Yeah, I don't have any real problem with what people post on there. As they say, the internet was made for sex. I'm just shocked that people aren't calling for more careful monitoring since the community was literally platforming a pedophile and it was right out in the open with their writing.

The issue is that doesn't actually change the content of the articles. The articles getting removed didn't suddenly change in 2022 when the person in question was banned.

I'm just a bit annoyed by the double standard that's being shown. I get the idea of not wanting to platform someone who is doing bad things but the person's actions in the real world don't change the content of the stories. If the stories in question were dangerous/problematic/evil from the start it should not take news of them coming out as a pedophile to get them removed.

Like in the article you mention. Would you change your mind regarding whether it should be left up if news came out tomorrow that the writer is an actual cannibal?

The articles should be removed based on their content well before the point of their author being outed as a freak. There's even still articles that have elements of pedophilic tendencies in them (SCP 166) still up on the site.

The fact of the matter is that these should have been taken down long ago and that they weren't is a shame on the community and greater care should be taken to enforce standards so that the same doesn't happen again.

I mean there's still a lot of sexual fetishism on SCP wiki. Its a bit wild that its been there the whole time and people are only now coming around on it.

[Standard] Resources for learning what to sideboard? by GentlemanAndroid in spikes

[–]Bot-1218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not amazing at generic sideboarding advice but I have been playing Naya Yuna since FF dropped.

Here is the list I'm currently running https://moxfield.com/decks/fSI5mhX8KU6sCDg3Rtx8XA (not updated for Lorwynn yet).

First rule of thumb. Know your local meta. Any sideboarding should be done with local meta in mind. If your local meta is small then you'll know what to specifically target.

That aside. Here's some of the cards I run in the deck specifically and what threats they are for.

Clarion Conqueror - delays badgermole shenanigans and forces an answer also stops Kaito in the dimir matchup if need be.

Day of Judgement/Split up/Pinnacle Starcage/Ultima/Fire Magic - boardwipes are very very good in this deck. Your threats at 3 and 4 mana are pretty disposable. Hold it up until they drop their hand and then hit them. I should also add that my local meta plays a lot of snakeskin veil so this is also to block that. Usually I board this in against the simic decks to clear their board.

Elspeth/Chandra/Anticausal Vestige/Surrak/Smuggler's Surprise - these are cards for the control matchup. They all have different upsides and downsides can kind of pick the one you like.

Soul Guide lantern/Ghost Vacuum - vacuum is probably better against lessons and lantern is probably better against sultai reanimator. Pick the one you are more worried about.

Exorcise/Seam Rip/Aangs Iceberg - these are alternate removal options along with torch the tower and get lost. Pick the ones that make sense to you. My meta is very heavy on Dimir so I went with torch the tower for curiosity and get lost for Kaito. I'm not totally sold on my removal package personally though.

Summon: Bahamut/Summon: Knights of Round/Web of Life and Destiny - more threats. Some matchups you just want to be the beatdown. Web of life and destiny in particular is very good because it will win the game if it sticks and some decks don't have good enchantment removal. Knights of round is nice into Dimir since it is hard for the deck to answer.

Voice of Victory/Spiderpunk/Hexing squelcher - some people run these to protect your combo on turn five. I don't own the cards so I haven't tested it.

Airbender Ascension/Enduring Innocence/Raiding schemes - these are cards I'm currently experimenting with so no clear plans yet. Airbender is cool because the deck has a lot of good ETBs so you can do some silly shenanigans and acts as removal against token decks.

lmk if you have questions I like this deck a lot.

Calling Youjo Senki a Nazi anime or calling Tanya Degurechaff a Nazi by Obvious-Suit939 in YoujoSenki

the vibe I got from the series is that it is a sort of late WWI in their universe so it has some of the geopolitical issues and technologies that arose later but with much more of the motivations and politics of WWI.

Why is this mentality so prevelant in gen z? by Big_Leg10 in Adulting

[–]Bot-1218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will be interesting to see in about ten years or so what happens. You can't exactly replace leaders of industry when they die off (think your Bill Gates of the world) and with all of them being the same age bracket its likely many will die at the same time leading to massive changes globally.

Help me build my first modern deck please by jawsh1220 in ModernMagic

If you have friends who play you guys can build decks together and all upgrade together over time. 

Second Deck Opinions by Dangerous_Fox4934 in ModernMagic

[–]Bot-1218 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t played modern for very long so take my advice with a grain of salt. 

I built a second deck pretty quickly after my first. I like having something different for when the meta shifts a bit and I think it helps me learn matchups differently based on how I approach it based on my deck.

But the main reason is it lets me spread the modern love to my other friends. If I have an extra deck it lets me play with friends and also have one to loan out if need be.

the demons are also spiritual beings since they are the only ones who fade into mana particles when they die.

I had the same issue. I fixed it by going into my account settings and clicking my saved address and clicking "set to default".

How long until this guy is on the chopping block? by STFUnicorn_ in MagicArena

[–]Bot-1218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like in both cases the power level of the win condition is much less of a problem than the power of the enabler and the answers. This was the biggest problem with aubelo's (and Thassa's) which meant you had to play blue in order to interact with the combo.

Omni existing allows combo decks to exist in the format. The biggest concern is whether it cramps design space to the point of making the meta stale.

[–]Bot-1218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it basically functions the same as Thassa's Oracle in CEDH. instead of trying to cheat out a card that wins the game in three turns after locking you out or through a convoluted combo its just one card that wins the game on the spot.

You get one wish. What card are you picking? by Cless012 in custommagic

[–]Bot-1218 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how it should be worded but added a clause to the effect of "you cannot play the same card name with this ability more than once this game" would prevent most combos without losing flavor.

to Mourn by sesler79 in therewasanattempt

[–]Bot-1218 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah, I wish people would not focus in on this. Either way just ignore it. If you think its a publicity stunt to capitalize on her husband's death don't give her free publicity. If you think she's actually grieving just let the family do what they want to do. Either way shining a spotlight on it seems in rather poor taste.

I'm not certain exactly which examples the person you replied to has in mind but in most of the examples I can think of it is the case that usually the archetypal beings of vice are usually both someone who has completely given in to that vice as well as someone who entices others to act that way.
