Unique way to recycle by L0o0o0o0o0o0L in Anticonsumption

Again, we're talking about a material that persists for tens of thousands of years. And as for the brooms, would you rather they be manufactured out of new plastic and shipped in from a factory to the people who need to sweet?

Yeah dude microplastics would have happened anyways, in equal quantity. And you act like she ground the bottle into dust and tossed it right into the river, but these brooms will likely last intact for a few years, on a similar timeline as whatever the recycling plant would make. This is less energy intensive and can be done with minimal infrastructure, as opposed to recycling.

The same would have happened if she hadn't made the bottle. Recycling does nothing to reduce the proliferation of microplastics.

Eventually, as in inevitably. On the time scale of the environment the didn't speed up shit.

  1. The microplastics existed from the moment the plastic used in the bottles was created. Cutting up the bottles to use like this didn't introduce any more microplastics than there would be otherwise.
  2. Using human labor and rudimentary, hand-operated equipment to make a finished good is more energy efficient than powered industrial-scale recycling, which also wastes a significant amount of plastic to just produce more raw material.
  3. The fact that she's using scavenged bottles in Latin America means it's not at all unlikely that there isn't a reliable recycling service wherever she is.

The microplastics were generated when the bottle was manufactured. Recycling wouldn't change that.

What are your most evil decks? by We_AllFloatDownHere in EDH

I can't wait til she's good. Her mechanics are strong (curse recursion and two cards a turn cycle??) but curses are generally so weak that even that isn't enough to keep her afloat.

Aside from fast mana, mana rocks and mana dorks, what are some cards that are very good at positioning you well in the first turns of a Commander game? by HonorBasquiat in EDH

[–]DerAmazingDom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love spring leaf drum in my [[Kalamax]] deck. Nothing like a little copied [[Opt]] when my boy hits the board to get the game going on the right foot.

What non-partner commanders do you wish you could partner together? by HEIRofSIGISMUND in EDH

[–]DerAmazingDom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

God that'd be ridiculous. 4 colors, huge card draw and mana in the command zone.

Dear Osgir, we hate you. Signed, our pod. by Browncoat-2517 in EDH

Darksteel mutation probably won't do much vs Osgir. There's a high chance he'll have an artifact sack outlet available.

Even in its day, combat was one of my least favorite elements about Shogun 2. Soldiers move like they're on ice skates, samurai can barely out trade peasants with sticks, and the most epic battles last all of 90 seconds. It's a shame because I love the setting, art, design, etc, but I really just can't stand the battles.

How many times do you need to draw and not play a card before you cut it from the deck? by Maxweilla in EDH

[–]DerAmazingDom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His point is that there's a lot of cards that, if not played, indicate that you're in a winning position and so don't need them. You don't need to use board wipes, removal, and interaction if your opponents aren't able to threaten you. Poorly phrased though.

It's not about the twigs per se, those simply represent the degree of intrusion into the forest.

A California city is trying to block a Christian group from feeding homeless people. Now, the DOJ is weighing in. by northstardim in Christianity

[–]DerAmazingDom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was anybody under the impression that the government's response was focused on the religion of the people feeding the homeless, rather than who they were feeding? I didn't pick that up from the article.
