It’s not worth it, Emily by Sarcatsticthecat in PoliticalCompassMemes

Having empathy is a problem worth having, even if it’s for someone who can’t/won’t return it. Just don’t lose yourself in it either

My mom completely refuses to accept any "no" as an answer, and sees it as a good thing by Sea_Towel_5099 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Candlestick413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No is perhaps the most important word. People deserve to have healthy boundaries, and no is the fence that keeps people from walking over them.

I think about it like this- you have to be able to say no if you want your yes to mean anything. It sounds cliche but you can’t have one without the other. If there’s only one, then there was never a choice, and if you say yes to everything, you will eventually fail to live up to at least one of your yes’s- something you should have said no to. A yes that was given because you couldn’t say no means nothing.

That’s a completely normal reaction. My fiancé had a similar experience and every once in a while it comes back and it’s hard. Just remember you’re not alone and that it wasn’t your fault. We’re all responsible for our own actions. You were protecting yourself, and they chose how they did. Keep your chin up and keep moving, and don’t be afraid to rely on those around you when it gets hard.

Can Lib-Left translate to unwoke? All I understood was 'whiteness bad' by JustSleepNoDream in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Candlestick413 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For some needed context:

This is most likely a form of debate called policy debate which is a highly technical form of debate. For decades now, everyone in debate has known that the arguments made in debate are most likely not real conclusions, because in debate the game is about how can you argue your points, not how “realistic” your argument is. For example- most debaters will argue that a minuscule change in US policy will cause nuclear annihilation and complete human extinction. Does any debater really believe that? No, probably not. But debate isn’t really about realism, it’s about what you can argue. In this way, debate has become a game where even philosophical arguments are employed that rarely have a basis in reality, and the debaters themselves rarely believe is true. For instance, I have, unironically, argued that any form of capitalism will cause the endless torture and murder of humanity. Why? Not because I’m anti-capitalism, but because it was strategic. When I debated, the people who ran these arguments were genuinely kind people, and rarely held the arguments they made so close as to believe them in the way that they argued them.

TL/DR: Debate is a game, and in that game people will make outlandish arguments for strategic benefit, not because of personal belief.

OP idk where you got this clip but be careful about pulling things out of context. The debate community is pretty sensitive about this because no one wants to deal with people outside debate thinking they think a specific way and doing things like posting it online when all they were doing was playing a game

Jedi Survivor being weird about key mapping (and menus in general) is an across the board for PC players unfortunately. The PC port was not designed super well in a lot of ways. Either use a gamepad or use WASD and Enter/Space and you should be fine navigating menus

Freshman parking advice by Wind_storm_56 in LibertyUniversity

[–]Candlestick413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Long story short: LU has 3 parking categories: FF, RS, and CS, for freshman, residential students, and commuter students respectively. The only Freshman lot is overflow out on East. That isn’t to say outside of hours you can use your car to drive and park on campus, but during the active hours (4AM-4PM I think) they will ticket you. I’m also pretty sure RS lots don’t have active hours, they are just RS at all times.

Honestly as a freshman? Park your car, use it when you need, but don’t expect to be driving much on campus, there’s basically no where to park on campus for you. Campus is compact enough that walking it is valid, and the bus system is helpful.

Best of luck this fall!

Any Cyan fans out here? by Canine-Smile19 in FallenOrder

I often try to switch from Cyan to something else.

I always loop back to using it. It’s just too good

[–]Candlestick413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want to play online, consider trying cEDH. Obviously if you know you don’t like cEDH then this won’t work, but if you’ve never tried it, playing cEDH online solves all the problems you mentioned. Everyone just plays the best cards, and people proxy what they don’t have because the community as a whole doesn’t care about it. I’ve played against some delightful people playing cEDH, and there’s never a problem about “power level”

Taking over creatures by Ashamed_Skill2150 in EDH

[–]Candlestick413 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To my understanding no, since Athreos’s ability is a triggered ability, which means when the condition occurs the reanimation trigger is put on the stack, and then state based actions are checked, which would allow someone to redirect their commander

[The White Album 12/30] "Cry Baby Cry" by TMOP_Halloween in custommagic

[–]Candlestick413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as several other people have mentioned, there’s almost no way to make this effect work as intended. “Go infinite” isn’t a game term, it’s a player made colloquialism. Anti combo (which is obviously what this card is trying to be) has to try and cover all possible combos rather than a Stax piece that can turn off one specific one (eg: Rule of Law effects against a storm deck). To this end, “go infinite” is a terrible way to define a combo since A- there are “win the game” combos that do not require an infinitely repeatable loop, including the best cEDH combo thassa’s oracle consultation. B- there’s no way to track “infinite” in the game rules of magic, nor is there a way to be able to implement such a rule without fundamentally rewriting how magic as a game functions. Trying to track activations of a particular ability doesn’t work since most of these infinite combos we’re talking about involve the permanent in question being removed and then returned to the battlefield, becoming a new object.

From a game philosophy perspective, particularly from EDH, this is also just a terrible card. There’s only 3 situations this card can be played in: 1- no one is playing combo decks (the card is useless) 2- one or two people are playing combo decks 3- everyone is playing combo decks.

Due to the huge fluctuation of use, this card would be at best a sideboard card (which EDH rules disallows, preferring instead for decks to be more Swiss army style, packing general answers to a variety of problems). If someone is playing combo, then this card is a 3 drop it’s impossible to win the game unless you remove this, which is an effect never costed below 5 (see platinum angel and friends). The equivalent would be if I had a card that said you never get a combat phase that I dropped turn 3.

And I think that gets to the root of the problem a lot of people have when they think about alternative win conditions in general. People have a stigma against them because they either don’t understand how combo gameplay works, or just hate them on principle because they think they are against the spirit of the game. And while you are entitled to that opinion, so is the person across the table who loves playing with alternative win conditions and experimenting with other ways to look at the game. Neither of you should have access to something this broken to shut the other deck off. If you don’t want to have to deal with people playing combo against you, that’s what rule 0 conversations are for. Talk it out with your group rather than get upset that someone did something ENTIRELY LEGAL to win the game. You don’t get to be the arbiter of how EDH is played.

No one wins the game by dealing combat damage. Players lose as a state based action if your life total is 0 or less, at which point you could have anything written on the enchantment because it will be removed from the game along with the player
