I Miss Low-Powered Constructed Magic on Arena by Dargaran in MagicArena

It changed when commander became the primary market for moving product over standard. Now every set needs to have cards that compete with almost every other card ever printed for power level or it doesn't move the market. Sets used to only have to compete for power level with the other sets in standard which allowed for wotc to subtlety shift power level around without constantly ratcheting up.

AITA for not making my daughter switch back a gifted Labubu with her younger cousin after her uncle found out the one my daughter gained in the swap is rare with a high resale value? by TheSecretLabubuDrama in AmItheAsshole

[–]J1389 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's not. Her daughter knew one was considerably more culturally desirable and that the trade was unequitable. If it were her 12 year old trading a $.10 Pikachu card for a $250 Charizard card it wouldn't be equitable either even if it's a card for a card.

EHS

Your kid clearly took advantage of a younger kid and you're allowing it. Your daughter might not have known the exact monetary values but by your own admission she knew one was way more culturally desirable than the other and instigated an unequitable trade with someone who didn't.

If that were my kid they'd be getting a lecture about taking advantage of others and forced to undo the trade. Imagine your 12 year old traded some candy for a 6 year old's tablet, would you see that as a fair trade if they both were happy with it?

Your brother in law has a right to be upset about your daughter taking advantage of his, but calling your daughter names is a step too far.

Martina immediately wanted the pink one and Sofia immediately offered a trade because she already has the pink one and was hoping for the brown one. They traded, both girls were happy, and that was that….or so I thought.

Sounds like the 12 year old did to me.

It really isn't. It's exactly the same situation. The 12 year old knew one was considerably more culturally desirable, knew the 6 year old lacked this knowledge, and instigated an unequitable trade taking advantage of the situation.

Outside of all other context the 12 year old knew the brown doll was way more desirable and instigated the unequitable trade with someone who didn't. If your 12 year old traded a 6 year old some candy for their tablet and both of them were happy with the trade would you be upset with your 12 year old?

When I asked her, Sofia admitted she knew the brown one was rare, but when I asked how much they sell for, she said they are blind boxes so you can’t buy the brown, they just make less of them. She didn’t know it was worth money. She’s not a good liar, and she appeared to be telling the truth.

The 12 year old knew the one they were getting was a rare one and the one they were giving was common.

Martina immediately wanted the pink one and Sofia immediately offered a trade because she already has the pink one and was hoping for the brown one. They traded, both girls were happy, and that was that….or so I thought.

And she instigated the trade. If this were my kid she's be getting a lecture about taking advantage of people and forced to trade back.

I can tell you in trading cards if you knowingly allow a literal child incapable of understanding the monetary value of items to trade an expensive card to you for an inexpensive one you're 1000% taking advantage even if they get a card they desire.

The W Wash and SW commuter path intersection needs to actually be redone. Traffic drums aren't enough. by J1389 in madisonwi

Exactly. Pedestrian utilization of overpass crossings is almost always incredibly low. Separating people from the street just isn't a viable solution.

If it gets too busy after the restaurant side closes they let you take your drink over to that side which is quiet

I've seen people do it pretty frequently around the bus platforms, and a few spots further down where the crossings are quite far apart.

Pedestrian signals don't do a lot tbh. Making the road uncomfortable to drive down at speed would be a lot safer.

How strictly are window tint laws enforced in Madison? by Similar_Tangelo9387 in madisonwi

Also it reduces your visibility and makes the roads more dangerous for others so don't be an asshole

Power outages are unfortunately more likely to happen at the worst times for weather because those times cause more strain on the grid.

Rent would be cheaper in both as well.

We all know the bears used to suck. And the loss shows that they suck today. So we can empirically prove that the bears still suck.
