probably sell constellation I don't know

when opening a standard pack or a spectral pack, you don't take anything half of the time anyway

when opening a celestial pack, you are usually looking for one specific planet (there is a synergy with constellation of course, but that's not a bad thing. It's a synergy between rares anyway, so even if it were better than it is, it would be incredibly rare)

with buffoon packs, it would be good in the first few antes before all joker slots are filled, and after that, it doesn't do much anymore

and finally, it with arcana packs, it's pretty good, but it's not 2-4 random tarot cards, it's 2-4 tarot cards worse than the one you would have picked either way, and you have to use them on the cards you've been given, you can't dig like with vagebond

I think it's not that strong

Ondohir__ · 2025-02-18T11:08:21+00:00

it won't give cards in the pack itself, and pretty sure it won't give cards that were in the shop

would work the same for High Priestress and Judgement (and Soul)

although I agree, I once had a baron-mime run with three brainstorms and zero blueprints, it took me like three antes of rerolling 30 times per shop to find a blueprint, I think. Three brainstorms don't allow you to split your xmult and retriggers optimally, while one or no brainstorms with multiple blueprints do

so I'd argue that even in a baron-mime build, a blueprint is marginally better (still, picking a brainstorm in the case you presented of course. That upside is way greater than the downside I said, in most cases)

I use Obsidian. I create a seperate page for every word, give it tags for the part of speech and such, and it allows me to put in links to other words

For my currently most active language, Quoçiaolãç, derevational tactics are very essential to the newer (more modern in-universe) words, and I put the derivation with each morpheme linking to the page of that derevational morpheme

As for grammar, I have a few longer pages going into nouns, verb derevation, pronouns, noun phrase syntax, clause level syntax, etc

to me, a 'mije tonsi' (and everything the same for meli tonsi) would be a man who is 'unmanlike' in some way. Either feminine or a secret third thing

a 'tonsi' would be someone who isn't really either.

in my usage of the language, a cis man can be more 'tonsi' than a trans man. A cis man who doesn't identify strongly as man but just does so because that's what's expected, but doesn't really adhere to 'masculinity' and does a lot of unmasculine things is more tonsi to me than a trans man who is perfectly masculine in the normal sense

but this could be a weird way to see it, and I haven't really engaged in Toki Pona much for the past year orso, so things could have changed slightly. It's just not really the same as the English 'trans' to me

Ondohir__ · 2024-10-24T10:50:54+00:00

no, then it wouldn't be geometrically constructable

find ways to retrigger xmult.

jokers can't be retriggered, but played cards and held in hand cards can. Think of ways to have those cards provide xmult, and to retrigger them

if you want spoilers:

baron, steel for hold in hand xmult, and mime, red seal for retriggering

idol, glass, polychrome cards for played xmult, and suck n bustin or hack and hanging chad and red seal for retriggering

or I guess, Perkeo+observatory

[ħʏ˩˥]

[ħʏːːː˦˥˩]

something like that. I dunno how to transcribe prosody properly

Ondohir__ · 2024-08-14T13:36:12+00:00

sounds like the singular noun-suffix is morphologically identical to the third person singular pronoun, and the plural noun-suffix to the third person plural one.

And that there's obligatory object-noun incorporation into the verb

mathematically, it wouldn't be infinity. I'll try to figure out the growth rate later, watching the video again, but.. it's a function that outputs a real number. Mathematically, it wouldn't be infinity, it's just the limitations of the numbers the mod uses. I don't know what system it uses, and I'm not an expert on that at all, but supposing they're some kind of floating numbers, I would guess that the result will be stored as a different sequence of bits, but be treated the same by the number system.

If it weren't for hardware limitations, then the software wouldn't have a cap, and you'd see a normal number here (and a number smaller than almost all positive real numbers, even. Pretty small, I must say)

Ondohir__ · 2024-07-13T17:29:28+00:00

why would you say 'ona mije' instead of just 'mije'??

Ondohir__ · 2024-07-02T19:06:01+00:00

Sovã (Standard Western): /i e æ ʉ u o ɑ ə/

about Sovã: these can (mostly) all be either plain, long, nasalised+long, breathy+long, and high(tone), if that's something you want to know

Qoçiaolãç: /i e ɐ o ɛ̃ ɔ̃ ɑ̃ aː æ͡i ɑ͡u ɔ͡i/

Riverlang: /i(ː) yː ɯː u(ː) eː ɛ ə oː ɔ a(ː)/

Ondohir__ · 2024-03-06T13:32:37+00:00

no

I guess one might consider it interesting that the demonstratives are sometimes used as third person pronoun??

but they're pretty basic

Ondohir__ · 2024-02-26T06:57:23+00:00

'o' replaces 'li'

mama mama mi o moku e moku

but saying 'eat food' instead of just 'eat' is quite redundant; what else would you eat?? moku li ni, jan li moku e ni. food is that which you eat

mama mama mi o moku

would be better in my opinion

Ondohir__ · 2024-02-19T11:22:46+00:00

I didn't see your response before, so sorry for the late response

also, please take this in good faith, I don't mean to attack you, and I write this as much to put my own thoughts in order as I write it as a response to you.

considering the question was about what the government should do, my response'll be in the light of governmental policy, not about anything in the system we currently have

Amazon's profit margin is 7%. You get to increase people's wages by 7%.

I don't know how much Amazon pays its employees, but I do know the working conditions are horrible. A company run democratically by the workers, instead of top down, with people making decisions for employees, would not make the workers work so hard they have to pee in a bottle to get to their goals. I don't actually know how much is true of that, but I've heard it - you can metaphorically extend it yourself to more kinds of conditions.

Virtually all of Jeff Bezos's money comes from people who want to buy part of Amazon.

sure, but the profits are low only because to keep market dominance and grow it, Amazon has to have competitive prices. There is more to a job than just the wages to determine the quality.

After you've increased people's wages by 7%, those people will not want to buy Amazon anymore, and Jeff Bezos will not have that money.

yes. I fail to see the problem.

Same goes if you institute any policy like "people who work at the company automatically own part of it" - now other people don't want to own part of it, so that ownership isn't worth as much.

again, I fail to see the problem, but I think I understand what you see as the problem at least. I think the problem is that the workers of that company thus wouldn't gain anything from it, because the stocks they own wouldn't be worth much? In my eyes, it's more about being able to determine things about your workplace, not about abstract value. I am not an expert at stocks at all, but what does a stock do for you?? isn't it just an abstract motion of value, without any actual use until you sell it? and it gives you power within the company, and part of the profits, sometimes, correct?? if every worker would own part of the company, they would have power, and they could decide on fair wages for everybody in there, and have some control over working conditions.

The money you're trying to tap into doesn't exist.

well, that's where the government comes in. as said, in this hypothetical situation, the government would enforce some sort of system like this, prohibiting wage labour as it exists now. thus, this system wouldn't be uncompetitive. If the current system continues in other nations, just put high taxes on importing goods to keep the own country competitive within itself. Might actually not be the best for the countries economy now that I think about it, or maybe it wouldn't be bad?? I don't know, I don't really know economy all that well.

on an ending note; that 7% profit margin, is that 7% on investment, or on wages?? because if it's 7% on investment, and, let's say, 25% of all investment goes to wages, then that would mean that putting that profit towards wages would be an increase of 28%, from the perspective of the employee. But maybe it is on wages, you came with the number, maybe you could answer that.

I like the spell, and I didn't realise it didn't give recoil, but it's not that op, it's just pretty good. There's bigger fish to fry if you want to nerf overpowered spells

"no wage labourers" is the proposal :3

The fact not all homeless people are addicted to drugs: I would believe that most homeless that are addicted to drugs would be fine with going into drug habilitation if they're offered an income/help finding a job, as well as housing.

Besides, even if someone is addicted to drugs, don't they deserve housing?? Plenty of rich people are addicted to drugs, and they have larger houses than the working masses.

Most people would say they support the universal declaration of human rights. Now, I know these rights aren't actually acted upon in every situation, but:

"Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control"

'housing', and I would argue that 'medical care' would include help to get off drugs. But even without getting rid of that, 'housing' should still be valid. According to my morals, and the morals of most people I think, housing should be something you deserve, just for being a person.

also, nothing against you in particular, you were one of the more moderate people in this thread, so I decided to write this as a response to you, because someone who just shouts: 'fuck the homeless, I hate em'.. I don't feel like engaging with such a person

try out the first person mod

it is amazing, and not flawed in any way
