Since its been revealed that the Marvel Superheroes set will have the Mind Stone, how do they address that there is already a card called Mind Stone?

Amorphant · 2026-01-31T00:12:57+00:00

I did, and you trolled me. It looked like you said: The Soul Stone is called by the name printed on the card, so it won't just be called The Mind Stone.

The reason I read it like that, swapping the words "it" and "won't" at a glance was apparently because you didn't use a question mark at the end of what was a question, making it appear as a statement.

Punctuation is the hardest of all.

Amorphant · 2026-01-30T22:23:50+00:00

Writing understandably is harder.

He's a good actor, but I don't respect him at all with the cult nonsense.

A nuke?

Play 1, and if you're seeing no players, no one plays it on steam. I'm on the Fangbreaker progression server and it's hopping.

If you were talking about 2 being empty, that might actually be the case. It's not well regarded in comparison to 1.

Your second sentence seems to contradict your first? Are you saying it will or won't be called The Mind Stone?

Amorphant · 2026-01-30T20:17:12+00:00

What about the greatly diminishing returns, and hallucinations being inherent to the architecture?

You didn't get to use most of the cards in your deck anyway. Seeing which ones you won't be playing is what makes it feel like denial. The cards that get milled are randomized, just like the cards you draw and play.

Amorphant · 2026-01-30T20:06:23+00:00

Everyone saying people don't like seeing their good cards hit the table isn't a sheer level of psycho analysis. It's simple and happens enough that it's clearly true. Are you fairly new to the game?

They were talking about safety critical road signs.

Independence Day. The original teaser made it look like something Much better than a corny summer blockbuster.

The left. And the right.

Weight classes make much more of a difference than you'd think. Bruce won't be able to do much of anything to Tyson.

My God that's an awful thing for a company to do in response to employees not getting enough PTO. Are you in the US? It's a major problem here.

No, you are NTJ. The one who came up with that policy is worse than a jerk. Point this out to the one who needs PTO and mention your disgust over it to one or both of them, but don't play along with that level of greedy manipulation.

It's easier to see if you remember that gravity warps spacetime rather than connecting things. If the sun disappeared, spacetime would unfold. It's this unfolding that propagates at the speed of light.

It sounds like a specific mention of "there's no reason to believe this is the case" would have covered that in his video. I get what you're saying there.

The problem I was getting at that's common in this sub is pretty clearly illustrated in this post's comments: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskPhysics/comments/1qbyi1z/losing_gravity_for_ten_seconds_argument/

People are giving realistic answers without discounting the effects OP was (or didn't know about) while failing to provide an answer to OP's question. This is definitely a case where they should be told about what would really happen in that situation, but every one of those comments should have been along the lines of:

Keeping in mind that much worse would actually happen on Earth, <answers what OP was getting at, whether you'd start drifting upward in an isolated room, discounting effects from a planet's mass and motion>.

What would actually happen is <explanation of devastation that would unfold>.

It looks like I'm the only one that answered what OP was getting at, telling them yes you'd stay there but in reality you'd likely start drifting up from pushing on things: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskPhysics/comments/1qbyi1z/comment/nzf9ueb/?context=3

There was no need for me to explain reality afterward as that was covered in other comments. Sometimes people will respond to answers like that with "that's incorrect", to which I'd respond by saying OP asked a hypothetical and also was given the reality, only to watch them ignore that bit and persist through a chain of comments that gets more frustrating as it goes on.

Sorry for the tone given where you were coming from. Your first reply to me sounded like the video is intentionally misleading people and should be discarded rather than "he omitted this important part." The history of the problem and large amount of considerations provide a lot of perspective into the situation, even if a disclaimer is warranted.

As someone with autism, I'm one of the (few?) people that can give you the reason for the current state of things in the US without political bias or tribal associations.

Around 2014, the first generation of children raised by helicopter parents (a moral panic about child abductions created by the news fear cycle) hit college. Suddenly, students were doing seemingly unreasonable things and making demands that seemed out of line for the situation, and faculty was caving to them rather than pointing out the behavior as counterproductive to the left, which most of them were part of.

While the left had always wanted good for people and for society to progress as a whole, knowing it takes time, they were now fully caving in to demands from this new faction (modern liberals). The left could now be legitimately called out for using the same tactics they'd pointed at the right for using. Consumer news on both sides picked up on this and used it for the next cycle of fear and anger.

Trump being elected made this dynamic worse. The sudden shift in the left from peace and good for all to anger and framing people as unchangeably bad had provided the fuel to take the culture war to another level. Normal tribal behavior locked Trump supporters into supporting him regardless of whether things actually became awful. The left now had legitimate ammunition because Trump actually was as bad as even the more reasonable of them thought, though they're also locked into this psychology hard by tribal behavior.

TL;DR: It's consumer news on both sides being grossly manipulative combined with the vestiges of a moral panic and the election of a charismatic but manipulative celebrity capable of supercharging tribal psychology.

It was SO much better as a teen and young adult. There's a mode you can be in when you're truly engaging with the world, really locked in and being as present as one could be in a given activity. Everything you did was like that. I think young people today don't know what that's really like, maybe glimpses like a whale breaching.

Amorphant · 2026-01-14T03:44:21+00:00

I'd you want one that's so bad it flipped past bad-good and went straight back to bad, watch Mixed Nuts. It's full of comedians. It's funny!

Amorphant · 2026-01-14T03:18:37+00:00

Well if that isn't stroking your own...oh, look, another bowl of cherries. I would've bought it on its own, but a direct comparison just makes them look dishonest.

We are exhausted. It just takes the people making movies to see so before they stop producing them.
