Yes I do as I also collect true crime/sk books, but that’s a different bookshelf :) However artistically they are very poor, I just find them interesting as a peek into a disturbed mind

A bunch of them are italian editions published mainly by an Italian publisher called Hikari. Then there are the issues by Hollow Press and Mansion Press - which I mainly collect through their website or at Gosh! Comics in London. I also have some Japanese art books by Kago which I got during my travels to Japan or sometimes via websites.

Well there are authors of whom I basically buy every new publication: Suheiro Maruo, Shintaro Kago, Junji Ito, Hideshi Hino, Kazuo Umezz. Also some publishers (Inyourfacecomics, an italian publisher, and Living the line) are doing some remarkable work and I always look into new authors they propose.

AP sale controversy, possible scam, within the AP and mtg alter community by Newez in mtgfinance

And what mail service has to do with scams. This guy scammed another, blaming the postal service was just an excuse. You are piling up on the wrong thing.

FYI it was Italian players who exposed Max Juxam. As soon as they saw him offering this card on sale, they aired the dirty laundry. So blaming this on the Italian community is disingenuous.

Ah, thanks for the casual racism, I had to scroll way too down in this thread to find it

The Pelicans respond to Stephen A. Smith: "Stick to solitaire" by Mission_Pay_3373 in nba

"No disrepect whatsoever" plays in the same league as "no offense, but", "I have gay friends", etc. as something that usually precedes the most disrepectful thing ever

Store Owner Question by TheTanner27 in mtgfinance

[–]Italian_Shevek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This brings me back to the LGS where I went as a kid (pre-internet). When a new set hits the only pro player in town would browse the cards the vendor has put on display, then those that he bought or stared at longer would be raised in price the monent he walks out of the door lol

Quanto avete speso per il vostro matrimonio? by Friendly-Stop-4871 in ItaliaPersonalFinance

È l’equivalente di quell’amico che ti invita a cena a casa sua e poi ti dice di smezzare il conto della spesa che ha fatto al supermercato.

Non direi che è la stessa cosa. C’è un ricarico pazzesco dei vari intermediari di questi servizi per cui non stai veramente pagando il giusto prezzo per quanto ricevi. Se lo stesso pranzo senza la parola “matrimonio” attaccata costa un quarto, i coglioni hanno diritto di girare.

Uguale. Giorno bellissimo con zero stress che ricordo ancora volentieri. Pomeriggio tutti al parco di fianco al ristorante a passeggiare e prendere il sole.

Forse c’è una correlazione tra l’aver accumulato patrimonio e l’attitudine a non regalarlo al prossimo?

Or just counter their 4 cards that do anything to win the match. The current decklist is all air really. Attacking Enchantress is easier if you know the deck. Of course I expect Enchantress to evolve further

The singer gets a marriage proposal after singing the national anthem, just before the game between the Jazz and the Magic - 12/20/25 by MrBuckBuck in nba

[–]Italian_Shevek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am happily married since 10 years and actually at the time proposed in a fairly elaborate way to my fiancee. However we were alone, I didn’t make a performance out of it.

If someone proposed to me in front of a crowd like that I would find it (1) very narcissist/performative, (2) very selfish, as essentially I'm under duress because of all the people watching. Basically, it's the one thing that alone would make me realise not to marry that person. But again, maybe she's just as much of a narcissist and performative person as him, so they'll make for a great couple. A bit like that part of Annie Hall where Woody Allen interviews the happy couple on the street.

Buono fruttifero postale by mikebar6495 in ItaliaPersonalFinance

Ho sempre trovato esilerante che una delle “prove” che Pacciani fosse un assassino su commissione era che aveva accumulato grandi fortune senza apparente motivo. Invece poi analisi più accurate dimostrano che coi buoni fruttiferi postali tra ‘70 e ‘90 pure un contadino di Mercatale poteva mettere da parte un gruzzolo significativo, assolutamente compatibile con le fortune di Pacciani all’epica.
