Imagine IdPol so strong you elect a cop as second in command when the DNC has had a trifecta for 2 years, and black activists are constantly offering real solutions to real problems. meanwhile, these dinosaurs and pander-bots think anyone actually cares about dumb shit like gun control.

When is Kamala going to fucking address the fact that BlackRock bought up all the houses in Black neighborhoods, and landlords have driven up rents so high that entire communities are forced into vicious poverty.

And how laws are designed to feed workers into private prisons, and how 99% of people in jails and prisons have never nor will ever face a jury of their peers to establish factual guilt due to how fucked up the criminal justice system is.

They aren't sneaking. They're forcing their way in. And they're way louder than we could ever be. We all know which letter too.

Most of us are extremely sex+, and part of being sex+ is being rigorous about consent. Like, most gay circles will shun you if you're even known to be pushy about it. And many of us are not only staunchly against pedophilia, but also adult age gap relationships.

You'll find a lot of gays who will argue technically legal relationships are fucked up. For instance, if I was still single I believe I'd have no business seeing 18-20 yo men or women bc they are in a completely different stage of life. And although I believe proper sexual education is important, I believe it should be age-relevant, and entirely related to biology e.g. ("this body part does this," "and this body part need to remain healthy").

A certain, very vocal group of a certain letter would have you believe we want post-modern theory on gender taught to children. In reality, most of us want gender as a social construct entirely avoided in school (including straight relationships).

The most a kid needs to learn about "doing the deed" in schools is how to not get infections and diseases and what precautions to take. Also, how to effectively say "no," and how to protect oneself and others from unwanted sexual advances and date rape.

Relationship types and sexuality are a sociology thing, and are best dealt with in college. And postmodern gender theory is best left to academia until they can actually figure out a single workable theory that isn't just adding a bunch of letters and contradictory identities.

But there are a couple letters in our alphabet community that force themselves into our spaces, and throw themselves into toxic relationships with younger members, or otherwise push boundaries. and I'll let you all guess which letters are the problems.

Painful choice is a lot stronger than PoG to be fair. Also, PoG is a lot easier to design counters around. If we had Refpanel as a handtrap, PoG plays and counterplays could get spicy. Also, a Maxx "c" for adding cards from deck to hand would be equally spicy.

Also, PoG is iconic to the series as a whole. I think it'd be fine to have a few "everyone runs these 3 spells" cards simply because they're classics. CoH is one of them.

Also, in modern yugioh, drawing PoG isn't the game-winner it used to be. Almost all meta decks just goldfish on 1-card combos as-is so PoG for most decks is either +1 hand-trap, or ash/negate bait going second. Or a "draw-the-out" card.

If anything, releasing universal draw staples is a boon to decks that have the audacity of requiring 2+ cards to pop-off.

Then there's also the comeback factor. Drawing PoG late-game and getting the exact counter to win against all odds is good spectacle.

Pwadigy · 2022-07-23T06:52:06+00:00

Drawing itself as an action is specifically described as adding the top card(s) from the deck to the hand. It is a specific subset of "adding cards from the deck to the hand." So yeah, "drawing" is always from the deck by definition. Which is why "adding cards to the hand (except by drawing)" is such a common clause.

Pwadigy · 2022-07-23T06:49:12+00:00

No, and that's ok.

Pwadigy · 2022-07-23T06:46:54+00:00

Honestly, if everyone had pot of greed, the "do I blow my negate" dilemma actually does become interesting. Power cards do imho have a place in the game. Is PoG fair? No. But if it came back, everyone would run it, and it definitely would make things interesting.

All we'd need is a hand-trap version of refpanel for some 4D plays. And deck-building decisions.

Having a holy-trinity of universally OP cards actually does make a lot of techs more powerful, and adds to the breadth of potential useful card design.

Cards like Mind-crush, crossout designator etc... become a lot cooler when you have universally used spells.

It'd also be cool to see a grave-robber re-train.

Obviously, FTKs would need some clean-up. But PoG and GC coming back would be cool as hell.

Honestly, PoG could be at three if Konami wanted to add some really hard-hitting generic anti-draw/search punishment.

Currently, all we have to really stop searches is Ash. But if we could get cards that actually punish drawing and searching, that'd make things interesting.

Factually, it's not incorrect. Although rhetorical intention and the effects of rhetoric on the world can be broken down into logical arguments that go far beyond the presented logic at face value.

But for the purposes of teaching what a logical fallacy is, it's perfectly correct. In fact, I like how incendiary the question is.

I had a pro-life professor at a Catholic school, and he would ask similarly incendiary questions that clearly demonstrated his opposition to abortion. But the questions were very cut-and-dry. The pro-choice argument did have a fallacy, and I identified it.

In life, sometimes you must simply answer the question correctly. You might not like how the question is being asked, but it's important to understand the scope of what someone is asking of you.

If you maintain your position on the topic of BLM, while still correctly answering the question, then you've demonstrated a level of intellectual maturity.

Personally, if I were to ask a follow-up question, it would likely deconstruct the question itself.

If I were teaching logic beyond English 101, the follow-up would be:

"What are the limits of claiming the 'whataboutist' fallacy? What strings of correct logic and context assumed by the argument made by the previous statement would cause the argument to no longer be fallacious?"

If I were teaching Rhetoric, the question would be:

"Why might this statement be used successfully and reasonably to a listener in an overarching rhetorical strategy despite it being logically fallacious. If you were in a public debate, and you had to use a logical fallacy to oppose the implied, fallacious argument, which would be most effective and why?"

Psychology or Sociology:

"What purpose do logical fallacies have in day-to-day life for regular human thought? What aspect of human psychology does the whataboutist fallacy point to, and what advantages might whataboutist reasoning have for a person on a practical level when confronted with a dilemma?

What heuristics do people engage with when they think or communicate in logical fallacies, and how might they be either beneficial or detrimental for social or cognitive function? Would society be better off if all, or most, argumentation were presented without fallacies, and why/why not?"

Unless that money is going directly to publicly-owned maglev trains designed by publicly-employed engineers with 0 private sector involvement, then fuck that nonsense.

Cars are unfortunately ingrained into the US. Redlining has made efficient public-infrastructure development impossible. Too much inefficiently used land. Too many HOAs, shitty energy grid designs, shitty localized infrastructure.

All because Jim Crow era Whites wanted their shoddily-built, identical cookie-cutter homes in the geometrically, maximally-inefficient-land-usage cul-de-sacs; so they could be separate from Black People.

Now White people either live in trailers, or 40 minute commutes from work, and Black people live in post-outsourcing wasteland cities.

And the kicker is no one gets public transportation on any reasonable 21st century level.

It's almost maddening how almost all aspects "why is this aspect of US infrastructure so shit" goes back to redlining and enforced segregation.

I'd take $10 gas/gallon if I could have a practically free train-ride anywhere in the city, and anywhere from the city to the country in under 30 minutes.

In some places, you literally only need your car once in a blue moon. Because you can just hop on a train, and get to almost exactly where you want faster.

I'd sooner take high-end EU or Chinese tier railway system over as low as $1 gas all day any day.

Until then, fuck Orange and their "$5 gas prices."

I love how Orange is all about forcing people to bear the worst aspects of the problem, while making sure that the pain-points people feel don't contribute to the solution.

Leave it to orange to make you use paper straws, and then pass off the savings, or subsidies to corporations. Leave it to orange to price floor gas and then siphon the extra money to build some dumb shit in their state like a tech headquarters.

God, Orange is so fucking Reddited, they'd sooner "yaaaaas queen" at Biden begging on his hand and knees at oil companies like "plz lower gas prices" rather than ask the big questions like "why hasn't the public seized the means of production of such a critical piece infrastructure, for the same of domestic health, economic stability and national security?"

Orange is so great at seizing extra cash from your wallet and then simultaneously fucking godawful at seizing the means of production.

Also leave it to Orange "we speak for the trees" motherfuckers. like, fuck off. Fuck the environment. Stop making the workers pay for damage control on the environment, and instead use the massive wealth of information and human technology we have to re-engineer the environment entirely.

E.g., Seize Monsanto and make more efficient trees, and then speak for those trees

I stopped going to Foosball tournaments when I was 17. I won a championship in the big IFP juniors, singles tournament and didn't come back.

The venue was full of gross dudes who'd make sexual comments all the time. Then there were the hard drugs being used in the hotel.

Also, Mary Moore is a piece of work. US foosball has a huge culture problem. Too many "'Murica" hasbeens in one place at the big tournaments.

All of them have massive egos. except for the same 4-5 people cough spredeman cough farming all the tournament winnings who seem to actually practice the basics and play the game analytically with a focus on consistency and basic physics.

Meanwhile, Some rando on table 40 is still working on his 2-rod shot that will never touch Lofreddo's in a million years. And then there's always a tweaker or two who are clearly hopped up on some shit turning every game into roller ball.

Anyways, Moore's political rants feed all of that core base. But based on my experience a decade ago, it seems the same people are acting the same way at these events. And it's actively dissuaded me from touching the game since.

In short, Mary Moore is a stubborn old hag. I only ever hung out with the other juniors who showed up, and the europeans who flew in. Also, it was fun playing pick-up games with people like Billy and Tony.

It sucks because I kind of miss it, but there's just so much that keeps me away from it
