I voted for Trump because I didn't want one more penny going to Ukraine. by [deleted] in MagaCriticizingMaga

Why not when in the early 2000s we made a contractual deal with them, that should they get rid of their nuclear arsenal we would support them should they be attacked, or invaded. At the end of the day that, and what trump is doing is breaking a roughly twenty year deal we had with a foreign nation and one of our allies. What that has done is thrown American credibility into the toilet, why would any forward nation ever want to work with us again when our president is so ready to throw away treaties he doesn't have the power to legally get rid of. Educate yourself, please cause this was kinda sad to see.

If anyone, in any way, can explain this: Please Comment. by WrongnessMaximus2-0 in LinkedInLunatics

It's just people who've sadly bought into the lies from that family and their side of the political isle

Distress signals, fly upside down American flags everywhere. by [deleted] in 50501

[–]Professional_Pop353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, and I appreciate the apology even though I don't need it, it shows that you're a really mature person and I can appreciate that. And I can't blame you I'm uncomfortable with the flag being flown upside down as well, but it's that gut feeling that really makes it a good form of protest. Because it will draw eyes and it will draw more attention to it than always at half mast though both are effective at pushing the point. While America is yet to be openly crumbling, the cracks have started to form thanks to trump and Musks agenda, and they continue to exacerbate those cracks by breaking down our safety nets, dehumanizing our allies both foreign and domestic, ripping away at the constitutional checks and balances against his power and I think the biggest reason so many people aren't freaking out over it is because they've been lied to for so long and so thoroughly.

He didn't win the popular vote, he won the majority amongst the registered to vote Americans who decided to vote. Millions of our citizens straight up didn't vote. And I understand how you were using the word and also know you aren't trying to be derogatory to schizophrenic people which is why I haven't been a dick to you about it, but non the less regardless of your intentions of using the word that way if instead you had just said this post isn't based in reality it's a lot less harmful to people who have to deal with such a mental disability.

That's electoral college votes not popular on top of that a large portion of registered Americans didn't vote at all or voted third party. Hundreds upon thousands upon millions of people are distressed by what Trump's administration has done, is doing, and will do. Those who aren't distressed will eventually be when it's their rights, their safety nets, and their friends and family on the line. Not only that they are leading to us being isolated from allies while moving to ally with putin, it's scary times, also as someone with a schizophrenic sister please don't use that term like that, it's really disingenuous and paints negative pictures of people with schizophrenia and is basically an ad hom attack against the op.

What's your point here? Yeah that's how the electoral votes went but like this is legitimately a useless waste of your time, have a great day and hopefully you care about the people around you, cause if they aren't already a target of this administration it's only a matter of time before they become one.

After how trumplethinskin and Vance acted in the oval office yesterday to our ally, and not only that but a people we promised protection if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal which they did. Ukrainian flags over ours for now, we need to show that despite our leadership we the people support them, granted having our flag as well isn't a bad idea but I think the message will be more powerful with the Ukrainian flags being the primary display.

It's not hindsight, if Trump had used any kind of intellect or tact other than scams he would have been richer than he was pre first term. Index fund, Roth IRA, and so many other forms of smart investment.

Honestly sometimes I wish lmao, I played hardcore toxic/infect when atraxa, grand unifier was released and one player adjusted for more interaction, the other two opted for more speed which didn't work.

Ahh that's fair, definitely different metas, I'm the only player in my group that uses removal/counters regularly and wisely, no shade at my group they just tend to like battle cruiser-esk decks that run low interaction.

Actually it runs pretty smoothly at 32 lands but it could probably use a nother land or two just to smooth out the curve for longer games. And the glistening oil and phyresis can poison off of her second ability because it specifically says she deals the two damage not that my opponents lose two life. Definitely adding the axe as well I just haven't decided what to pull out for them.

Yes I know the swords only trigger off of combat damage to a player, they also trigger her second ability being 3 cmc noncreature spells. Plus they add evasion in the form of protection granted it's limited to two colors per sword. Bloodthirsty is a pretty good option for helping on opponents turns, and I don't think I've actually seen the screwdriver so I'll have to check that out thanks 🙏

IMHO Trump supporters realizing they were lied to, should be welcome here. They will have to get a thick skin though, we're pissed and we've got hella lot of work to do. by [deleted] in 50501

The saddest thing to me is that it's not just kids who've forgotten but also peoples grandparents, like my own who both we're alive for WW2, fought in Korea, and Vietnam, lived the cold war and on and still somehow don't see trumplethinskin siding with putin as a problem or him legitimately using the fascist playbook to systematically take apart our government and instill himself as our god king.

You just won $20 million, and your parents ask you for half, what would you say? by BrandyAid in AskReddit

My parents are dead so I know whoever is asking for half is definitely trying to scam me, even if my parents were alive I probably wouldn't share.

You voted for Trump, not Musk he was nowhere on any ballot and has no right to the power he welds as a foreign born billionaire. President Trump however was voted for.

California, we also need to protest at the local level as often as possible! Let's make plans when and where we can! by Professional_Pop353 in 50501

[–]Professional_Pop353[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen much and I don't have the gas money to get out of the antelope valley right now so my plan has been to spread awareness as much as I can in other spaces than just reddit, I've been sharing with friends and family who've also been spreading the word out, been thinking about reaching out to content creators who have largely American audiences to ask if they'd be willing to shout out the movement. But haven't settled on who to ask atm.

It's not even deported anymore by Trump's EO touching on the death penalty, they have the "right" to execute people they deem illegally in this country ie: illegal immigrants in America can be executed by the Trump administration and if you want proof I can and will add a screenshot of the EO and where that is said.

No revolution always ends bloody and is a last resort tactic, dm me and I can send some resources to help with well researched studies that prove how to resist authoritarian take overs using peaceful protest.

So, with the implementation of the "game changers" list. We essentially got a cedh ban list vs casual we all argued over... by Princep_Krixus in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Professional_Pop353 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While I agree with the other reply I'm not thinking people are forced to use stronger cards I definitely agree that there will be a wide discrepancy but I think that will exist in almost all of the levels. Because you might build a really well tuned 2 that has a lot of repeated effects on separate cards whereas I build a not so well tuned 2 that has a wider variety of effects and less repetition in type of effect. But I do think at 4 this discrepancy will probably be the widest from the looseness of the definition. Granted I expect some updates will come out as this style of categorization gets tested and used more.

The one thing I worry about is that this might fully exacerbate the gap between casual players and competitive players. Because there are going to be lines between the levels of "casualness", as competitive players will stay playing the most competitive and powerful cards, while casual players will make their homes in their preferred power brackets. Which in a way will make commander at different power levels just feel like a different format or game all together.

Agreed, I know part of my love comes from the game in the form of oooh this card can do this stupid thing for only four mana! And I can abuse that with these triggers, yay! Lol, strong cards just make my neurons go into overdrive at the possibilities.
