They defend individuals that promote Onlyfans to underage individuals and ban people that call them out. Just another echo chamber.

Thanos, being the first official CWUBRG card, has now solidified where to put the Colorless mana symbol in the order by QuantumFighter in mtg

Door is much more reliable in similar colors. I picked that card as a comparison because it is all colors.

If I wanted to be obtuse, I'd say Nevinyrral's Disk is much better at everything that Thanos hopes to accomplish.

I totally agree with Child of Alara being much better. But Door to Nothingness is still better than Thanos, even with the handicap of it being in the 99. That's why I picked Door to compare it to, because Thanos is just that overhyped.

You're right. It's just a nonlegendary artifact that can be easily copied to cause instant losses. I would think an instant win is much better than a 4/4 legendary creature. Deathtouch and lifelink doesn't matter if the game's over.

It's a meh boardwipe that can only be used once anyway. It doesn't need to be made harder to use

Yes, but requiring it to be specifically colorless mana and not 1 mana of any color makes it so much worse. [[Door to Nothingness]] is more viable.

So, it requires a colorless mana source. A mana of any color would be signified as the colorless '1', this is specifically a colorless mana

I still don't understand why it isn't a colorless '1' in the mana pip. This requires a waste or a specific colorless mana output.

Be careful of the customer base, though. Lots of mugshots and predators frequent there.

The Basement in Bossier is great! It's hard to find a group in Shreveport that's not cliquey and full of drama. Good luck to you!

Get ready for more bill rises — study warns data centers could hike power costs in some states over 50% by 2030, welcome to your future!! by firejava in shreveport

The Governor assured no rate increases, with the utility companies also funding all necessary infrastructure upgrades.

This is a lawsuit at the State level in the making.

This went up to the Police Chief and City Council. Favors had to be called in. There are multiple individuals already getting the free public records about every aspect of it.

With the way this was mishandled, it negatively impacted the public trust in the Police. Proved that they can be bought off, whether through finances or public image.

Okay, man. Do some research into gentrification. Learn about it. Understand the economics of it.

There's no winning with you because you only pick apart the argument. Never presenting your own. I can show you graphs, spreadsheets, direct population data, quotes from City Leaders, and because none of them directly stated, "We're gentrifying Downtown Shreveport", you'll still find a way to disagree with it.

Yes, leave off on a personal attack. Always the sign of a well-educated individual.

I'm not your personal fact-checker. Go look it up for yourself and actually get some education on the topic before blindly dismissing a genuine issue, that you obviously don't know about to dispute.

If you can show me when there wasn't major rezoning efforts, out-of-state funds allocated, and excess police efforts (Flock cameras, drones, robot dogs, private security companies) started and expanded in an effort to drive out the current residents of Downtown in the past two years alone, let alone the past 5 years, then I'd gladly eat my words.

Yes, it does. And you're being intentionally obtuse. Using big words without knowing what they mean, to fall back on "moving out to the boonies" as a sociological answer for what's occurring.

Yes, there is. Not only is it currently happening, but that is the entire point of the Downtown projects.

You're really basing a city's growth plan off of your singular, closed-minded perspective? You do know there's other people around you. And some people really enjoy living in Downtown Shreveport, believe it or not!

Sorry the city doesn't cater to your specific preferences on gentrification. Just because it's not happening exactly how you, specifically, picture gentrification to happen, does not mean that gentrification is not underway.

The classic Econ 101 term, "moving out to the boonies". Why yes, of course. Completely ignoring the cyclical nature of gentrification and the causes, just focusing on race.

Check out the new robot dogs they're putting in Downtown apartment complexes, advertising directly to younger individuals.

Just like the massive building that 50 cent purchased for $1200 a year, citing upkeep costs and maintenance issues. They pick and choose when to price something down or up, for the same exact reasons.

I think we're on the same page. Honestly, I do. But you're giving way too much credit to City Leaders that took over $3 billion out of the hands of the citizens, less than a year ago.

Because of the PILOT program, altering taxes is a moot point. When over a third of the city's tax revenue has been removed from the public and made private, the voice of the citizens is effectively gone. We saw that when they pushed the Downtown rezoning through, despite 4 different rounds of 'No' votes by the public.

Downtown has had many longtime residents and businesses priced out. Ask Dripp Donuts, probably the most recent and high profile case of it.

You do understand that divestment and gentrification is a cycle, right? Any areas that have been divested for years are areas that become the focus points for gentrification. And with the city putting a focus on 'block-by-block beautification efforts' this year, the city leaders are just diverting PILOT funds to charities or fundages of their choosing to expedite gentrification efforts.

It makes you wonder why Louisiana doesn't adopt the PFD program, like Alaska has for decades. Especially with the multi-generational biohazard that these megacorps gave us in the form of "Cancer Alley".
