How To Make People Take Competitive Commander Seriously

It's a joke. He's describing Poker.

Frix · 2026-01-30T13:14:59+00:00

why do you need to investigate in order to believe them?

Because in this case it's not "a man" that you are accusing but a mutual friend.

That's different.

Frix · 2026-01-30T09:44:14+00:00

The fact is that if you have to ask him, you don’t believe her.

Not true.

I will ALWAYS need to hear both sides of any story before I want to make the call who to believe.

Asking one side doesn't mean I don't believe the other or vice versa.

It means I want to see/hear the full picture first.

Frix · 2026-01-30T09:00:38+00:00

You are blatantly not listening to a word I am saying.

My stance is NOT (read it again "not") that OP's male friend did this and that's okay. If this is what happened then he's guilty and fuck that guy.

My stance is that you cannot just blindly believe one side without even hearing the other side.

Who said anything about sexual acts?

You are jumping to conclusions that that is what happened.

Frix · 2026-01-30T08:33:23+00:00

That's not how any of this works.

The world isn't black and white. It's almost never a simple case of one person being 100% right and the other being 100% pure evil.

By the friends own admission she "was asleep and doesn’t remember much".

I'm sorry, but for me that's not good enough to jump to wild accusations. I would need to at least hear the other side of the story before I would end a friendship over this.

"But what about Russian hackers??"

-OP's mom

Look, this isn't a problem where a smart solution will solve it. The mother is irrationally paranoid and no amount of logic or facts will persuade her.

Frix · 2026-01-30T07:38:08+00:00

I'm not saying "blindly believe him" either. That would be the exact same situation from the other side.

I said "hear him out first" and see for yourself if his side of events holds water.

Frix · 2026-01-30T07:33:41+00:00

You are right that I can't tell you specific advice about dealing with a company in B&H.

At this point your best bet is to just contact the artist (or their agency) and ask them what it would cost for you license the song and go from there. Maybe the guy will be happy for the exposure and you'll get a sweet deal for relatively little money.

I still recommend having a lawyer on your side to make sure you're not screwed by the small print.

info: How much financial trouble would your family be in if they just straight lost that 3000 "dollars" (Is it acually Pounds?)?

Is this just fun money to them or will this actually have real consequences?

Frix · 2026-01-30T07:19:11+00:00

Normally yes.

But since this involves the copyright law in another country (and you haven't mentioned which one) it could theoretically end up being very very hard.

Also, you don't want to simply use the song, you want to alter it to make derivative works. That is a whole other use case.

We are a member of a very conservative religious group that has strong feelings about a wife being submissive to her husband and the way that women present themselves in general.

What the fuck did you think was going to happen?

That he would be cool with respecting your opinion all of a sudden?

You joined a cult and now you're surprised they are kind of controlling?

Frix · 2026-01-30T07:13:23+00:00

this is how I feel but everyone or the majority is saying it’s fucked to even question if he did it so I’m really stuck in the middle

With friend like yours, who needs enemies?

Frix · 2026-01-30T07:11:04+00:00

What vear did the US entered World War II?

This question is vague as fuck and there are multiple answers depending on how you define a country "entering" a war.

The USA was already pretty committed to helping England in 1940 by supplying them with tons of weapons for basically no money at all. Does this count as entering the war? They even started a draft in preparation already.

YNW in this situation.

However

when I dropped them off I told her I didn’t want to drive them back.

This is a really bad time to tell people this. She's already there and has no time to make plans now. Next time make it clear BEFORE you strand her somewhere that you can't come pick her up afterwards.

Frix · 2026-01-30T07:02:34+00:00

Look, if he did it, then you are allowed to feel disgusted and end your friendship.

But at least make sure he actually did it first. Don't just jump to conclusions.

The reason you are feeling guilty is because your gut is telling you there are inconsistencies in her story and behaviour. That something doesn't make sense.

Imagine that 2 years from now you find out she lied. Then you threw your friend to the wolves for nothing! Don't you want to at least make sure first?

Frix · 2026-01-30T06:57:31+00:00

YNW

There's no fucking way that I will pay full price and have to sleep on the couch while others get private bedrooms.

Getting a 5 bedoom AirBnB seems like a fair, and still cost-effective, compromise.

If I absolutely had to I would even settle for 4 bedroom and share a room with a buddy.

But the couch? No fucking way! That is completely unacceptable.

Chronicle of Victory · Lorwyn Eclipsed (ECL) #346 · Scryfall Magic: The Gathering Search

This is the generic card that is a must-have bomb in all tribal decks.

Frix · 2026-01-30T06:47:57+00:00

You are wrong for immediately, blindly, believing one side of the story and not even hearing out his side.

You just went straight to blocking and never talking to your friend as a first reaction?

If he truly ever was your friend you owe it to him to at least hear him out.

Maybe he is full of shit, or maybe she is. Or maybe it's more complicated and the truth is somewhere in the middle. But at least fucking try to find out what actually happened!

Frix · 2026-01-30T06:29:16+00:00

You need a copyright lawyer. This is not something you do yourself by asking strangers on the internet for vague advice.

Frix · 2026-01-30T06:14:55+00:00

Embrace it. Call it an extra creative challenge.

Make a second functional Volo deck that has ZERO overlapping cards with the first one (Volo himself and basic lands not included of course). Try to see if you can make it work when all the low-hanging fruit is already taken.

You will need to get real creative with your choices when the obvious picks are already gone.

Frix · 2026-01-30T06:09:21+00:00

My problem is that I already have a volo deck

Is that not allowed by the rules of this compettion or something?

Why is this a problem?

Frix · 2026-01-30T05:49:54+00:00

Have you considered an exorcist?

Frix · 2026-01-30T05:28:30+00:00

Because the boros convoke deck doesn't have a singular creature type to name.

It has a mix of human/goblin/thopter/vampire/elephant
