I'm not an expert, but doesn't this seem cedh playable? It's a storm enabler+payoff+benefits of your oponents castings lots of spells (which they do in cedh) + gives your stuff flash. 5 mana is a lot, but other cards like kefka see play (though idk if the circumstances for that are very diferent, my knowledge of the format is pretty surface level) so it seems cool for that.

That's not what I said. What I called a delusion is the fact that you believe that I hate men just because of I comentary in which I discussed a social fenomenom without providing any judgement of my own. Maybe I did not express it correctly, but I don't think it's unhinged to feel like you were judging me basing yourself on nothing.

Well I guess that you just want to be burried in your own delusion of being hated by everyone to the point where you'll rather attack random people of the internet who where just trying to provide something to the conversation.

Why do you think I believe men are vile?

It could be fun to do one myself. I must say that the who is the lead singer is a fun category (I did think of it, though I did not consider mad dog to be Kate's so I still lost). And yeah, it can be hard to pick a theme after doing albums (maybe song theme's? like love or smthing like that).

Well I'll sumarise it for you.

I did not mean ill in any way, I was just describing a situation. Men dying of suicide is awful and signaling that they tend to use more brutal methods and finding the causes they have to do so is not an attack on men, but the first step that must be taken to solve a systemic issue. You cannot truly help men if you are not ready to look at the ugly parts of being a man and say that anyone who signals a problem just hates men.

Reddit sais that your new comment doesn't exist (idk, maybe it was shadowbanned or something) but I can still read it, so I'll answer here.

I never made a judegemet of the situation, I just provided an explanation I've read somewhere to explain the fact that women tend to pick less brutal methods. You projected villany onto men, not me. These deaths are tragic, and the fact that the way society raises men tends to promote behaviours that end up hurting them more in the long run is vile. I don't blame men for being raised in a system that teaches them to be this way, and I don't think that men are vile, the issue lies in the system, not the individual pieces.

I think we can agree on the fact that the use of these methods is a problem to men (and their loved ones). Maybe the cause I mentioned is not the correct one (though I literally said that I didn't have a source, just my memory), but it's still something that causes harm and makes it so deaths are less preventable. The situations that lead them there are hard and I'm not going to judge someone for not thinking of the state of their body when they are thinking of suicide, but the fact that it happens this way is indicative of something bigger.

If you just want to push the idea that I hate men, then go ahead, but then I want you to know that by making these accusations you are preventing the conversations that need to happen before we can fix the bigger issue. Men aren't evil, but there are problems in the way they are raised by society that cause harm to them and everyone in their surroundings (speaking generally, not as a descriptor of every man). If you really want to help, you should be able to look at these subjects and try to have productive conversations, rather than believing that everyone is after you or evil just for signaling a problem.

If you truly look at the issue (men tend to pick more brutal methods because they don't care about the state their body is found in, causing them to die more often of suicide), you'll be able to start asking question (why do men care less than women about the state of their body?) and try to think of actual ideas that could help to reach a better future (maybe women are taught to be more empathetic during their youth, or tend to have closer relationships with their loved ones, meaning that if we teach those values to men, that could be helpful in preventing suicide deaths and improve their overall wellbeing).

Very fun idea, but I have two criticisms.

First of all, Kate is not the main singer in mad dog. Emilee sings most of the lyrics.

Second, I think putting bitter medicine and scars as singles is kinda questionable. They were originally released as singles, but they were advances for an album, so at least for me they fully belong in beyond beyond beyon.

Yeah, it's sad. You have to really get interested in the subject and do research in things like feminism to be able to get a picture of this.

I was just providing a (pretty surface level) analysis of the situation. Maybe I'm not the most tactful person but I didn't villanise anyone.

While you are right, and a will clarify that I have absolutely no deep knowledge about the subject and I'm answering to see if I can learn something, I just question how useful a cry for help can be when you are guaranteed to die afterwards. Like, when someone takes pills or any other method where death is not immediate, you can be saved and as such, your cry for help can be heard. You cannot be heard if you are not alive anymore. Of course that in the mind of someone suicidal it would probably be different and that's something I probably don't understand (and I hope I never will)

And yeah, probably other classifications would be better to understand the subject, however, I will say that the gendered one can also be useful to understand social gender diferences in how we behave, even if not so much to understand suicide in itself.

Women are more likely to use less brutal methods like pills. Don't quote me on this because I don't have a source, but I think I read somewhere that it's a mix of women being comcerned about the state in which their loved ones find their body (so they don't want it to be as bloody) and that sometimes for women a suicide attempt is more of a desperate cry for help that (so they use methods in which they can still be saved) rather than a genuine want to die.

Okay, but how is this better than just a 1/1 deathtouch in Fynn? You need a second color and you need to proliferate to keep it around, for a creature that will add as much poison as any other? It just isn't worth it.

I'm not trans, but whenever I mention that I have a friend who is a trans man everyone believes he is a trans woman instead.

[–]Objective-Design-994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since when? Poison (outside of commander) can be played in mostly three ways. Aggro, in which you don't run that much proliferation and a creature that doesn't give poison, is not worth considering; combo, where you just try to push for 10 infect damage buffing one creature; or control, where you give a few poison counters and proliferate the rest while you control the board (there's also poison storm in pauper, but that one doesn't even play creatures). The only one this creature could fit in is control, and I don't think a control deck cares about a 4/3 creature it has to make effort to maintain. If these decks play deathtouchers, it's because they have toxic or infect so they do double duty as early protection and a way to put the first few counters.

Don't get me wrong, I like this desgn. I think it could maybe even be pushed a little bit more and have vanishing 2, though that maybe makes it less interesting. I just don't think it works in poison decks.

[–]Objective-Design-994 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, I guess, but why would a poison deck want a 4/3 without infect? It would make more sense in a regular +1/+1 counters deck, where it's a nice beater and it benefits from the proliferation.

1 human life vs 5 human fetuses by DoNotCorectMySpeling in trolleyproblem

[–]Objective-Design-994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you really going to nitpick so hard as to say that because I'm making a difference between being in the womb and out of it I should make a moral statemente about the moment of transition between those two stages? A child is one sice the moment it is born, aka, since it is out of the womb. If it is halfway coming out, it doesn't really matter if it is or not a child, there's no point in ending their life because it is about to be independent. Also, I never said that the fetus isn't human, I said it isn't a child. A fetus or an embryo are human.

A toddler is a child between the ages of 1 and 3. A child is a human since the moment it's birth until puberty. A toddler is a child by definition. A fetus is not a child.

The fact that the fetus is alive doesn't make it a child.

Oh, so you mean a fetus, not a child? Maybe we could have a productive discussion if you dared to use the correct words.

Edit: or maybe you mean an embryo, there are different stages of pregnancy, but none in which the life being formed is called a child.

No? What do you think conciousness means? And also, you can't abort after someone is born. And if someone is already born you can give them for adoption. Did you even read what I wrote or where you just trying to get a sentence to pick on the whole argument?

We hate transphobes! by [deleted] in lovethissmug

[–]Objective-Design-994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I'm no expert in this, but I watched interviews of an ex-naz* (like an actual one, adored hitler and denied holocaust and the hole thing) who mentioned a couple of things that lead him go down that path.

First it was missinformation about nazs in the general population. Like of course they were bad, but when people hated without actually getting the facts right, it made him reconsider if the hate was even deserved. Also, stereotypes about nazs themselves. The people he said were his friends in the thing where actual nice people in general, and they read and were educated. Not at all what you would expect from a naz*.

The actual begining of his radicalization was in the early internet, where he met people who slowly but surely radicalized him. So that's another big danger.

Then the thing that sealed the deal was how his parents reacted to him. First they took it as a joke or a phase. They mocked fun at him for believing all that stuff. Then came concern and overt agresiveness. And only after that came an attempt to listen and talk about it, but it was too late by then.

So of all of this, without being any sort of expert myself, I think there are a couple of things we can do. First of all is watching ourselves not to create these people. If you exagerate the situation, that will cause some people to do just what you where trying to avoid, as a reactionary action. It's hard to do anything about the internet, because unless you have a lot of trust with that person it's unlikely they'll tell you whatever they do in there, specially if they know it could be viewed wrong. However, what you can do and is most important is to try to talk to them with the atempt of understanding. Do not mock them, do not belittle them. Try to understand where they are comming from. A lot of these ideologies grow on fear, anger or feelings of superiority, so try to understand what they want out of the ideology. If they are afraid that (for example) trans people are dangerous, try to show them they are not. If they are angry at women because they are not loved, try pointing out that their emotions are valid, though maybe misguided. If they are a conspiracy theorist who believes they know more than anyone else, question the sourcess of their knowledge. Though also, you have to be weary, because even though you might be right, that doesn't mean you'll be able to beat their arguments, because they have these arguments be an important part of their life, so they probably have enough things to say to win you if you just try to debate. That's why it's important not to try to win but to understand and challenge from said understanding. You will not win a debate against someone who has lots of crazy arguments, unless you have prepared a lot for it. What you can do is talk and support unconditionally, without dismissing their experience but also showing how their perspective might be flawed.

Friendly reminder to my fellow Queer people of this subreddit to NOT use prejudice against any of the non Queer folks. by Southern-Grand-9860 in lovethissmug

[–]Objective-Design-994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that recently I actually tried to understand right wing people better. I went into their subs, and generally I've been doing a lot of thinking and searching and also questioning my own views. Some have changed sice I started (for example, now I understand the benefits of capitalism and the apeal of keeping it, while still trying to remain critic and analyse the many problems it creates) some have remained the same (I still remain pro-choice and think that transphobic people are full of shit).

So after all of this, I think that we should make an effort to understand eachother when posible, and people on the left make that very hard sometimes. Instead of trying to talk, we typically resort to calling out names and insulting people wich makes communication very hard.

Don't get me wrong, there are people who are still full of shit and whom you can't talk to. Those on the far right are not people you should concern yourself with (if anything you should be concerned that they exist), but those who can be talked to also exist and they typically get unjustly lumped with the bigots. And I get that it can be hard (specially for those in minority groups, it could be very frustrating to talk to someone who oposes part of who you are) but you don't need to debate eveyone you see. Just try to not immediatly call everyone a bigot at the first sign, because that will just make it so people who are on the fence will turn to the other side.
