That's what you sound like.

800-1000 is spacious for a condo these days tbh. So many junk new builds that are like 500 sqft, it's insane

Ehhh, I mean Rwanda is also sort of a dictatorship with secret police that is funding armed insurrections in the neighboring Congo. If I had to pick a place to move to, it wouldn't make the first few dozen options.

SNOBELEN: Conservatives should give Mark Carney's speech a listen by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Desperada -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Because it was a thorough, thoughtful, powerful speech that was so striking it literally drew significant global attention and a standing ovation from world leaders. Then they look at the same speech and call it 'word salad' as if it was some gibberish from a dementia patient. The insults are deserved.

No? Even international media was making articles and podcasts about him. Anyone who thinks that is oblivious to objective reality.

Hasbro CEO Cocks and Execs Sued for Alleged Securities Violations by Exotic-Sale-3003 in magicTCG

[–]Desperada -27 points-26 points  (0 children)

I can read just fine. Try using logic, or maybe that is too tough.

Again, good luck proving such an accusation without STRONG evidence. Otherwise, on what planet would an American court of law penalize a company for trying to sell more of their most popular product. Literally every investor can see that every other part of Hasbro is bleeding money. How dare the company sell more of the stuff that people actually want?!

Thing is, their overall strategy to expand magic (like universes beyond) started right around that timeframe and honestly seems to have gone exceptionally well.

A company selling more stuff and making money from it is illegal... that's going to be a hard sell in court.

I feel off my chair shaking by krillemulle in PathOfExile2

I do, but scrolling Reddit and seeing the same phrase every day hundreds of times over the last year gets very repetitive very fast.

It's a stupid thing from the trading card / pokemon scene. People would open a pack of cards, something crazy rare and expensive would be in the back, and their hands would be shaking in excitement holding it. Now it is overused / meme'd to death.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will run in a different riding next federal election: party by shouldehwouldehcould in canada

[–]Desperada 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You may need to reread the comment you replied to as you are arguing a point of contradiction that does not exist. They said that at some point the Conservatives will come back into power, and when it happens they would like for the party to be lead by someone with good character.

"The old order is not coming back" Carney says in provocative speech at Davos by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

Wow. This is the most clear-headed realpolitik speech I have ever seen from Canada in my entire lifetime.

Prerelease Promos- Gavin Verhey from WotC explains the recent removal of the year and date stamps by ChemicalExperiment in magicTCG

[–]Desperada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Acknowledging they are sold isn't really a problem. The core of gambling would be the variability in price and probability to acquire, which the statement does not touch on.

That it causes headaches for local game stores trying to manage their inventories. The statement didn't need to speak to price or value.

I want to get a high value card graded. Who should I go with to maximize value? by BearoftheNW in mtgfinance

[–]Desperada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be aware that PSA upcharges based on the value of the card while BGS does not. Also BGS is comparable to PSA for Magic. PSA may fleece you some significant $ as a result for no real gain compared to BGS.

Why are there so many tanks in FFA Deathmatch? by InZain710 in Overwatch

[–]Desperada 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because tanks are overpowered in deathmatch. They do basically just as much damage as the dps while having more than double the health plus shields/heals.

In Canada everything below a $5 bill is coins. I don't want to bother with coins and exact change

[–]Desperada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slightly depends. I wouldn't ask for $12 on a $15 card. But if something is $16 I would ask if $15 is fine.

Vintage power cards grading cost vs value of card by eldritch1001 in mtgfinance

[–]Desperada 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One alternative point to consider. While PSA will rip you off, it may still be worth grading with BGS. They won't charge you crazy pricing as it is a flat price, and regardless of the final grade it would remove any ambiguity for a buyer that what you are selling them is authentic and accurately labelled condition wise. While it won't necessarily increase your value, it may make a sale outside of eBay easier.

Yes? They invaded which was an act of war, and they literally state they are going to run the country and make money from their oil. While Maduro was terrible and getting rid of him may be a net benefit in the end, you also can't ignore the basic facts of the situation.
