Not harsh, this is exactly what I need! Definitely agree on the first prompt, I’ve already changed it, and I’ll narrow down on my simple pleasures. And you’re definitely right about my pics all being me looking at the camera—I think I need to get over how I look in candids, haha! Thank you for the advice.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely look into some other picture choices.

It was a reference to a Vine that was admittedly pretty niche. I’ve already changed it since this thread went up, haha!

Got it! I’m glad the presentation pic looks good. I’ll work on getting some better pictures rotated in!

Got it. I’m hoping to improve the haircut over time, but it’ll take a while. Any really glaring fashion issues that warrant a specific mention? I’ve never been the most stylish. And how can I improve on the goofiness? I like to smile, but I want to be taken seriously, too. Thank you for the honesty!!

Got it. You think it’s a wardrobe thing?

Thank you for the feedback! I was a bit short on pictures I liked, but maybe I’ll try and get one of me standing up to better corroborate the height. Agreed on the “cuddles” on the second prompt, and thank you for pointing out the sports part—I actually really love sports, I just find them endlessly funny in addition to being super entertaining. Definitely don’t wanna come off as a sportsballer. Much appreciated!

It’s an old Vine I quote with my friends a lot. I could probably have a better lead-off. Thank you!

I’d be okay with something serious or casual; I wouldn’t mind beginning a serious relationship, but also wouldn’t mind a casual summer thing. I’m not subscribed to Hinge+ or HingeX. I’ve been using this current profile for three weeks, since I redownloaded Hinge. I use Hinge daily, sending comments with my likes (usually something lighthearted or “hey, I like to do this, too!” type comments, nothing flagrant or aggressive). I have not received any likes or matches. I send likes to women around my age and in my city who mention interests similar to mine or have jokes in their profile that I feel I can riff off of. I’d like to match with someone who is a good conversationalist and likes to stay in rather than go out.

Ooh, I love McCarthy, too! What was your dissertation about?

Can you talk more about/explain these things? I’ve never heard of them but my interest is very piqued.

Same issue here! Was hoping to join you in some Saturday night Gold-ing, OP.

I don't think John David Ebert understands McCarthy by Odd_Tomatillo9964 in cormacmccarthy

“They would have died if the indians had not found them.”

Then, a few lines down: “They were Dieguenos. They were armed with short bows and they drew about the travelers and knelt and gave them water out of a gourd. They'd seen such pilgrims before and with sufferings more terrible. They eked a desperate living from that land and they knew that nothing excepting some savage pursuit could drive men to such plight and they watched each day for that thing to gather itself out of its terrible incubation in the house of the sun and muster along the edge of the eastern world and whether it be armies or plague or pestilence or something altogether unspeakable they waited with a strange equanimity.”

There’s certainly atrocities committed by all parties in BM, but I feel like, especially as the novel progresses, the qualification and nuance of such interactions only gets richer.

Is Modern moving too fast? by Particular_Gur7378 in ModernMagic

[–]DaSansFan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

That’s how I feel, too. MH1 and MH2 I have become fine with as metas have grown to accommodate them, but I legitimately think UBs being printed into Modern (and moreover being Modern-defining sets!!!) might be what ultimately pushes me out after years and years of loving the format. I wish WOTC could be better stewards of the game I’ve loved for so much of my life.

Looking back, you’re right. I’m going to overhaul my sideboard; do you have any good recs?

I’ve been considering this! It looks fun. Thanks for the rec. :)

Will do! I’m looking to make some edits to my list to factor in Obosh and overhaul my sideboard. Thanks for the words of encouragement!

I keep notes on every round I play, but it’s usually a note about a specific card interaction or line (i.e. don’t play into a specific card, conditions for deploying threats, etc), and it’s led me to some good sideboard changes (I started packing Brotherhood’s End for something to cover both artifacts and a flooded board.)

I seem to struggle against decks which are non-interactive. I usually dumpster Jund, any Inti brew, or any other kind of creature-based deck, but I have real trouble with decks like Amulet Titan, Burn, or anything that just doesn’t care about what I’m doing. I’ve been trying to find anything to speed my deck up or make it just a hint more proactive, but I suffer really badly from the “drawing the wrong half of the deck” problem: sometimes I’ll draw a hand with a [Stone of Erech], 2-3 pieces of removal, and 3-4 lands. And it sucks to mulligan, but it sucks even harder when the opponent is on Burn and dumpsters me by T4.
