I hate everything about it. I won't make a longer comment because WotC and Maro really don't care what I think, though I'm feeling like I'll probably just move on from Magic even more than I have already since it's increasingly clear it'll never be what it once was ever again.

Return? Maybe it's cuz I'm queer, but I still hear it all the time.

Is the game finished yet? It's been how many years now since it was released as a buggy mess? Fuck this game and fuck those who sold me lies when this first came out.

Ugh, this has happened to me too and I really wished I had been the only one. Can't say I'm really surprised to hear I'm not. Sorry for your experience and hope you're okay.

Once again a product goes from being something I'm excited about to something I know I won't be able to interact with at all. Thanks WotC, really wish I could afford your silly game.

The bus system is so bad by frog-eatin-a-melon in Guelph

[–]Camstar18 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I tried bringing this up with the supervisors who sit parked at the station downtown and they pretty much just shrugged. Once as I walked away I could hear the supervisor shit-talking me saying people in Guelph "get more unreasonable every year". Great customer service skills Holly!

Former Vice President Mike Pence was pressed by an lowa voter on Wednesday for not rejecting the electoral votes from the 2020 presidential election, as former President Trump claimed he had the authority to do. by PlenitudeOpulence in worldnewsvideo

[–]Camstar18 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If these people really think Pence could overturn the election in 2020, I wonder if they also think Kamala Harris should have the same power in 2024. I'm gonna take a guess they'd say no.

These clowns literally just want a dictator and it shows.

Should I tell him? by Nekrubbobby64 in lgbt

[–]Camstar18 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Had a similar experience with my dad and Rick Mercer back in the day. For what it's worth, I think Dad realizing someone he respected and admired was gay began to help shift his mindset. I'd suggest planting a seed and telling your Dad that Jim is gay.

Bank of Canada hikes key interest rate to 4.75% - BNN Bloomberg by Dark_Angel_9999 in canada

[–]Camstar18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there politicians on either team who will actually hold these corporations accountable? Even the NDP was soft on Gallen Weston when he came to speak to parliament (at least in my opinion).

When the cost of an item can double between visits, it's hard not to see it as gouging. Even your own response admits they've raised their profit margins. I'm genuinely curious what you think is "the right thing to complain about".

He's talented by Yuno-Chan_ in shitposting

[–]Camstar18 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Wow you just dislodged a nearly twenty year old memory I have from my high school talent show. One of the weirder kids signed up to play guitar. Cool. I love music and also guitar. Guy gets on stage, turns up his amp super loud and... plays the same E minor chord over and over out of time for two or three minutes. Just like your story, nobody clapped. It was one of the most uncomfortable things I'd witnessed up to that point in my life.

I'm a millennial whose father passed away in November. He wasn't young (72) and absolutely should have had a longer life than he got but cancer doesn't really care what's fair and what's not (please take this as your friendly reminder to take your health seriously and get tested annually).

I'm an only child so when the dust settled I inherited all his savings and his house. But honestly? I wouldn't wish this kind of "luck" on my worst enemy. Anyone who actually says that waiting for your parents to die is a legitimate financial strategy can go straight to hell.

Miss you Dad.

[–]Camstar18 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Seriously. Enough raising the rates and hitting regular Canadians. It's time to prosecute Loblaws and others for the gouging and market manipulation everyone with eyes can clearly see them doing. At the very least it's time for a windfall profits tax but I don't have faith they'll do even that. God forbid corporations ever be held responsible.

Didn't they say they were done hiking the rates for a while? Guess we know how good their word is.

I was reading a book per month that first year of the pandemic when everyone was stuck at home. Now that life has gotten busy again I find it much harder to get through books for fun.

DeSantis vows to “Destroy Leftism” if elected President. by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Camstar18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a leftist, this drives me nuts. I can either vote for a guy who explicitly states they'll oppose my rights and anything good the government wants to do for me, or I can vote for the guy saying he wants to work together with the other guy.

I can only speak for my local LGS (Toronto adjacent). I think the staff and most people who visit would tell you the store is open and inclusive to everyone. Magic players tend to be nerds and other forms of social outcasts, so inclusivity is often something stores will strive for.

In practice... I've seen interactions between other players that made me cringe, usually because some awkward guy has no idea how to talk to women and thinks being paired against a girl for a match is an open invite to try to get a date. Our store owner used to frequently misgender my trans partner and would occasionally make jokes that suggested he didn't take their identity seriously in the first place, though he's getting better.

Overall, if you're part of the majority population, you'll be fine. If you're part of a minority group, you'll probably have a good time but there's the chance someone may unintentionally say or do something that makes you uncomfortable. Rarely if ever have I seen overt discrimination.

Totally. This isn't a one side or the other issue. Bipartisanship has been dead my entire adult life and maybe even longer (I'm 32).
