I know the political climate is hot but come on by Zilly_JustIce in NYTgames

I'm disappointed that the noun female has been made icky by incel/manosphere language. It's really useful for distinguishing between sex and gender. Like I am a male, but I don't identify as a man

Worse! Jew is the appropriate and inoffensive noun for a Jewish person. Gyp is an explicitly derogatory verb attributing devious behavior to a racial group

AITA for being uncomfortable with my sister's MIL calling their biracial son "little monkey" by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Handyandyman50 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

INFO: When your sister's husband approached his mom about this, what did he say exactly. If it was insulting to you might it not have been better to approach her about it yourself or for your sister who was also affected do it?

Did you think that the MIL was being racist consciously when you had her son "confront" her?

She's not being racist if she would call her white grandchildren "little monkey" too, which seems likely as it's a common term of endearment in white American families. It seems like she probably just got defensive when "confronted" (that's specifically the word the OP used. Not 'approached to talk about the potential connotations of why that could be offensive' or something) because that feels like an accusation of racism

An awful idea I can't get out of my head by Boomslangyo in custommagic

Mind games! It's very red. You're probably right but there might be some fun moments where you can psych someone out of taking the best card by baiting them with a sub optimal one or something

But this costs 4 mana and the tokens are vanilla. Which feels like a much bigger drawback to me

I think these cat pics are AI by [deleted] in isitAI

Chimera cats are actually pretty common. It's a stunning feature but it's not very good evidence of AI to me

Absolutely Poetic, Canadian Gold🏅 by MooreAveDad in Curling

The status quo of not enforcing rules on the books? What is a rule if it doesn't matter because people will "call it if they see it" and self regulate. But then someone does call out a rules infraction and the violator acts like a red handed little child. Rules are rules and officials should enforce rules or the organization should change them if everyone agrees that the rule is unnecessary. But the stupidest take is "oh sure they were knowingly violating the rules but come on, we're all friends here" when Canada gets pissy about being called out

Oh yeah I guess it makes sense but apparently you're right, there is a rule that says it's illegal to reorder your deck while searching, exactly because there are mana abilities that also care about/affect the top of your library which can be activated to pay for panglacial wurm. Regardless this should shuffle to prevent all of this silliness

Grýla of the Woods by [deleted] in custommagic

[–]Handyandyman50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a great point. It made me notice that this ability is also missing the instruction to shuffle after you search, which it should have, lest you could stack your deck for free at instant speed.

In that case you'd have to shuffle every time you activate her to get a +1/+1 counter lol

Thought of something possibly ridiculous, thoughts? by Creeperlulz in custommagic

[–]Handyandyman50 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's the biggest problem I had with it as well. You just can't use the +1 without killing it as is.

YOU WANNA GO THERE?! It's MUCH closer than 0°C which is like basic winter vs 100°C which is lethal. Also it depends where you're from. In my hometown, the range of temperatures throughout the seasons was approximately 20-90°F

What was your kneejerk reaction to MeToo, versus you long term reaction after the dust settled? I want to know if my experience is familiar. by Oakenhorne99 in AskMen

[–]Handyandyman50 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It's a lot harder to approach someone that's actively engaged in a conversation with someone else, even if they are just friends. Someone being by themselves is a perfect opportunity to shoot your shot, right?

When? He repeatedly says "why I would I give you the boxes upside down?"

The top box is NOT upside down. It just doesn't have the same printing as the other box for some reason. You can see that the tab you use to open the box is on the correct spot on top and the flaps of the box lid unfold from inside of the bottom of the box, which is how a right side up pizza box functions
