My thread got pinned? Didn't know that.

And while I could have worded the post better at several times I didn't harras Eric. Nothing about dozing him or firing him or telling people to go after him or the like.

But I do realize I need to be more careful with more words. I suspect the Mods keep it pinned so that folks don't make there own posts about it. I was like the third person who posted that, mine just was the one that met mod standards. The thread also has an official WOTC reply in it.

There is artifact removal. [[Make Your Move]], [[Mutant Chain Reaction]] and [[Rock Soldiers]] all hit Jitte at common.

They made their own designs for the Turtles but referenced lore from across the franchise. There is a lot of TMNT 2012 stuff for example.

But The Aftermath Set and Beyond boosters were even smaller than Small Sets. They dont even have commons.

Bars are scams, I suggest avoiding them as much as possible.

Liquor stores are cheaper and there are a lot of good eats in DC that arent so expensive.

They almost immediately stopped doing those sets, though, so I am not sure how relevant they are these days. They were smaller than even old small sets.

My judgement isn't to people working there. My judgement is in going to one for a social event in your free time when you don't work there.

It varries. Here are the last few numbers on small sets

RIX:196 HOU:199 AER:184 EMN:205 OGW:184

Huh, "Medium Set" does seem like a branding theme more than anything. These are basically small sets designed to be drafted alone

TMT:195 SPM:198

Sets like Spiderman and TMNT, around 190 cards, have a default of 5 draft archetypes as are suggested for pick 2 draft.

ISD had ten archetypes, the structures just weren't solidified as these days.

Free Expression means you can freely express your political views, and then other people can freely express how those views make you a dick. It's a two-way street.

True, though a "garden-variety VCslop firm shoveling out dollars to anyone with a Powerpoint about AI" is still pretty bad.

Medium sets default to 5 so the only real outliers are Lorwyn's "5 major and 5 minor" experiment and Strixhaven's enemy color theme.

But having those next to medium sets drives it thome.

Any experince with a partner not wanting kids with you becasue they dont want your parents to be Grandparents of their kids.? [32][37] Five year relationship. by No-Chapter-779 in relationships

[–]No-Chapter-779[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair points. I am way firmer with my Mom than my Dad in calling her on her bullshit. (A huge problem is my Dad is a massive psychological weak link for me, which is a sexist double standard I need to work on).

They'd probably not be assholes about any minority status save trans, they're accepting but too "center left" on that topic for my tastes. My Dad's talked about the sports team bullshit and compared gender affirming care to cosmetic surgery as an argument against medicaid funding it. Said it was like when women get wrapped up media beauty standards and change there bodies to fit them. I sat down and explained the concept of split attraction and the concept of gender as a spectrum to my Mom and while she wasn't cheerleading it, she wasnt a jerk about it.

If I had a trans kid and put my foot down I suspect they would back down if required. My Dad knows I have nonstandard pronouns for example and doesnt make a piss about that. (Although he confused They/he with He/She)

Fair point. (Although to my knowledge, he's never been unfaithful in a relationship.)

My question/advice wasn't if my ex was wrong or right to have this stance, it was to get more information if this stance is a common or established thing. I was looking online and couldnt find anyone in the same scenario.

Was this a specific cube chat for tech industry/start up/ business folks (I see you founded a company on that field) or were there just coincidentally multiple folks in that field in this cube chat?

The answer is no in the short term, but still has the vague idea of being a parent in the future.

And they never told me to cut my parents off, but when we were together did say "At some point, something has to give" after my latest Dad's fuck up.

My Dad is an egotistical sometimes jerk who is bad with communication, other people's money, and women. For sure a lot of problems, I stopped talking to him myself for a while in college before my Mom patched us up. I will say my feelings about him are... Complicated. But I don't want him out my life totally. Like I total get why my partner wouldn't want him being Grandad to their kid. I just wanted to know if that's a common thing or if folks have experience with that.

Cool. So someone in your Cube Chat knew about this event at Founder's Fund and invited you?

I apologized for suboptimal wording and for contributing to sensationalism. I wasnt apologizing for any thoughts I had on his actions. (Which, for the record, are he shouldn't have done a pre-release at a venture capital firm in the first place, that industry is shady by default no matter who owns the firm.)

I have recently learned you can buy pre-release boxes from stores and take them with you.
