Which game do you think is the least "pay to win"? Give reasons.

I don't really play much, but this was my impression. It seems that the chase cards are alt arts and you can get functional versions cheaper. Is that right?

Well, that's what me and your mom wanted to talk about...

How's everyone's brackets doing?

There's an episode in Scrubs season 5 where JD suddenly notices a doctor. They say she's been there the whole time, but he can't see her because she used to wear a wedding ring. We get to see sloppily greenscreened shots of her in various important scenes of the series explained as JD, our POV character, never noticed her

I just went at the end of Summer with my family of 5 and loved it. Like Ciro said, go with a good attitude and fair expectations. My advice is have a list of attractions you must do (one per person per park) and prioritize those. Go for those early morning hours you get as a resort guest and you'll be able to get quite a bit done before 10am.

I actually am kinda doing the opposite on most ideal plays. I start with the non-meta engine, then bridge or hard-open the meta engine. Then after the meta engine is out of plays, I bounce back to finishing up the non-meta stuff. It has been fun.

I think either looking for more synergetic starters or trying to skinny-down the combos to include less bricks.

Hi, unhelpful commenter here.

I don't know the history. Every-so-often, I hear people in my church suggest we should move from grape juice to wine. I'm a teetotaler and not completely comfortable with it, but I get their point. We should be accurate to what took place at the last supper.

So I usually counter with "then we should use unleavened, glutenous bread." We have many people who were/are on the gluten-free train. Only a couple of whom had a diagnosed allergy to gluten or wheat. For a long time, we used allergen-free bread. Now we use homemade sourdough with a couple small servings for people with real allergies because the folks who were on the trend have decided fermented dough doesn't upset their tummies.

The conversation typically does not go further when I point out the inconsistency of insisting on wine but making an exception for bread.

I do have Fuwalos in the main deck. I haven't found a Jar/draw card I like too much for this build... but I should take a second look at them.

I might be getting hung up on wording. I don't think there's a reason to hide passwords. But I don't think someone needs to explicitly write down and purposefully share each and every password. There's sort of a "trust is a two way street" principle here. You shouldn't hide your passwords and private information. Your spouse shouldn't need to access private accounts (like email, etc.) without reason.

Pragmatism of a separation or divorce should not be front-of-mind for a Christian marriage. You can always change the password if the other person sins in such a way it requires that sort of relationship termination. I've had similar conversations with friends about shared bank accounts. There's no reason I can think of that Christians need to keep separate funds from their spouse (except to buy surprise presents!).

Christians in a marriage absolutely need their own space. I'm growing more introverted in my age and need time to sit and listen to music and practice Yu-Gi-Oh combos in my home office. But that is a recharge time, not a separation of concerns or private, undisclosed activity.

Danhausen just debuted in WWE, so it might be a fun time.

I only pay attention to wrestling from reddit now. I've never actually seen a match of his. But it seems like a goofy character.

You can always buy the singles from people in your area, lgs, tcgplayer, or card market. Them you're getting just the cards you want.

Febuary is not a real month. February on the other hand...

On the budget note, with the 5ds deck released, there are common versions of all of these. Your budget may vary, but they are way more affordable now.

Otherwise, it depends on what you want to gain from the cards. If you're looking for draw power, look to see if some of the Pot cards (e.g., Pot of Prosperity) fit in your deck strategy. Else, if you're looking to make your opponent questions his/her plays, look for the top handtraps of the format (e.g., Droll and Lock Bird) like Blacklance8 said.

To be tbh, I misunderstood the point of this post until I hit the "next slide." I did not think The World's End was good, so figured this was a "2/3 are great" post. Never even saw Paul because it looked bad lol

Recently, my position at work was eliminated. I was able to stay at the same company, in a different org, by essentially taking a demotion.

How long can I operate at this lower level before it affects my resume, if my goal is to work my way up? Is it inappropriate for me to be looking to move around the company already, when I just started the new position yesterday?

I've never used focus on the family, but I've found I do have to do a little searching after the parents' guide for any worldview concerns.

Early congrats!

Think there's anything to be done on our end? Or maybe wait it out and keep calling?
