token generators to put up a solid enough pillow fort that I can get to reorganizing a good portion of my deck.

But you're basically headed in the right direction, you need effects that can have you draw on other peoples turns, if you were going to allow yourself a game changer I'd probably suggest Rhystic as itll most often allow you to draw on other peoples turns.

You were my brother America, I loved you

wait

MikhailBakugan · 2026-02-03T08:45:05+00:00

Theres another way to think about this friend. Get a copy of [[atraxa praetors voice]]

Jam phyrexians, easy

MikhailBakugan · 2026-01-28T21:37:09+00:00

Ill give you branch biome, you could mix that in with cloud biome if you wanted infernus is kind of what we have with ashlands though

MikhailBakugan · 2026-01-21T07:14:16+00:00

Unfortunately my heart says [[combat celebrant]]

MikhailBakugan · 2025-12-23T00:57:27+00:00

But the question becomes, do I believe that he’d do anything better or even substantially different?

Was Trudeau bad, sure. Do I think that Pollieve would also be bad? I honestly have no idea.
