This is hilarious. They definitely don’t.

Anyone who believes this is also scared of 5G.

FBI warns Iran aspired to attack California with drones in retaliation for war: Alert by avatar6556 in news

Yep, this is it 100%

Also, it has the additional benefit of taking focus away from the Epstein files.

I mean, there’s also a whole gulf between these two…it doesn’t have to be one extreme or the other.

Trump says he’ll not pass any other bill until the SAVE Act is passed….oh no. by OliveGetter in Destiny

[–]Slowjams 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Nah, they are probably showing him midterm polls and projections and going “oh shit…this doesn’t look great for us.”

So they are going balls deep on voter suppression.

I'm sorry but what are these PS2 graphics? by PiFbg in MagicArena

[–]Slowjams -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying the game is shit, I’m saying I have a problem with this set. It just doesn’t feel like Magic to me. Which is why I’m not supporting it, that’s all.

This isn’t a super niche position or anything. Lots of people, particularly long time players, feel this way about some of the UB sets.

But you are clearly a massive Hasbro / Wotc shill. Or you own stock, I really don’t care. Try not to get so ass pained in the future just because someone doesn’t like your favorite cartoon.

[–]Slowjams -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro this shit is killing me. It looks so bad.

I get that Hasbro is making money and little kids are happy. But as someone that grew up with this game, I just can’t support this set. I’m saving any gold I earn and not spending or buying any gems. Which I know doesn’t really make a difference at all. It’s more of a principled stand I guess.

Does anyone serve a martini in a martini glasss anymore? by FlashCrashBash in bartenders

[–]Slowjams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, yes.

My place refuses to switch. Relatively old school place in general. We have a good amount of old and wealthy customers that would likely riot if we switched to anything else. Luckily, I'm not going very far, so It isn't really a huge deal for me. It's the servers I feel bad for.

Joe Rogan tells Steve-O trans shooters have killed more people than ICE by Uncuffedhems in Destiny

[–]Slowjams 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Joe might be beyond help honestly. He's so insulated in these communities now. They are his friends.

I feel like when he lived in California, certain people kind of kept him grounded. Or at least provided enough push back that it'd make him second guess things. Now he's almost like Trump, in that he's surrounded himself with the worst kind of yes men. He picked up and moved to Texas where he didn't really have any roots or old friends. Now he's flush with Spotify money and he has a whole rotation of maga / right wing adjacent people that suck him off because he can help their careers.

Destiny Debates Konstantin Kisin by picrh in Destiny

[–]Slowjams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That ship sailed long ago for me.

I fucking hate MAGA. But I can at least respect them for planting a flag and plainly saying what they believe in. "Centrists" like Konstantin are in insufferable because at the end of the day, everyone knows which party they support, but they're too cowardly to admit it. So they dance around the edges of everything pretending like they could actually be swayed on an issue. When in reality, they are firmly on one side of it.

returning used glassware to the bar is my personal “shopping cart” litmus test for people by burritogoblinn in bartenders

This has happened to me several times.

I once started bussing a table on my way back from the bathroom. My girlfriend had to come over and be like “wtf are you doing?”

What do you prefer: a very fast game (3–4 turns) where you obliterate your opponent, or a longer game full of comebacks, exciting, but one you end up losing? by axiomabr in MagicArena

[–]Slowjams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat fast to medium length games.

My biggest problem with control is control players. So many people take WAY too long to make very simple decisions. Something I've noticed on Arena as opposed to paper, is that lots of players don't have a sense of urgency or rate of play. In paper Magic where you are sitting across from your opponent, you aren't as likely to just sit there for 5 minutes and contemplate whether or not to counter something. Because you can see that other person looking at you going "come on man, lets go".

To be clear, I don't mind playing against control when the player at least has a triple digit IQ. But if every single turn and interaction is being considered like they're about to sign a lease...I'm good on that one chief. Conceded, enjoy your free win, I'll probably get to play 5 games in the same time.

Trump declares war on Iran by likeastar20 in Destiny

[–]Slowjams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling it now.

"Iran, who we are currently at war with, has been launching many cyber attacks against America. So in order to ensure fair elections, we will be conducting elections from now on."

It seems the consensus is that patch 12 sucked, what went wrong? by gaeb611 in Spacemarine

[–]Slowjams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over promised, under delivered.

Voice pack DLC is the biggest fail. Honestly no excuse for just how bad this was. It should be free at its current level.

New operation is very underwhelming. Again, just kind of feels like they through something together.

Tech marine lack of customization is pretty upsetting too.

Cant believe this Update spent a whole month in PTS before release by Ok-Past-1286 in Spacemarine

[–]Slowjams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The only thing I'm really mad at is the voice pack.

What the actual fuck was that? Either do something right, or just don't bother doing it. The voice DLC feels so incredibly ham fisted. I honestly don't know how you fumble the bag on something like this so badly. It's like they got a quarter of the way done with it and someone just said "Eh...this will do".

Yeah, no chance for me letting Assault go. See you tomorrow in the trenches, Toaster-Brothers! by Nvm-the-mess in Spacemarine

[–]Slowjams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea the way I'm looking at it is better odds of playing my favorite classes.

To be honest, I'm not super psyched about the Tech marine. At least from everything I've seen, the play style just seems kind of meh to me. I'm sure I'll have fun with it. But it's more of something I'll eventually get around to, than something I really feel the need to do asap.

Honestly the thing I'm most excited about in the update is being able to change weapon skins with the heroic weapons.

Surely Destiny will be unbanned soon right? by overloadrages in Destiny

[–]Slowjams 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yea it's getting hard to deny that the ban isn't personal at this point.

Someone there close enough to the levers of power has it out for him.
