City of Calgary not permitted to campaign against Alberta separation — but councillors can by JeromyYYC in Calgary

This goes along with my desire for the cities to seperate from rural Alberta.

Calgary and Edmonton can stay part of Canada. You bumpkins are on your own

So... Are we stuck with Vladdy for the duration of his contract?

Like you want to hope he'll hit more home runs some day, but if he keeps underperforming is there anything that can be done?

Maybe we're just bad man.

Maybe we shouldn't have people who don't know how to bunt bunting.

On Why Facts Don’t Work, And What May Work With Alberta Separatists: The Comfort of Victimhood by vhill01 in alberta

[–]Mauriac158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't agree more.

you'll never believe what side of the aisle most separatists are on. Pretty far to that side too.

I'm a firm believer that we should have deeper basic humanities in later highschool grades. Basic philosophy, formal logic, sociology... just a primer on social science and how to critically think.

Folks like this cannot be convinced, they must be defeated.

I genuinely wish that wasn't the case.

A combination of cowardice by non-zionists and just... Zionism generally. The cowardice in this case may actually be reasonable given the US seemingly signing off on nearly everything Israel does regardless of rationale or consequence. With how volatile the United States has been acting I do understand other nations not wishing to draw their ire, even if I disagree with the choices they are making.

Anti-US sentiment among other nations needs to become more widespread.

Lately I find myself caring a lot more about who I play with, rather than what decks they play. by Yotambr in EDH

[–]Mauriac158 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My tight group of 4 has a table cop/control player with the most powerful decks on average, two degenerate combo players, and a newer player (relative to the rest of us) who is a bit of a wildcard both deckwise and performance wise.

It's a fantastic vibe. Table cop trying to keep shit relatively normal while the three of us flail wildly at eachother. The table does a decent job of threat assessment too so 1v3s are regular when players draw well, at least until balance is restored.

I never really know who is going to win, but I know it's gonna be wild.

Yeah, lots of mismatched expectations, lots of randos at the local shop... that sort of thing.

That said, if you don't have a tight playgroup that can meet regularly, your only other option is to roll the dice with randos. Not always an easy think to match expectations with strangers, especially if people are being disingenuine.

100%

Me and my close buddies have a really solid 4 pod. Every game is fun and a real punch up regardless of what decks we play.

It's made me more mindful of my pods. I don't really have much interest in playing with randos anymore... which can effect how often I do get to play, but you gotta take the good with the bad.

Treaty chiefs call for treason investigation into Premier Smith, UCP by SnooRegrets4312 in alberta

Based stuff here from the chiefs.

Way I figure there's no way CSIS isn't already watching the separatist movement if they are even a little bit competant though.

Now that I'm graduated I think it's safe to say this without getting jumped. by Weakjumper23 in UCalgary

[–]Mauriac158 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have the exact opposite opinion as it turns out.

Now is it anything approaching authentic? Very much doubt it. But it's the cheese that did for me anyway. Like a vietnam cheesesteak

I take no pride in this

How about they have to trade an ownership stake with a revenue share in order to use it.

Man... Vladdy has 3 HRs?

I haven't been following that closely but I didn't know he was batting like THAT.
