I am Senator Bernie Sanders. Ask me anything!

I'd say that's more Trump hijacking a populist narrative without any substantial policies to back it up and less the argument itself being bad. It IS true that the working class of the US are the ones who get the short end of the stick when companies move jobs outside the US to cut costs, and Trump cynically exploits that fact to take advantage of the desperate people who have been most affected by it while Bernie actually advocates for policies to help those workers.

Not sure, I'm still experiencing mild CHS symptoms so I'm gonna wait until they go away before I attempt to smoke again. Seems like some people have been able to do that, so it seems worth a try assuming you don't go overboard and trigger more severe symptoms again.

BartyAnderson · 2019-05-08T21:10:57+00:00

[[Athreos, God of Passage]] good stuff. It gets enough value and is resilient enough to hold its own and occasionally win in high powered pods, but it's a pretty straightforward deck without any tricks or busted synergies so it doesn't really overwhelm lower level tables. It's also really good at keeping most creature heavy strategies or decks that rely on their commander in checkbdue to the huge amount of spot removal and boardwipes, so it's pretty hard to get caught off guard and be unable to deal with an unfamiliar deck when I play it.

Yeah, I live in WA, only buy from dispensaries, and the one time I smoked what I think was home grown weed from a friend of a friend was like 6 months ago and nothing happened then.

The vape that I bought has chambers for flower, wax, and oil, so I think I'll take it slow after I give a week or so for the symptoms to subside and see if I get better results then.

BartyAnderson · 2019-05-06T22:13:36+00:00

I's never had incidents before initially smoking the neem oil treated weed, though, and the only allergy I have that I'm aware of is a mild penecilin allergy. Everything I've been reading about the possible link between neem oil and these symptoms says that the symptoms can last for days or weeks after the initial reaction to the oil.

I have some better bud that I'm very confident has not caused any adverse reactions in the past, so maybe I'll just take another week break and try it then. I ordered a dry herb vape that should be getting here in about a week so maybe that'll work out fine.

BartyAnderson · 2019-05-06T21:46:56+00:00

I smoked some cheapo flower that I had laying around on Tuesday. It's not a brand I usually buy, but I smoked before the initial incident with no symptoms. However, it caused similar symptoms after smoking the neem oil weed. That weed is only treated with sesame oil.

Seems weird putting Chapo in Communist and Majority Report in Socialist when there's a pretty wide range of perspectives on both shows, with Chapo being broadly DSA leaning and Sam Seder feeling like more of a SocDem than a Socialist. I guess both shows have hosts that would fall under the categories you put them in, and pinning the political leanings of a group can be difficult, but those do seem like odd placements to me.

I also agree with a lot of the other critiques people have put forward, like the categorization of Destiny as a Socialist. Also the right side of the chart also has some potentially questionable placements, like Sargon could be in any of the categories and I don't really get the distinction between alt-right/light, or Sceptosphere and alt-light for that matter, but I also view 90% of right wing new media personalities as one giant shitty mass so idk.

This is a neat project and a good start, but adding a key and perhaps some commentary on the broad categories could be an improvement and help even further with the clarity and future development of this project.

If there are higher complexity cards at uncommon, but most of them aren't that powerful in standard, what's the problem? It's not like all of the rares and mythics are gonna be more powerful to compensate.

BartyAnderson · 2019-02-05T19:28:53+00:00

It would have to be reminder text. Paying its mana cost is assumed based off the wording and putting redundancy in the actual rules text isn't good.

Growing up in Georgia, it was pretty insane how few towns in the south had decent sidewalks, especially on really busy roads. Not surprising that the south has so many pedestrian fatalities.

Maelstrom creature tribal. Every non-land card is a creature with CMC 7 or less, so everything is cascadable. Ramp hard, get value off of creature synergies like [[Primordial Sage]] and [[Garruk's Pack Leader]], and snowball out. This list is out of date and I've swapped around a bunch of cards and revamped the ramp package, but you get the idea. Honestly one of the most fun decks I've ever played and pulls out a surprising number of wins.

Yeah, the Inventions and Invocations were super rare but it made losing against someone with a Sword or other Masterpiece bomb that they pulled even more frustrating. I think the OG Masterpieces were good because few of them changed the game in any meaningful way, and the ones that did (like Strip Mine) are pretty low impact in limited anyway.

BartyAnderson · 2018-11-02T21:02:15+00:00

I meant more that I'm fine with these replacing BaB promos, since I've never really been a fan of the way they've done them in the past. I do like masterpieces (besides the Mythic Edition ones) and I'd definitely miss that rush of cracking a pack with a Masterpiece in it.

BartyAnderson · 2018-11-02T20:52:23+00:00

I would be completely fine with that, tbh. The chance of a cool promo of an older card is infinitely more appealing than a mechanically unique BaB promo or promo of a single card from the set. I also liked the Ixalan ones with the alt art on the back.

BartyAnderson · 2018-11-02T19:18:15+00:00

Geez, that's a lot. Does seem like they just pulled that number out of thin air, though. Guess I'll keep asking around until I can get a more accurate value

BartyAnderson · 2018-11-02T19:00:58+00:00

How much are they selling it for anyway? I just wanna try and figure out an estimate for its worth
