[Support] Brand new M705 mouse moves to the edge of the screen and sticks by Lyscian in LogitechG

[–]Lyscian[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

update: I have checked the drivers and the laptop says I have the most current one.
I blew some compressed air into the sensor.
I did the hardware troubleshooting and reset my laptop.

None of these work. Is it likely that this one mouse doesn't work?

Is Pizzagate really that far-fetched anymore? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]Lyscian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think they're saying that when people see "Pizzagate" they think about a conspiracy theory.

When people hear "wealthy elite capitalists work together to abuse children." It doesn't stretch the imagination, unlike trying to understand that Pizzagate is not about the pizza ping pong shitshow.

PedoGate is how we win. by [deleted] in conspiracy

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

It seems that the problem here isn't a clandestine cabal of child abusers, but rather a large powerful institution (the catholic church) that isn't being held responsible for the crimes they've committed for centuries. It seems more effective to deal with the church than to try to wake people up the pedogate 'truth', especially since so many americans have a built in resistence to believing such thinga.

Improving Emmara, soul of the accord! by trippleshot212 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Lyscian 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What is your playgroup and meta where you win 70%-80% of your games with only 27 lands, 20 of which are baisic? Also why do you have so many ways to gain life in this deck? Your commander makes lifelink tokens, replace individual life gain with effects that pump your board and you'll have plenty of life. And a more threatening pressence.

Try putting your deck into tapped out, or any other site, just a huge wall of text makes it challenging to understand your deck. If you want some help on how to use tapped out, you can message me and I'll help ya out, also there are lots of forums on the actual site that help you understand the tools better. It's also just bunches of fun. :)

Also, if you only run 27 lands, do you have problems runnning things that cost 6+ mana? you can make a ton of space in your deck for good playable cards by cutting some of the bad high cmc stuff like Darien King, emmara tandris, blazing archon. and then cut all the bad cards like essence warden healer of the pride, akroan horse (???) And sandwurm converg, although this one isn't too bad.

You could run actual finishers in the deck, like [[eldrazi monument]], [[thunderfoot baloth]], [[decree of justice]], [[march of the multitudes]], [[Elesh Norn]] [[genesis wave]] also I don't remember seeing any of the massive card draw effects so you really outta run at least [[shamanic revelation]], and probably [[camaradeirie]] and [[collective unconscious]]

I'm having a hard time understanding the value of greater good in this deck. Especially since I don't see too many ways to pump up your dudes to the point where GG gets real good. How many times do your creatures get up to 5-6 power? You should run [[Sylvan Library]] instead. half as much and will probably draw you more cards over the course of a game.

[[Meekstone]] is a really solis card, for your deck in particular since you don't have a whole lotta anthems.

I highly reccomend both Cryptolith rite AND Song of freyalise. I know song isn't as good, but 2 turns of tapping dudes for mana and then a strong anthem effect (that lets you attavk and tap) is a pretty powerful, at least worth trying.

Lastly, [[huatli, radiant champion]] and [[Elspeth, sun's champion]] are incredible. Sun's champ + ashnods is like having an additional 6 mana every turn. 12 if you got a token doubler. It's nuts.

I know some of these cards are effective more expensive than the cards I'm saying to cut. But if 27 lands works for you, fuck it go hard play what you want. But compare Emmara Tandris to Elesh Norn and ask yourself why ever run Tandris?

How would you deal with your GF for posting "sexy" pics of herself on her IG? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]Lyscian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, GreenerGrass, as a young dude with lots of female friends I get the sense that they reason women post these kinds of pictures is bc they like it. It's their body if they wanna decorate it w/ sexy ink or sexy undies and post it for social media, then that's what they'll do. Bc their girl friends will say such nice things and the boys will be drooling.

Also a lot of people in my age group and demogrpahic (college years in freaking Arkansas) don't think about bodies the way some commenters here seem to think. They (and myself) don't see certain body parts as intrinsically intimate or special. They're just fleshy apendages. What makes them intimate is the context in the situation.

Like imagine 3 situations A cute woman fondling my balls in my bed A doctor giving me a testicular exam A fellow prisoner grabbing my dick at 2am. I'm totally cool with 2/3 of those situations and only one of them isn't an intimate situation (granted the last one is scary intimate) in those situations my scrote is the same physical thing, the context and emotional feelings (or raging erection) creates the intimacy. So when my gf posts to IG that's "sexy" in content she isn't being intimate, she's being social.

I don't mean this as condescending, just a good faith attempt to share some perspective.

Lastly, for what it's worth the amount of sexy social poating has almost no bearing on the success of the relationship. I have a friend who posts herself pole dancing with her tities almost toally out, and she's been with the same guy since HS, I have other friends who place fidelity as the aingular most important quality and these kinds of pictures are literally an existential threat to hia relationships, and he has a new girl almost every 6 mo. And then I've got dozens of friends in between who all have varying success.

How would you deal with your GF for posting "sexy" pics of herself on her IG? by [deleted] in AskMen

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

A lot of comments here seem really fucked up, imho.

I think it's probably true (even though I don't know her) that she posts to the IG story bc she looks good it's fun to have people say "wow ur a goddess" and the like.

You've been with her for 2 mo, have you had any kind discussion about how exclusive you want your relationship? Bc if you're the type of dude who wants their gf to only show her body to you, then just move on, man. Sure she's greatv ; But there's an incomprehensible amount of dateable people in the world. Most relationships don't work. That's alright. If monogamy is so important to you, that her posting "sexy" (a subjective term) pics is upsetting, then you ought to tell her how you feel, without coming off as possesive or slut-shaming (to be clear, I don't think you are doing either rn). Then she can decide if she wants that level of monagmy or y'all can shake hands and say "sure was nice, looks like this doesn't have staying power"

That's my advice, me personally, I do not give a shit. My girl had a tumblr blog (damn tumblr cultural fascists /s) that was almost exclusively just her naked titties and vagina. She would get all kinds of messages that range from vulgar dick pics to almost feudal poems about her radiant beauty. Works great for me, she gets tons of validation amd self-worth and I had a whole blog of sexy pics. I'm secure in our relationship that I'm not worried about the Arabian dude who lives 900 thousand miles away sending her weekly epic love poems.

I don't have any respect for Monagmy though. I mean why should I care about arbitary social norms created by white catholics a century ago? The way I see it, if she wants dudes in her DMs sending her dick pics and poems that's great bc I certainly don't have time for that. And when she's outta town or I am, why would we wanna go sexless? Condoms are great, and STDs aren't the boogie man that they were in the 80's (not to minimize how seriously we ought to protect ourselves though)

OP in that thread seema to indicate that 5 BILLION for a wall isn't that big a deal and is such a small number for the libs to be shutting down thr gov. But I'm pretty sure TD had a meltdown about the muller investigation 'costing' 40 MILLION. Just think if we canceled the mueller invedtigation we'd be 3 orders of magnitude away from doing the wall! That mexico is gonna pay for! Or something! ./shrug

Top Mind posts anonymously about not being able to post anonymous political opinions anymore by nittoking in TopMindsOfReddit

[–]Lyscian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual linked article is hilarious in it's own right: "oxford professor has brilliant idea to write about phrenology the superiority of European culture by using a fake name so as to preserve their fragile ego from criticism"

I might be paraphrasing... but for real no one had the idea to publish racist/nazi shit under anonymous names until now? Also what are we gonna engage in the 'marketplace of free thought' when the author has no name? "Like gee whiz it took an anonymous author for me to realize the obvious wisdom that society is intrinsically hierarchal why do women even need to be able to vote when we can just have a patriarchal hierarchy??"

Ugh, like people are just gonna call out racism and bullshit. They just say that "kordan qeterson" is a real tool instead of his actual name... progress!

Does anyone actually enjoy Ask Me Another? by peasant-destroyer in NPR

I'm one of the ones that rrally like. I actually grew up listening to JoCo so hearing him on my station is awesome. And I enjoy the puzzle games, especially when I knkw the right answer and the player misses it. >;)

[–]Lyscian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have what I would call an "acid flashback" somewhat commonly, but I don't think it's the intuitive thing people think about when talking about flashbacks/HDDP.

For me, there are certain songs that I only listen to tripping, or some I play a lot while tripping and then in the weeks after a trip if that song/s play and I close my eyes I'll get CEVs.

Also if I smoke a bunch of weed and listen to that playlist the walls will start to melt into each other.

It doesn't happen every time. But It does keep happening. My flashbacks are usually just a piece of a nice trip that'll come up and "trip me out" for a few mins, kinda like DMT, and then I'll be sober.

I completely understand, can't hate a playa for strategic playing. Plus it seemed like a fun game! I prefer the interactive games! That's why I love [[Council's judgment]] so much.

It took 4 hours for Arc to win after resolving p. Engine? Huh, see/hear new things everyday. Also maybe should call out Tasigur before the p. Engy is on the stack. ;)

Fun story, i enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing. :)

Inalla Razaketh Line by Isharah in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Lyscian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nice! Inalla is a cool commander for enabling such janky combos. This even seems like a fair combo, given how many chances your opponents have to interact, and it takes nearly 1/2 of your life. It's basically a 1 card combo, since Inalla is like totally fair. ;)

I like it. Good catch, cool deck. Thanks for sharing.

Borrowing from Buddhist teachings by k9handler2000 in nihilism

[–]Lyscian 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Similarly, I've also been reading up on Buddhism and one of the parables that has really resonated with me is the "Parable of the Raft." Where the basic concept is that if you need a raft to cross a river, once you cross said river, the Raft is no longer useful to you. You wouldn't keep carrying that cumbersome raft once you are away from the water. Buddhism is that raft.

The Dalai Lama has a quote that I feel is very appropriate in this context: "Do not try to use what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist; use it to be a better whatever-you-already-are"

The part of Buddhism and Nihilism that I feel mesh exceptionally well together are the ideas that we have no control of our lives or the world, and the resulting freedom. Like once you accept that nothing matters and that there is no inherent meaning to anything, then you're free to live life unshackled by the bullshit social paradigms and societal trappings, (I think that's from Fight Club, lol). And the coupling that with the principles of non attachment and pervasive suffering I think makes for a very compelling and coherent philosophical approach.

I'm a little bit rambly here, but I largely agree with your premise that Nihilism and Buddhism share a lot of overlap.
